The Singapore Toy, Game, and Comic Convention is this weekend, August 31 – September 1, and Play Imaginative will be on site with its Super Alloy line of diecast figures that span both DC and Marvel. On the DC front, they’ll have both Superman and Batman from their New 52 Justice League 1/6 scale lineup for sale. And from Iron Man, they’ll have Iron Patriot and War Machine from Iron Man 3 in 1/6 scale – outside the US they’ve share rights for Iron Man in that scale with Hot Toys.

They’re also taking pre-orders for Green Lantern, some of their 1/4 scale Iron Man figures, and the 1/12 scale Mark 42. But new for this show are the Hammer Drones from Iron Man 2, in 1/12 scale. These will be up for pre-order for 115SGD, which is about $90, and are tagged as “event exclusives.” With all of the other Super Alloy figures, each event exclusive has been available for order with minor changes, so even if you can’t get to Singapore, you’ll probably be able to order the Hammer Drones through YesAnime, the US distributor for Play Imaginative.

Batman Arkham Origins Collectors Edition Exclusive Joker Statue

Speaking of Batman, the latest installment in the Arkham series of video games is coming. Batman: Arkham Origins Collector’s Edition is available to pre-order, and it will feature an exclusive statue of the Joker, complete with LED lighting effects. In addition, you’ll also get Deathstroke as a playable character with 2 skins and 2 bonus maps, a first appearance Batman skin, and a bunch of other cool items, including printed materials and bonus DVDs.

I had a blast playing Arkham Asylum, but never finished Arkham City. Are you guys going to pick up Origins?

The Dark Knight Returns: Stone Cold – BillsComics.com

Bill has shared his latest comic, The Dark Knight Returns: Stone Cold. It’s Batman versus Mr. Freeze, set during the Dark Knight Returns era. (I guess “Old Man Bruce” doesn’t quite have the same ring to it.) Be sure to check out more of his comics at Bill’s Comics.

Soapbox Sunday: I’m KILLIN THE LIEN (One out of Three Subs Ain’t Bad)

Last Chance to Subscribe - Club Eternia, Club Infinite Earths, Ecto-1 KILLIN THE LIEN

Yes, I’m a procrastinator. I haven’t submitted my pre-order for the Mattycollector subscriptions. But when I do, I’ll be one of the guys KILLIN THE LIEN. When it comes to Club Eternia, Club Infinite Earths, and the Ecto-1 pre-orders, I’ll be saying no to Ghostbusters and Masters of the Universe Classics, and giving a hesitant yes to DC Universe Classics.

When I started thinking about this post earlier in the week, I was planning on something a little different. The gist was going to be, “I’ve subbed for Masters and DC (note: I always knew I was going to pass on the Ecto-1), and now it’s up to you” – I’d present my rationale for my decisions. I wouldn’t tell you to sub too (I hate that), but rather ask you to consider how the subs line up with what you want and to make up your own minds.

For the past couple of days, I started to really put that into practice for myself. As someone on the bandwagon since the subscriptions started, it was the de facto choice to keep subbing. So I was pretty surprised to come to the decision to stop subscribing to Club Eternia.

Mattel Announces Damian Wayne Robin for Club Infinite Earths

In our last Ask Matty, we asked if Damian Wayne could be added to the Club Infinite Earths subscription. At that time, we got a tentative maybe. Looks like enough people asked – now it’s happening.

This should get a bump in the Club Infinite Earths sub – I don’t think Digital River is updating over the weekend, but I’ve put up the Matty Tracker for today anyways.
