TOY NEWS FOR 12/30/2013 - HASBRO - 3.75" AVENGERS INFINITE SERIES (MARVEL UNIVERSE) - SERIES 1

TOY NEWS FOR 12/30/2013 - OFFICIAL PICS!!!

 Thanks to MarvelousNews.com for the pics.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So here is the official replacement for Hasbro's long-running and now defunct Marvel Universe series-- Avengers Infinite.

All we have to see for this first wave in the line is this scan from Previews Magazine.

Some new figures will be featured including some fan-faves such as:

Captain America - "Heroic Age" Iron Man - Wasp - Hyperion - Marvel Now! Hulk - Grim Reaper

While the print in the solicitation says the figures will be 6", they will actually be 3.75". Also, it's possible that the pricing is wrong at $14.99-- at least it had better be. Fifteen bucks for a 3.75" would be an outrage to all collectors.

TOY NEWS FOR 12/30/2013 - ACE TOYZ - 1/6 SCALE "THE CEO" (AKA LUCIOUS FOX FROM THE DARK KNIGHT)

With Hot Toys Alfred Pennyworth and Bruce Wayne just announced, this new unlicensed figure of Morgan Freeman as Lucious Fox will make a nice companion piece for Hot Toys' duo.

The likeness on this figure is pretty spot-on, although in some of the pics he almost looks kind of villainous!

No release date is available yet, but the price is set at $117.99-- not bad!

TOY NEWS FOR 12/30/2013 - BANDAI - S.H. MONSTERARTS - FINAL WARS GIGAN

I know it's one of the more awesome and beloved Godzilla films in recent years, but I have not yet seen the Final Wars Godzilla film. But what I do know is that this version of Gigan is freakin' bad-ass looking! So, just that alone makes me want to see the movie.

Once again, Bandai and SH Monsterarts knock it out of the park with this one.

He has an April release date at a Yen price of Y10,584

TOY NEWS FOR 12/30/2013 - HOT TOYS - BATMAN: THE DARK NIGHT RISES - DX BATMAN/ARMORY SET - ARMORY SET WITH ALFRED PENNYWORTH - ARMORY SET WITH BRUCE WAYNE & ALFRED PENNYWORTH

This set is..... freaking mind-blowing.

Hot Toys is giving collector's three purchasing choices with this new set.

The first will be a full Batman DX figure with the Armory. The second will have the DX Batman, Armory and Alfred Pennyworth and the final, super-deluxe set will come with the DX Batman, Armory, Alfred and Bruce Wayne.

I don't know any collector who won't be wanting this set-- especially the final set with all three figures and the Armory. But, man, the cost on just the Batman & Armory set is bound to be at least in the $400 - $450 range, so I can imagine that the three-figure set will be over $600. Possibly well over...

But we may know within the next few hours when Sideshow updates their site on Monday.

In the meantime, feast your eyes on these pictures and try to book some over-time at your day job (or maybe get a second one!)
