Be thankful you’re not at the 2010 Toy Fair in New York because you’d probably be so busy, you’d miss out on the latest Justice League figures to join the collection.

Press Release Whether it’s SPIDER-MAN saving neighborhoods one web at a time or the SUPER HERO SQUAD united in the fight against the dastardly DOCTOR DOOM, Marvel’s Super Heroes continue to be wildly popular around the globe. As Hasbro (NYSE: HAS) swings into 2010, its new Marvel toy line lets kids experience the thrill and excitement of protecting the world from evil-doers.
Hasbro, Inc. (NYSE: HAS) announced today the start of a special promotion for its popular TRANSFORMERS toy line and is inviting kids and fans to “Join the N.E.S.T. GLOBAL ALLIANCE.†BUMBLEBEE and the AUTOBOTS, the heroic protectors of Earth, need help from their human allies as the planet continues to face the threat of the evil DECEPTICONS. N.E.S.T., a secret partnership between the AUTOBOTS and humans dedicated to stopping the DECEPTICONS, was most recently featured in the blockbuster movie TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN. Now, by collecting three different stickers included in specially marked TRANSFORMERS products available this spring, kids…
Art Asylum announced the Marvel Select Cyclops figure a while ago that features a portion of the Danger Room as its base (presumably the other figures will have more Danger Room goodness). Now the company has announced a X-Factor Cyclops variant that will be packed 1:2 ratio (4 Silver Age to 2 X-Factor figures per case). I don’t mind that companies like Art Asylum release variant figures, especially if the figure is different enough from the main figure, but it does bite that one has to purchase an entire case of the figures just to get the variant. Still, it’s…
Mattel has announced it will release Skeletor’s mistress of magic in April. Evil-Lyn comes complete with staff, wand (with removbale swapable headpiece), Skreeech, bird armor and bird perch! The figure will only be available at the Matty Collector website. I remember when Masters of the Universe toys were first released, and I watched the cartoon series whenever I could, but I do not remember half of the characters Mattel is pushing out. I guess memory loss comes with getting older. via Matty Collector
Next to the Justice League Unlimited action figures, the DC Universe Classics line (and the build-a-figure series) is on my must buy list. It’s just too bad our local stores don’t care any of the figures, forcing me to go online to quietly build up my collection.  This spring, Mattel will launch the thirteenth series of the action figure line that includes Blue Beetle, Blue Devil, Wonder Girl, and Negative Man. Gallery after the jump!
Art Asylum has posted a series of in progress shots of the upcoming War Machine figure based on the upcoming Iron Man 2 movie. Polished up, the figure looks good, and will go nicely with the iron Man Mark IV action figure when it is released.
Dan Dare is a big character overseas, and while he did make a foray into ‘merican territory through the Virgin Comics line, many may not give a flip that the space hero is getting the action figure treatment . Day2day Trading is creating the retro figure based on designs by Chris Weston. The figure should be available in March/April of 2010. via Bleeding Cool
And I for one am more than happy to see the JLU line from Mattel continue until I am an old, old man. What the hell am I talking about? Mattel announced over the holiday that the Justice League Unlimited toy line will continue in Spring 2010 with new figures available through Target. We have some great singles, 3 packs and 6 packs in store including many more fan demanded character, a return to Apokolips and a few out of the blue surprises we think JLU fans are going to love! Mattel remains very committed to this line. As long…
The Stikfas line of action figures were pretty popular a few years ago, as you could build and trick out your action figures and have them battle each other, or take on those 3 and 3/4-inch action figures with your army of automatons. This Omega Male Superhero comes with 2 Omega Male body-part sprues in different colors (orange and white), making it possible to build 2 figures from 1 kit. With 14 super-poseable points of ball-joint articulation, 49 interchangeable parts and accessories, Ziploc bag, STIKer sheet, and instruction card, you’ll have tons of fun with this guy! Stands 3-inches tall.…
Who says comic book geeks have to be in the 30s? If you have a little tyke you’re trying to convert to the dark side, one sure fire way to get him (or her) to pick up and play with those DC Super Friends again, is to give them the latest addition to the line – Hawkman. This 6″ scale, chunky figure is fully-articulated (including articulated wings) and arrives ready for battle in his new brown war deco and Hawk Jet. Yes, it is certainly cool, but Mattel doesn’t say if Hawkman comes with his own Nth Metal mace for…
Who doesn’t like Terence Stamp as General Zod from Superman II? For those who can’t get enough Zod action, Matty Collector has a 12-inch articulated figure that can interact with the other 12-inch DC figures from the company. General Zod has a cloth replica uniform, 2 “crude noisemaker” weapons, extra hands, and a stand for the geek in your life to proudly display his action figure. via Matty Collector
One of our favorite stories of modifying action figures, has to be Sillof’s Justice League by Gaslight. Now Sillof is back with the Gaslight Legion of Doom! Inspired by the comic book, Gotham by Gaslight by Mike Mignola and Brian Augustyn. Set in the 1880’s, Batman attempts to stop Jack the Ripper, who has come to Gotham. The figures have darker look and are a great blend of the Victorian aesthetic and the feel of the original characters. Take the jump for the full gallery of goodness!
Oh yes, these will be mine. Mattel has gone back to the source to come up with a new line based on the vintage MEGO figures from days past. Check out these prototype images. You’ll see they’re not recreations, but updates lovingly based on the old style. In some cases, we’re even improving on iconic features for some of your favorite characters, like a more accurate belt buckle for Green Arrow, or an “s” curl in the hair of Superman. Green Arrow is the first figure out of the gate, and will be released on December 15, 2009. You’ll have…
