Four Horsemen Announce New York Comic Con Exclusive Outer Space Men

Four Horsemen Beta Phase White Star Outer Space Men NYCC 2013 Exclusive

It wouldn’t be New York Comic Con without a Four Horsemen exclusive – and this time it’s a white and translucent blue deco for the Beta Phase / White Star edition of the Outer Space Men.

With sets of three figures for $35 and individual figures at $11 or $16 (depending on size), the Four Horsemen are testing the waters for lower price points. I wonder if that also means these will be made in higher quantities than the 200 sets of 8 White Star edition figures that ActionFigureXpress had available for San Diego Comic-Con this year – but they’ve said limited quantities for both the show and after, when they sell them on StoreHorsemen.

Play Imaginative Shares More Pics of the Super Alloy Iron Man 2 Hammer Drones

Play Imaginative Super Alloy Iron Man 2 Hammer Drones 1

Are you interested in 1/12 scale diecast Iron Man figures? Play Imaginative has just posted more pics of their Super Alloy Hammer Drones from Iron Man 2.

Although I haven’t seen specs yet, these should be upwards of 80% diecast with articulation up the wazoo, and be priced around $100 and change. Yeah, I know – that’s tough for army builders, but there’s always the lottery!

Hasbro Releases Linkin Park Special Edition Transformers G1 Soundwave Exclusive

Linkin Park Soundwave Package 3 Linkin Park Soundwave Robot Mode

Almost a decade ago, U2 let Apple put its name on a special edition iPod, sparking the co-mingling of rock and roll with product sales. As much as the U2 iPod was largely superficial, today’s news certainly has more than meets the eye – Hasbro is releasing a special edition Transformers Soundwave with Linkin Park. Besides Linkin Park having several songs on the soundtracks of the Transformers movies, their Joe Hahn also happens to be a fan and collector of the Transformers action figures.

The Linkin Park special edition Soundwave has a unique gold deco from the G1 mold. It includes Ravage, Lazerbeak, Buzzsaw and Ratbat which transform into microcassettes that fit within Soundwave’s tape compartment. The Soundwave set is $150, exclusively from Suru in Los Angeles, through October 3, or while supplies last.

Sunday Soapbox: Help Me! – I’m Thinking About Second-Chance Subbing to Club Eternia

Club Eternia Second Chance Subs

By the time August 19th had rolled around, I had already decided. No Club Eternia and no Club Ecto-1 – it was just the DC Club Infinite Earths for me. Now it’s a month later, the DC subscription is dead, and I am seriously mulling over taking the second chance to subscribe to Club Eternia, since Mattel has re-opened the Club Eternia sub through September 24.

So what’s changed?

Become an Agent of SHIELD with this New York Comic Con Exclusive Badge and ID Card

SHIELD Badge & ID Badge

Although I fancy myself more of a HYDRA type guy, I may pick up one of these NYCC exclusive SHIELD badges just in case I need to bluff my way onto the Helicarrier. You can pre-order the Phil Coulson SHIELD badge (made of metal and molded from the ones used on the upcoming TV series)  and ID card from EFX Collectibles and pick it up at NYCC. Or, if you aren’t going, they’ll ship it to you.

But for those going to the show, you can get a bonus – a personalized SHIELD ID card with your picture and vitals. The exclusive is $50 (whether you get the personalized ID or not) and is limited to 1,500 pieces. Pre-orders opened yesterday, so be sure to get your order in soon, if you want to be an Agent of SHIELD.
