Sideshow Reveals Exclusive Hot Toys Thor: The Dark World Light-Armored Figure

9021401-thor-asgardian-light-armor-005

The second version of Thor: the Dark World from Hot Toys is a Sideshow exclusive. With this exclusive version, you forgo the black poncho that comes with the regular version. But if you want Thor in his un-armored look, without the scale mail on his arms and torso, then this is the version for you. The Sideshow version also comes with a more detailed rock base, versus the plain base on the other one.

The Asgardian Light Armor version of Thor is available to pre-order exclusively from Sideshow. It’s $229.99, like the regular version, and is also due out in September next year.

Ready for a Long Halloween? Sideshow Collectibles 1/6 Scale Batman Available to Pre-Order

100090-batman-006

Sideshow Collectibles has just put up the classic comic book version Batman that they teased when they announced the 1/6 scale  comic book Catwoman last month. So far I’ve managed to resist her and the really awesome looking 1/6 scale Joker, but as more of these comic book figures get revealed my resolve weakens. Bats comes with long-eared and short-eared heads, interchangeable expressions, and a bunch of hands and weapons. The Sideshow exclusive version of Batman, for the same $199.99 price, also comes with a battle-damaged head.

And there’s also a tease of an upcoming figure in Sideshow’s pics – you may see a streak of a red cape in one of the shots. Guess it’s a good thing that Bats also comes with a Kryptonite ring. Could Superman be announced as early as next month?

3A Toys Real Steel Noisy Boy 01

I have not been buying 3A’s Real Steel fighting robots. I hadn’t seen the movie when the first figures were offered for pre-order, and while my wallet is thanking me, I’m feeling like I missed out a little. The latest offering, which will go up for pre-order right after the Halloween Hot-Foot, is my favorite design among all the bots – Noisy Boy. At $380, my wallet is thanking me again, but for those of you who get him, make a video of all those LED lights – all 500 of them!

Noisy Boy goes up for pre-order at 9PM EST on October 31.

Soapbox Sunday: Doomsday Unleashed vs Bound – By the Numbers (Yours)

Doomsday Unleashed vs Bound

Last week, I suggested that Mattel is making a mistake by choosing the “bound” or “jail-suit” version of Doomsday for its San Diego Comic-Con exclusive next year. To summarize, I put forth that most people would prefer the “unleashed” version of the monster that killed Superman, and that with 2014 being the swan song for DC Universe Classics, going out on a whimper would be a disappointment to fans and Mattel alike.

And then I put it to you and asked which Doomsday would you prefer. So far, a couple hundred of you voted, and I’ve taken a look at the results – are any surprises in store?
