M.A.S.K. Blind Bag Variants Available Now

The newest addition to the Energon Universe, M.AS.K., was released today, and in celebration Skybound, alongside the regular releases and variants, they are releasing blind bag variants. There are three different comics you could possibly get in the bags, only one of which is actually M.A.S.K.#1. Normally, I wouldn’t buy a blind bag but I…

The Decepticons are Stuntin On Them! G2 Menasor Preorder Now Live

I almost completely missed the G2 era of Transformers. The only portion I remember is the rerelease of the original series with the animatronic Optimus and the little kid. I never saw any of the toys on the shelves, but I also was more into TMNT around that time. If I had looked, I would…

Coming Soon To Walmart Collector-Con! Marvel Legends Retro Card Kraven the Hunter

Every year leading up to Comic-Con, Walmart has their own collector-centric event called Collector-con. It appears as a section on their site that sells items that appeal to fans of different properties and fandoms. Marvel Legends usually has a couple of items listed and one has just been revealed. Here are the images of the…

Squadron Supreme! Hasbro Reveals Hyperion/Doctor Spectrum Two-pack

Time to start a new team! Today Hasbro has revealed their new two-pack with Hyperion and Doctor Spectrum. Hyperion previously had a figure released years back in the Hulkbuster wave(?) I think. The figure was pretty bulky and has a cape that is a bit too long. This new mold is a bit more streamlined…

A Diamond Select Toys release! The heroes in a half-shell are back, for an all-new box set of 2-inch Minimates!

If You Didn’t Preorder Wave 1 Of The MOTU Classics, You Can Still Buy Them

I think we can all agree that Masters of the Universe Classics are awesome. Unfortunately, since Super7 acquired the license from Mattel, the release of Classics has slowed to a trickle. Ordering them isn’t easy either. Their preorder structure doesn’t allow for individual ordering unless you order a full set. Yeah, unless you are a…

Spider-Man & Mary Jane Animated Statue by Gentle Giant

It makes no difference who Marvel pairs Parker up with, for most long time fans Mary Jane will always be the only one for Spider-Man. Unfortunately, in the main their marriage has been controversially ended and he is currently dating Mockingbird. Luckily, Marvel is putting out a book monthly that shows what Spider-Man’s life could…

Magneto Maquette by Sideshow Collectibles Now Up For Preorder

Am I the only one wondering what the difference is between a statue and a maquette? A maquette is a small scale model or rough draft of an unfinished sculpture. Ah. Small scale model. A statue is typically life sized or larger. Now that we all know the difference, let’s look at the new maquette from…

Kotobokiya Bishoujo Captain Marvel Now Up For Preorder

I am actually surprised this hasn’t been released before. I haven’t paid close attention to the Bishoujo line, but I could have sworn there has been a Captain Marvel release already. Order Marvel Captain Marvel Bishoujo Statue from Entertainment Earth! I like it. The art style puts me in the mind of the Lupin III…

Friday TRU posted an interview with an employee named Errin who explained what he does and why it’s so cool. During the course of the video he points out various items that have come across his desk and among them was a box set of what appears to be Logan from the Days of Future…

Comic Connoisseur: FROM ISLAND TO GRAPHIC NOVEL: THE PERVERT POISED TO HIT STORES THIS APRIL

Understanding each other is crucial to living in a society. Many of the problems we face today are the result of people closing their eyes and ears to the experiences others go through. But how do you do this? I don’t think there is one person with the solution, but there are many storytellers who…

Mezco ONE:12 Collective Ironman Figure Up For Preorder!

Now this is an Ironman figure! Mezco always has some pretty awesome designs for their figures and this Ironman continues the trend of excellence. What is truly awesome is that there will be metal parts included. This will hopefully give this premium figure an even more premium feel. It will also have light up features…

Sideshow Exclusive Deadman by Prime 1 Studios Now Up For Preorder

I can honestly say I am not a fan of Deadman. He’s a superhero who’s dead. Apparently he was murdered by an assassin and now seeks justice as a ghost. He also can’t interact with the corporeal world unless he possesses the body of a living person. Not really a compelling character by himself, though…

Wave 2 Of The Mighty Marvel Muggs Now Up For Preorder!

Mighty Muggs are like the natural evolution of a standard Funko figure. They feature a gimmick where if you push down on the head, it changes the expression on the figures face. Cool. Order Marvel Mighty Muggs Black Panther Action Figure from Entertainment Earth! I suppose they are pretty successful since there is going to…

Marvel Legends Black Bolt Images & Impressions

I have horrible luck when it comes to getting SDCC Marvel Legends. Usually the best I can hope for is that the figures I want will be listed for a reasonable price on eBay. Lately though, Hasbro has been giving those of us unable to make it to SDCC a chance at some of those…
