Diamond Select Toys and EMCE Toys have another round of 8-inch Mego-styled monsters on the way. This time classic sci-fi and horror fans can expect to see Lon Chaney’s Phantom of the Opera and the Metaluna Mutant from This Island Earth grace the shelves of your local toy or specialty store. Each figure has real fabric clothing, comes in resealable retro-styled packaging and sports multiple points of articulation.  These will creep into toy collection in September or you can preorder them here.

Art Asylum and Diamond Select Toys have taken one of Marvel’s biggest comic events of 2011 and turned it into a new series of Minimates.  Fans of the Fear Itself storyline can look forward to two new box sets.  The Worthy set includes Cul, The Serpent (the Asgardian god of fear); his herald Skadi (a.k.a Sin, the Red Skull’s daughter); Mokk, Breaker of Faith (formerly the Grey Gargoyle); and Angrir, Breaker of Souls (formerly the ever-lovin’ blue-eyed Thing). The Mighty box set features Asgardian All-Father (and Cul’s brother) Odin, as well as Spider-Man, Hawkeye and Iron Man in their final battle costumes, with their dwarf-forged uru-metal weapons. (Iron Man not shown.) These will arrive in the summer at comic shops and specialty stores.
