Some great new things for Injustice Gods Among Us were revealed today. We get a full fight trailer for the upcoming DLC character General Zod. Originally he was revealed on an episode of Conan, but now we get an uninterrupted look at how he plays. I must say, I think it’s incredible just how different they made him from Superman. In addition to the Zod trailer reveal, it’s been announced that the same day Zod goes on sale we will also be getting a Man of Steel Superman skin!

This marks the third sneak peek we’ve gotten for the upcoming NECA Man of Steel 1/4 scale figure. This time, we get a look at the figure fully painted. There doesn’t seem to be any word on whether this is a painted prototype, or a painted production sample, but seeing as how it’s meant to be out in July, I would guess the latter. If you want to look at the other sneak peeks to get a glimpse of the NECA Man of Steel 1/4 scale figure in the pre-paint stage, just click here and here.

Ask Mattel – Answers for June 17th, 2013

Hey everyone. I should have posted this yesterday, but I completely spaced. But here are the answers Mattel sent in for this session of Ask Mattel!

 

Black Arbor asks: Concerning the Power Attack Batman line: One of the deluxe Batman figures came with a cardboard cutout of Scarecrow. I’m just wondering, is that an indication that a Scarecrow figure is in the works? I really hope so, the design looks Awesome!

Scarecrow is a top Batman villain and will almost certainly be a part of the Batman Power Attack/ Evergreen line at some point… though his design has gone through some evolutions over the last year from the time that target figure artwork was created!

 

 

Mint Condition Customs asks: So on the Toys “R” Us website, there are 8 different Man of Steel movie masters figures listed. The 8th one is a mystery though, as there’s no description, name for the character, or picture. Is this is a mistake by Toys “R” Us, or is there an 8th figure on the way, and if so is this character deliberately being held back for reveal until the movie premieres?

News – 2013 SDCC Exclusive Man of Steel Superman Vs. Zod 2 Pack Fully Revealed

Before, Mattel only gave us a peek at the outside box packaging of this 2013 San Diego Comic-Con exclusive set, but thanks to an article posted on USAToday earlier today, we now have a full look at what’s being included in the set! The reason Mattel waited until now to fully reveal the set is because they wanted to wait until after the movie was released. I’m not totally sure why, since it’s not really a spoiler or anything, but I suppose you can never be too careful.

Last week we got a behind-the-scenes look at the upcoming NECA Man of Steel Superman 1/4 Scale figure. Well NECA was nice enough to give us a second sneak peek, this time with a full shot of the figure with the included cloth cape attached. This is still pre-paint, so obviously the finished product will look different, but I like how it’s turning out.

You can pre-order the NECA Man of Steel 1/4 scale figure on Amazon right now!
