At the Bluefin Tamashii Nations USA booth at New York Comic-Con, they had the Mighty Morphin’ Red Ranger on display. Naturally this must mean the other team members are coming to.

It was announced yesterday that DC Collectibles would be showcasing a lot of new product this weekend at New York Comic-Con. Amongst everything was Arkham City series 4, revealing Nightwing, Talia Al Ghul, and a brand new Batman figure (that’s right, not the same one they’ve been using since wave 1 of Arkham Asylum) with a very wide range of articulation, something DC Collectibles is not known for.

Just when you think LEGO is slowing down with Batman sets, they hit us with something like this. The website Brickset posted information regarding this new set, titled “Arkham Asylum Breakout”. It was unveiled in Seattle during Brick Con and will come with 1,619 pieces! Several years ago, LEGO released another Arkham Asylum set that only had 860 pieces, so this is incredible.

It appears as if the popular toy store website, Figure of the Day, is closing down. No reason is given as to why the store is closing, but they are currently selling off their domain name at $2,500.00 (or Best Offer) in place of any action figure today.
The store started out very strong and has steadily grown in popularity all throughout this year. This is in small part due to the fact that they most often have figures at cheaper prices than other stores, and offer free shipping. This may be the double-edged sword that spelled the store’s doom. Offering up product for cheap prices is great for consumers, but not so much for businesses. It’s likely that we’ll get an official statement explaining why the store is closing in the coming days, and if so then I will keep you all updated.
For now, continue after the jump to read what little information has been provided on the site’s closing.

That’s right, the hit series following Kevin Smith and the crew who run Jay and Silent Bob’s Secret Stash will be back October 14th at 11:30 PM on AMC. I’ve seen a rough cut of the season two premiere and I have to say it’s as funny and awesome as the first season. The episode deals with Ming’s idea to sponsor kids birthday parties inside the Secret Stash. As you can imagine with all of Ming’s ideas, hilarity ensues.

Today at Power-Con, the Masters of the Universe convention, Mattel made an announcement during their panel about releasing a new Castle Grayskull playset for Masters of the Universe Classics. It will be based on Mark Taylor’s original design (the vintage Castle Grayskull) and cost approximately $200. Mattel will be taking pre-Orders for it in the Fall on MattyCollector.com. A minimum number of pre-orders will be needed to for them to be able to actually go through with releasing it. As it stands right now, they had no resources to produce a 2 UP or prototype. It will just be the front of the castle (a facade) and include the moat as well. The preorder system will have to be based on the promise of there being a Castle Grayskull. This is something brand new and was just approved by management. More details to be revealed at New York Comic-Con next month. Castle Grayskull will not have electronics so they will be able to ship it Internationally as well.
There were also some new figures announced, thanks to an email going out to all MOTUC subscribers. Snake-Face, Karatti (from the New Adventures of He-Man) and Octavia (from the Princess of Power cartoon). There will also be a Masters of the Universe Art show coming to Toy Tokyo in New York City this October. There will be art on display and sale, and the proceeds will go to benefit the Ronald McDonald house.
