Mattel Announces San Diego Comic-Con Exclusive DC Universe Man of Steel 2-Pack

During SDCC last year, where we saw an 8-inch Death and a Bruce Wayne to Batman figures, Mattel’s DC team hinted that they would return to figures with more mass appeal for the big show this year. Looks like they are making good with the DC exclusive they announced today – a Superman vs. Zod 2-pack from Man of Steel.

Not much in the way of pics, which will be revealed closer to the show, but I expect that we’ll see some deco variants on the Man of Steel Superman and General Zod figures that were revealed near the start of the year. Maybe some heat vision eyes on Supes? How about some battle damage? Could be anything at this point, but I’m looking forward to it.

Also revealed today, a Hot Wheels Battlestar Galactica Colonial Viper, to accompany the Cylon Raider announced yesterday. Good stuff!

DC Man of Steel™ Movie Masters® Superman™ vs. General Zod Movie Pack

This 2-pack brings to life the super charged battle between two powerful Kryptonians, Superman™ and the General Zod, an exciting diorama set in the city of Metropolis! The package features lights that simulate Superman’s Heat Ray vision, and shows off the Kryptonian’s super strength and flying ability. The diorama is completed with sound effects to help bring the scene to life. Full image will be available on 6/17.

This product will be available for pre-order at MattyCollector.com on June 4, 2013, to be picked up at San Diego Comic-Con (details to come). It will also be available for purchase at the show, then at MattyCollector.com on August 5, 2013.

Square Enix Play Arts Kai Man of Steel Superman and General Zod Figures Revealed by BigBadToyStore

BBTS has provided the first pics of the upcoming Square Enix Play Arts Kai Superman and General Zod figures from Man of Steel on the BigBadToyStore Facebook page. What do you guys think? At $79.99 a pop, I think I’ll need to see these in person (and probably the movie too) before deciding if they’re must-haves for my collection.

These figures are expected to arrive in August this year. Man of Steel opens June 14, 2013.

Mezco Announces Blind-Boxed DC Universe Mez-Itz

I find blind-boxed collectibles frustrating – luckily, they tend to crop up more in the little vinyl figures that my wife collects, but I’ve caught the blind box bug once or twice. The two-inch Mez-Itz fit the bill for the blind-boxed approach – they’re super-cute and small enough to fit in those little boxes, but it probably means that these DC Mez-Itz will find a home at online and specialty retailers, whereas the previous DC assortments had made it to Toys R Us.

Any ideas on the chase? I’ll make my guess here – even though it’ll hit shelves a couple months after the movie hits theaters, I think it’s Superman in his Man of Steel costume. You heard it here first!

Mezco Announces Mez-itz DC Universe 2 inch Blind Box Assortment

New York- Mezco’s ever expanding exploration into the DC Universe continues with the exciting edition of mystery Blind Box Figures. Each PDQ contains six characters from the DC Universe with 10 unique designs; each Mez-itz has a specific rarity scale with a super rare chase figure.

The first assortment includes:

Aquaman

Batman

Green Lantern

Superman

Wonder Woman

Harley Quinn

Each master carton contains three display boxes with 24 figurines in each. There is at least one full set within every case – including the hard to find super secret chase figure.

“I’ve been enjoying DC Comics since I learned to read” said Richard Ford, a member of Mezco’s award winning design team, “To be able to work on this series and transform characters from the DC Universe into Mez-Itz is the next best thing to having super powers”.

These figures are individually blind-boxed, which means you’ll be totally surprised by what you get! Blind-boxed figures come in sealed foil bags, without any clue as to which of the series is inside. The surprise stays secret until you open the box.

Mez-itz DC Universe 2 inch Blind Box Assortment ships in September 2013 , but is available for pre-order now at finer webstores.
