For those of you who missed getting the exclusive Marvel Universe unmasked Dr. Doom with Infinity Gauntlet at New York Comic Con, Marvel is making him available at SDCC to new subscribers to their digital comics subscription.
If you are attending SDCC, you should be able to pick up your Doom if you sign up at the Marvel booth. Not at SDCC? No worries – you can also get Doom by subscribing online and mailing in a rebate form.
Some quick pics and a few words will have to suffice for the Marvel Universe Masters of Evil 3-pack – see, I am supposed to be packing for our annual pilgrimage to the Mecca of Geekdom – San Diego Comic-Con, and my wife is asking me why I’m rummaging through ziplocked bags of action figures and setting up camera equipment that should be secured for travel. The reason is that with our (Return of) Marvel Legends Uncanny X-Force 3-pack review in the books, I want to make sure you guys know that this Marvel Universe exclusive ain’t too shabby either.

Hot Toys has announced three “Toy Fairs” figures – Lt. Jim Gordon from the Dark Knight, Angelica from Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, and Captain America in the outfit in which he rescues the Howling Commandos. (Sorry if that’s still a spoiler to anyone out there – watch that movie already!)
According to the Sideshow “Toy Fairs” Facebook announcement, these figures will be exclusive to various shows around the world, and for the US, that means San Diego Comic-Con. Rescue Cap has been up for pre-order at Sideshow Toys for a few days, and Hot Toys says to stay tuned to Sideshow for more info on the other two. I wonder if Sideshow will have these for sale at the show – I’d be very tempted by that SWAT version of Gordon.
