Kotobukiya's Facebook Page has added a handful of photos of an upcoming Iron Man Classic Avengers Fine Art Statue.

Created in 1963 by a group of comic book luminaries (including Stan Lee and Jack Kirby), Tony Stark was a rich playboy whose capture during the Cold War led him to create a technologically advanced powered armor suit bristling with weapons and science-fiction gadgets. Best known for fighting enemies such as Mandarin and Crimson Dynamo, Stark would over the years combat his own personal demons as well, making him a very nuanced and interesting character popular the world over. While he would continue to improve and upgrade his armors, the brilliant industrialist/hero would also help found the premiere Marvel superhero group which inspires his latest appearance: Iron Man Classic Avengers! Coinciding with the upcoming Avengers film in 2012, this series celebrates the classic versions of some of Marvel’s greatest heroes.

Wearing his classic red and gold armor, Iron Man fights alongside his fellow Avengers to defend the Earth and humanity. Standing on uneven terrain Stark lunges to his left with his arm outstretched to unleash a powerful Repulsor Ray blast at his unseen enemies! The technological wonder of the Iron Man armor is intricately sculpted with all of the classic components you know and love from the stoic faceplate to the circular generator on his chest, distinctive hip pods, and the bands on his extremities. The suit’s armored chest piece ripples with muscles, while its upper arms and legs conform to Stark’s athletic physique. Iron Man’s paint scheme is resplendent in metallic red and gold, and it really stands out when displayed next to the other Classic Avengers. Included with the statue are two heads so you can display your Iron Man with his helmet on or bare-headed to reveal the determined visage of Tony Stark!

Sculpted by artist Erick Sosa, the Classic Avengers Iron Man stands nearly 14 inches tall (1/6 scale). His rocky terrain base matches those on the other Classic Avengers, the previously released Thor and Captain America! Collect your Classic Avengers team just in time for the new film!

Available June 2012.

Art Asylum is reporting that their Marvel vs Capcom 3 Minimates have been released to Toys "R" Us stores.

It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost 14 years since the first Marvel vs. Capcom fighting game came out. What’s even harder to believe is that it’s been almost as long since the franchise had any toys! While both Marvel and Capcom have had great action figures over the years, they haven’t shared the same toy packaging in over a decade… until now! The first wave of Marvel. vs. Capcom 3 Minimates is in Toys “R” Us stores now, and it’s the first of many. Iron Man, Arthur, Dante, Deadpool, Hulk, Mike Haggar, Magneto and Zero will soon be joined by even more Marvel characters, as well as fighters from such Capcom games as Street Fighter, Resident Evil, Darkstalkers, Viewtiful Joe, Okami and more. Minimates stand 2 inches tall with 14 points of articulation each, and are sold in packs of two with plenty of game-specific accessories. Check out our pics below, then track them down at your local TRU or online!

Kotobukiya's Facebook Page has posted a production update for their upcoming Star Wars ARTFX+ C-3PO and R2-D2 2-Pack, which we originally saw back in July.

A Kotobukiya Japanese import! Star Wars ARTFX+ Statues bring you all of the quality and detailing that you expect from an ARTFX release in a great smaller scale that’s perfect for collecting! The new collection has exploded with such greats as Boba Fett, Darth Vader, Imperial Stormtroopers, and Republic Clone Troopers (the latter two in easy to collect two packs)! Up next is the most famous droid duo of all time, C-3PO & R2-D2!

From the very first frames of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, the stuffy protocol droid and his plucky astromech companion captured the hearts and minds of viewers around the world. They couldn’t be more different but somehow through Imperial traps, Rebel celebrations, and forest moons they managed to influence the course of history. For the first time C-3PO and R2-D2 join the ARTFX+ line in this exclusive two pack. Both droids are sculpted to perfection, capturing all of the interesting mechanical details that made them so famous from C-3PO’s hydraulic joints and exposed wiring to R2-D2’s intricate paneling. Both heroic droids come with alternate parts for different display options: R2-D2 can be posed standing upright on two legs or leaning back on three while C-3PO has poseable arms and swappable hands! Finally, like the other ARTFX+ Star Wars figures the droids have magnets in their feet for display on included bases.

ARTFX+ Statues are fun-to-assemble pre-painted snap-fit kits that can be easily put together in seconds without glue or modeling skill. C-3PO and R2-D2 stand just over 6 inches and nearly 4 inches tall respectively (1/10th scale). Display them with the members of the Stormtrooper 2 Pack to recreate the Death Star Control Room scene from A New Hope!

Available March 2012.

With The Walking Dead TV Series 1 biting and staggering its way into stores in early December, it seems only right that McFarlane Toys reveal the TV series' exclusive figure only available at Toys "R" Us -- A bloody black & white version of Deputy Rick Grimes!

Just like the full-color figure, this black & white Rick Grimes features the exact likeness of the actor, Andrew Lincoln. Clearly this figure has been hard at work killing zombies, because this black & white exclusive includes realistic blood splatter for a little extra fun! The figure still features all of the detail, accessories, and play action of the standard full-color figures, including a revolver, shotgun, walkie talkie, baseball bat, and hand grenade accessories.

You can also pick up the rest of The Walking Dead TV Series 1, featuring full-color versions of Rick Grimes and Daryl Dixon, along with a Zombie Walker & Biter. These figures will be available this December at Toys "R" Us, Barnes & Noble, Hastings Entertainment, Albertsons, and comic book stores.

And if you want to expand your apocalyptic zombie collection, be sure to pick up The Walking Dead Comic Series 1, in stores now!

The holiday season is right around the corner, and with all of the crazy deal shopping and gift pandemonium hoopla there is one aspect of it that sometimes may go unnoticed. The Toys for Tots foundation is a charity program run by the United States Marine Corps Reserve which serves to provide toys to children of less fortunate families for Christmas.

As early as October, donation bins will begin to appear at Toys R US and Babies R US locations to collect new and unwrapped toys from those wishing to donate. There are other ways to donate so those who may be interested should visit the Toys For Tots website to find their local drop off locations.

There has been some discussion taking place on this topic recently. Do you ever make an effort to donate during this time of year? If you donate do you buy some new toys for donation or do you have some leftovers in your collection at home that are unopened and ready to donate? Have any charitable alternatives to Toys for Toys? Join the discussion thread and sound off!... [Read More]

Kotobukiya's Facebook Page has added photos and info for their upcoming Star Wars Yoda The Empire Strikes Back Version ARTFX Statue.

A Kotobukiya Japanese import! Next up in Kotobukiya’s amazing line of Star Wars ARTFX Statues, bringing the heroes and villains of the Star Wars universe to life in dynamic 1/7th scale statues, after Obi-Wan Kenobi is another venerable Jedi Master. Coming to you directly from his appearance in Episode V is Yoda The Empire Strikes Back Ver.

Having exiled himself to hide from the evil Empire, the former head of the Jedi Order waits on the swampy planet of Dagobah where one day a young Jedi hero will find him. Meanwhile Yoda keeps up his Force skills by levitating rocks and other items from his perch on a stunted tree. Wearing his old ragged robes and carrying his gimer stick cane, the diminutive Jedi Master is intricately sculpted with all of the wrinkled green character’s ancient charm. Yoda’s tree is decorated with an incredibly detailed texture and convoluted vines, while the floating rocks are craggy and broken. The venerable hero features two interchangeable heads for your choice of display options: eyes open and patiently observant or closed in intense concentration. As with other recent ARTFX releases, Yoda’s base comes equipped with LEDs; the small lamp on the floating rock and the power generator on the ground both light up!

Yoda stands approximately 4 inches tall (1/7th scale) on his exclusive 7 inch tall Dagobah base. The diorama-style scene will look perfect as a centerpiece to your Star Wars ARTFX collection!

Available June 2012.

We've got some pretty informative answers from the MattyCollector crew! As always folks, don't forget to post your questions in our MattyCollector Questions Thread! Without further ado, here are our answers for today:

1) Are all future Batman Movie Masters figures in the Batman Legacy line going to be released in 2 packs, instead of on single cards?
A) Not necessarily.

2) The 1st Appearance Batman from Batman Legacy shown at NYCC seemed off, proportion-wise. Will it use a different body by final production?
A) Not sure if this answers the question, but we elected to go with our "smaller" male torso (same on we use for Green Lantern, etc) for First Appearance Batman, to reflect the thin build that he had in Detective Comics #27.

3) We've seen quite a number of Hal Jordan figures that use the DCUC Wave 3 mold as a base. Isn't it about time that Hal gets a new sculpt(like with double jointed elbows/knees)?
A) Did you check out the 2012 TRU 2-pack reveal at NYCC? We showcased the a different version of Hal in pack with the Yellow Lantern Hal and Blue Lantern Kyle Rayner.

4) Have any retailers expressed interest in eventually carrying the Club Lion Force lions/pilots?
A) We cannot comment on this.

5) You've mentioned before that no pectoral articulation would be added to future WWE Elite figures due to the fact that it would "break" the sculpt. The Mattel DC team has used endoskeletal articulation for their Green Lantern Movie Masters Naut Kei Loi and their DCUC Swamp Thing. Is this type of articulation, with plastic "skin", possible on WWE figures? This may be a solution to the ab-crunch issue...
A) The 'skin' effect could technically be done at our scale, but the amount of deformation you would get as it bends would be significant. The skin may hide the joint, but it would look like the figure had a large fat roll as he leaned forward. Hidden articulation tends to work better at a larger scale that allows the material to flex and blend a bit better. It would also cost a lot more, which would result in more expensive figures. And finally, we've tried to keep in mind the durability of our figures since they're played with by kids. Soft joints do not tend to take abuse very well. For all of these reasons, we've stayed away from this kind of execution with WWE. ... [Read More]
