Weekend Toy Run: Square Enix Play Arts Kai Catwoman and Zod On Sale at Entertainment Earth

Whoops – meant to post this earlier today, because Entertainment Earth is offering 40% off selected Play Arts Kai figures from Square Enix. It’s part of their 38 days, 38 deals promotion that’s underway and ending November 26. But each deal ends only lasts a day, so be quick if any of these are on your want list.

Batman Arkham City Catwoman Play Arts Kai Action Figure – $35.99 (40% off)
Superman Man of Steel General Zod Play Arts Kai Figure – $47.99 (40% off plus Free Shipping)

I’ve got the Catwoman and paid full price – this is a bargain on an excellent figure. EE also has the Dead Space 3 Isaac Clarke and the Metal Gear Solid 2 Solidus Snake on sale. Happy shopping!

Soapbox Sunday: Doomsday Unleashed vs Bound – By the Numbers (Yours)

Last week, I suggested that Mattel is making a mistake by choosing the “bound” or “jail-suit” version of Doomsday for its San Diego Comic-Con exclusive next year. To summarize, I put forth that most people would prefer the “unleashed” version of the monster that killed Superman, and that with 2014 being the swan song for DC Universe Classics, going out on a whimper would be a disappointment to fans and Mattel alike.

And then I put it to you and asked which Doomsday would you prefer. So far, a couple hundred of you voted, and I’ve taken a look at the results – are any surprises in store?

Weekend Toy Run: Mattel Shop $20 or $50 Off Sale plus Free Shipping This Weekend Only

Sure, you have to spend $100 to get $20 off, or $200 to get $50 off, but Mattel Shop’s sale this weekend might not be that hard to get if you’re a fan of Mattel’s DC and WWE product lines. Here’s some ideas that will help get your there:

Superman™ Movie Masters® Bundle – $79.95 – Get Superman, Jor-El, Faora, and two versions of Zod all in one shot, and cheaper than you’d be able to get them for individually. No, I still haven’t seen Man of Steel yet. Should I? And if I do, will I want this bundle?
BATMAN POWER ATTACK™ TOTAL DESTRUCTION™ BATMOBILE® – $21.99 (on sale) – There’s nothing but rave reviews for this Batmobile, and I’ve heard that you could fit a DC Universe Classics Batman in there if you’ve got one with a cloth cape. This Batmobile would be a great repaint project, but my wife is still eyeballing me about the Batman Brave & the Bold Proto Bat-Bots I bought to repaint but still haven’t.
DC Comics Unlimited DARKSEID Figure – $15.99 – I know a lot of folks hated the proportions of this figure in the promo pics – me too, because I still haven’t bought him. But now he might not be a bad cart-filler to get that discount. Mattel Shop actually has a few of the DC Unlimited figures in stock, including Aquaman.
WWE® Elite Collection Dolph Ziggler™ Figure – $12.25 (on sale) – You know you’re old when the last wrestling you really watched was when the WWE was still the WWF, but I still found that Dolph Ziggler and the Miz were pretty entertaining when they hosted the Mattel WWE panel at San Diego Comic-Con this year. A good portion of the WWE Elite figures Mattel Shop has in stock are on sale, and they also have Hornswoggle on sale for $7.50.

Added bonus – if you hit either threshold, you also qualify for free shipping, since that clicks in when you put $25 in your cart. And if you’re still having trouble getting there – there’s always Barbie or Monster High for those female collectors in your life. Ok, or for you too – I won’t tell!

Did Hot Toys Reveal Christopher Reeve Clark Kent at Battle of the Toys?

Remember that Hot Toys Avengers Shawarma diorama, in which we first saw a Bruce Banner figure? At the time, I thought Hot Toys was torturing us with a custom figure that we’d never have the chance to add to our collections. But then they revealed that the puny Banner would be an official Hot Toys release (although when, your guess is as good as mine).

Think they’ll do the same with this Christopher Reeve Clark Kent?

DC Comics Mimobot USB Flash Drives on Sale at Woot

Right now, Woot has Mimobot Flash Drives from DC Comics on sale for 28 to 32% off list prices. They’ve got two versions of Batman, Robin, the Joker, Catwoman, Superman, and the Flash. They’ve also got other properties like Hello Kitty and South Park. On top of the flash drives, each Mimobot comes with special desktop backgrounds, avatars, and media files that are unique to each Mimobot.

I can’t see how anybody could resist a Flash flash drive. In fact, last time I checked, the 32GB version was sold out, but a 16GB Flash is still available. Sale ends tomorrow but I think these will move fast. No Flash pun intended.

Mimobot USB Flash Drives

You don’t have to be a fan of all of these characters to get some enjoyment out of your Mimobot USB devices. Just say “The Flash flash drive” enough times, and you’ll know what we’re talking about.
