Marvel Universe Gallery Update

Although I’d planned a larger Marvel Universe gallery update, I broke it into two parts so I could get it out quicker. Today’s update, however, includes Marvel Universe Secret Wars Wave 2 (Spider-Woman, Iron Man, Magneto, Spider-Man, Cyclops and the Hulk), the Toys R Us exclusive Marvel Universe henchmen 3-pack featuring the Hydra Agent, SHIELD Agent and Hand Ninja, and the glossy Red Hulk. Also included is a loose comparison of the glossy and matte Marvel Universe Red Hulks.

And to spare me from making another post, the Mezco Cinema of Fear Tiny Terrors checklist has now been updated.

Cinema of Fear Gallery Update

Last night we added the Cinema of Fear Tiny Terrors to the gallery so you can see Freddy, Jason and Leatherface in all their tiny glory. In a related note, although they weren’t nice enough to merit gallery entry, a few days ago I snapped some quick pictures of changes in the Super Hero Squad rereleased figures. Like I said, the pictures were just quick snaps taken for the board, but they show some of the things completists need to look for when hunting these new packs, specifically Captain America’s new eyes (Red Skull’s eyes are different too, pupil circles instead of crescent moons), and the Human Torch’s new color gradient. Tombstone’s color change didn’t come out too well in the photos due to the camera’s flash, but we do have a small gallery of the packaged definitely changed Super Hero Squad rereleases. We’re hard at work with a big Marvel Universe gallery update and hope to have that up soon.

Glow in the Dark Tiny Terrors

Mezco has a limited run of glow in the dark Tiny Terrors up for sale. Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, and Leatherface can now haunt your shelves at night. Teamed up with the Brave and the Bold Action League Gentleman Ghost it seems like Hasbro had better jump on the glow in the dark figure market!

Mezco’s Hellboy Products

First off, the Super Hero Squad-like BPRD Buddies are in stock and shipping from various online retailers, and they’ve gotten at least one good review over on the board. Fans of the 3.75 inch line can see pictures of the upcoming SDCC exclusive Hellboy II The Golden Army Soldier 2-pack over at Action Figure Pictures, while elsewhere on AFP, they have pictures of the Mez-Itz Hellboy figure, which is sort of like a Mighty Mugg (or any of the other similar vinyl toys) for Mezco.

Mezco’s Cinema of Fear up for pre-order

Big Bad Toy Store is the first to put Mezco’s Cinema of Fear Tiny Terrors up for pre-order. Arriving in August, Freddy, Jason and Leatherface can be seen over on Action-Figure.com and are Super Hero Squad/Hasbro Heroes styled horror flick creatures. What more can a person ask for?
