Hot Toys revealed yesterday via Facebook a couple of sneak peeks of their upcoming Man of Steel 1/6 scale collectible figures, based on the upcoming movie. The two figures we were given a peek of is Superman and Jor-El. The figures in this line will no doubt be fast sellers. No word on pricing yet, but stay tuned here for any more information.

Ever since the Arkham City toy line was announced, fans have clamored for a figure of Hugo Strange. He’s the penultimate villain of the game (mostly), so I would think he deserves a figure. Well it seems DC Collectibles agrees, and they’re releasing him as a 2013 San Diego Comic-Con exclusive. This may cause some fans to groan, since it’s not always the easiest thing to get a hold of SDCC exclusives if you don’t go to the show, but I’m sure the figure will find its way to fans that want it. This is definitely better than them not releasing the figure at all, and I can understand the decision to make Hugo Strange a 2013 San Diego Comic-Con exclusive.

Tom asks: If the CIE line has to be planned out a year in advance, according to Toy Guru, to give time for sculpting why don’t we at least know the list of characters planned for the year when the subscription comes out? Even if a substitution has to be made for a figure or two, we would at least know what characters we are investing in rather than waiting for bits and pieces all year long during the current subscription.
We need flexibility in case the inevitable change happens. Figures originally planned for the line from day one often change due to cost or logistic issues and we don’t want to announce something that is still in the planning stages. Things change a lot in the toy industry which is why we wait until we are 100% (or close to 100%^) sure an item will make it to fans before announcing it. And this doesn’t always happen. Often things still get announced and changes happen.
Chaos! asks: Now that we have seen a Action League type Batman figure in the Target exclusive Justice League line, will Mattel try to release the Robin, Grundy, bat creature Batman, Green Lantern Batman, Phantom Batman and Ted Kord Blue Beetle BATB Action League figures that never made it out ? You already gave us Green Lantern Sinestro, Deadman, Kite Plasticman and Bronze Tiger from that line, please give us the others somehow.

I know it’s been a couple of days since the reveal of the upcoming DC Collectibles Batman: Arkham Origins figures, but they just revealed a brand new Arkham Asylum Bane figure to be released, so I thought I’d put everything in this one post! Yes that’s right, good news for Arkham Asylum Bane fans. Many fans have lamented that figure, because for the longest time he’s been extremely expensive on the secondary market. Heck, I even sold mine a couple of months back, just in case DC Collectibles decided to make a new one. I guess I was right! So for those who missed out on him, you get another (better) chance. Bane will be in a two-pack with Arkham Asylum Batman later this year, and will be taller, and have lots more articulation than before.
