It’s San Diego Comic-Con, and to get you the pics you want as fast as I can, I’m hooking you into my spanking new Instagram feed. If you’re on Instagram, follow me at afpron – that’s for AFP Ron, not AF Pron :). Stay tuned for better pictures soon.
I really like what DST is doing with their promo pics these days – looks like they’re having fun actually playing with their figures!
Looks like Snarf is a slug rather than an actual Minimate. That’s better than what I expected, as I thought perhaps he’d be the same size as the other TCats.
Coming from Icon Heroes, available at Action Figure Xpress Booth 3345!
The fearless leader of the ThunderCats, Lion-O holds both the Sword of Omens and his iconic claw shield in the collection.
AFX’s exclusive ThunderCats Minimates set will fill the Panthro-sized gap in my collection. I was terribly disappointed that Bandai’s classic ThunderCats action figures never really got off the ground, in either the 8-inch or 6-inch scale. The Minimates format is probably the best bet for less expensive Thundercats, with the show no longer in Cartoon Network’s lineup.
Mezco has announced its summer exclusives, and I’m glad to see more DC Mez-Itz on their way. Headlining the announcements are a 20-inch Batman from the Dark Knight Nolan-verse and a 6-inch Wonder Woman. I will be picking WW up for sure. Rounding out the announcements are a Catwoman Mez-Itz keychain, Thundercats Mumm-Ra 2-pack, a quartet of Living Dead Dolls, and an Earthworm Jim exclusive that will be sure to please fans of the game.
As Ron pointed out in his Best of 2011 post, we both had a hard time choosing just one. There were alot of great toys in 2011, and a lot of getting used to the higher prices we now pay for toys… which brings me to my number one choice.
The Glyos System. The entire thing, not just one figure. These are the most affordable, quality, playable toys I have had in a LOOOONG time. They’re just plain damn fun! And this year they expanded quite a bit with the new Glyans and Rig-Wing.
