Sure to be the envy of Marvel Universe fans all over, Toyark boards member bnice has spotted the Marvel Universe Sentinel at his local Toys R Us. The 2nd figure in the Marvel Masterworks subline of Marvel Universe, this figure is substantially different from its Marvel Legends predecessor. It was also, no doubt, anticipated for a long time, with demand for a Marvel Universe Sentinel voiced long before one was even announced.

Sightings have not been widespread yet but to give your fellow fans a heads up, feel free to post your sightings in our Toy Sightings Forums!... [Read More]

Thanks to WeaponXIX of our sister site HissTank.com we now have images of the 1st wave of Assassins Creed figures by Unimax. This is the second video game series to be featured in the Unimax Gamestars line.

Target has a reset planned for their toy aisle on July 31st and these toys are presumably part of that reset, as sightings of them have not been widespread yet. From what we hear, there is a lot of intricate detail sculpted on these figures, however, there is also a notable lack of paint apps.

Are these 4" game figures worthy of adding to your collection? Check out the images which we've mirrored here, after the jump!... [Read More]

Amiblo has posted an exclusive interview with T. Maeda of Tamashii(Bandai Japan's Collectors Division). Mr. Maeda is in charge of the Composite Ver KA, Robot Damashii(non SIDE MS), and Tamashii Macross lines. He was originally from Bandai's Hobby Division, where he worked on the 1/72 VF25F Messiah Alto Custom plamo. The topic for this interview? None other than the upcoming DX VF25 Renewal Version.

Here are some interesting facts we extracted from the interview:

• Wanted a more accurate DX VF25 toy even 3 years ago(during the release of the 1st DX VF25 toys)
• Took fan input into consideration
• With supervision from designer Kawamori Shoji, sought out to make a "must have" Macross item
• Mentioned that next year is the Macross 30th Anniversary
• Went for a more realistic Fighter mode(mentions length and thickness of the randome in addition to replicating the distinct curve seen on the lineart/animation model)
• Thigh swivels incorporated so that the Gerwalk mode can replicate the "A" stance
• Likes Gerwalk mode the best
• Intake covers are removable
• Knife can now be stored in shield
• Strove to reduce gaps in Fighter mode
• Landing gear is now more "fighter-esque"
• DX VF25 Renewal Ver feels more solid than the 1st DX VF25's due to tighter connections

Ultimately Mr. Maeda conveys that once you handle the DX VF25F Messiah Renewal Version, you'll definitely feel the difference as it's the culmination of 3 years of lessons learned since the release of the original DX VF25F.... [Read More]

We've all done it. Found something we wanted to buy in the toy aisle, but passed on it in hopes we would come across it again later when we had more time or money. Or maybe some of us found a rare or decently priced item we had wanted, only to return later to make the purchase and find out it is gone. I am sure we all have some lament for passing something by in hopes to get it later only to find it gone.

This Discussion Point brews from an older thread that has been picking up some steam lately. I know I have some regrets of my own in regards to passing items by, how about you? Sound off in the thread and share your stories and greatest misses when it comes to what collectibles you have just missed or were forced to leave behind!... [Read More]

Art Asylum has posted a few photos and info on some upcoming Halo Minimates Warthog sets.

If you haven’t been keeping up with the regular waves of Halo Minimates at Toys “R” Us, Diamond Select Toys is gonna make things easy for fans of Noble Team. They’re sending TRU two boxed sets in August, and each one will contain three Noble Team members and one Warthog (which conveniently seats three Minimates).

Jun, Carter and Kat will come with the standard Warthog, and Jorge, Emile and Noble-6 will come with a Warthog with a Gauss cannon, the first one of its kind DST has released. The sets will cost $19.99 each, will include a different weapon for each team member, and will only be available at TRU. Minimates stand two inches tall, with 14 points of articulation each, and each Warthog stands 4 inches tall.

Art Asylum has posted some new photos of upcoming X-Men: First Class Minimates.

In the spirit of the back-to-school season, Diamond Select Toys’ box set of comic-based X-Men First Class Minimates will be hitting comic and specialty shops in September. To kick off the countdown until their arrival, we did a classroom photo shoot with them in which we literally sent them back to school. And we’re not talking about the Rodney Dangerfield movie. Check out the shots below.

Kotobukiya's Facebook Page has added a few photos of their upcoming Magneto Fine Art Statue. We had seen this statue at San Diego Comic-Con 2011.

In 1963 the X-Men debuted, mutants trying to make the world a better place for both them and humans. Such powerful and idealistic heroes needed a suitably strong villain, and so in X-Men #1 appeared one of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby’s finest creations, Magneto! A master of magnetism with control over metal, force fields, and flight powers, Max Eisenhardt had worked with Charles Xavier until their philosophical differences became too great. Magneto would then go on to plague the X-Men as a villain, although they would occasionally team up for the greater good. One of the most popular comic book characters and villains over the last 40 years, Magneto finally gets his due with an outstanding Fine Art Statue.

Always in control of himself and his surroundings, the mighty Magneto hovers over the battlefield and dares anyone to approach him. Recreating one of his most iconic poses from the comic books, the mutant villain stands with his legs apart and one hand down at his side while the other points forward. As imposing physically as he is mentally, Magneto’s powerful physique is intricately sculpted, and the tension of his clutching hands speaks volumes. He wears his traditional costume, a full body suit broken up into boots, pants, trunks, shirt with piping, gloves, and a long rippling cape attached with a studded collar. All of these components are faithfully recreated with fantastic detail both in sculpt and paint, bringing out the full red and purple glory of Magneto. Best of all, you can choose to display the mutant with either of two included interchangeable heads, with or without his trademark helmet!

Sculpted by Erick Sosa, Magneto hovers above a field of debris from Charles Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters. Whether he’s menacing your X-Men or leading them, Magneto will be a stand out in your Fine Art Statue collection!

Available March 2012.
