STGCC 2013: Preview Pics of Play Imaginative, Hot Toys, and Transformers by Jedd

Our good friend Jedd was at the Singapore Toy, Game, and Comic Convention for their preview day, and sent in these pictures. He writes in:

Today was preview day for STGCC and I managed to get some pictures. I have a couple of pictures of Play Imaginative’s Iron Man stuff, including the 6 inch scale Hammer drones. The Hot Toys Exclusives at the convention are: Joe Colton from GI JOE Retaliation, The Iron Man “Midas” Armour, Evil Superman from Superman III, and “Star-Spangled Man” Captain America. There’s also a Metroplex Transformer that is being brought in by The Falcon’s Hangar store.

Thanks a bunch, Jedd!

Play Imaginative Shares Iron Man Super Alloy Preview from STGCC

While we’re talking about the Super Alloy Iron Man figures, Play Imaginative has shared a preview of some of their figures that will be on display this weekend at the Singapore Toy, Games, and Comic Convention. In addition to the quarter scale Mark II War Machine, they’ll also have the quarter scale sub-orbital Mark 39 Gemini, which they’re calling the Starboost. It’s an interesting choice, because Hot Toys has shown their 1/6 scale Gemini but not yet made it available for pre-order.

Then there’s the 1/12 scale Hammer Drones from Iron Man 2, which are being shown for the first time at the show.

Super Alloy 1/4 Scale War Machine Mark 2 (Exclusive Edition) Available for Pre-Order

The quarter scale Super Alloy War Machine Mark II is available for pre-order from YesAnime – they are the US distributor for Play Imaginative. For an armor that was cut out from Iron Man 3 (it had been planned for in an early draft of the movie), it sure has generated a lot of action figures. In addition to Play Imaginative’s War Marchines in 1/6 and 1/12, we’ve also seen upcoming figures of War Machine from Hasbro, Diamond Select Toys, and Hot Toys.

The price tag for this figure is $609.99, which puts it way out of my range, but I’m really interested in what Play Imaginative can achieve in this scale. It’s got over 50 points of articulation, LED lights (with a remote control for them), and even a microfiber cleaning cloth to wipe off fingerprints off of the over 80% of diecast parts. The exclusive edition comes with an alternate head featuring Don Cheadle’s likeness. Impressive.

Play Imaginative to Highlight New 1/12 Super Alloy Iron Man Hammer Drones and More at STGCC

The Singapore Toy, Game, and Comic Convention is this weekend, August 31 – September 1, and Play Imaginative will be on site with its Super Alloy line of diecast figures that span both DC and Marvel. On the DC front, they’ll have both Superman and Batman from their New 52 Justice League 1/6 scale lineup for sale. And from Iron Man, they’ll have Iron Patriot and War Machine from Iron Man 3 in 1/6 scale – outside the US they’ve share rights for Iron Man in that scale with Hot Toys.

They’re also taking pre-orders for Green Lantern, some of their 1/4 scale Iron Man figures, and the 1/12 scale Mark 42. But new for this show are the Hammer Drones from Iron Man 2, in 1/12 scale. These will be up for pre-order for 115SGD, which is about $90, and are tagged as “event exclusives.” With all of the other Super Alloy figures, each event exclusive has been available for order with minor changes, so even if you can’t get to Singapore, you’ll probably be able to order the Hammer Drones through YesAnime, the US distributor for Play Imaginative.

Play Imaginative Shares New Images and Details for its Super Alloy New 52 Superman

I saw the 1/6 scale Super Alloy Superman from Play Imaginative at SDCC – as much as I’ve disliked the New 52 costumes in the comics, somehow this figure grabbed my attention. Perhaps it was because with Batman already released and Green Lantern and more on the way, this will be a way to collect a comic-based Justice League of America in 1/6 scale with the kind of detail and quality I’ve grown accustomed to with Hot Toys.

This regular edition is the same as the event exclusive edition, minus the third head sculpt (with angry expression and heat vision eyes without flames) and three Kryptonian crystals that fit in the Fortress base. But you can actually get the event exclusive Super Alloy Superman at Yes Anime – they’re Play Imaginative’s distributor in the US.
