Last night, on Hot Toys Facebook page, they posted a bunch of official photos of their upcoming G.I. Joe Retaliation Storm Shadow 1/6 scale action figure. Wow, does this figure look incredible. Anyone who knows me knows that I loves some G.I. Joe, and I’m very excited for the new movie.
I already plan to get the Retaliation Snake Eyes figure, and I’ll definitely have to add Storm Shadow to the list.

Last October I posted prototype pictures of some upcoming DC Comics Unlimited figures:
New 52 Darkseid
New 52 Aquaman
Injustice Superman
Injustice Joker was supposed to be in that mix as well, but there were no pictures to provide. Well, now there are. EBay seller ws_toys has a copy of this figure for auction right now. This happens a lot with toys, where samples from the factories overseas will leak out and be sold online. There’s no telling if the pictures are of the finished product, or of early factory samples. I’m sure the finished product will be on display at the New York Toy Fair next weekend, so we can know for sure.
In the meantime, continue after the jump to view all the pictures.

Holy Batman figure variants, Batman! I have to admit, this one was unexpected, to say the least. In an article posted on the LA Times today, this Vampire Batman figure was revealed. It’s based on the Elseworlds comic from the early 90’s where Batman was indeed turned into a vampire and proceeded to kill ALL THE PEOPLE. It’s actually kind of awesome.
The article says that the figure is from Mattel’s DC Unlimited line, but I think that might be wrong. This clearly belongs in the Batman Unlimited line. At any rate, I’m sure we’ll get clarification on this, as well as many more awesome reveals when Toy Fair comes next weekend. Thanks to Toy News International for the larger image.

Gah! Holy crap, Archer is getting its own action figure line! I’ve been saying for years this needs to happen, and once again this week the Toy Gods are good to me and see fit to make it happen.
Archer is one of my favorite current TV shows, in no small part due to the hilarious H. Jon Benjamin. It’s also just generally one of my favorite shows ever. Thanks to Toy News International for the heads up.

Yesterday I posted about a rumor floating around regarding a line of 6″ Star Wars figures Hasbro was planning. Thankfully the internet Gods saw fit not to make me look like an idiot, and today it was revealed officially by Hasbro in an article on USAToday that they are indeed planning a line of 6″ Star Wars action figures called Star Wars Black Series. The line is set to have very detailed sculpts, and loads of articulation, close to the amount packed into current Marvel Legends from the looks of it.
Continue after the jump for some info regarding the figures, and shots of the first action figure in the line revealed thus far, X-Wing Fighter Pilot Luke Skywalker!

In a turn of events that’s sent a large portion of the internet into full rage mode, Cartoon Network has cancelled the incredibly popular Young Justice and Green Lantern cartoons. In a press release sent out today, they announced their new and returning shows for the 2013-2014 season. Among the shows not listed were the aforementioned shows, along with Star Wars: The Clone Wars which is transferring to Disney XD after Disney’s acquisition of Lucasfilm.
Last year, fans got the bad news that Thundercats was cancelled when Cartoon Network released a similar press release with that show missing from it’s 2012-2013 season, so this does seem pretty official. Also damning is Green Lantern showrunner Giancarlo Volpe announcing on Twitter that Green Lantern was indeed cancelled and the show would finish out the current season.
Almost immediately after the announcements, a petition was put online to help save the show. Now, online petitions in general don’t seem to really get anywhere, but who knows what might come of it? Young Justice is insanely popular and is considered one of the best cartoons on television right now.

The website Rebelscum is reporting a rumor that Hasbro is working with Gentle Giant to create a line of highly detailed, super articulated line of 6″ action figures based on Star Wars. Hasbro and Gentle Giant already work together on the the Marvel Legends line, but every time Hasbro has been asked in the past about the possibility of a 6″ Star Wars line they’ve said they have no plans.
