SuperHeroTimes has some nice pics up of the Icons wave 2 figures along with the variants. I have mirrored the images below. Wave 2 includes Venom and the Incredible Hulk. The variants are Grey Hulk and unmasked Venom. The wave has recently had many sightings so keep an eye out! I saw the Grey Hulk last week.
You may remember me posting a piece of news that the Four Horsemen were offering a seventh minotaur from their 7th Kingdom FANTastic Exclusive series. After just 78 hours of being available for pre-order the seventh exclusive minotaur, the Mynothecean Royal Guardsman, has sold out. That didn’t take long. The figure was limited to 250 pieces.
It was also stated that the previous six minotuars will be shipping in the next few weeks and everyone who ordered any should keep an eye out. I should be getting a set of 6 that you can look forward to getting a glimpse of in a future PowetToys episode. I, unfortunately forgot about the Royal Guardsman’s preorder and missed out, as I’m sure many others did as well.
Ben Yee has put up a few reviews of the upcoming Classics figures, which includes pictures as well. Hit the link below to check out Prime, Bumblebee, Rodimus and Astrotrain.
Over the summer 70 seperate snippets of video were released to HansoExposed, threatening to reveal the intentions and history of the mysterious Alvar Hanso, the unseen catalyst for many of of the events on the TV series LOST.
Here is the complete video, dutifully reconstructed. I might mention the potential for story spoilers here, but since the intent was to give hardcore fans something to do in the nearly 5 months the show is off the air between the May finale and the October 4 return, I’ll bet you’ll watch it anyway.
Side note: Have a look at this adorable Hurley action figure that showed up on TNI this week. Actor Jorge Garcia had his face scanned so its a perfect likeness, and he’s holding up the flag from the golf course he made in the first season.
Too bad its a Mcfarlane figure and will likely crumble to peices if I purchased it. You can take a look at the entire first series, that includes first episode Jack, the Hatch playset, and bad-ass survivalist Locke. The most accurate toy of the bunch goes to Shannon since shes as worthless in plastic as she is on screen!
In an update to an entry I previously made, an eBay auction has surfaced which shows of the beast mode to this new Alternator. Check out the link below and the mirrored pics.
Popbox Collectibles is putting together a line of statues that link together at their base and form a diarama. The line will be made exclusively for the asian market. It supposedly features major players in the Civil War conflict currently playing out in the Marvel Universe. I say supposedly because the first wave is compromised of almost noone from the actual storyline. You can see the line ups below. Wave 1 is slated for October and Wave 2 is slated for December of this year. Pictures are below.
Wave 1:
Wolverine (old yellow costume, not Astonishing X-Men outfit)
