Update: Unfortunatly, the video is being removed at the request of Marvel/Paramount from various sources. Please refer to our Thor discussion thread at our forums to see if a fellow Powet member has a link if the above video goes dead.

This trailer was apparently played in the SDCC 2010 panel for the Thor movie. We’ve updated with a better source.

This is a very long trailer. Titanic long. Enjoy! Thor release May 2011 with Chris Hemsworth in the lead role. Also prominently featured in this trailer is Clark Gregg as Agent Coulson of SHIELD.

Word had it that we would be seeing some of the first pictures of Masterpiece Rodimus Prime this weekend because it would be on display as an unpainted prototype at a large Transformers convention in China called Transformers CybertronCon. Sure enough, the convention is being setup right now and some helpful fans in attendance snapped some pictures. You can see those pictures and many more from the convention setup here. Check out that thread because there are some other neat things on display including a gold lucky draw Brave Maximus among other things.

As for Rodimus, the pictures of the robot look fantastic. The trailer is leaving me a little disappointed. I was really hoping they would do more with it than just make it bigger, but there isn’t much to go on just yet with these photos. We’ll know more as we get it.

  

UGO.com spent a little time with Avatar: The Last Airbender creators, Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko. They grilled them on some details about the upcoming Nickelodeon series. Here are some highlights from the article:

The show will be a mini-series with little to no filler episodes with the two creators writing each episode.
We will see Aang in the show, but it sounds like he won’t be alive, which shouldn’t be a surprise.
They are sticking to having only one avatar alive at a time (which is good because thats central to the mythos)
Aang’s son, Tenzin, will be in the show (We know this from the release, he’ll be the airbending teacher for Korra)
Katara is, indeed, the mother of Aang’s son.
Airbenders will be under persecution in a way.
The story will not center around a war, but a different type of conflict.
Cheesy teen romance? Check.

Thats about it. For the full article, you can go here.

UGO.com posted 4 new character one-sheets that sufficiently tease up for the upcoming Green Lantern movie.
Ryan Reynolds is Hal Jordan.
Blake Lively is Carol Farris.
Mark Strong is Sinestro.
Peter Saarsgaard is Hector Hammond.

   

There were lots of announcements on the DC front from Mattel. To see the full Mattypalooza panel that mostly focused on Ghostbusters, MOTU, and DC Universe, you can go here.

What was revealed at the panel for DC product in the Mattypalooza panel was almost entirely exclusive to MattyCollector.com.

Mattel held a separate panel just for DC Universe Classics and Green Lantern classics. You can watch the actual panel here and look below for highlights. I found it amusing that the first thing said in the DC Universe panel was that there would be more reveals in five minutes of this panel than there were in all the Hasbro panels. It makes me sad that he’s not far off the mark.

Continue on after the jump for more details.

Hasbro and Marvel held their panel for their various action figure lines and there were some surprises including a promise to return to Marvel Legends in a big way in 2012. I take back what I said in this post, but I hope we are back to full waves of single figures and not these 2-packs. Its certainly a way off, but any news is good news at this point.

In the meantime, lets look at some of the big reveals for everything else they had to talk about after the jump!

More images will be added as things are put in display cases and pictures of those start coming in.

Icon Heroes was present at SDCC to show off their new Thundercats line of mini-statues.
ActionFigurePics.com has a small gallery of what was on display from Preview Night. They had the Lion-O staction, both the SDCC Exclusive and regular version on display along with the new Thunderclaw vehicle staction. It comes with another Lion-O mini-statue as a driver and is in scale to the rest of the line, meaning it is quite large. I have included a size comaprison photo from the company’s site for reference with the Thunderclaw next to the regular release Lion-O 6 inch mini-statue. Also on display was a fully painted Jackalman staction and an unpainted prototype of Lynx-O. I like what I’m seeing from this line. Its unfortunate they were unable to obtain the actual toy license for this property instead of settling on a mini-statue license.
