Last Chance for a Last Dance with Mattycollector Pre-Orders

This is it, He-Fans, She-Ravers, DC (umm) collectors, and Ghostbusters! The pre-order windows for the Club Eternia, Club Infinite Earths, and the Ecto-1 close at the end of the day. At midnight (or, if Digital River runs true to form, sometime tomorrow morning) the pre-order pages will come down, and you’ll have missed your chance to subscribe and MAKE IT HAPPEN™. To help you decide to subscribe, Toy Guru posted a few tidbits. They essentially contain the same message, with two different delivery methods – one is a traditional wall of text, and the other is a video, with an opening that is truly Cringer-worthy.

In my latest Soapbox Sunday, I outlined which Mattycollector subscriptions I’m signing up for and why. If for some reason you still haven’t made up your mind, do it today!

(Also, click on Battle Cat above for some disco lights for your dancing cat. Or don’t. I didn’t use the animated version for the main post because I didn’t want to blind any unsuspecting readers!)

Watch Mattycollector’s Club Infinite Earths Doomsday Comparison Video

DC fans, rejoice – Toy Guru does care about you!

Mattycollector has published a Youtube video comparing the different versions of Doomsday. In it, he’s got the tier 1 and tier 2 Doomsdays, namely the “containment suit” Doomsday and the “unleashed” Doomsday. For comparison, he’s also got the Collect and Connect Kilowog, with whom the Doomsdays share “upper bicep” (does he mean shoulders or biceps?) and “upper leg parts.” I don’t mean to quibble, but even if parts don’t share tooling, I’d imagine that the Four Horsemen are just building up from the blank Kilowog base, versus starting from scratch. I guess it probably doesn’t matter either way.

Toy Guru also has the DC Super Heroes Doomsday and a normal (vs New 52) DC Universe Classics Superman – both of whom are absolutely dwarfed by the two hopefuls. And yes, you will also hear about how if we don’t hit the subscription targets, they may not be able to make either Doomsday.

CustomCon 35 Wraps Up – Day Two

It’s time for Summer CustomCon again! CustomCon 35 is hosted by our good friend Joe Acevedo, and wraps up with Day Two.

CustomCon is a fictional toy show, showcasing the work of action figure customizers. You won’t find these toys in your local toy store – at least not right away. I’ve heard from several toy makers that they often get inspiration from customs. So you never know! (Check out previous CustomCons and see for yourself.)

Day 2 features four entries: Superman The Animated Series 2014, a set of 3 3/4-inch Gotham’s Most Wanted figures, busts showing The Evolution of Magneto and Mystique, and another group of Game of Thrones busts. Enjoy!

Sideshow Lists Exclusive Evil Superman from Superman III

When Sideshow put the Star-Spangled Captain America and G.I. JOE’s Joe Colton up for pre-sale last week, I wondered what happened to the third of the Hot Toys “Toy Fairs” exclusives. I guess it wasn’t too far behind, because the Hot Toys Evil Superman from Superman III is now up for pre-order. Since Sideshow is the Hot Toys distributor in the US, I think they’ll be the only ones to carry this here.

It’s been so long since I’ve seen any of the Christopher Reeve Superman movies that I have pretty much no recollection of the third movie with Richard Pryor – I’m thinking that’s probably a good thing given its low ratings. But it’s probably time to watch them again.
