Entertainment Earth will be at New York Comic Con for the first time this year. They’re continuing their partnership with Toys R Us, so in addition to the Bif Bang Pow! and Funko exclusives, they will also have some of the TRU items, like Minimates, Real Ghostbusters, and an exclusive Rick Grimes from the Walking Dead line of figures from McFarlane.
Square Enix’s Play Arts Kai line of action figures is one of the reasons I buy lottery tickets. I bought the Red and Blue Spartan exclusives at San Diego Comic-Con and it looks like I’ll be picking up one of these bad boys too.
Hopefully the guys at the booth will have more info on their Arkham Asylum figures too.

Hasbro is making its first appearance at New York Comic Con this year, and kudos to them for not rehashing the exclusives they offered at San Diego Comic-Con. Sure, we are hoping for the day that they melt down the molds for this Hulk, but it’s a decent repaint for a show exclusive, and the Impossible Man insert is cool. Transformers fans will be able to pick up a Nerf gun and Cuponk game exclusives.
We’ll be getting a preview tonight of what they’ll have on the floor, and I’m really looking forward to the Hasbro Marvel panel on Saturday night. Stay tuned for more!

We’re back with the October edition of Ask Matty. Because of New York Comic-Con, Mattel won’t have another Q&A until November. Be sure to send in your questions as we get our coverage of NYCC up, since the next round of questions are due on the 15th.
1) We know we’ll get toys for The Dark Knight Rises, but what are the chances of Batman Legacy or another non-movie Batman line getting some shelf space in 2012?
In 2012, our collector product efforts will focus on Batman Legacy in the Spring, and TDKR Movie Masters once the movie product launches.
