Funko POP Vinyl 2016 San Diego Comic-Con Exclusives
As usual, Funko is bringing a whole batch of exclusive goodies to San Diego Comic-Con for collectors to get their hands on. They've been introducing a new wave roughly every other day or so, and since they've done about five waves of announcements for their SDCC releases, we figured now is the time to highlight some of what's in store.
The images above are just some of the exclusives. Others include Funko POP Vinyls for Looney Tunes' Duck Dodgers, Gears of War, The Walking Dead, The Dark Crystal, The Powerpuff Girls and more. To see all the releases so far, check out the respective links for Wave 1, Wave 2, Wave 3, Wave 4 and Wave 5.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens - Anovos Rey Costume Ensemble
If you're desperate for a new Star Wars costume and you've got $600 lying around, then Anovos has you covered. They've just unveiled another one of their upscale replica costumes that will let you dress up in Rey's Jakku ensemble from The Force Awakens. It doesn't come with her trusty staff or the adorable BB-8, but I'm sure you can figure something else out to create those elements for your cosplaying needs.
Star Trek: The Original Series: QMX 1:6 Scale Captain Kirk Figure
In honor of the 50th anniversary of the original series, QMX has a new sixth scale Star Trek figure for Captain Kirk. In addition to his fully articulated body, fabric uniform and custom boots, the figure comes with some pretty sweet accessories and interchangeable parts. Included with Captain Kirk are Type 1 and Type 2 phasers, a communicator, electronic clipboard and stylus, utility belt and even a karate chop hand. You can pre-order the figure for $179.95 right now and it will ship sometime in July.
Alien 3: NECA's Alien Series 8 Figure Line
This month, NECA will start sending Series 8 of the Alien action figure line to retailers, but if you'd rather just get them right now online, the four new figures are available in their eBay store. Series 8 includes characters and xenomorphs from Alien 3, including Ellen Ripley, a Weyland-Yutani Commando, and brown and gray variants of the Dog Alien. They're all 7" scale figures (the aliens are 9" tall) and each will cost you $21.99 plus shipping from NECA's store. That's slightly more expensive then they'll be at a place like Toys R Us, so it might be worth it to wait, though these figures are usually a little difficult to find in stores.
Star Wars: A New Hope - Sideshow Collectibles Unpainted Prototype R2-D2
If you prefer your toys to looks like a rough draft, then Sideshow Collectibles have a new sixth scale figure that you'll want on your shelf. The company has an unpainted prototype version of R2-D2, but it still comes with all the features you'd expect from the Astromech droid. To clarify, the figure is made to look like a prototype of the droid rather than a prototype of the toy of the droid.
R2-D2's dome rotates and lights up, and he also has articulated terrain legs, hinged panels for his secret compartments and tools and more. It'll cost you $120, but for the R2-D2 collector out there, that's actually not too bad. You can choose to pick it up at San Diego Comic-Con or you can have it shipped to your home sometime after the convention.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows Blu-Ray Pack
If you dug the latest Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie and you want to add it to your collection, Amazon has a Blu-ray combo pack available for pre-order that comes with a couple extra goodies. This pack comes with both the first and second movies in the rebooted franchise, and it comes with a Tartaruga garbage truck lunchbox and the four face masks of the heroes in a half-shell. There's no release date yet, but you can pre-order it for $29.96, and with Amazon's pre-order guarantee, you'll get it for a lower price if it goes down before it ships.
Star Trek: Mr. Spock Bluetooth Speaker
Live long and rock on with this Star Trek Bluetooth speaker in the shape of a cartoonish Mr. Spock. In addition to playing your music, the speaker can also say nine different phrases, including "Live long and prosper," and "Hey, that's my damn burrito." All right, that second one is a joke, but Mr. Spock would probably love burritos.
This little speaker also has an omni-directional microphone so you can use it for phone calls, auxiliary and micro-USB connection ports, a rechargeable lithium-ion battery with 5 hour life, a wireless range of 33 feet and it measures about 6-inches tall. It'll cost you $49.99 over at Entertainment Earth and ships in August.
Evil Dead 2: Space Goat's Board Game
Fans of Evil Dead 2, in less than a couple weeks you'll be able to help get an Evil Dead 2 board game off the ground. Space Goat is working with Studiocanal to create a Kickstarter to make a board game out of Sam Raimi's horror sequel that will allow you to fight off Deadites as you gather the pages of Ex-Mortis.
The table top game will come with eight custom figures that between two and six players can utilize for a game meant to last 60-90 minutes. There will be a deluxe edition and standard edition of the game, but any more details on the games will have to wait until the Kickstarter goes live in 12 days. So stay tuned to official product page to find out more.
Captain America: Civil War: Ant-Man and Giant Man Pin Mate Set
Adding to their growing list of San Diego Comic-Con exclusives, Bif Bang Pow! has another Pin Mate set, this turning the tiny Ant-Man and the big Giant Man into wooden figures. Ant-Man is just an inch tall while Giant Man is six inches. There will only be 1200 of the sets available exclusively at the convention from Entertainment Earth, but any that aren't sold there will be sold online sometime after the convention.
Star Wars - Sideshow Collectibles Gold Chrome 1:6 Scale Stormtrooper
For some reason, a gold Stormtrooper is in enough demand that Hot Toys felt the need to make it available for purchase. Originally thought to be an exclusive release at the Hot Toys store in Shanghai, this Gold Chrome 1:6 Scale Stormtrooper, looking like an obnoxiously wealthy version of Captain Phasma, will be available in the United States. The figure will cost you $219.99 with pre-orders available now, though there's no indication of when it will ship just yet.
Transformers: Age of Extinction: Herocross Optimus Prime
Herocross has revealed a new Hybrid Metal Figuration addition, this time for the evasion mode of Optimus Prime from Transformers: Age of Extinction. There will only be 999 available for this figure that will arrive later this year for $141. It has light up eyes and a light up based as well as the ion blaster and sword. For more information check out the official Herocross Facebook post.
Saga: Skybound Alana and Mark Action Figure Two-Pack
If you're a fan of the comic book Saga, then you'll want to head to Skybound booth at Comic-Con to get our hands on the action figure two-pack that includes Alana and Marko, each coming with their signature weapons. The 5-inch figures come from McFarlane toys and will cost you $50 at Saga Shop Booth #2629B.
2001: A Space Odyssey and A Clockwork Orange: Medicom's RAH and MAFEX Figures
There just aren't enough action figures for Stanley Kubrick's classic movies 2001: A Space Odyssey and A Clockwork Orange. Thankfully, Medicom is fixing that with a few figure releases from RAH and MAFEX.
For 2001, MAFEX will have orange and yellow spacesuit figures that will stand just over six inches tall, each with an articulated figure stand to make them look like they're floating in space. Each will cost $55 and is expected in February of 2017.
A Clockwork Orange only has one figure, but it's a nearly 12-inch RAH figure featuring Alex Delarge, complete with a removable pork pie hat, mask, cane and a glass of milk. Plus, you can even move around his shifty eyes. This one is a little more pricey at $274 and will be available sometime in MarchToy Ark has more details, but there's no link to pre-order just yet.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens: Hot Toys Han Solo and Chewbacca
Since Star Wars: The Force Awakens is the last new iteration of Han Solo we'll get to see, you can bet your ass that Hot Toys was going to have a new version of the smuggler, and his pal Chewbacca will be along for the ride. The sixth scale figures will be available as a set or individually, but why would you want to break up the duo.
If you get them together, you'll get 3 thermal detonators, a remote detonator, and 2 Starkiller Base-themed bases attachable to Han Solo and Chewbacca's hexagonal figure stands as bonus accessories. Check the Hot Toys Facebook post for more details, and stay tuned over there to find out when these figures will be available for pre-order.
Mallrats - Silent Bob and Renee Series 2 Figures
Kevin Smith's Mallrats has another series of figures coming out, this time with Silent Bob and Renee getting the toy treatment. Silent Bob comes with the grappling gun, utility belt and interchangeable head. Meanwhile, Renee has a bag, purse, and the sex tape played during the game show. Each figure also has their own diorama bases. The set will cost you $43.99 over at Big Bad Toy Store or will hit shelves sometime this November.
