DC Collectibles has released pics of its Earth 2 action figures and their upcoming statue commemorating Neil Gaiman’s return to Sandman. Call me old school, but I find a lot of the new Earth 2 designs hokey. Wonder Woman is the most appealing, with the cues to the Golden Age Wonder Woman, but Green Lantern and especially Flash look particularly silly.

If you’re not headed to NYCC, then you’ll get your chance at the StoreHorsemen.com. That is, if there’s stock left over from members of the Power Lords Fan Club, who will get first dibs when these go online – if you are into Power Lords, then the fan club is the best bet for getting your hands on the exclusives. So consider this fair warning – I would be surprised if the Four Horsemen extend another Power Lords exclusives pre-order, like they did after Power-Con.

Sideshow has a pretty cool social media contest going on for their 1/6 scale Joker – it normally goes for $189.99 and the Sideshow exclusive comes with a pair of Joker fish.
Each correct answer will give you a chance to win, plus Sideshow’s Susan will give you one chance just for entering – that’s up to 9 chances to win. Good luck!
I know everyone and their mothers have already seen the Breaking Bad series finale, but I’m just starting it on Netflix. And I just got to the episode that features Walter White in the green lab suit. This exclusive is already pre-sold out on the Mezco site, but I’ll try to pick one up at NYCC later this week.
Mezco presents Breaking Bad Walter White Green Hazmat Suit Edition, this much anticipated figure features Walter in his green suit as seen in the episode A No Rough Stuff Type Deal.
He comes complete with a fifty-five gallon chemical drum (not shown) and a trio of lab bottles.
The whole set is discreetly packaged in a collector-friendly window box package.
This Mezco Summer Exclusive is a Limited Edition of 500 pieces.
Normally, when I have some extra goodies available I’d put them up for a Free Stuff giveaway, because it’s a great way to generate publicity for AFP. I happen to have one of the exclusive Star Wars Black Series Boba Fett, with Han Solo in carbonite here. I was lucky enough to pick one up for myself at SDCC, but when I saw them available on HasbroToyShop, I put in an order for two more. The idea was that I’d be able to get them to get them to collectors that weren’t as lucky.
One of them went to SpyMagician from Spy Monkey Creations (check out their Weaponeers of Monkaa). The other was going to go to another friend, but he managed to pick one up on his own. And while I also had it available to trade for awhile, I decided, given the rarity of the figure, to try something different. So I have Boba Fett and his Han Solo paper weight up on eBay, with a portion of the proceeds going to Toys for Tots.
It’s up with a penny starting bid, no reserve, and free shipping (U.S. only – sorry, international fans). Toys for Tots will get 25% of the proceeds right from the closing price, set up directly through eBay. The way I’ve planned it, if it closes for around what they’re going for right now, then Toys for Tots will get little chunk of change, I’ll cover the cost of the figure and the shipping and eBay fees, and a collector will get a hard-to-find exclusive. Of course, it could also go horribly wrong – but even if it goes for cheap, it’ll still be in a collector’s hands, much like if I did a Free Stuff giveaway – so that wouldn’t be so bad either.
