Hot Toys Announces Licenses for the Expendables, TRON, Resident Evil and More

All of these should be great, but the Expendables seems like it’s right in Hot Toys’ wheelhouse. I also wonder if we’ll see some innovation with the TRON license, since electronics seems a natural fit.

I hope both these movies kick some ass!

San Diego Comic-Con 2010 Most Wanted – Talyn

Though I am unable to attend SDCC this year, there is much I look forward to seeing and hearing about, action figure and otherwise.

Transformers (Hasbro)

BotCon 2010 09.jpg

I collect Transformers pretty heavily, and at this year’s Botcon several weeks ago, some amazing descriptions for upcoming figures were given by those who attended. I am hoping these figures get shown at Comic Con this year. These include the LONG awaited Generations (Classics) Jazz with pop-out boombox speakers, as well as a few other favorites like Tracks, Perceptor, Reflector & more. Im also looking forward to seeing a new Power Core Combiner themed after the original G1 Dinobots named ‘Grimstone.”

Hasbro is also planning on showing more info about the upcoming Hub television show; Transformers: Prime, so hopefully some video comes from that as well.

Disney Consumer Products Announces TRON: Legacy Toy Line from Spin Master

I’ll admit that I wasn’t that thrilled by how Spin Master handled the Last Airbender action figures, but I’m willing to give them another shot with the TRON: Legacy line of toys. I’ll hope that under Disney’s guidance these turn out better.

Both the 12-inch and 7.5-inch figure lines will feature facial images that are projected into / onto the heads. The prototypes for the smaller figures include some nice articulation for a toy with a lot of electronics – perhaps that accounts for the non-standard size.

TRON 7.5” Impulse Projection Action Figures

Manufacturer: Spin Master
SRP: $14.99
Retailers: Mass retailers
Available: October 2010

Collect your favorite TRON characters with detailed articulation. Each 7.5” character features light-up body stylings, amazing Impulse Projection Technology that lights up life-like images of the character faces, and quotes from the movie in each character’s voice. Each comes with a different accessory.

TRON 12” Impulse Projection Action Figures

Manufacturer: Spin Master
SRP: $39.99
Retailers: Mass retailers
Available: October 2010

Bring the hero to life with the Ultimate Sam Flynn Figure, featuring incredible Impulse Projection Technology that reveals a lit-up life-like image of Sam’s face, light-up body, movie quotes in Sam’s voice, and tons of weapons!

The complete press release follows, including a video that starts with the Zero-G Light Cycle. It took me a moment to realize that the Light Cycle was actually on the wall of the room. Cool!
