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,

Cloverfield Figure Review from Action-Figure.Com

Gollum over at Action-Figure.Com has a so-so review of the Cloverfield monster action figure,

So, bottom line..on the positive side: It’s a cool monster with lots of articulation and is loads of fun. On the negative: It’s a little more expensive than it should be, and is probably coming out a little late since the movie isn’t fresh on people’s minds anymore.

Yeah, and since the movie barely cleared $80 million domestic it wasn’t really on too many people’s minds to begin with. I assume all of the (unwarranted as it turned out) secrecy over the movie prevented doing toys in time for the movie’s release.

Marvel Legends Icons Waves 5 and 6

Images of Waves 5 and 6 of Hasbro’s Marvel Icons series have hit all the usual action figure websites. I dunno, these look okay in the promo pictures, but I gave up on this line a long time ago due to the absolutely awful sculpts on some of the figures (see, for example, the awful head sculpt on the Marvel Legends Icons Magneto –ugh).
