Sideshow Lists Exclusive Evil Superman from Superman III

When Sideshow put the Star-Spangled Captain America and G.I. JOE’s Joe Colton up for pre-sale last week, I wondered what happened to the third of the Hot Toys “Toy Fairs” exclusives. I guess it wasn’t too far behind, because the Hot Toys Evil Superman from Superman III is now up for pre-order. Since Sideshow is the Hot Toys distributor in the US, I think they’ll be the only ones to carry this here.

It’s been so long since I’ve seen any of the Christopher Reeve Superman movies that I have pretty much no recollection of the third movie with Richard Pryor – I’m thinking that’s probably a good thing given its low ratings. But it’s probably time to watch them again.

CustomCon 35 Begins Today – Day One

It’s time for Summer CustomCon again! CustomCon 35 Day One is up, hosted by our good friend Joe Acevedo.

CustomCon is a fictional toy show, showcasing the work of action figure customizers. You won’t find these toys in your local toy store – at least not right away. I’ve heard from several toy makers that they often get inspiration from customs. So you never know! (Check out previous CustomCons and see for yourself.)

Day 1 features three entries: Young Justice Minimates, a Marvel Legends Fearsome Flyers 2-Pack, and Game of Thrones Busts. Enjoy!

Soapbox Sunday: How Much is Digital River to Blame for Mattycollector Fallout?

Get ready for a little rant – I just had another bad Mattycollector experience. This past Friday was Early Access. Normally it’s no big deal, offering the figures we’ve already subscribed for and customer service stock on a couple of other figures. But this time it was for some of Mattel’s San Diego Comic-Con exclusives.

Hurray for subscribing, right? Nope – leave it to Digital River to make it painful.

Movie Masters Man of Steel Superman in Black Suit and Jor-El in Stock on Amazon for $15.99

Last night I noticed that Amazon had the black-suited Superman from Mattel’s Movie Masters Man of Steel line in stock for $15.99. (Hint: if you like AFP’s Facebook page or follow the AFP Twitter account you got a special heads up last night.) Supes is still up this morning so I thought I’d make an official post about it.

Jor-El is also back in stock at the same price, and the regular Superman never left – thus negating any chance of a Superman Returns joke.
