Kickstarter Monday: Last Day to Pre-Order Mythic Legions

Mythic Legions pre-order

The Four Horsemen’s Mythic Legions project ended its funding period with just over $450K pledged, making it the most funded action figure on Kickstarter yet. But even though the Kickstarter project is closed, the Four Horsemen have had a pre-order for Mythic Legions available on StoreHorsemen.com – but that opportunity is closing up today at 3PM EST.

While some figures will eventually be available after the production run is complete, this will be your last chance to pre-order exactly what you want. So if you missed out on the initial campaign, or are looking to supplement your order with more Mythic Legions, head over to StoreHorsemen.com right now. Happy shopping!

SDCC 2015: Mezco Announces Pair of Breaking Bad Exclusives

Pre-orders for 12-inch Heisenberg and 6-inch Saul Goodman open Friday, May 15

Mezco SDCC 2015 exclusive Breaking Bad Saul Goodman and Heisenberg

Mezco has announced two more exclusives for San Diego Comic-Con 2015 – a pair of Breaking Bad figures. Saul Goodman gets a repaint and his packaging will serve as a diorama of his office – gotta love those Corinthian columns and the U.S. Constitution mural! Walter White, aka Heisenberg, gets the 12-inch treatment with a new deco – a black jacket and blue shirt. Heisenberg features a removable hat and interchangeable glasses and sunglasses.

Pre-orders go live on Friday, May 15. The 6-inch SDCC exclusive Saul Goodman will set you back $30, while the 12-inch SDCC exclusive Heisenberg will set you back $40. That’s cheap, compared to a Blue Sky addiction!

SDCC 2015: Mezco Toyz Reveals Mortal Kombat X Sub-Zero Exclusive

Pre-orders for 6-inch Sub-Zero Ice Clone start May 12

Mezco Mortal Kombat X Sub-Zero Ice Clone exclusive 1

Mezco has revealed the first of its exclusives for San Diego Comic-Con, the Sub-Zero ice clone from Mortal Kombat X. Recreated in 3D using the digital assets from the Mortal Kombat X video game and produced in translucent ice blue, this limited edition Sub-Zero will fit in great with the rest of the upcoming Mortal Kombat X figures from Mezco.

I am pretty sure this will be a much better Con exclusive than the Sub Zero I picked up from Jazwares many years ago. I remember opening that sucker up right on the show floor, only for its head to fall off. I put it back in the box and never opened it again. That one hurt.

But that’s another era and another licensor – I’ve liked what I’ve seen from Mezco on this line thus far. But what I’m really waiting for is for some One:12 Collective goodness to be announced. It has begun!

SDCC 2015: Mattel Reveals First Con Exclusives for Ghostbusters and Masters of the Universe Classics

Pre-orders for Courtroom Battle Egon, Rotar vs Twistoid, and Hover Robots start 5/28

Mattel SDCC 2015 Exclusives - Ghostbusters Egon, Masters of the Univers Classics Rotar vs Twistoid and Hover Robots

The gang at Mattycollector has started their reveals for San Diego Comic-Con. I am a little surprised that first out of the gate is the Courtroom Battle Egon Spengler from Ghostbusters – it’s been a few years since the courtroom versions of Venkman (2011) and Stantz (2012) were released with the Scoleri brothers, so it might be a tough sell except for the Ghostbuster fans who must complete that trio. I think the suit coloring is a little light, but might make for some better contrast with the other two.

From Masters of the Universe Classics comes the Rotar vs Twistoid 2-pack, which harkens back to Rokkon and Stonedar from two years ago – let’s see if there’s some price creep from the $60 those cost. And we’ll also see the return of the Hover Robots 3-pack, which is the traveling convention exclusive. Somehow I suspect that will be the toughest of the three exclusives to get.

Mattel will use the same system as last year, with pick-up at the show nearby the Convention Center. The pre-order vouchers will go up for sale May 28 for Early Access, and June 1 for All Access.

Stay tuned for more reveals. What do you think they’ll have for DC Comics exclusives this year?

Weekend Toy Run: Marvel Shop Free Shipping and Hulkbuster Pre-Order

Free shipping promo ends today; Hulkbuster ships July 1

Marvel Shop free shipping and Marvel Select Hulkbuster Iron Man

With all the Avengers: Age of Ultron hype this weekend I somehow missed that the official Marvel shop is running a free shipping promotion and that they have the new Marvel Select Hulkbuster Iron Man up for pre-order. To qualify for free shipping, just use code “ULTRON” while checking out – don’t worry, you won’t be unleashing a mad robot intent on the destruction of the human race. The free shipping promo ends today.

And if you’ve got a Hulk problem in your action figure collection, then pre-order the Marvel Select Hulkbuster Iron Man, exclusive to the Marvel Shop and Disney Stores. Diamond Select Toys says it’s “inspired by Iron Man’s appearance in Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron” but we know this bad boy is straight out of the comics. Long-time collectors may remember the Hulkbuster that came with the Toy Biz Marvel Legends Legendary Riders wave – I loved that Iron Man, but this update looks a lot less like a toy, and much more like a kick-ass suit of armor.
