Catch the Daily SDCC Contests at Sideshow Collectibles – Hot Toys Thor is Up Now

Sideshow is always one of my favorite booths at San Diego Comic-Con, and now I’ll be stopping by the Sideshow Collectibles website every day – with a new contest every day in July, often for 1/6 scale figures, there’ll be a lot of loot up for grabs. The latest contest I saw was for a Hot Toys Thor – the second version from the Avengers movie. Good luck!

Hey Sideshow friends!

Don’t forget, we’re doing a new giveaway everyday this month to celebrate ‎#ComicCon!

Watch Mattel’s Video Preview of the SDCC Exclusive Batusi Batman

Video Preview Batusi Batman

MattyCollector’s Toy Guru has posted a video preview of the San Diego Comic-Con exclusive Batusi Batman from the Classic TV Series. Once again they’ve got some pretty clever packaging that allows for Bats to dance with his fellow party-goers. An electronic sound chip plays the Batusi theme.

The action feature comes with some drawbacks, though – one is a relatively small lever in Batman’s back, but the big one is that it appears that his arms could be locked in the Batusi pose. I’m still on the fence for the series, but this probably means I’ll go for one of the Batmen available for pre-order on Amazon.

NECA and WizKids Reveal San Diego Comic-Con Exclusive Marvel HeroClix Shuma Gorath

shuma-feat-1200

Dr. Strange has had pretty good action figures in both Marvel Legends and Marvel Universe, but haven’t really had any of his signature villains available to battle. And while this San Diego exclusive HeroClix Shuma Gorath may work for MU and might be a bit of a stretch for ML, I’m still pretty psyched to see it from WizKids – it’s about time! One of the coolest features is his articulated eye, which is movable via an eye knob at the back of his head(?)

Shuma Gorath will cost $50 at SDCC, and WizKids will also have a trio of DC heroes, Pandora, the Question, and Phantom Stranger, for $24.99.

Mimobot Reveals Chewbacca (and C-3P0) MIMOBOT for San Diego Comic-Con

It’s almost like getting two for one with the Chewbacca MIMOBOT announced for San Diego Comic-Con. That’s because he’s toting around a busted up Chewbacca, just like he did in The Empire Strikes Back, arguably the best Star Wars movie ever.

You can pre-order the Chewbacca MIMOBOT now. You flea-bitten furball! Only an overgrown mop-head like you would be stupid enough to…

Play Imaginative to Release Jim Lee Super Alloy Superman Exclusive Edition at SDCC

Play Imaginative New 52 Superman Exclusive Edition

Play Imaginative has whipped up an Exclusive Edition of its Super Alloy New 52 Superman that will be available at San Diego Comic-Con. It joins the Super Alloy New 52 Batman that is being re-released for SDCC after an initial release at the Singapore Toy, Games, and Comic Convention last year.

No word if this version of Superman will be any different than the Super Alloy Superman planned for general release – if it’s the same, it should feature a second head with heat vision eyes and a crystal fortress base that houses a fan to give the fabric cape the windblown look. Superman will be priced at $360, and we’ve heard Batman will go for $300. Both figures will be available at the Yes Anime booth #4729.
