What's Your Obsession

MSRP of $279.99 (though look at other retailers, such as BBTS!), limited to 750, coming in at about 19 inches tall, HCG presents their 1:4 scale Captain Kirk statue. There’s no exclusive version of this one. The likeness to Kirk is pretty good and roughly one billion times better than Sideshow’s attempt (admittedly, that was MANY years ago), it also makes me wonder if HCG will do more of the crew in 1:4.

More shots at the HCG gallery.

This week, BBTS has the newest Hot Toys Predator in stock for $200, new 1/4 scale Predators from NECA, pre-orders for those Toy Story Cosbaby figures ($10 for Rex, think I’ll be grabbing him!), the new Bowen statues, and the new Gentle Giant statues I showed off a few days ago.

What looked to be one of the finest female statues released by Sideshow Collectibles in a while and part of their recent Hulk craze, here’s my review of the She-Hulk Premium Format Exclusive statue.

Quick Buying Options : Most likely you’ll be stuck with Ebay. But you can get on waiting for the regular at Sideshow, or Amazon.

Here’s the final post! New DC Direct 2012 offerings in the Cover Girls of DC line, including a new Poison Ivy, Catwoman, and Wonder Woman. New 52 busts, a new quarter scale Batman statue, and concept art for a Dark Knight Returns Batman vs Superman statue.

Part 2 of 3 DC Direct 2012 updates! I’m saving what I consider the best for last. In this update, the upcoming Just-Us Mad Magazine figures, Spy vs Spy vinyl series, new Ame-Comi announcements including Arisia, Brainiac, Harley Quinn V2, Holiday Catwoman (last 3 not pictures), new Batman Black and White statues including a Darwyn Cooke one and a Bane, plus the animated Saint Walker statue.

These are magazine scans so I don’t believe they’re supposed to be announced for a bit yet but you guys get a sneak peek into some surprisingly exciting DC Direct news for 2012! There are enough pictures that I didn’t want to cram them into a single article so prepare for a few over the next couple of hours. Starting with the DC Direct Dark Knight Rises statues and busts.

Credit to Idle Hands for their excellent coverage!

Starting with : 6 inch Batman, Bane, and Catwoman figures! Though since they don’t look articulated, they’re more like mini and affordable statues. After that, check out the Batman, Bane, and Catwoman 12 inch statues, followed up by the Batman, Bane, and Catwoman busts. I wouldn’t be surprised if they pumped out some action posed statues either.

Here’s some exciting LEGO news! A sneak peek of some of their most fun looking lines for next year, the Monsters one, the Hobbit, and Marvel (possibly just Avengers?). More details as they’re available!

For you classic X-Men fans, Bowen Designs is bringing out a Thunderbird statue. Gotta say, I never thought I’d see 3 Thunderbird statues within 2 years or so. Or really, 3 Thunderbird statues at all! (Sideshow/Kotobukiya/Bowen Designs) Here’s a look at it.

Edit : It’s been brought to my attention I was talking about Warpath, not Thunderbird. WHOOPS. Comic cred has gone down.

Hot Toys wasn’t going to let Kotobukiya start off the Avengers thunder without a response! Here’s a sneak peek of their first Avengers movie figure, Nick Fury.

Kotobukiya is quick to the gate with the first official Avengers movie statue preview! Here’s their Iron Man Mark VII release, this is the one that
