Check out this Hasbro KRE-O Star Trek Video by Bad Robot

Star Trek Kre-O Digital Short

While we’re on the subject of Star Trek Into Darkness and KRE-O, be sure to check out this digital short for the KRE-O Star Trek line, made by Bad Robot. They are the production company of J. J. Abrams. And to answer the obvious question, yes, the very self-aware and funny video has plenty of lens flare.

Also, Sulu shows us why he deserves his own cologne. (Spoiler: he cuts a dude in half!) Makes me wish Hasbro would back a KRE-O Star Trek video game.

It includes a lot of great stuff from Diamond Select Toys, Hasbro, NECA, and more.

Live long and shop a lot!

Hasbro Shares Official Pics and Description for Star Wars Black Series San Diego Comic-Con Boba Fett and Han Solo in Carbonite

Hasbro Star Wars Black Series SDCC Exclusive Boba Fett

Hasbro has released their official pictures and description for what should be one of their more popular exclusives for San Diego Comic-Con. On top of the packaged shots of the Star Wars Black Series Boba Fett that were revealed through USA Today, they’ve included pictures of the Boba Fett figure and his bounty, Han Solo frozen in carbonite. The new pics give us a closer look at the articulation setup on Boba. Of particular note, it looks like he’s got wrist hinges – allowing more natural two-handed poses with his Blas Tech EE-3 rifle.

I’ve had a chance to do more thinking about the $44.99 price, which seems a bit steep. At more than double the $19.99 price point that’s expected at retail for single figures in the Star Wars Black Series, it might be tempting to wait for his eventual re-release in the line. I’m fairly certain they will do this, most likely with the Return of the Jedi deco – there’s a precedent with the Marvel Legends Thor that launched the Return of Marvel Legends line.

Free LEGO Iron Man vs Fighting Drone

Iron Man is still going strong in theaters, though I expect Star Trek will take over the top spot this weekend. LEGO has the Marvel (and DC) license, but Star Trek is with Hasbro in the KRE-O building set brand – so LEGO is riding shotgun with this Iron Man promotion for a free set. The LEGO Iron Man vs. Fighting Drone is a $4.99 set, and you don’t necessarily have to buy Marvel LEGOs to get it.

For example, you might go nuts over these Lone Ranger LEGO setscowboys, Indians, and trains? That’s LEGO heaven, Kemosabe.

Marvel Legends Blade 1 Marvel Legends Blade 2 Marvel Legends Blade 3

Marvel Legends Blade by Heroes Assembled Customs – I wonder if that running change variant Blade is ever going to come out – if not, this might be your shot at getting an updated Blade into your Marvel Legends collection – I’m digging that choice of the Mr. Terrific (am I right?)
