SDCC 2015: Bif Bang Pow! Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, Star Trek IV Whales with Spock Exclusives

I thought about writing this post in the format of a Saturday Night Live: Weekend Update skit (Really!?! With Tina and Amy) and then reconsidered. It’d have started, “Really, Bif Bang Pow!?! A whale bobble-tail exclusive?” But then I realized there’s many reasons I write about action figures and not comedy.

Bif Bang Pow! revealed a pair of exclusives through Entertainment Earth. The first is a pair of 3.5-inch figures of Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, and their SNL: Weekend Update desk packaging. The second is a pair of whales from Star Trek IV, with bobble-tails and a swimming Mr. Speck – tiny Spock. (I know there’s comedy in there somewhere.)

If you’re not attending the big show, you can pre-order these Con-exclusives at Entertainment Earth.

Off Topic: Marvel and Samsung Team-Up for the Galaxy S6 Edge Iron Man Phone

Limited edition phone is exclusive to Asian markets

If you’ve been debating whether Tony Stark is an iPhone or Android guy, argue no more – he’s an Android guy. (At least for as long as those promotional dollars from Samsung are good.) It makes sense though, right? I mean, this is the guy who created the Iron Legion, Ultron, and the Vision… Androids. To prove the point, Samsung is releasing an Iron Man themed version of their flagship phone.

The Galaxy S6 edge Iron Man Limited Edition comes with a metallic red and gold color scheme, an Iron Man-themed interface, and an ARC reactor that doubles as a wireless charging station. The catch? For now, this phone will only be available in Korea (starting tomorrow) and China and Hong Kong (starting in June). I think the US would rather have a Hulk phone.

SDCC 2015 (and WebSwipe): DC Collectibles Announces Two Exclusives – USAToday.com

BlueLine Edition Batman and Krypto Plush will be available at SDCC

DC Collectibles announced two exclusives for San Diego Comic-Con via USA Today. For action figure fans, Jim Lee debuted a “BlueLine Edition” Batman, which he designed with a unique pencil deco. There will be two versions of the figure. The standard version ($40) will come with a Jim Lee Batman print on blueline paper. The limited version will be a run of 150 pieces and will feature a signed unique sketch from Lee. There’ll be fifty each of Batman, Harley Quinn, and the Joker – those will run you $300 each at the show and will likely go Bat-sh*t crazy in the after-market.

The second exclusive is a much more budget-friendly plush Krypto, for $9.99. Krypto is part of the 6-inch DC Super Pets plush line, which also includes Dex-Starr, Hoppy, and Streaky. I’m disappointed there’s no Ace the Bat-Hound yet.

SDCC 2015: Mattel Announces More Exclusives and New Pre-Order Voucher Dates

Adds Ever After High, Monster High, and DC / Thomas & Friends mashup exclusives

Mattel has announced three more Mattycollector exclusives for San Diego Comic-Con. While they’re not particularly appealing to me, the Monster High dolls have proven to be highly sought after, so the villain 2-pack and the Raven Queen from Ever After High should sell out quickly. The DC and Thomas and Friends mashup minis brings together two Mattel licenses that may appeal to a younger Con-goer. With the exception of the Con-exclusive Batman / Diesel, it looks like the rest are also headed to retail stores in the future.

With the latest announcements, Mattel also announced a date change for pre-order vouchers:

SDCC 2015: Two More Batman-Related Exclusives Coming from Mezco

Mez-Itz Poison Ivy announced and One:12 Collective Batman TDKR Mutant Leader teased

Mezco has continued to be busy leading up to San Diego Comic-Con, with two more exclusives revealed for the show. First, they announced a Mez-Itz mini clip-on Poison Ivy. She’s all killer attitude wrapped up in a cute vinyl package, suitable as a key chain or zipper pull, for $8.

Second, they’ve collaborated with Entertainment Earth to put out a teaser for the One:12 Collective Mutant Leader from Frank Miller’s Batman: The Dark Knight Returns. We’d seen the mutant leader in Mezco’s display at NY Comic Con, but had not heard till now when and where he would be released. Entertainment Earth teased the news in a wrap-up of Mezco’s summer exclusives.

Incidentally, that feature also revealed another Batman variant from One:12 Collective, to be released exclusively at the Puerto Rico Comic Con. That’s limited to 300 pieces – a killer for completionists on the line.
