This has been a surprisingly cool line, even if it is a tad overpriced. However, I’m thinking this Supergirl won’t be as well received as the rest, the face looks pretty bad. Though there’s alwayas the chance that they’ll improve it.
Kotobukiya has released a few Batman statues, including a fantastic Jim Lee Batman and this, their Jim Lee Catwoman Statue.

This year just keeps getting better and better for Revoltech. Here’s a few of the figures they showed off at the Wonderfest toy expo.

It’s not much, but since this is one of my most anticipated collectibles coming this year, even though it’ll probably be a grand, I figured it’d be worth posting whatever info gets revealed. This is direct from Ashley Wood on the 3a boards.
“rex has many small part, as he is fully articulated. Infact i would say he has more part than most toys, all ABS~”
“we can make anything, detail is easy, small bit are no hassle, it depends on the design.”
”Rex is ____ off amazing, no one can match it, same with Ray. MGS fans will appreciate it, they know my heritage with MGS, I deal directly with Shinkawa san on this stuff!”
”it will make for the best MGS toys period”
“that sample was 3 generations ago, way better now” (in regards to the prototype shown earlier)
Looks pretty huge considering you can see how in scale it is to that one figure.
So far they’ve announced they’re releasing 2 full-size 1:1 replica weapons from the movie. Fairly low edition sizes, and no doubt shipping will be expensive, but since they’re being created by the same people that made the props in the first place, I’m sure accuracy and quality will be top notch.

In case the names don’t ring any bells, Enterbay is the company that released the amazing 12″ Jack Bauer and Onimusha is a Capcom game franchise which was quite popular on the PS2. They showed off a sneak peek on their blog. More details as they’re released!
This was the run when Captain America came back to the world after the Heroes Reborn business. You know, when all the heroes died blah blah tons of awful storytelling, one of the crappiest Marvel events, I’m sure you all remember it.
The first arc starts a little weak. Hydra’s up to their usual shenanigans, Cap keeps busting them up, everyone in America goes crazy with CAP FEVER. As I was reading it, it struck me as a little lame. I was glad to find out that it was intentional, the previously mentioned CAP FEVER was part of a clever scheme.
While there’s some blips in the writing and the art, they’re both solid enough at the start. There’s enough new ideas and interesting themes that I wasn’t bored. The quest for what the American Dream really is was a good idea for Cap, the photon shield, maybe not so much.
As the series continues, I found it became weaker and weaker. The American Dream arc ends in a strange way, the Red Skull arc wasn’t very enjoyable, the payoff involving Cap’s shield wasn’t terribly well done…I wouldn’t say mediocre, but every new arc seemed a little less enjoyable than the last.
As I read through the series, this didn’t really change. It touches on a discarded super soldier, Cap’s girlfriend, plenty more on A.I.M., Bucky’s death, but it just felt hollow. By the end, there was little I enjoyed in the issues. Unfortunately, I can only recommend reading the first two or so arcs, skip the rest.
2.5/5
Buying Options : I don’t believe this is available in trade paperback form. You can buy the individual comics online.

Pictures of this sneaked out early, this is apparently the regular head, not the exclusive (which I think looks nicer). Gotta say, I’m very impressed.
