New Custom Action Figure – Man of Steel Movie Masters Repaint with Heat Vision Blast

Hey guys! I know it’s been a while since I posted a new custom here. I promise I’ve been working on a lot of new stuff, I just space and forget to post anything, I get so caught up in the actual customizing. Anyway, I wanted to share my latest custom with you. I took the newly released Superman Man of Steel movie masters figure and gave him a classic style repaint, with very vibrant colors and even gave him his trunks back! I also sculpted a spit curl on him, made it so the figure could look up, and gave him a bunch of accessories like kryptonite rocks and even some heat vision blast attachments! Be sure to click here, or on one of the photos below to view the entire photo set and read the full description to see just how this custom got made.

And if you’re interested, you can bid on this custom right now on eBay. If you know someone who might be interested, pass the link along.

 

Thanks for looking!

News – 2013 SDCC Exclusive MOTUC Mini He-Man & Skeletor Figures Revealed

Now this is a cool bit of news. Finishing up Mattel’s week long 2013 San Diego Comic-Con reveals, we conclude with something a lot of fans might find familiar. Mattel is releasing a 2 pack of stylized mini figures of He-Man and Skeletor, based on their designs from the iPhone game that came out last year. Fans will notice that these figures look very reminiscent of the “Mini Masters” that the Four Horsemen sculpted and had presented on display at conventions this past year. They were never something Mattel was going to for sure release, just one of those things the Four Horsemen love doing on their own to gauge interest.

If I didn’t know any better, I’d swear that the character designs for the iPhone game were purposefully modeled after those Mini Masters, so Mattel would have a viable excuse to release them. They don’t look exactly like those sculpts, but they’re close enough to make the comparison for sure.

News – Star Wars the Black Series Boba Fett 2013 SDCC Exclusive Revealed

USA Today got the exclusive for this, so thanks to them for breaking the story. We now have a fantastic look at the fully revealed 2013 San Diego Comic-Con exclusive Star Wars the Black Series Boba Fett with Han Solo in carbonite. It will be sold at the Hasbro booth at San Diego Comic Con from July 18th to 21st, and it will cost $44.99. Yeah, I know, that’s a pretty big price for a 6″ figure, even with all the accessories he comes with, and considering the retail figures will only cost about $20.

And speaking of, now is a good time to point out that Boba Fett himself is not the exclusive. Before fans get up in arms, there will be a retail version of Boba Fett released in the 6″ scale in The Black Series. The part that makes this set unique and exclusive is that picking him up at 2013 San Diego Comic-Con is the only way to get Han Solo in carbonite. I know what you’re gonna say “that still sucks!”, and I completely agree. But I’m sure he’ll be available after the show on Hasbro Toy Shop, but who knows how easy it will be to get him. Anyway, I digress.

News – The Mandarin Iron Man 3 Marvel Legends 6″ Movie Figure Revealed!

Thanks to io9 for getting this exclusive and breaking the news, but yes you read right, Hasbro is releasing a 6″ movie figure of Sir Ben Kingsley as The Mandarin from Iron Man 3! The figure is set to release this Fall, as part of the Iron Man Legends series currently put out by Hasbro. It’s the same series in the Iron Monger Build-A-Figure line, though since when this figure gets released all the pieces to build Iron Monger will have already been put out, I don’t know if he’ll come with a BAF piece or what they’re planning to do. Stay tuned here for any updates on that.

You can buy all the current Iron Man Legends figures (sans The Mandarin) at BigBadToyStore right now!

Black Arbor asks: If the 60’s Batman series does well at retail (fingers crossed!), is it possible we’ll see figures of some of the one-off guest villains and supporting characters?

That’s always a possibility!

 

 

RXOK asks: Will Catwoman from the 60’s line have her mask on or off? Or will there be a variant of both like TDKR Catwoman had?
