'Man Of Steel': Statues Show Off General Zod And Faora

Posted 4/4/13 5:00 pm EST by in DC Comics, News, Toys

Man of Steel statues

by Brett White

So far all of the photos released from "Man Of Steel" have been pretty uneventful, mostly depicting the cast and crew behind the scenes. We've yet to get a clear shot of Michael Shannon as General Zod or Antje Traue as Faora, but these images from "Previews" are the next best thing. These "Man of Steel" statues show the two Kryptonian opponents all armored up and ready to fight.

The General Zod statue differs from his action figure; we assume the action figure duds are hiding out underneath all that bulk. The Faora statue matches up with her action figure well, just with a much higher level of detail. Also shown are statues for Superman and Jor-El, two guys that we've already seen a bit of thanks to the trailers and action figures.

'Man Of Steel' Figures Reveal Possible Plot Points

Posted 4/2/13 11:00 am EST by in DC Comics, News, Toys

Man of Steel figures

by Brett White

An elite cabal of action figure sellers have come across the first assortment of "Man of Steel" figures and set their plan in motion: selling them on ebay! Okay, so that's not that nefarious of a plot. And the "elite cabal" business was probably hyperbole. Whatever the case, their actions have given us our first peek at the toy packaging and, yes, character bios for Superman, General Zod and Jor-El.

Each back story is pretty much what anyone with a basic knowledge of Superman would come up with. Superman's parents sent him away from the dying Krypton and he grew up in Smallville. General Zod was imprisoned in the phantom zone (surprisingly not capitalized). Jor-El is Superman's dad and, also, Russell Crowe. It all seems like harmless info, but there could be a turn of phrase that could be considered a spoiler depending on how deep your Superman knowledge runs and how cautious you are about spoilers. Your call, reader! Check out the toy packaging below.

'Iron Man 3': Hot Toys Unveils Die-Cast Iron Patriot

Posted 3/22/13 2:00 pm EST by in Marvel, News, Toys

Iron Patriot

Hot Toys is really laying it on thick with the Iron Patriot collectibles. Little more than two weeks after the company unveiled its Iron Patriot bust, Hot Toys has also revealed its die-cast Iron Patriot.

The "Iron Man 3"-accurate figurine is a 1/6 scale model and is limited edition. Based on what we've seen of Don Cheadle's character in trailers and images for "Iron Man 3," this collectible does look spot-on. As can be seen in the pictures below the jump, the Iron Patriot figurine has a rotatable machine gun and some light-up functions.

'Walking Dead': This LEGO Minifig Is Basically Daryl Dixon

Posted 3/20/13 5:16 pm EST by in Image Comics, Toys, TV

LEGO Daryl Dixon

by Brett White

It may be called "Zombie Hunting Enthusiast," but it's obvious that this LEGO custom minifigure from Citizen Brick is based on Daryl Dixon from "The Walking Dead." The minifigure comes complete with a biker vest and a "filthy poncho," as well as Daryl's signature crossbow. He even has a necklace full of zombie ears, a nod to one of Daryl's ickier habits.

Check out the full tongue-in-cheek Citizen Brick ad and description below.

'Wolverine' Gets A Ferocious Action Figure

Posted 3/19/13 9:00 am EST by in Marvel, News, Toys

by Brett White

Diamond's Marvel Select series has been bringing the goods for years now, offering up insanely detailed action figures of everyone from Jeremy Renner's Hawkeye to 1970s Storm. The geniuses over at Diamond have now turned their attention towards James Mangold's upcoming film, "The Wolverine," and have delivered quite a feisty take on the titular mutant.

The 7" tall figure stays faithful to Hugh Jackman's likeness, even going so far as to faithfully adapt the somehow-buffer-than-ever physique that the actor's been sporting in the film's promotional images. Fans prone to making stop-motion animation will be pleased to know that the figure comes with three interchangeable heads, depicting emotions ranging from "berserker annoyance" to "berserker rage." There are even interchangeable hands, depending on whether or not you like your bones with or without adamantium, or just prefer a classy katana.

The video below gets all up in Wolverine's many sculpted faces.
