Hasbro to Release 9 ‘New’ Iron Man Action Figures

Hasbro recently announced it will be releasing 9 “new” Iron Man action figures in its series based on the movie. Of course all 9 appear to be nothing more than repaints and/or minor modifications of the previously released figures (which have already seen a number of minor and repaints). Still, this Battle Monger figure is pretty fraking cool,

Superhero Times Review of DC Direct 1:6th Scale Supergirl

Superhero Times gives a thumbs up review to DC Direct’s 1:6th scale Supergirl. Personally, I think the arms on the figure look more than a bit absurd (and this is a figure that’s roughly $90 at retail).

However, I am still tempted to pick this up everytime I pass it by at the local comic book store because of its accessories including . . . wait for it . . . Streaky the Super Cat,

Legion of Super-Pets anyone?

Form of . . . an Action Figure!

Mattel’s been announcing its SDCC exclusives, and at the top of the list has to be this DC Universe Classics rendering of Wonder Twins 2 pack with Gleek. The Wonder Twins 2 pack will be offered for sale later at MattyCollector.com, but the only way to get Gleek is at SDCC.  Hmm . . . a Wendy and Marvin 2 pack might not be far behind.

Mattel’s JLU Legion of Super-Heroes Figures

It was awesome that DC managed to finally pull off a Legion of Super-Heroes cartoon, but then it pretty much ended almost as soon as it began and there were almost no toys based on the series (McDonald’s was pretty much the only source for collectors there). Mattel plans to remedy that oversight by releasing a set of LSH figures as part of its Justice League Unlimited line. These will only be available for sale directly on its MattyCollector.com site beginning May 15, 2009.
