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.

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.

Despite the initial backlash, DC Comics has maintained a really steady following for their New 52 comic book titles. Even the fans who didn’t like the idea of the New 52 had to admit that at least some of the character redesigns were cool. Among the cool redesigns is Hawkman. In the New 52, Hawkman looks much more savage than he did in the previous continuity, especially in his armor. Since Mattel’s retail DC Comics Unlimited toy line will focus mainly on the New 52, naturally Hawkman was a perfect choice.
So join me as I take a closer look at the DC Comics Unlimited New 52 Hawkman figure and see if he’s worth the money.

It’s been a good year for DC fans. We got a great first year with Mattel’s DC Universe Signature Collection via Mattycollector, and we have two new lines at retail: DC Unlimited and Batman Unlimited. While the Signature Collection will focus on more fan demanded classic characters, both DC and Batman Unlimited will focus on the big guns, and not much else. These figures are, for the most part, New 52 inspired, which brings us to the figure we’ll be looking at today: New 52 Batgirl.
Last week I announced here that thanks to BigBadToyStore, we found what figures would be in series 03 of Mattel’s DC Unlimited toy line. For a recap, here are the characters appearing in series 03:
Well now, thanks to Comic & Figure Addicts, we now have images of prototypes for three of the figures: Aquaman, Superman, and Darkseid. For some reason there are no pictures of what the Injustice Joker figure will look like, but stay tuned here for any updates on that. As of right now, DC Unlimited wave 03 is set to be released in the second quarter of 2013. Continue after the jump for the hi-res images. Images courtesy of Toy News International.
Well Mattel didn’t officially announce it per se, but BigBadToyStore just put up pre-orders for all the figures in DC Unlimited series 3. There’s no pictures yet, but the figures for series 3 are:
Keep checking back here for updates as official photos come in. In the meantime, you can pre-order all of series 3 right now at BigBadToyStore.
Hey guys, just wanted to let you know about a review I just did for Toy News International. I took a look at the New 52 Darkseid figure from DC Collectibles. This guy is massive! Click here to read the full review. Thanks.
Head on over to Toy News International to check out my latest exclusive interviews for them. I take a look at the new Flash and Parademon New 52 figures released by DC Collectibles!
Haha, that’s right I have four new customs posted in the archive. I recently did a few quick Batman related customs and wanted to share them with you. They’re all repaints, but I feel they’re pretty nifty. Click the pictures to take you to their pages.
The first one is this custom DC Universe Penguin action figure, repainted in a completely black and white tuxedo. The next one is a Young Justice Robin action figure, repainted in Teen Titans cartoon colors as a mashup of the two designs. The third is a modern comics style DC Universe Batman. This exact version of Batman has never been done by Mattel and I never understood why. This is, in my opinion, THE version of Batman. And lastly, I leave you with a Nightwing in New 52 colors. He was a lot of fun to do, although it was also very frustrating ha ha. Click the link to his page to see what I mean.
Thanks for looking, and I hope you dig the new customs.
