Best of San Diego Comic-Con 2011 – Sandman

Another Comic-Con has passed us by, so it is time for us to pick our “Best in Show” this year! I’ve gotta do a top three since I have trouble just picking one!

3) Number three goes to Hasbro’s Marvel Legends Wave 2 Build-a-Figure Arnim Zola!

I have to admit, I’m not super familiar with the character, but I love the way he turned out! C’mon, how can you not love a guy with his face on his chest?  I see Arnim as a sign of great things to come from the revamped ML. I guess you can say I’m generally excited with the return of Marvel Legends, period. The fact that the Arnim Zola wave (wave 2) will include Bucky Cap and some Wrecking Crew members just adds to the excitement of it all! I do hope they start innovating and improving some of the standard Marvel Legends bucks moving forward (just like Thor!), it’s the perfect time to do so too with the popularity of Marvel (due to the upcoming movies) riding high for the next couple of years!

Best of San Diego Comic-Con 2011 – Buzzy Fret

Howdy, AFP viewers!

I’m finally back from San Diego Comic-Con 2011, slowly recovering from jet-lag, and making an attempt to kick start my travel-addled brain to give you my picks for Best of SDCC 2011!

3) DC Universe Classics Wave 19 Hawkman has his hooded head as a Pack-In!

DCUC wave 19 (12)

See it there, hiding behind Hawkman’s mace?

I had completely missed this at the show, and it wasn’t mentioned in either of the Mattel panels I was able to attend. It wasn’t until I got home and a friend pointed it out that I saw it. I’m incredibly happy that Mattel decided to make this Hawkman with swappable heads, as I’m not a fan of the “full beaked” mask. This improves DCUC 19 a hundred-fold for me.

San Diego Comic-Con 2011 – Hasbro Marvel Panel Video

One of my favorite reveals in all of Comic-Con happened during the Hasbro Marvel panel today (video below). In wave 2 of the relaunch of Marvel Legends, Hasbro will be making Arnim Zola the Build-a-Figure. While that’s an awesome announcement on its own, it gets better – through running changes, you’ll have the option to build a Red Skull version of Arnim Zola with new parts and an alternate chest insert (shown above).

More details during the video.

While I’m waiting for my video of the Hasbro Marvel panel from today’s Comic-Con sessions to process, I thought you might like to see some pictures of the upcoming Build-a-Figure from wave 2 of the Marvel Legends relaunch planned for 2012. I took one look at Arnim Zola here and the first thing that came to mind was: What?! No bicep swivels?!?!

I kid. I KID!
