Hasbro seems to really have a fun lineup of exclusive figures for all kinds of collectors this year. We saw a bunch yesterday for the 6″ collector, but fret not 3 3/4″ collectors, Hasbro has you covered as well. Today, via 
Among all of Hasbro’s 2013 SDCC exclusive reveals today is their latest G.I. Joe/Transformers crossover set. And this year’s is a doozy! This years set features a repainted G.I. Joe V.A.M.P. Jeep made to look like the Autobot Hound and a Skystriker repainted to look like Autobot Jetfire. The set also includes figures of Snake-Eyes with an Autobot logo on his chest, the Baroness with Ravage (complete with chain around his neck for her to hold on to), Decepticon Buldgeon reimagined as a robotic Samurai warrior (3.75″), and Blaster with cassettes in boombox form. Wow! Talk about one heck of a set.
Ever since the Arkham City toy line was announced, fans have clamored for a figure of Hugo Strange. He’s the penultimate villain of the game (mostly), so I would think he deserves a figure. Well it seems DC Collectibles agrees, and they’re releasing him as a 2013 San Diego Comic-Con exclusive. This may cause some fans to groan, since it’s not always the easiest thing to get a hold of SDCC exclusives if you don’t go to the show, but I’m sure the figure will find its way to fans that want it. This is definitely better than them not releasing the figure at all, and I can understand the decision to make Hugo Strange a 2013 San Diego Comic-Con exclusive.
Now this is a cool bit of news. Finishing up Mattel’s week long 2013 San Diego Comic-Con reveals, we conclude with something a lot of fans might find familiar. Mattel is releasing a 2 pack of stylized mini figures of He-Man and Skeletor, based on their designs from the iPhone game that came out last year. Fans will notice that these figures look very reminiscent of the “Mini Masters” that the Four Horsemen sculpted and had presented on display at conventions this past year. They were never something Mattel was going to for sure release, just one of those things the Four Horsemen love doing on their own to gauge interest.
Continuing the 2013 San Diego Comic-Con reveals this week from Mattel, we now have the latest one: New 52 Shazam, for the DC Club Infinite Earths. This won’t be in the subscription at all, and will only be available for sale at 2013 San Diego Comic-con, and then later on Mattycollector.com. Well I have to say, this is a surprise. For those expecting Granny Goodness, a new Doomsday, or even Sgt. Rock, you might be disappointed in this reveal. For those excited about the New 52, this may be for you.
