A few more bits on ComicCon, mostly on Green Lantern which judging by the GL movie posters is in full swing now as we approach Summer 2011.
And while the Green Lantern seems to be hottest, new products are coming out including a full line of mini lanntern props.
Meanwhile, the Anime-style DC women has an awesome Jade (with a nice Steel to boot).
And Alan Scott, announced some time ago, is definitely coming home upon release.
Finally, and unrelated, Star Wars has added Mini Muggs to their collection. Hmmm. I wonder if the Muggs for Transformers are truly dead. Because these would be excellent (except for the fact that Muggs Bumblebee would tower over Cliffjumper…)
I’m back from TFCon. The fabled Munny draw will take place this weekend so if you’re watching this space, watch this space this weekend for the winner.
In the meantime, Friday and ComicCon is barely underway and yet the pictures and information are coming fast and furious. Too much to tweet really, so I’m putting it all together in a post.
Transformers:
Transformers: Prime looks nice style-wise. Now let’s see if it has the heart of Animated, or the soul of Beast Wars…
However, these movie two-packs are just hitting the shelves. I have to say I like them. I thought 2010 was going to be a safe year for me in the toy isle…
GIJoe:
With the new Renegades cartoon coming, there certainly is good Joe potential. But looking at the clip from the cartoon, a very Resolute story, I am wondering if the toys will be in the same style (so like TF: Animated was in comparison to the movie line). It would be cool but will cause some astetic issues. Anyway, some toy highlights:
Mini-Hiss Tank. What is nice about this is that it’s another opportunity for the HISS driver, a perrenial favourite.
Alley Viper. You can’t be released soon enough!
Lowlight in the RAH style. Nice.
Heroes:
It seems to be a good year to be a Lantern. Could there be a movie coming?
A five pack of Lanterns, plus a new (two-ups are yum!) DCUC Kyle in the foreground.
It’s DCUC Alan Scott!
No! He’s only available at Wally-Town!
It’s DCU Power Ring. I’m in! (And the Reddy looks awesome!)
Manhunter? Looks more like the Ultra Humanite. Whatever. Want!
Hey I just bought this set at TFCon. Go me!
I love the McGuinness-style toys. So Hal and company make me happy!
More Metal Men in the DCUC style. Fantastic!
Epic Win, Epic Fail!:
I think for me the big news is to see a resurgence in Shogun Warriors. Check this out! I am totally getting this!
But, is this a Battle Beast? Can’t tell. Hope not.
