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.

threeA Toys Action Portable Fighting JC on Sale 9/5 (Today!)

I know the 3A site says September 6, but that’s because that’s Hong Kong time. For those of us who are timezone challenged, the Fighting JCs in 1/12 go on sale starting at 9PM EST today.

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!

SDCC 2012: ThreeA Toys Display Case Pics

Because of space and cost constraints, most of my 3A Toys collection is limited to 1/12 scale – but seeing all this 1/6 goodness grouped up in two display cases makes me wish I had a mansion and a bank account to match. The big news for 1/12 guys were the trio of Tomorrow Queens in that scale. Awesome to eventually get some females in 1/12, but I still want a Fighting JC.

ThreeA Toys Fighting JC and Fantome de Plume Coming to 1/12 Scale… Eventually

I’m a big fan of 3A Toys, but 1/6 scale is the default, and that’s space and cost prohibitive for a guy like me. Fighting JC is one of my most wanted, and I’m psyched for his eventually release in 1/12 through the Action Portable line. These pics come from Ashley Wood’s Instagram account, but I am a newb and can’t seem to find it in Instagram’s search. No official date when these will be coming – I’ll be waiting for a divine message.

ThreeA Toys – The Yellow Hornets Action Portable Four-Pack

Sweet! Here are shots of ThreeA’s The Yellow Hornets, which is the mass release equivalent of the very limited SDCC 2011 Exclusive TK Unleashed set (which had red track suits). I was very happy that ThreeA offered this set after the Con, as I missed out on the TK Unleashed set.
