Forbidden Planet in the United Kingdom has nabbed some exclusive Doctor Who figures that feature William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, and Colin Baker. Unfortunately, these exclusive figures are only available outside the United States of America and Canada. Really? I bet those online auction sites would beg to differ. I wonder if Matthew has been good enough this year to land the Colin Baker figure for his birthday? Complete descriptions and pictures after the jump.

DC Comics has announced a new rush solicitation for the Hot Toys Superman Returns Jor-El Deluxe 1:6 Scale Collectors Figure that has the figure arriving in stores February 11. This spectacular 12-inch high figure is inspired by the appearance of Jor-El in the hit movie Superman Returns, and includes over 22 points of articulation, real-cloth jacket and pants colored glossy white, a display base with the Superman Returns logo and a Jor-El nameplate, and the authentic likeness of actor Marlon Brando. This is the first time the figure has been available in the U.S. and is in extremely limited supply. …
Sonofagun! For the last year, I’ve been faithfully saving my Anti-Monitor points from Mattel’s Infinite Heroes line. I was hoping it would lead up to a major reveal where toy fans could mail away for a humongous Anti-Monitor, or at least some special figure not found anywhere else. The good news is, there is a point to the point collecting, the bad thing is you HAVE to be at the San Diego Comic Con to cash them in. You can look forward to new reveals for DCUC, Infinite Heroes, JLU as well as Movie Masters and Batman Brave and the…
Mattel has announced it will host two fan panels at the New York Comic Con (Feb 6 – 8, 2009) that promises to unveil a lot of new products, and some show exclusives.
If you are wondering if newly anointed President Obama is soft on crime, just take a look at this freakin’ awesome action figure of number 44 as he fights Darth Vader, slashes the criminals with his dual katanas, and woos the ladies with his panty-dropping vocals. This is a Japanese figure, and while the main site is delivering up a classic 404 error when you click on the page (no doubt due to the throngs of devotees who are trying to buy three mint condition figures at the same time), it is a sure bet this figure will sell out…
Sideshow Collectibles has opened pre-orders for Medicom Toy’s Sulley vinyl figure. Medicom has designed the Disney VCD line with the serious Disney collector in mind, realizing each character accurately and faithfully. Medicom’s Disney VCD figures were previously only available in Japan. The figure stands a little over 8.5-inches high, and will set you back $59.99. via Sideshow Collectibles
Matty Collector has announced the Adam Strange/Starfire six-inch action figures two-pack for the DCU Universe Classic series goes on sale January 15, 2009 at 12:00 PM. Since these figures are super articulated, it’s no wonder why you have to be 18 to order the figures. Can I get a WOOT! via Matty Collector
The Mattel DC Universe Classics Wave 6 is in stores now – if you can find them, I swear my local Target is just now getting Wave 2. Complete figure rundown after the jump.
If you haven’t been keeping tabs of Sillof and what he’s doing in the custom action figure arena, you’ve already missed out on his Justice League by Gaslight. For a while now, he’s been working on the Avengers, and he’s completed both Thor and Iron Man. This was designed as a companion piece of sorts to my Gaslight Justice League. I am actually more of a Marvel fan then a DC fan.  The line is Victorian in nature, with slight industrial elements, and a flair of the American West of the 1800’s. It is all designed to be a little…
I can’t believe this collection is already up to the 8th wave – I’m still trying to get my hands on a complete 2nd Wave set! With each preview I receive, I get more excited about this line, especially the build a figure feature. I know it isn’t a new concept, but it is for DC figures, and the one in Wave 8 is a knockout. Check out all the figure images after the jump!
This isn’t as strange as the Marvel DCU that seems to throw everyone whenever it is mentioned on the site. Instead, these are custom Watchmen figures cobbled together from the Marvel Legends line. Looks pretty cool, even if The Comedian’s mustache features a bit of super-cheese. Want your own figures? They’re up for auction on eBay right now (ends January 4, 2009) for $500. via Mike Sterling’s Progressive Ruin
Underground Toys is set to release three new 5-packs featuring Doctor Who and his enemies in that weird kid-friendly style. More after the jump.
Man, I wish these had been ready for the holidays of this year. Instead, I’m going to have to wait until 2009 to send my Major Spoilers Minions to the toy stores looking for these awesome figures. Take the jump for the three packs, and the Justice League Unlimited Fan Collection figures.
I finally had a chance to catch an episode of Batman: Brave and the Bold this past weekend, and now I’m curious about what the action figures will look like. A quick search of the Interweb Nets and the answer is found in the form of Mattel’s packaging for the upcoming Brave and the Bold line.
