USAToday.com got the exclusive first look at Hasbro’s exclusive offerings at this year’s San Diego Comic Con. Among some of the more notable releases you’ll find the already announced Star Wars Black 6-inch Boba Fett with Han in carbonite ($49.99). Following the crossover releases of the last two years, Hasbro will serve up another G.I. Joe/Transformers mashup ($99.99). This time we get a V.A.M.P. with a Hound paint job, a Skystriker with a Jetfire design, a Snake Eyes with Autobot logo on his uniform, the Baroness with Ravage, a boombox inspired by Blaster, and a robot samurai based on the Decepticon designs of Bludgeon. Finally, Marvel Legends fans can expect to see a new Thunderbolts five pack featuring Judith Chambers, Ghost, Crossbones, Luke Cage and Moonstone ($89.99).
According to the Mandarin, “You’ll never see me coming…” Thanks to io9, that’s not exactly the case. They broke the first look at this new 6-inch scale figure of Ben Kingsley from Iron Man 3. He should hit toy shelves this fall as part of the Iron Monger build-a-figure line from Hasbro.
Hasbro plans to release an entire line of Iron Man-themed Marvel Legends figures in March. The first wave will include Classic Horned Iron Man, Heroic Age Iron Man and Iron Patriot. Each figure will include a build-a-figure piece to form a comic book version of Iron Monger. These are up for pre-order here.
BC Direct over at Toy World Order did a bang-up job with his latest Wave 3 Marvel Legends review. It’s shot nicely with a clear and concise explanation of the figure. Kudos!
