Injustice Gods Among Us 3.75" Green Arrow and Deathstroke from DC CollectiblesDC Collectibles is delving into the 3 3/4″ action figure market once again with figures based on the upcoming video game Injustice: Gods Among Us. So far there are two sets announced, each one coming with two figures. The first, which you can see pictures of after the jump, is Green Arrow and Deathstroke. The second set announced will be Wonder Woman and Solomon Grundy.

Just like with their 3 3/4″ Green Lantern line that was released solely as convention exclusives, these will be packed with articulation and character appropriate accessories. Unlike the Green Lantern line, these are believed to be released in comic and specialty shops. It’s also possible you might see these pop up at Game Stop and other video game stores, but that’s unconfirmed as of now.

They’re set to be released in April of 2013, to coincide with the release of the video game, and will retail for $29.95 per set.

Masters of the Universe Classics MOTUC Granamyr Dragon In Package Front Rudy Obrero PaintingMattel just revealed boxed pictures of the upcoming MOTUC Granamyr on their Mattycollector Facebook page. The front of the package displays a new painting by long time Masters of the Universe artist Rudy Obrero. The figure will come painted in “Filmation Red”, as per the fan vote back at SDCC 2011. The back of the package features an all new bio for Granamyr. The figure will be disassembled inside the package, no doubt to make the box as small as possible to save on shipping, hence the lack of window display and the need for the awesome painting on the front. Granamyr will be released this December 17th on Mattycollector.com for $80. Check out the full sized packaged images after the jump!

Mattel Mattycollector Logo

Brandon Asks: When the C&C Nekron was released, it was indicated that you guys would work hard to find a way to release the Scythe, which didn’t cost out at the time. Is this still in the works or should DCUC fans be trying to get the DC Direct accessory or finding something workable elsewhere?

We’re always looking into way to release older items. Sometimes it takes months, other times years, but we do try!

 

 

Black Arbor asks: I don’t expect as diverse a character selection as DC Universe Classics at retail ever again, but will the Batman unlimited/ DC unlimited lines have a good selection of characters (both heroes and villains) and not just variations of main characters?
