Marvel x LEGO The Avengers Movie Sets & Minifigures

At Toy Fair 2012 this past weekend LEGO unveiled its new Super Hero toy line, including these awesome The Avengers movie sets and minifigures. So far we know of four Marvel x LEGO The Avengers sets: “Captain America's Avenging Cycle”, “Loki's Cosmic Cube Escape”, “Hulk's Helicarrier Breakout” and “Quinjet Arial Battle”. The Captain America cycle set is pretty sweet, but how awesome is it you can buy models of SHIELD’s Helicarrier and the Avengers’ Quinjet!?! Is there one in this set you wouldn’t want to buy?

Each Marvel x LEGO The Avengers set comes with 1-4 minifigures, including Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Hawkeye, Black Widow and Loki. These all look awesome, except for Iron Man. Why is his head so freaking big? And strangely there’s no Nick Fury LEGO minifigure included in any of the toy line’s initial four sets. But then again hopefully we’ll be seeing more sets with even more Marvel characters released by LEGO soon.

First Look: SDCC 12 Exclusive Jinx G.I. Joe: Retaliation Movie Action Figures

In one of the strangest promotion moves I’ve ever seen, Hasbro decided to unveil its San Diego Comic-Con 2012 Exclusive 3.75” G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero action figure in February! This is 5-6 months earlier than normal, but who is The Blot to complain! While we don’t know many details, we do know this year’s SDCC exclusive will be Jinx (Kim Arashikage played by Elodie Yung) from this summer’s G.I. Joe: Retaliation (i.e. G.I. Joe 2). The Blot’s a huge Jinx fan, so I’m excited to see her get the spotlight as this summer’s RAH Comic-Con exclusive. As always there will be two versions available, the Standard Edition Red Jinx and the even rarer Variant White Edition.

Like with all SDCC Exclusive 3.75” G.I. Joe action figures, these will definitely sell out and probably fetch some high dollars on the secondary market. So if you think you may want one of these awesome figures start setting up a Comic-Con 2012 mule now!

kaNO “Postal” Fatcap AP Sets

On Friday kaNO released his Fatcap Series 3 Artist Proof sets and they were pretty freaking sweet to say the least! Each set included 1 signed and numbered “Postal” Fatcap with marker accessory, 1 USPS 1/34 scale Dub City Truck customized and numbered by kaNO, 1 kaNO Art Hustle AP artist card and 1 kaNO Art Hustle AP art card. Ten sets were created in all, each retailing for $60 each at kaNO’s online store. Sadly for most of us, these sets sold out in a hot minute.
