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.
What you expect that to cost? What if I told you it’s going to cost $99.99! It might seem steep to some, but considering everything this comes with, I personally think it’s a great deal. And like with previous G.I. Joe/Transformers crossover sets, the packaging on this one pays homage to the old G.I. Joe/Transformers crossover mini-series that was released by Marvel in the 80s.

USA Today got the exclusive for this, so thanks to them for breaking the story. We now have a fantastic look at the fully revealed 2013 San Diego Comic-Con exclusive Star Wars the Black Series Boba Fett with Han Solo in carbonite. It will be sold at the Hasbro booth at San Diego Comic Con from July 18th to 21st, and it will cost $44.99. Yeah, I know, that’s a pretty big price for a 6″ figure, even with all the accessories he comes with, and considering the retail figures will only cost about $20.
And speaking of, now is a good time to point out that Boba Fett himself is not the exclusive. Before fans get up in arms, there will be a retail version of Boba Fett released in the 6″ scale in The Black Series. The part that makes this set unique and exclusive is that picking him up at 2013 San Diego Comic-Con is the only way to get Han Solo in carbonite. I know what you’re gonna say “that still sucks!”, and I completely agree. But I’m sure he’ll be available after the show on Hasbro Toy Shop, but who knows how easy it will be to get him. Anyway, I digress.

Thanks to io9 for getting this exclusive and breaking the news, but yes you read right, Hasbro is releasing a 6″ movie figure of Sir Ben Kingsley as The Mandarin from Iron Man 3! The figure is set to release this Fall, as part of the Iron Man Legends series currently put out by Hasbro. It’s the same series in the Iron Monger Build-A-Figure line, though since when this figure gets released all the pieces to build Iron Monger will have already been put out, I don’t know if he’ll come with a BAF piece or what they’re planning to do. Stay tuned here for any updates on that.
You can buy all the current Iron Man Legends figures (sans The Mandarin) at BigBadToyStore right now!

Hey everybody! I have a new video review up on Youtube. Today, I take a close look at the G.I. Joe Retaliation Battle Kata Roadblock action figure from Hasbro. I don’t plan on doing only video reviews, it just keeps working out that way recently. If you still need to purchase this figure, it’s currently for sale on BigBadToyStore right now!
Anyway, I’m excited about it, because I think I’ve finally worked through the kinks to deliver a really nice HD video. It definitely feels awesome to be working on “movies” again, and working out my editing muscles.

Yesterday I posted about a rumor floating around regarding a line of 6″ Star Wars figures Hasbro was planning. Thankfully the internet Gods saw fit not to make me look like an idiot, and today it was revealed officially by Hasbro in an article on USAToday that they are indeed planning a line of 6″ Star Wars action figures called Star Wars Black Series. The line is set to have very detailed sculpts, and loads of articulation, close to the amount packed into current Marvel Legends from the looks of it.
