Toyfare 152 to Feature New DC Universe Classics, Marvel Universe, and Iron Man Figures

Toyfare #152 is the last issue to hit the stands before Toy Fair. As such, Mattel and Hasbro have saved up some of their big reveals for the issue, which is due in comic book stores next Wednesday. For those of you who can’t wait, a subscriber who received his issue early has given me some early intel of what’s between the covers.

DC Universe Classics – as they promised, Mattel has revealed an upcoming wave of figures.

: DC Universe Classics – Obsidian, Zatanna, Hourman, Gold, Alan Scott, Tyr, Ultra-Humanite, and Kamandi

I won’t be posting scans of Toyfare – c’mon – just pick up your own copy! 🙂 – but I have picked images that reflect what was described to me. With Obsidian, the Rex Tyler version of Hourman, and the Alan Scott Green Lantern, we’ve got some more Justice Society of America goodness coming our way, and fans of the classics will be glad to get Rex instead of Rick for Hourman. I think a lot of fans will be pleased that Zatanna is in her top hat, tails, and stockings, but I’m concerned about getting a repeat of Black Canary’s legs.

Gold continues the Metal Men, Kamandi brings us a Toy Guru favorite, and Tyr continues the unofficial Super Powers theme for this year. And, what can you say about a C&C Ultra-Humanite? Giant gorillas are awesome.

[Update – Mattel has confirmed that this will be a Wal-Mart exclusive wave. If it follows the pattern from the past Wal-Mart exclusives, the wave should not have any variant or chase figures.]

DC HeroClix The Brave and The Bold Update

The HeroClix team skipped the Blackest Night Starter Kit update today, but they did post a huge update for The Brave and the Bold. These figures, which will be available in April, look to be traditionally sculpted. They really highlight the differences in detail from a digitally sculpted figure, like Blackest Night.

DC Universe Classics Wave 12 Packaged Pics – Win a White Variant Mary Batson

My set of DC Universe Classics Wave 12 arrived the other day. For now, here’s some packaged pics of the entire wave minus the Spectre glow-in-the-dark chase variant. I’ve liked the packaging redesign since I first saw pictures of it, but having them in hand has made me appreciate it even more.

I noticed after taking the pictures that the trade paperbacks I used to prop my camera up are reflected in some of the package fronts. Oops!

So, as a little contest for a shot at my white-costumed variant Mary Batson, I’ll pick one winner at random from folks who leave a comment on this article that lists out the titles of the TPBs I used as a tripod-substitute. The eligible folks will be the ones who correctly identify the most titles (there’s four in total – 3 comic book TPBs and 1 manual), and I’ll cut off the entries when we post our Mattel coverage for Toy Fair.

Take a close look, add a comment with your guesses, and good luck. And while you’re at it, use the links below this article to subscribe to AFP!

Stay tuned for a closer look at wave 12, coming soon.

DC HeroClix Blackest Night Scarecrow

The HeroClix Blackest Night Starter Kit reveals continue with Scarecrow as a deputy of the Sinestro Corps. The detail on the new digital sculpts continues to impress.

Fear

Paging Dr. Crane. Paging Dr. Crane. Please report to the DC HeroClix Blackest Night Starter Game.

SCARECROW

Though his fear toxins gave him the ability to instill fear in nearly everyone, long exposure to the chemicals made the Scarecrow himself unable to feel terror–except when he was pursued by Batman. In the wake of the Dark Knight’s death, the Scarecrow was on the brink of despair–until in the Blackest Night the Scarecrow found a new purpose when he was given a yellow power ring and a place in the Sinestro Corps!

The DC HeroClix Blackest Night Starter Game will be in comic and hobby stores on May 12, 2010. The Starter Game includes everything you need to play HeroClix: seven HeroClix figures, the 2010 HeroClix Rulebook, a map (The Oan Sciencells) and more – reserve your copy at your local retailer!

DC HeroClix Blackest Night Lex Luthor

The Blackest Night Starter Kit reveals continue with Lex Luthor in his Orange Lantern power suit. MINE!

DC HeroClix Blackest Night Starter Game Lex Luthor redefines “power suit.”

LEX LUTHOR

Since childhood, Lex Luthor refused to let anything stand between him and what he desired. Though born to wealth and status, Luthor wanted always wanted more, building a path to power paved with suspicions, accusations, and corpses. In the Blackest Night, Luthor refused to aid past allies and strived only to save himself and what belonged to him–proving himself the perfect candidate for a greed-fueled orange power ring!

The DC HeroClix Blackest Night Starter Game will be in comic and hobby stores on May 12, 2010. The Starter Game includes everything you need to play HeroClix: seven HeroClix figures, the 2010 HeroClix Rulebook, a map (The Oan Sciencells) and more – reserve your copy at your local retailer!
