Best Week Ever (the Toy Version) and the Spread Good Karma Giveaway

I’ve had a really good week (or so) for toys. It started on our anniversary – as a gift, my wife got me the Wal-Mart exclusive Avengers Hulk that has been eluding me for some time. And she didn’t even blink when I told her that I was planning to Frankenstein him with some other Hulks to make the best Hulk ever (maybe some day). And it’s kept going since then:

  • Hasbro Return of Marvel Legends – BigBadToyStore let me know that my pre-order of Wave 3 was in.
  • 3A Toys Action Portable – My most-anticipated figure, the Fighting JC, was announced in 1/12 scale, and on order day I also scored an AP blue-suited Zomb for a great price on eBay and the secret Dark Sarge Zomb on bambalandstore.com, right as the JC sale was closing up.
  • Hot Toys The Dark Knight – I missed out on the pre-order window for the SWAT version of Jim Gordon, but Sideshow just let me know that they found one for me (I had put myself on the wait list).

With all this good stuff happening to me (aside from now being completely broke :)), I figured I should spread the good toy karma around with a Free Stuff giveaway. Here’s what’s up for grabs and how to get up to three chances to win.

I have waited a long time for the Fighting JC to make it to the Action Portable scale, so I am all in! Don’t miss out!

Play Imaginative Super Alloy Batman is Coming to America

The fity points of articulation, Jim Lee-based, 1/6 scale Batman that I have been salivating over is on its way to the US via BigBadToyStore. The specs look identical to the one being offered as an exclusive at the Singapore Toy, Games & Comic Convention in early September, with the exception that this version has a matte finish, while the exclusive will be glossy. At 18.2 lbs. shipping, I can believe this behemoth is 85% die-cast metal.

You can pre-order the matte version of the Super Alloy Batman at BigBadToyStore for $269.99, due to arrive in September.

It’s taking every ounce of my great power to do right by my great responsibility, and not call this box of Spider-Man toys “amazing.” So let me just say that one lucky Spider-fan will get this very cool promo box of toys from our pals at Hasbro. That’s right – it’s another Free Stuff giveaway, and just in time for the opening of The Amazing Spider-Man movie (July 3). Inside, you’ll find a couple of electronic role play items (Spidey mask and glove), a larger scale electronic Spidey, and Spidey and Lizard from the 3.75-inch line.
