I’ll try to make it as comprehensive as a I can, and I will be elaborating on some particular figures that I am very excited for. I’ll update the list as the news and photos come in. Please, join in the discussion.

Fans of the smash-hit TV series Smallville haven’t had much to cheer about since the show ended its critically acclaimed 10-year run on The CW last May.

Miller, the new digital first series will be published digitally on April 13, 2012, with new digital chapters released weekly thereafter. Additionally, the online chapters will be offered in a print periodical, along with an episode guide to the hit television series, with the first print issue released on May 16.

Last week I posted several images from the UK Toy Fair showing off Hasbro’s Avengers toys. Included in that was the Hellicarrier. The image was very small and could hardly be made out. But now, it seems as if IGN has gotten a hold of a hi-res image of Hasbro’s upcoming 3ft long S.H.I.E.L.D. Hellicarrier for their Avengers movie toy line. It comes with a Captain America figure and features 4 firing projectile deck cannons. Still no word on price but that should hopefully be revealed next weekend during the New York Toy Fair.
