Is NECA Owning 1/4 Scale? Reveals Man of Steel Superman Figure

We just saw the tweaks NECA is making to their 18-inch Adam West Batman, and they’ve now released a preview of their upcoming quarter scale Henry Cavill Superman from Man of Steel. While I’m not as taken with the likeness on this figure as I am with the one on Mattel’s Man of Steel Movie Masters, nevertheless I am thoroughly impressed with the rest of the sculpt and the amount of articulation (30+ points!) we’re seeing in a figure this size. (Click on the image for the full view.)

I imagine that this figure will see tweaks, just like the Adam West Batman did, so I’m not too concerned about the likeness at this point. NECA says this massive 18-inch+ Man of Steel figure is due out in July.

NECA Teases Upgrades to the Quarter Scale Adam West Batman – Burt Ward Robin in the Works?

NECA teased some upgrades to the 18-inch Adam West Batman that already looked impressive when we saw it at Toy Fair. In addition to some tweaks to the head sculpt, it looks like Bats will come with Batusi hands and fists. And could it be? Is that a Burt Ward Robin head sculpt at his feet? Also, you’ve gotta love the kitbashes the guys in the studio have come up with. (Click on the image for the full view.)

Since Toy Fair we refined the head & added multiple pairs of hands. Super poseable too. Check this out & enjoy – Adam West

Mattel Announces San Diego Comic-Con Exclusive DC Universe Club Infinite Earths New 52 Shazam

I’m not quite sure why Mattel went with the “Club Infinite Earths” moniker for their second DC Universe exclusive for this year’s San Diego Comic-Con (the first being the Man of Steel: Superman vs. General Zod 2-pack). Since Club Infinite Earths is the MattyCollector subscription that is targeted for the more obscure collector-oriented choices, it seems like this New 52 Shazam exclusive would fit better with the DC Unlimited branding that has focused on the New 52 and the Injustice video game more than anything else. Mattel had the copyright issue with the Captain Marvel name when they released his classic comic look in the DC Universe Classics line. I haven’t read any New 52 with Shazam in it – is Shazam his name in the comics now, or is Mattel still towing that copyright line?

The second exclusive announced today was the Hot Wheels Atari Beach Bomb with an old school Asteroids deco. It comes in packaging that looks like an old video game cabinet. I miss the 80’s!

DCU Club Infinite Earths “Shazam!” New 52

Sculpted by the Four Horsemen, this is the first ever figure of the New 52 Billy Batson, the boy turned DC Super Hero known as “Shazam!” Not included with club subscriptions, this figure arrives with a removable hood in Club Infinite Earths die cut packaging with distinctive silver foil. The perfect addition to your DCU collection!

This product will be available for pre-order at MattyCollector.com on June 4, 2013, to be picked up at San Diego Comic-Con (details to come). It will also be available for purchase at the show, then at MattyCollector.com on August 5, 2013.

New Mattel Superman: Man of Steel Figures Revealed – BigBadToyStore

Online retailer BigBadToyStore has listed new Superman: Man of Steel Movie Masters figures from Mattel, revealing a new character and two variants for the line-up. Included in the assortment are Faora, an armored General Zod, and Superman with chains and key. I purposefully have not been following the movie news, but was a bit surprised that the new character wasn’t Ursa. I’m not that knowledgeable when it comes to Superman lore, and don’t have any recollection of a character named Faora from the comics or the previous movies – but I’m not going to Google her now, for risk of spoiling myself for the movie that opens June 14th.

It’s not clear whether this is a second wave of figures or if these will ship with the Man of Steel figures previously shown – BBTS has them listed all with a 2nd quarter ship date.

Mattel Announces San Diego Comic-Con Exclusive DC Universe Man of Steel 2-Pack

During SDCC last year, where we saw an 8-inch Death and a Bruce Wayne to Batman figures, Mattel’s DC team hinted that they would return to figures with more mass appeal for the big show this year. Looks like they are making good with the DC exclusive they announced today – a Superman vs. Zod 2-pack from Man of Steel.

Not much in the way of pics, which will be revealed closer to the show, but I expect that we’ll see some deco variants on the Man of Steel Superman and General Zod figures that were revealed near the start of the year. Maybe some heat vision eyes on Supes? How about some battle damage? Could be anything at this point, but I’m looking forward to it.

Also revealed today, a Hot Wheels Battlestar Galactica Colonial Viper, to accompany the Cylon Raider announced yesterday. Good stuff!

DC Man of Steel™ Movie Masters® Superman™ vs. General Zod Movie Pack

This 2-pack brings to life the super charged battle between two powerful Kryptonians, Superman™ and the General Zod, an exciting diorama set in the city of Metropolis! The package features lights that simulate Superman’s Heat Ray vision, and shows off the Kryptonian’s super strength and flying ability. The diorama is completed with sound effects to help bring the scene to life. Full image will be available on 6/17.

This product will be available for pre-order at MattyCollector.com on June 4, 2013, to be picked up at San Diego Comic-Con (details to come). It will also be available for purchase at the show, then at MattyCollector.com on August 5, 2013.
