Coincidentally, as if we already didn’t have enough reasons to visit the Sideshow booth at SDCC, Hot Toys had to give us two more. The Marvel movie franchises will continue to be a license to print money, with the Chitauri soldier from the Avengers movie and the Mark 38 Igor heavy lifter from Iron Man 3.
And speaking of Marvel movies, aren’t we due for an updated Wolverine figure from the movie coming in just over a week? Snikt.
My wife tells me that some folks are expecting the DC Comics licensed Uglies to show up at San Diego Comic-Con, but as far as official news is concerned, it’s a previously unseen mashup with Sanrio’s Hello Kitty which are featured as exclusives for SDCC. Wage, Ice Bat, Ox, and Trunko (who gets the nod over mainstay Babo) show up as costumes for Hello Kitty in 12-inch plush, keychains, t-shirts, pins, and iPhone cases.
The email announcement also showed vinyl figures, but these were not called out on the Comic-Con page.

No sooner had I posted the Hot Toys SDCC teasers I saw earlier this weekend, all to be shown in their full glory at the Sideshow booth at SDCC, did they add another teaser to the list. It’s the Iron Man Mark 39 “Gemini” Space Suit from Iron Man 3. This was one of the armors that had been teased by the movie folks in the hype machine leading up to the IM3 opening.
With the Gemini reveal, I believe that leaves only the Silver Centurion armor as the one remaining armor heavily featured in Iron Man 3 that Hot Toys hasn’t yet shown. It’s got to be just a matter of time.
I already love spending time at the Sideshow Collectibles booth at San Diego Comic-Con – it’s massive and chock full of 1/6 scale goodness. And even though it’s just a couple days away, Hot Toys is still driving up the pre-show hype with previews of some figures that will debut at the big show at Sideshow. We saw the Hot Toys Batman Classic TV Series Batmobile last year, and finally we’ll have an Adam West Batman and Burt Ward Robin to go with it.
Hot Toys teased the Iron Man Heartbreaker armor previously, but it’ll be nice to see it (and a ton of other Iron Men, I am sure) up close. And I had no idea they were doing Lone Ranger figure(s) – Johnny Depp’s Tonto is up first, and I can’t imagine that Armie Hammer’s Lone Ranger will follow soon.
San Diego Comic-Con, one of the biggest summer events of the year, will be starting next week from July 17-21!Hot Toys is very excited to be firstly unveiling the prototypes from a number of licenses at the convention.Do visit our exclusive distributor Sideshow Collectibles’ booth #1929 to see these new collectible figures in person!And to kick off – “Nanananana…Holy showcase!”More will be coming soon, please stay tuned!

I have been posting quite a bit about ThreeA Toys since I jumped on the bandwagon a few years back. ThreeZero is the home of the 3A Toys “Hatchery” – they are the production arm, or factory, that makes the toys. ThreeZero is owned and operated by Kim Fung Wong. He’s also Ashley Wood’s partner in 3A.
Still, this news / rumor is a little puzzling to me. After all, zombies are one of 3A’s mainstays. And 3A has been on a licensing tear, adding a diverse line-up in the past couple years. They’ve got 2000 A.D., Marvel, Valve, Metal Gear Solid, and Real Steel. They just closed out pre-orders for the first figures from their Halo 2 and Lost Planet 2 lines. So it seems odd that Walking Dead would fall under ThreeZero instead of ThreeA.
But who knows what twists and turns happen behind the scenes in the licensing game. We’ll talk to 3A at SDCC and see if we can find out more about this.
