I really like what DST is doing with their promo pics these days – looks like they’re having fun actually playing with their figures!
Looks like Snarf is a slug rather than an actual Minimate. That’s better than what I expected, as I thought perhaps he’d be the same size as the other TCats.
Coming from Icon Heroes, available at Action Figure Xpress Booth 3345!
It’s a little over five months before The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey will hit theaters, and only three months before toys are due to hit shelves – and there are *still* no pictures of the upcoming action figure lines from Bridge Direct, the master toy and game licensee. That will change next week at San Diego Comic-Con – they’ve released their list of Comic-Con exclusives, and Entertainment Earth will be selling an exclusive, 6-inch, ring-wearing Bilbo.
The Bridge Direct’s limited edition 6 inch scale figure of Bilbo Baggins presents the popular title character from The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey in his “invisible” state while wearing the ring, which can be seen on his hand. Available only at the San Diego Comic-Con 2012, this intricately detailed transparent figure is presented in a numbered collector’s edition box.
I haven’t been to a Disney Store in a while – since long before the Marvel acquisition. Have they had a lot of Marvel items on the shelves?
Like flies caught in a web, everyone is buzzing about the new Amazing Spider-Man movie, and Diamond Select Toys has already put out some amazing collectables based on the film! In addition to a movie-inspired series of their popular Minimates mini-figures, DST also recently shipped their Marvel Select Spider-Man and Lizard action figures to comic shops and specialty stores. Well, now MarvelStore.com, DisneyStore.com and physical Disney Store locations will have two special editions of Spidey, as well!
The first exclusive Marvel Select figure will be a version of Spider-Man with interchangeable gloveless hands, plus an interchangeable unmasked Peter Parker head, featuring the likeness of Andrew Garfield. The other exclusive figure will be an entirely metallic version of the regular Spidey figure, depicting the extra-shiny side of the new, big-screen Spidey-suit! Look for both special editions to arrive on MarvelStore.com, DisneyStore.com and Disney Store shelves in early July!
The fearless leader of the ThunderCats, Lion-O holds both the Sword of Omens and his iconic claw shield in the collection.
AFX’s exclusive ThunderCats Minimates set will fill the Panthro-sized gap in my collection. I was terribly disappointed that Bandai’s classic ThunderCats action figures never really got off the ground, in either the 8-inch or 6-inch scale. The Minimates format is probably the best bet for less expensive Thundercats, with the show no longer in Cartoon Network’s lineup.
