Win a Marvel Select Jane Foster and Thor Prototype from Diamond Select Toys

Gotta love the easy to enter contests from Diamond Select Toys, especially when it’s a cool prize like the Marvel Select Jane Foster and a Thor prototype from Thor: the Dark World. Remember, you’ve got to like the picture on Facebook (you can always share or like this article too – we don’t mind!) and email your address to DST.

I do like that the height difference between Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman are represented in the figures – although the proper comparison might be seen on this Graham Norton clip with the two Thor stars and their action figures. 😉

Border Patrol: Marvel Legends Superior Venom, DC Universe Classics Kyle Rayner and Red Hood

In our first installment of Border Patrol for 2014, we’ve got a Marvel variant that could definitely be made and two DC variants that should have been made.

  • Marvel Legends Superior Venom by glennwebman69 – if Hasbro could make a Marvel Legernds Superior Spider-Man (currently hitting shelves), then they should start thinking about making Superior Venom – after all, it’s the best thing to happen to our favorite symbiote in the comics, just like Superior Spider-Man was the best thing to happen to our favorite web-slinger – ends Jan 16, 2014 16:19:02 PST
  • DC Universe Classics Green Lantern Kyle Rayner by FUMan Studio – back when DC Universe Classics was going strong, Mattel released a Kyle Rayner figure that was pretty ok – it just wasn’t the iconic Rayner from when he was part of Grant Morrison’s JLA – this is a big hole in the line-up, especially since Mattel is releasing a hook-handed Aquaman in its last gasp of DCUC this year – ends Jan 11, 2014 06:00:43 PST
  • DC Universe Classics Red Hood Jason Todd by Mint Condition Customs – don’t get me wrong – I like Grant Morrison, but that doesn’t mean that every action figure made should be from his books – case in point, the Red Hood Mattel released in the Club Infinite Earths subscription was the one featured for just a couple of issues during Morrison’s recent Batman and Robin run – but pretty much everyone I know would have been happier with this version – ends Jan 12, 2014 19:11:12 PST

In AFP’s Border Patrol, we scour active eBay auctions for customized action figures that you won’t want to let slip by!

Hot Toys Reveals Iron Man 3 Starboost Mark XXXIX

Hot Toys Iron Man 3 Starboost Mark XXXIX 01

 

I love me some Hot Toys, but that House Party Protocol finale in Iron Man 3 is a double-edged sword. It’s very cool to have so many armors to make, but unless you’ve got Tony Stark’s bank, you won’t be able to Pokemon them all. I’ll be doing an Iron Man movie marathon pretty soon (the rules – no bathroom breaks – not as challenging as the Lord of the Rings marathon) so I’ll be checking out the scene for all the armors that I missed. Starboost is one of them.

You can pre-order the Hot Toys Iron Man 3 Starboost figure at Sideshow Collectibles. It’s got LED lights for the eyes, ARC reactor, and back thruster pack, plus the usual set of interchangeable hands. Yours for $269, arriving November this year. Not that I’ll ever tire of seeing new Iron Man armors, but hopefully by then we’ll see some figures from the next Marvel franchise – Guardians of the Galaxy.

Happy New Year! – Watch the Marvel Legends Wolverine Epic Split

Marvel Legends Wolverine Epic Split

Hope you had a great holiday. If you did any surfing over the past couple weeks, you probably encountered the Chuck Norris Epic Christmas Split, the interweb’s response to the Jean Claude Van Damme Epic Split commercial that was produced by Volvo.

Not to be outdone, the Marvel Legends Wolverine from Toy Biz one ups them both, with some help from a couple of Hasbro Sentinels from the Marvel Universe line. The video is from Reckless Abandonment Pictures, the guys who brought us some action figure stop motion videos for the openings of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and X-Men cartoons.

We’ll get back into the swing of things this week – in the meantime, enjoy the video!
