SDCC 2012: Superman, the Flash, Batman and SDCC Exclusive Bane USB Flash Drives

With The Dark Knight Rises opening the week after Comic-Con, you can bet there’s going to be some Batman and Bane madness. And if you want some portable storage for your SDCC footage of the Warner Bros. panel (or whatever digital media you need to carry in your pocket, you can pick up one of 500 Bane flash drives exclusive to the show. I’m sure they’ll have the rest there too, including the previous runs of Batman and Green Lantern flash drives.

I think Mimoco ought to pick up the Marvel license, so they can make a Leader MIMOBOT.

SDCC 2012: Marvel HeroClix Exclusive Giant-Man and Ant-Man (Kinda) Reveal

We’re catching up on SDCC exclusives, and a few weeks back, NECA revealed its HeroClix exclusive – Giant-Man, with an in-scale (read: too small for you to see him and too small for them to put anything on the HeroClix base) Ant-Man.

Don’t worry – NECA is making an actual HeroClix figure for Ant-Man too – he’ll come with his better half, the Wasp.

NECA Does SDCC Pt. 1: Giant-Man HeroClix Unveiled!

We’re Con Bound!

Over the next few weeks, we’re going to be giving special sneak peaks out our 2012 convention exclusives, and we start today with the brand-spanking new 2012 Convention Exclusive Marvel HeroClix Giant-Man Super Booster! Priced at $39.99, Giant-Man also includes a proportionate Ant-Man HeroClix figure that’s invisible!

No, really, like he’s not there. Set to the scale of Giant-Man, you can’t see Henry Pym when he shrinks all the way down to Ant-Man size. Also, when Marvel HeroClix first premiered way back in 2002, a similar Ant-Man was offered at conventions that year, so this Ant-Man makes a perfect bonus piece for Pym as Giant-Man. As you can see above, there’s a base with Ant-Man on it, and you’ll just have to take our word for it that he’s there. You can’t possibly imagine how hard it was to sculpt something so small that it’s invisible to the naked eye.

Size Matters

Henry Pym AKA Giant-Man first appeared in Marvel’s Tales to Astonish #56 in 1964, having already made his debut as Ant-Man in issue #35 two years earlier. Rumors have been kicking around for a while now about a movie in the works, so we thought no better time to debut this Giant-Man Chaos War HeroClix!

Like all of the figures in the Chaos War collection, Giant-Man is gorgeously detailed and accurate to the comics. He’ll be available at San Diego Comic Con and other upcoming 2012 conventions.

For more on HeroClix, be sure to check out the Marvel Chaos War HeroClix collection, and keep it tuned to your favorite action figures wholesaler for other 2012 convention exclusives to come and all the best merchandise from your favorite games, movies, and more!

SDCC 2012: Marvel Universe Masters of Evil 3-Pack Reveal

Another reveal of Hasbro’s exclusives for San Diego Comic-Con – a 3-pack Marvel Universe set featuring the Masters of Evil. If you haven’t gotten enough Avengers by the time SDCC rolls around, these three villains from arguably the greatest Avengers villain team-up could give you a fix. Dave Vonner dropped big hints at Toy Fair that the MOE would be coming our way this year, and with this set we’re getting Baron Zemo, Radioactive Man, and Tiger Shark.

We’d gotten Zemo during Toy Biz’s Legends run, but that was the elder Heinrich – this is Helmut. So all three characters get their first figures in 4-inch scale (not counting Tiger Shark in Super Hero Squad) – but hopefully Legends versions won’t be far behind.

MARVEL UNIVERSE 3.75″ MASTERS OF EVIL Special Edition 3-Pack
(Ages 4 and up; Approximate Retail Price $29.99; Available through HasbroToyShop.com, Booth #3329 at San Diego Comic-Con)

Fueled by a raging need for vengeance against Captain America, Baron Zemo hatches a masterful plan. Not foolish enough to face the Avengers alone, he strategically forms one of the most powerful groups of villains ever assembled. The Masters of Evil 3-Pack includes Baron Zemo, Radioactive Man and Tiger Shark all appearing in 3.75″ scale, and united for a singular purpose: destroying Earth’s Mightiest Heroes!

Looks like Hasbro is staying true to the relaunch of Legends by keeping all the articulation we know and love – check out the rocker ankles on Wolvie. Can’t wait to see more!

Mattel San Diego Comic-Con 2012 Exclusive Pre-Orders Starting May 30

MattyCollector.com has opened up pre-orders for the Mattel San Diego Comic-Con 2012 exclusives. As I previously discussed, I think this year’s exclusives, including the Masters of the Universe Classics Vykron, are a little off the mark – I’m probably going to leave it up to my show floor impulses to decide if I’ll pick anything up.

One new item that wasn’t covered in the initial reveals is the The Dark Knight Rises Movie Masters Figure, which features Bruce Wayne with a Batman suit. The figure itself looks to be a standard DC Universe Classics buck, and the suit is a flexible overlay. I imagine it will limit most of the articulation, but as presented in package (the armory of the Batcave) it looks pretty cool.
