Your 2011 SDCC Toy News Round-Up

?? Marvel Legends returns! The new wave 1 will hit in January 2012, and consist of modern Thor, Extremis Iron Man, Steve Rogers in his SHIELD togs, Constrictor, Klaw, Hope, and a Terrax build-a-figure. Series 2 will have Bucky Cap, Daken, Madame Hydra, black and green Spider-Man and various members of the Wrecking Crew — as in they have one character slot, but the figure will change from Thunderball to Piledriver and maybe more. Sounds weird, but Hasbro swears they’ll make enough for everybody. Still, the best part of all this is the wave 2 build-a-figure, Arnim Zola.
? Bif Bang Pow is making 3 3/4th-inch Venture Bros. figures, and the world rejoiced.
? Mattel got the He-Man cartoon rights, so they’re finally making a Shadow Weaver figure. They’re also making a Fearless Photog figure, which is ridiculous if you’re an MOTU fan, and way too difficult to explain if you’re not. The full list of reveals is here.
? Mattel’s Voltron Collector’s Club includes a 2-foot tall Voltron that’s admittedly pretty fucking amazing. Which it should be, since it costs $300 plus shipping.
? Lego has both the Marvel and DC licenses. It’s a good time to be a toy nerd who is also a millionaire.
? Someone called ThreeA showed off 6-inch Star Wars figures that they were apparently
shopping to Takara for some reason. Like Poe Ghostal, I hope to god they
don’t make these because I will be financially fucked if they do.
? NECA’s Evil Dead 2 toyline is 75% Bruce Campbell, and it looks awesome. They’re also doing a Nathan Drake from Uncharted figure and an Earthworm Jim figure.
? Toynami’s making more Futurama figures! Fucking finally.
? Hot Toys’s Bespin Luke Skywalker and ’89 Batman movie Jack Nicholson are things of beauty.
? Thanks to Poe Ghostal, Action Figure Pics and ToyNewsI for the pics and info.
