Hot Toys Announces Limited Edition Battle Damaged Iron Man Mark VII

To further capitalize on the upcoming Iron Man 3 movie launch (opens in the US on May 3), Hot Toys is releasing a limited battle-damaged version of the Avengers Iron Man Mark VII armor.

In addition to the battle damage on the armor, this figure will also feature a new RDJ head sculpt. It’s unclear how this will be released beyond the initial 800 figures in Hong Kong, but I imagine Sideshow Toys will get an allotment, as they have with previous Hot Toys limited releases. If you’re interested, I’d suggest you scoop up a pre-order as soon as you see it.

Star Wars Prequel Trilogy Haters Beware – Jar Jar Binks MIMOBOT a Reality

SW_JarJarBinks_LTDED_MIMOBOT

Last year, Mimoco yanked the chains of Star Wars prequel trilogy haters by announcing the Jar Jar Binks MIMOBOT USB flash drive – as an April Fool’s Day joke. Fast forward to this year’s April Fool’s – prequel haters brace yourself – they’re really doing it. The Jar Jar Binks MIMOBOT is available on the Mimoco website in limited quantities – 500 to be precise.

The joke now is that some hardcore Star Wars collectors may find themselves in a quandary that would challenge even Yoda: pick up what is sure to be an extremely limited exclusive for their collections, or skip the most hated character in the Star Wars universe. To help you say no, if you get Jar Jar and install the accompanying software, you’ll get a dose of Jar Jar Binks sound bites every time you plug him into your computer. Yousa people gonna die.

Masters of the Universe Classics Club Eternia – Map of Subternia Viewer

It’s becoming a tradition – each year when the Club Eternia exclusives ship, I publish one of the more popular posts on AFP – the map viewer for the Club Eternia exclusive map. This year, Mattel shipped the Map of Subternia with the club exclusive King He-Man. I even got a 24 cent refund for being overcharged for the map shipment. A thousand more of those and I’ll have saved up enough for Castle Grayskull! 😉

  • Position your mouse over areas of the map to magnify it.
  • To zoom in or out, scroll up or down with your mousewheel.

Big thanks again to my wife, who made this possible again this year. Enjoy exploring Subternia, and be sure to visit our previous installments:

Four Horsemen Tease Upcoming Gothitropolis Ravens Kickstarter Campaign

Black Raven

I’ll admit it – when I saw the Kickstarter logo next to the 2-ups for the Gothitropolis Ravens at the latest Toypocalypse, I had a bit of a toygasm. We’ve talked many times over the past few years with the Four Horsemen about when we might finally be able to add these birds to our collections – the rising labor and material costs have been the primary challenge, and they’ve therefore been focused their attentions on toy lines like the Outer Space Men, which are easier to bring to market.

Now the fun begins – figuring out if the Fwoosh can participate with an exclusive, as we did with the Seventh Kingdom elephants and the Queen and her court. What do you guys think?
