This was revealed at the 2013 San Diego Comic-Con at the Bluefin Tamashii USA booth. It looks like yes, we will be getting a line of S.H. Figuarts Injustice Gods Among Us figures, and that is incredibly awesome. I’ve been saying for years that DC needs some S.H. Figuarts figures, and while this line isn’t for general DC, it’s still pretty awesome.
Mattycollector posted a note on their Facebook page with some great information regarding their Mattel/DC Comics panel coming this week at the 2013 San Diego Comic-Con! If you’re planning to go to SDCC this year, and you’re a DC and/or Mattel fan, you might want to check it out.

It’s the week of 2013 San Diego Comic-Con, so you know there’s going to be a slew of new toy news bombarding the interwebs all this week. With that said, DC Collectibles has unveiled a ton of new action figures and statues due to come out next year. Among them are figures based on Greg Capullo’s art style in the current Batman run, and something I’m very much looking forward to: Arrow TV series action figures! That’s right, something fans have been wanting since the show first aired is now coming true. We’re getting a two-pack of Arrow and Deathstroke based on their looks from the TV series in a 6.75″ scale. And there’s lots more cool stuff coming your way from DC Collectibles.

It’s been rumored for a while now, ever since a mysterious listing showed up on Amazon describing a Man of Steel Movie Masters Superman figure in a black suit. Recently though, Mattel has denied there was an eighth Man of Steel Movie Masters figure in the last Ask Mattel Q&A session, making this reveal all the more bizarre. But yes, it seems official that there will be a Superman figure released in his black suit. The listing showed up on the Mattel Shop website as a pre order due out in July.

Some great new things for Injustice Gods Among Us were revealed today. We get a full fight trailer for the upcoming DLC character General Zod. Originally he was revealed on an episode of Conan, but now we get an uninterrupted look at how he plays. I must say, I think it’s incredible just how different they made him from Superman. In addition to the Zod trailer reveal, it’s been announced that the same day Zod goes on sale we will also be getting a Man of Steel Superman skin!

I’ve always thought that the DC Universe Classics toy line had one of the most large and diverse character selections of any action figure line ever, excluding Minimates. Sure, there were a few variants of the big two sprinkled here and there, but it was mostly full of unique, sometimes wildly obscure characters (Omac? Jemm? Kamandi???). While that was fantastic for collectors, it seemed to ultimately be what drove sales down and sent the toy line into the online exclusive DC Universe Signature Collection through Club Infinite Earths on Mattycollector. When that toy line began, it was with the understanding that it would be the best avenue to get the most wanted, obscure characters out to collectors to help us flesh out our own DC universe. Still, I can’t help feeling that there are some areas of the DC Universe that Mattel will never get the chance to, or just doesn’t want to, touch.
So what I’ve done here is I’ve assembled what I consider to be the 10 most obscure DC comics characters that will most likely never get an action figure in Club Infinite Earths. My criteria for deciding these came down to researching forums to see which characters got suggested the least (or not at all), and which of them I would actually want to see made into action figures. I’ll even suggest possible accessories where applicable. And just so you know before reading, yes these are all 100% characters that I would buy figures of in a heartbeat. You might not agree that every character on this list deserves a figure, and that’s totally cool. But hopefully you at least get a kick out of the list assembled here, and maybe even learn something about some of the most obscure DC characters out there. So let’s start!

The third DLC character for the hit video game Injustice: Gods Among Us was revealed to be Scorpion, from Mortal Kombat. A lot of fans were expecting him to be a DLC character, though a lot of those same fans were dreading it. At any rate, we find out that Scorpion was redesigned by comic book legend Jim Lee just for this game. And when Scorpion is released, a compatibility pack will be automatically added to your copy of Injustice so even if you don’t have the character, you can still fight online against people who do. And with this compatibility pack you’ll be getting a free Blackest Night Superman alternate skin! Whatever your feelings on Scorpion being included in Injustice: Gods Among Us, definitely check out the full fight trailer. And the very end of the video looks to be a tease at the next DLC character for the game! Who is it? Keep reading to find out!

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.
