The Vintage Collection / Re: K-Mart Exclusive Vintage ROTJ AT-ST
« on: May 25, 2012, 12:30 PM »
I'm just hoping that the rumored multi-pack of Chewbacca with the Ewok hijackers will finally come out in conjunction with this release.  Add in an AT-ST Driver basic figure release and this version of the AT-ST would make a whole lot more sense.

I was really underwhelmed by these TDKR figures.  But it's really par for the course with this license, since they paved the way for ridiculous renditions of their main character in the name of selling more figures / making more money.  The only Batman that looks anywhere near appropriate is the Caped Crusader version.  And I haven't seen a Bane or Catwoman in that line that would draw you in.  PLUS there's not even any cardback art to let a collector or casual fan know what else is available in the line.

FAIL.

Other Toy Lines / Re: A Song of Ice and Fire / Game of Thrones Figures!

It seems that Dark Horse is ramping up their Game of Thrones offerings.  EE now has a section dedicated to merch based on the show.  But the only pieces that have caught my eye are these mini-busts of Dany with the dragons:

I've seen a little bit of this line so far.  It seems to be bumping the Avengers line a little bit further back in the toy aisle.  Which seems odd, since there's been such an immensely positive response to Avengers at the box office.

Yeah, September 25th is the expected date for the Blu Ray release.  It does seem pretty far off, and I agree:  I could watch this movie several times over.  I'm just a little disappointed that it's already out of the IMAX theaters.  I saw it in 3-D, but seeing it in IMAX 3-D would've been pretty cool.

Check out this Rolling Stone article.  They've detailed some of the more significant ways that the second season of the HBO show has diverged from the second novel in the series, A Clash of Kings.

It looks like the Iron Man 3.75" figure line is back and kicking!  I found figures in the new packaging today that were first shown at NY Comic Con:







Notable movie figures?  A new electronic version of War Machine, Iron Man mk VI with removable chestplate & a carry-forward of the Mark V suit.  Most of the rest are concept armor designs.

I haven't seen them mentioned; if so I missed it and am being redundant, but I saw some Avengers 4 Packs exclusive to Wal Mart.  There were two sets; one with Black Widow, Cap, Thor, and Iron Man, and another with Hulk, Loki (version from the Frost Giant set), Hawkeye, and another Iron Man.  I picked up the Hulk one for the Hulk and the Loki.

I saw the set with Black Widow, Captain America, Iron Man and Thor.  These two 4-packs are all comic figures, and look to be Marvel Universe repacks / repaints.

Space X had their saturday launch from the Kennedy Space Center cancelled due to weather.  It's been rescheduled for tomorrow.  And IIRC, this may be the first commercial space launch to go to the International Space Station.

I scored the CW Boss & the new Obi-Wan today.  Good to know these are actually in stores in my area.

what store?


Toys R Us.  I did not, however, find the Aayla Secura reissue or the new Captain Rex.

Great pics, Pete!  I was kind of hoping that there would be R5 parts that could build R5-U8 from Clone Wars, but that appears to not be the case.

Anyone have a red bandana Kithaba they are willing to part with?  I've had no luck tracking one of these down.  I'm willing to pay/trade heavy for it...

I finally saw several Kithaba's at retail last night, and all had the brown bandana.

How were the Evazan's (if there were any)? scar or no scar variant?

I only saw the no scar versions.
