SDCC 2015: Hot Toys – Star Wars, Marvel, and Terminator

One booth stop I must make every year at Comic-Con is Sideshow Collectibles, to see the Hot Toys they’ve got on display. But it’s a bit of an odd licensing vs. distribution conundrum this year, for all parties involved. Hot Toys has started cranking out the Star Wars figures, and Sideshow is their distributor in the States. But Sideshow has also held their own Star Wars license for longer than Hot Toys has. Coopetition?

Let’s see what Hot Toys has done in the short time they’ve held their Star Wars license, and see what else they’re up to.

SDCC 2015: Hasbro Reveals Marvel Legends Captain America, Mockingbird, and Taskmaster; plus More Pics [Updated]

Today Hasbro added three more figures in their display at San Diego Comic-Con – a classic Captain America, Mockingbird, and an armored Taskmaster. I’m not up on the latest for Tasky, but he looks cool in some armored pieces. Admittedly though, I’m still hoping for an UDON Taskmaster, and this will keep an official one out of my hands for a while more.

In addition, I’ve taken some other Marvel Legends pics that I haven’t posted yet – the Con exclusives and packaged samples of the umpcoming retailer exclusives. Excelsior!

I never realized just how many exclusives Funko produces each year for San Diego Comic-Con. They’re revealing them in batches, and we’ve collected the first week’s announcements here. They span their Dorbz, Hikari, Pop, ReAction, and Vinyl Idolz product lines, and covers their DC, Marvel, Disney, Hanna Barbera, Ghostbusters, Breaking Bad, and Dragonball Z licenses… just to name a few!

Unlike previous years, Funko is not offering the option to pre-order.

Border Patrol: Marvel Legends Captain America, Hulkbuster Iron Man, and Daredevil

For this edition of Border Patrol, we’re highlighting three iconic Marvel superheroes:

Marvel Legends Captain America by Shinobitron: This may be a simple kitbash using parts from the original Toy Biz Captain America with a more recent Cap re-release from Hasbro, but the clean paint job makes it exceptional. I am usually not a fan of that Hasbro body without the vest (see the original ML Drax) but with the Toy Biz head and gloves, it works well proportionally. Ends Sunday, May 24 at 7:57PM PST.
Marvel Legends Hulkbuster Iron Man by wilestbilame: The onslaught of Hulkbuster repaints using the Titan Heroes version has begun. This one is the first I’ve seen that shows another ML Iron Man (in this case Extremis) for scale – Hulkbuster is huge! Ends today at 8:14PM PST.
Here’s another ML Hulkbuster Iron Man that ends Thursday, May 21 at 5:17PM PST.
Marvel Legends Netflix Daredevil (red suit) by JLA: We’ve seen a few customs of the black suit (which I ended up preferring over this one), and now customizers have come up with recipes for the Gladiator-built suit revealed in the Netflix season 1 finale. Ends Wednesday, May 20 at 10:15PM PST.
Here’s another Netflix Daredevil that ends Thursday, May 21 at 4:56AM PST.

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