Win a Marvel Select Jane Foster and Thor Prototype from Diamond Select Toys

Gotta love the easy to enter contests from Diamond Select Toys, especially when it’s a cool prize like the Marvel Select Jane Foster and a Thor prototype from Thor: the Dark World. Remember, you’ve got to like the picture on Facebook (you can always share or like this article too – we don’t mind!) and email your address to DST.

I do like that the height difference between Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman are represented in the figures – although the proper comparison might be seen on this Graham Norton clip with the two Thor stars and their action figures. 😉

CC36: Marvel Legends Masterworks – Alter Ego by CRobTheCreator

alter-egoposter

From Marvel.com:

While on a mission to prevent Ego from causing more harm to the planet Earth’s solar system, Thor was confronted by the Stranger who encouraged the thunder god not to interfere with Ego’s destiny… Thor quickly came upon the Museum of the Elder of the Universe known as the Collector. After a brief scrimmage between the two powerful men Collector revealed to Thor Alter Ego, another “Living Planet,” was being held within a special chamber of the Museum. Also in the Museum was Zephyr, one time captive of the Collector, although now she is acting as his ally, and she blasted Thor into the Alter Ego’s dimensional prison, where he became the living planet’s next meal.

Border Patrol: Marvel Legends Sif, WWE Elite Hulk Hogan, 1/6 Scale Blade Runner

Marvel Legends Sif WWE Elite Hulk Hogan One Sixth Scale Blade Runner

This week’s customs are all high up on my want-but-can’t-have list:

  • Marvel Legends SIF by JLA – I really do wish that Hasbro had gotten on the ball and made a Thor Marvel Legends wave or two – although I’m generally not enthused by using DC Universe Classics figures for Marvel characters (and vice versa), this custom really works out well – I’ll have to compare the sizes to newer ML Thor, though, because I wonder how Sif measures up – ends Dec 07, 2013 20:49:30 PST
  • WWE Elite Hulk Hogan by 1more2come – this is a relatively simple custom but fills a gap in all our Mattel WWE Legends collections – with Hulk recently re-upping with TNA, it’d take a miracle to get him in the Mattel WWE line-up, even if it’s just a flashback figure – it’s too bad Marvel Toys / Toy Biz is no longer in the game with its TNA figures – ends today, Dec 03, 2013 18:47:19 PST
  • 1/6 Scale Blade Runner Rick Deckard by thebatmancollector – this custom combines elements from Sideshow Collectibles, Hot Toys, and costuming from Android Hunter – I think there’s enough of a cult following for Blade Runner that Sideshow or Hot Toys could pick it up – if Sideshow can make a Snake Plissken, certainly there’d be more options for figures from Blade Runner – ends today, Dec 03, 2013 15:16:18 PST

Border Patrol: Marvel Legends Beta Ray Bill, Nova Prime, and Wonder Man

Marvel Legends Beta Ray Bill Marvel Legends Nova Prime Marvel Legends Wonder Man

This week, I found some more custom Marvel Legends that I’d like to have in my collection.

  • Marvel Legends Beta Ray Bill by Leech Customs – whether you prefer the Marvel Select Thor or the newer Marvel Legends Thor, the problem is that your Beta Ray Bill from back in the Toy Biz days is now a bit undersized – I’ve been thinking for a while about transposing some parts onto a newer Wrecking Crew body, and now I can see it will work out just great – as an added bonus, Stormbreaker has been enhanced with a very nice handle that hangs the way it should, no matter what position the hammer is in – ends Nov 28, 2013 18:54:15 PST
  • Marvel Legends Nova Prime by Draubner – there’s some really nice sculpting work on the armor pieces added to this custom, and the paint work is nice too – comes with alternate unmasked head and a custom base – ends today, Nov 26, 2013 07:40:37 PST
  • Marvel Legends Wonder Man by Stevid Customs – there’s so many characters that would benefit from the new Hyperion body, and Stevid is working through them – this week he’s not only got Wonder Man, but also Luke Cage and Gladiator – ends Nov 27, 2013 18:09:37 PST
