NECA has tweeted several photos of their upcoming Aliens Hicks and Hudson action figures. Included are several unpainted test shot images, and a couple of painted shots. Also shown are some pics of the Alien Warrior that will be included in Aliens Series 1. These figures are due out next Spring.
Check out all the photos after the jump.
NECA recently added new images for their upcoming Predators Series 8 Major Dutch Schaefer action figure. Included in the images is an unpainted test shot to whet the appetites of Predator fans. Series 8 includes two different versions: Jungle Extraction Dutch and Jungle Patrol Dutch. Look for series 8 in February. These are sure to be big sellers, since this marks the first time a human character from the Predator movies has been made into action figure form by NECA.
Jungle Extraction Dutch is faithful to his appearance as they first enter the jungle, complete with military shirt and vest, features over 20 points of articulation, an M-16, Pistol, Machete, and Knife accessories. Jungle Patrol Dutch is immortalized in his camo muscle shirt and vest and features over 20 points of articulation, an M-16, Pistol, and Knife accessories.

If you live in Texas, particularly the DFW area, and you’re a toy collector who is unfamiliar with Dallas Vintage Toys, then that is a travesty. Dallas Vintage Toys is easily the best kept secret in the metroplex. Unfortunately, secrets don’t make money. So I wanted to help get the word out. I’ve been shopping at Dallas Vintage Toys for a long time, ever since I stumbled across their website.
You have to travel to an office building, get on an elevator, and go up 6 floors to get to their store. It’s completely worth it though. They have all kinds of toys from the 70’s-90’s, and even some modern stuff. And their prices are really great. If you want to keep track of their updates, “like” their Facebook page. And be sure to check out this video below of an “Epic Tour” that some fan made, showing you all there is to see of Dallas Vintage Toys.
Earlier in the week I posted that DC Collectibles had announced the coming of some 3.75″ Injustice action figure 2 packs. The first set revealed was Green Arrow and Deathstroke. Now, thanks to BigBadToyStore, we have an image of the upcoming Wonder Woman and Solomon Grundy 2 pack. The figures are based on the game designs and will come with lots of articulation and character appropriate accessories. They’re set to retail for $29.95 per set, however BBTS has both sets for pre-order right now for just $26.99 each.
Continue after the jump for the full sized image of the 2 pack.

DC 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.

That’s right, I was recently interviewed by the Collector’s Workbench, a site for toy collectors and customizers alike. It was a lot of fun, and hopefully would be a good read. If you want to check it out, just click here and it will take you straight to the interview. Let me know what you think about it!
Mattel 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!
Bluefin Tamashii Nations USA released an image on their Facebook page of an upcoming S.H. Figuarts Dragonball Z Vegeta action figure. This one is based on his first appearance in the anime and manga, before he was Super Saiyan. This is also when he still had his monkey tail and was wearing the full Saiyan armor and had an energy scouter. He comes with an alternate set of folded arms to recreate his classic stance from the show. Check out the full sized image after the jump.
Mattel posted some packaged images for their upcoming Masters of the Universe Classics Jitsu figure on their Facebook page. Jitsu is set to be released in February of 2013. Check out the images after the jump.
