In Honor of Mother’s Day – the Top Three Moms Who Deserve Action Figures

It was a slow day for AFP yesterday, as I was on the road taking my wife and her mom to Las Vegas as a little Mother’s Day celebration. As we were sitting at the gate waiting to board the plane, I thought about action figures of mothers. And came up with one. Pamela Voorhees, from Friday the 13th, was the only one I could recall. And actually, there were at least two made of her. In 2005, NECA came out with deluxe set for the movie’s 25th anniversary, with Jason and his dear old mom (pictured above, courtesy of BigBadToyStore). Sideshow made a 1/6 scale version – see Michael Crawford’s review of Pamela Voorhees.

So, what other mothers deserve action figures? Before getting called to board the plane, I came up with three.

Hasbro Marvel Legends 2013 Wave 2 Pre-Orders Are Up

Pre-orders for the next wave of Marvel Legends are popping up. I saw cases of Hasbro Marvel Legends 2013 Wave 2 on Entertainment Earth and BigBadToyStore. BBTS also has sets of five. The case packouts are listed with eight figures as follows: Scarlet Spider (2), Wrecker, Hawkeye, Black Panther, Jean Grey, with Ultimate Captain America and Punisher re-releases. The sets of five feature one each of just the new characters.

One oddity that I’ve sent a question about to the Hasbro PR team – no mention of the Rocket Raccoon mini-Build-a-Figure. And since I was writing them anyways, I also asked if the running change variants (Deadpool, Dr. Doom, Dani Moonstar, Iron Fist, and Sentry) from the previous waves were still coming. Not cause to worry about an MIA Rocket Raccoon yet – I don’t think the verbiage for previous waves mentioned him – but BBTS did show the Hit Monkey parts in the product pictures.

No product pics shown yet, but you can see more pictures of Marvel Legends wave 2 and more at our Hasbro Marvel Report for Toy Fair 2013.

Getting the Star Wars Black Series Boba Fett? Check Out Joe Amaro’s Custom Jabba the Hutt

I’m pretty psyched about the San Diego Comic-Con exclusive Star Wars Black Series Boba Fett. It’s the first 6-inch Star Wars figure and launches the new line, and one of the coolest things about it is that it comes with a Han Solo encased in carbonite as an accessory. But once you’ve got Han in carbonite, what are you going to do with him? Joe Amaro’s already got that figured out, as he recently finished his Jabba the Hutt custom complete with all the accoutrements needed for Jabba’s throne room.

Border Patrol: DC Universe Classics Superman and Gypsy, Marvel Legends Dark Avengers Ms. Marvel

DC Universe Classics Superman by Ibentmyman-thing – I’m a big fan of IBMMT, being a proud holder of several of his customs (including his modern Johnny Quick and Power Ring!) – his Superman has a number of improvements, including a new more determined head sculpt, a larger Superman shield, and a more classic light blue paint job – ends May 09, 2013 18:30:05 PDT

Save $5 on Hasbro Iron Man Figures at Amazon.com

When I ordered Iron Man Legends Wave 2 at Amazon last week (sorry, sold out for now), I was wondering what the promotion was that gave me a $5 discount – turns out that Amazon is running a Spend $25 and Save $5 deal just for Hasbro Iron Man toys. A lot of the Iron Man 3 prize pack that we had up as a Free Stuff Giveaway last week is up there, like the Marvel Iron Man 3 Motorized Arc FX Gauntlet and the Marvel Iron Man 3 ARC FX Mission Mask, and there’s also a bunch of figures for sale. Probably of most interest is Iron Man Legends wave 1, if you are still looking for those. They’ve got all three figures, including the shortpack:

You’ve got to spend $25 for the promo to kick in, but if you’re buying a couple of figures, you’ll trigger that plus the free shipping. And if you are desperately looking for to complete the Iron Monger BAF, BigBadToyStore has Iron Man Legends Wave 2 cases in stock for you to split with your friends. The sets of three they had available sold out over the weekend. Happy shopping!
