At the end of last week we had a preview of what was to appear in Toyfare #157, the San Diego Comic-Con pre-show issue, and that issue is on news stands today.
I think the editorial staff at Toyfare is trying to dominate the search engine results for “WORLD PREMIERE” and “WORLD PREMIERING” – there’s going to be a lot to see in this issue, including a new 12-inch Star Wars line from Gentle Giant that I had heard nothing about before today. Cool!
Here’s another SDCC exclusive available at the Entertainment Earth booth – from the new Halo Reach line from McFarlane.
SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON EXCLUSIVE ‘HALO: REACH’ FIGURE ANNOUNCED
‘Noble Seven’ Leads the Charge This July
McFarlane Toys and Toys ‘R’ Us team up to bring you “Noble Seven,” the first action figure available from the upcoming video game Halo®: Reach.
This fall, players will get the chance to join Noble Team and fight alongside the core members as Noble Six. Today, we’d like to introduce a new member of the team: “Noble Seven.”
No, Bungie hasn’t added a new Spartan to Noble Team — but they did help us create a unique figure for San Diego Comic Con 2010.
“Noble Seven” comes complete with an assault rifle, frag grenade, custom armor loadout, and studio-inspired paint job, designed by a team of artists from inside Bungie Studios’ top secret lair. This five-inch, fully-posable, limited-edition action figure will be available at the Entertainment Earth booth (#2343), during San Diego Comic-Con, July 22-25, 2010.
Don’t miss your chance to get your “Noble Seven” figure signed by Todd McFarlane — Friday, July 23 from 5 to 6:30PM at the Entertainment Earth Booth (#2343).
Be sure to check out the rest of McFarlane Toys’ Halo: Reach action figures and vehicles, arriving in stores everywhere this September.

When I win the lottery, I’ll buy every action figure I want. For now, these ones were Left on the Shelves.
In this edition, Hasbro Iron Man 2 6-Inch Exclusives, McFarlane Playmakers, and NECA Clash of the Titans.

Here’s some booth pics of the Halo, Playmakers, and Prince of Persia lines from McFarlane. I didn’t speak to anyone at the booth, but it was interesting to see Todd McFarlane working the booth. He’s participated in special events at Toy Fair before, but I can’t remember him actively manning the booth and talking to buyers and media.

With pre-orders available at $7.99 (at Entertainment Earth) to $14.99 per figure, these articulated 4-inch figures should come in a few bucks below their static big brothers when they’re widely available. However, I can’t help thinking that for a buck or two more, McFarlane could have done collectors a solid and packed in interchangeable hands and head, so you could have a batter and fielder in one package instead of two. I think they’d have better sell-through that way.

Brand New Action Figures Hitting Stores in March
McFarlane Toys is on deck and ready to knock it out of the park with full in-packaging photography of the highly anticipated MLB PlayMakers action figures line.
PlayMakers is a completely new McFarlane Toys product based on our existing sports licenses. These new action figures include the high level of detail McFarlane Toys is known for in a newly developed 4-inch scale figure. The addition of tremendous articulation, more than 20 moving parts, allows for complete playability and enables consumers to recreate countless action poses of their favorite sports hero. Plus, we’ve got the inning covered from top to bottom, as most players will be available in both a batting and a fielding version!
Here is a look at the entire Series 1 of MLB PlayMakers:
