Let's kick off this weekend with the latest round of MattyCollector 2012 Q&A! Here are the questions we sent off and the answers:

1) Which incarnations of Batgirl & Hawkman are planned for All-Stars Wave 3, and will All-Stars Wave 3 Steel feature any vacuum chrome metalized pieces?
A) At this time we are actually making big changes to the roll out. Look for more info to come soon.

2) Does Mattel have any plans on revisiting the 3.3/4" scale, and giving them articulation that can compete with Hasbro's MU and Joe lines?
A) Not at this time but we are always looking into it

3) Does Mattel have the rights to do the DC Watchmen comic versions? If so, could there be a chance of getting Comedian, Nite-Owl, Silk Spectre, Rorschach, Ozymandias and Dr. Manhatten in the same 4 Horsemen DCUC bucks we know and love?
A) Not at this time but it would make a great line of figures!

4) Why did you decide to use Kid Flash's costume from the first three episodes (the costume in the 4-inch KF/Flash two pack), rather than the costume he uses for the rest of the season (the costume used on the other 4-inch KF toys)?
A) As a way of offering variants of a main character for kids.

5) Considering that Batman, Red Arrow, Guardian, and Sportsmaster seem to have custom upper torso pieces, why does the 6-inch Robin have a re-used torso that is so much more muscular than his lean appearance in the show? And is there any chance at a new, slender-build torso for future characters that have that appearance?
A) Not at this time but we will be happy to pass this suggestion along to design! ... [Read More]

Kotobukiya has revealed a new statue. Their newest Marvel Fine Art Statue is an Amazing Spider-Man: Spider-Man Unleashed Fine Art Statue.

A Kotobukiya Japanese import! In 1962 Stan Lee created the character of Spider-Man, the teen aged Peter Parker granted extraordinary powers by the bite of a radioactive spider. With great power comes great responsibility, and Spider-Man would use that power to save lives and protect the innocent. The innovative superhero would go on to become one of the most popular and famous characters of all time, appearing in hundreds of comic books, television shows, and a huge comic book blockbuster film franchise. And now, everyone’s favorite neighborhood hero is back in an all-new Fine Art Statue, Spider-Man Unleashed!

A blur of movement, the Amazing Spider-Man is captured like never before as he swings around a column and blasts a shot of webbing at his unseen foe! Peter Parker wears his traditional red and blue costume, recreated here with painstaking sculpted detail in the fabric’s texture and the superhero’s lean muscled physique. His complex pose screams Spider-Man with the kind of flexibility and movement he’s known for in the comics! Seemingly floating in mid-air, the web-slinging hero is cunningly attached to the highly detailed column of his diorama base. The white marble look of the column is the perfect counterpoint to Spider-Man’s brightly colored outfit, really making it pop visually!

Crafted by master sculptor Erick Sosa, the Amazing Spider-Man is slightly over 7 inches tall (1/6 scale) and floats almost 16 inches above the ground in this incredible presentation. Constructed of high-quality cold cast porcelain, Spidey looks great displayed on his own but can also be combined with the upcoming Venom Fine Art Statue (sold separately) to create an integrated battle scene!

Available October 2012.

As collectors many of us span a wide range of not only the properties we collect, but also the type of product. Some people love smaller scale figures on the 3 3/4" or less, some people love 1/6th scale figures, some people love busts and statues, and some love a little bit of everything.

One category that seems to be picking up in popularity lately is that of prop replicas. In the past prop replicas were shelved to high quality pieces with a high pricetag, and an item that sat on a display base. Slowly these adult collector role play items began to gain more functionality and become more than just display pieces. Force FX Lightsabers by Master Replicas really did a great job of bridging that gap and giving collectors a quality high end display product that you could also interact with and have with.

This year we are seeing the release of two pretty popular prop replicas that both have quite the devoted fanbase: Mattel's Back to the Future 2 Hoverboard and the Aperture Science Handheld Portable Device by NECA Toys. Both items seem to be going that extra mile to bring the right amount of love and authenticity to the fans and collectors, as well as the extra bells and whistles of functionality of sounds and lights. There are always quite a few prop replicas that are being released each year by a multitude of companies, so fans have many choices when looking in this space.

What are some of your favorite prop replicas of all time? What do you currently have in your collection that could fit this bill? What are some of your dream prop replicas you would like to see made? What prop replicas are out there that you want but never got your hands on? Swing on into our discussion thread and let us know your thoughts, feelings, and wishes for future prop replicas. And show us some images of prop replicas that already have a home in your collection!... [Read More]

On the Art Asylum site, a new line of Universal Monsters Bust Banks were announced by Diamond Select Toys.

Get your money out of that dusty vault and shine it up nice, because Diamond Select Toys has a new place to keep your cash! Spinning out of DST’s successful line of Star Wars bust banks comes the all-new Universal Monsters series! The most famous monster of all, Frankenstein’s Monster, will kick off this new line of 8-inch vinyl banks — from the front it just looks like a high-quality bust, but turn it around and there’s a slot to stick your change in! Nobody will want to raid your savings when they’re safe inside this resurrected giant! And the second release in the new line was a no-brainer: after all, if you were going to make a bust featuring highly detailed sculpts and paint, what monster would you want to see done right? The Creature from the Black Lagoon, of course! The scaly mer-monster has never looked better than in this detailed bank, and if you turn him around you can insert your loose change in a slot behind his gills. He’s the next evolution in banks! Look for both Frankenstein and the Creature to hit comic shops and specialty stores this September!

McFarlane Toys has updated with news on their upcoming The Walking Dead: TV Series 2 Figures. These were previously revealed in our Toy Fair 2012 Coverage.

It’s officially a record-breaking show! AMC’s The Walking Dead is not only our favorite TV show, but now more than 9 million viewers have helped set a ratings record for the network by tuning into the second season final episode.

With the second season full of massive surprises, shocking deaths and plot twists around nearly every corner, we have already started obsessing over where season three will take the survivors, and which new upcoming characters and zombies will take over toy aisles and office cubicles nationwide this fall.

So, while legions of fans are anxiously waiting for season three to start, McFarlane Toys is increasing the anticipation with the announcement of its second series of The Walking Dead Action figures, slated to hit store shelves in October 2012.

“As fans of AMC’s The Walking Dead series, our toy company is having a blast creating these figures with all the details and features iconic to the show’s favorite characters,” said Todd McFarlane. “My goal is to put out very intriguing figures and push the envelope, so that the true essence of the show is captured for all the fans.”

So, let the obsession begin, The Walking Dead second series of deluxe figures will include both fan favorite survivors and zombies:

Rick Grimes 2 – The small-town sheriff’s turned-hero and leader of the survivors during the zombie apocalypse, Rick continues to struggle with his moral convictions in season two. The deputy is definitely keeping fans guessing on what his next shocking decision will be. Rick will be featured as a brand-new sculpt in his civilian attire, prevalent in season two.

Shane Walsh – Rick’s partner and loyal friend has become the antagonist of season two. Shane will be featured in tactical attire with his newly buzzed haircut. Love him or hate him, we can’t wait for his next move.

Bicycle Girl Zombie – The maimed zombie girl shown crawling next to her bicycle in a park turned out to be one of the most iconic zombies from season one. She is also the first zombie Deputy Rick Grimes encountered in the season one opener.

Well Zombie – A rotten, bloated zombie surprise resting at the bottom of Hershel’s water well that the survivors eventually attempt to hoist out by using Glen as bait. This is by far one of the sickest looking zombies seen yet on the series, and our figure is one dead on, stomach-churning replica.

RV Zombie – During the opening scene of season two, one of the most intense scenes happens as a mob of flesh-eating zombies swarm the group. Unaware of the flesh-eating zombie onslaught, Andrea becomes trapped in the recreational vehicle when one climbs aboard. Under attack from this “RV” Zombie, Andrea fights back, stabbing the zombie in the eyeball with a screwdriver.

Each human figure includes multiple interchangeable accessories and several points of articulation for limitless playability and customization. Each zombie figure features unique, gory play action. Figures are expected to sell for around $12.99 to $14.99 at stores nationwide.

There is still time to start collecting McFarlane Toys’ first series of The Walking Dead TV Series 1 figures. The figures are now available at Wal-Mart, GameStop, Barnes and Barnes & Noble, Hastings Entertainment, Toys ‘R’ Us, and comic book and specialty stores nationwide.

No pics of the actual figures have been released. But click the headline of the story to check out McFarlane's Toy Fair 2012 announcement display.... [Read More]

Marvel Legends 2012 Arnim Zola Series Daken Wolverine

In 1946, as Wolverine is living in Jasmine Falls, Japan with his pregnant wife, Itsu, Romulus sends the Winter Soldier to kill Itsu. After Itsu's death, a mysterious man cuts baby Daken from his mother's womb and leaves her body lying on the floor. Daken survives this incident due to inheriting his father's healing factor. He becomes a member of the Dark Avengers, as part of "Dark Reign", taking the role of his father. Dark Wolverine lives in the shadows, trapped between evil temptations and his heroic bloodline.

Tales of Arnim Zola 1 of 6

Captain America is no stranger to depraved villainous scum. He has encountered untold legions of crooked commandos, renegade madmen and just plain bad guys in his unyielding pursuit of justice. But few can match the sheer demented insanity of the bio-fanatic known as Arnim Zola! His first encounter with the rogue geneticist was nearly his last... Deep in the jungle beside the notorious Rio de Muerte, Captain America was ambushed by the seemingly unstoppable genetic freak, Man-Fish! With the Avenger on the ropes, Arnim Zola appeared and took control of his creation only to summon two other mutated henchmen. The ensuing battle would be something Captain America would never forget and a fitting introduction to the terror that is Arnim Zola!... [Read More]

Marvel Legends 2012 Arnim Zola Series Thunderball Wrecking Crew

The Wrecking Crew are formed when Dirk Garthwaite - the Wrecker - is approached by Dr. Eliot Franklin (Thunderball) in prison and asked to retrieve a gamma bomb Eliot had designed, with the intent of ransoming New York for millions of dollars. The Wrecker had formerly been a violent criminal who demolished crime scenes with his crowbar, but gained his power when he was mistaken for Loki and given godly powers by the Norn Queen. Garthwaite manages to retrieve his enchanted crowbar, and during a lightning storm tells Franklin and fellow prisoners Henry Camp and Brian Calusky to grip the weapon simultaneously. A lightning bolt then strikes the crowbar and transforms the four men into the Wrecking Crew. Marvel's Wrecking Crew - Destroyers of buildings, men and the Heroic will!

Tales of Arnim Zola 2 of 6

A sickeningly disturbing commander of German forces during World War II, Red Skull has since proved to be one of the world's most diabolical villains. He met the deranged geneticist Arnim Zola during wartime and the two quickly allied over their common , twisted, beliefs. Red Skull came to be the ultimate patron of evil, providing Arnim Zola with the bankroll he needed to continue his genetic research and experimentation. This investment paid off for the villainous benefactor. Arnim Zola used his crazed talents to transfer the consciousness of Red Skull into a new and improved boby cloned from the super soldier Steve Rogers.
