Border Patrol: Marvel Legends Shanna the She-Devil, Heimdall, and Phoenix Force Cyclops

This week we’ve got three Marvel Legends customs:

Marvel Legends Shanna the She-Devil by Horton’s Heroes – the thicker Moonstone body makes a great base for Shanna, and the headsculpt holds up great for her – this takes me back to Doubledealer’s Shanna from years ago – ends Nov 24, 2013 19:35:13 PST
Marvel Legends Heimdall by rhodabernie – I’d like to see a lot more of Thor’s supporting characters in Marvel Legends – it’s a shame that Hasbro didn’t jump on board with 6-inchers to take advantage of Thor: the Dark World – ends Nov 24, 2013 17:12:53 PST
Marvel Legends Phoenix Force Cyclops by nartardee – if you’re missing that Phoenix Force Cyke that was originally supposed to come out in Wolverine Legends, this version may tide you over – ends Nov 20, 2013 10:45:41 PST

In AFP’s Border Patrol, we scour active eBay auctions for customized action figures that you won’t want to let slip by!

Customizers, don’t forget to check out the submission guidelines for CustomCon 36. Submission deadline is November 29.

Diamond Select Toys Shares Marvel Select Jane Foster Pics from Thor: The Dark World

If you need a Thor fix (since Hasbro isn’t making Thor Marvel Legends figures), then Diamond Select has you covered. Yesterday we shared some pics of the upcoming Thor Marvel Minimates, and today, we’ve got their Marvel Select figures. Thor was revealed a while back, but DST kept the wraps on the Jane Foster figure because she comes with some accessories that may be a bit spoiler-ish to those who haven’t seen the movie yet.

I’m not going to spoil the movie either, but I do have to ask what you’re waiting for – go see Thor: the Dark World!

Saw the Movie and Want Toys? Thor: The Dark World Minimates Coming Soon

If you were looking to fill the void that the non-existent Thor Marvel Legends has left in your heart, perhaps the upcoming Marvel Minimates from Thor: the Dark World will do so, 2-inches at a time. This wave of Minimates will round out the supporting cast that returned from the first movie, with Heimdall, Darcy, and Selvig. Selvig will come with his No Pants Friday alternate legs.

Darcy and Selvig will come with army builder Dark Elves, and Thor, Loki, and Malekith round out the assortment, naturally. These Thor Minimates are expected at comic book shops and specialty retailers in just a few weeks. Thor accepts your surrender.

Soapbox Sunday: Hasbro Missed Opportunity for Marvel Legends for Thor: the Dark World

With Thor: The Dark World set to hit an $84MM opening weekend in the US, on top of a strong international box office the past couple of weeks, I wonder if Hasbro feels the whoosh of an opportunity passing them by. Back at San Diego Comic-Con, we asked the brand and design team if they had plans for Thor Marvel Legends – in short, they said no.

And while they have brought Marvel Universe-scaled Thor figures to the market, there’s a lot more they could have done with Legends.

Marvel Select Thor: the Dark World Lands in Comic Book Stores Tomorrow

I saw Thor yesterday (one of the benefits of traveling overseas) and luckily, the Marvel Select Thor is hitting comic book stores tomorrow. Jane Foster in her Asgardian garb will have a connecting base, and while I’m happy she’ll finally have an action figure, I think Loki would have been just as good, or even a better choice. He really steals the show this time around.
