SDCC Infinite Heroes Starro and Aquaman!

Amongst the Mattel SDCC reveals on G4TV’s Attack of the Show was a Brave and the Bold #28 Boxed Set set with Starro! Shown were Aquaman (making his Infinite Heroes debut, and sure to make this set a big seller), Martian Manhunter, Hal Jordan, Barry Allen as the Flash, and Wonder Woman. Brave and the Bold 28 was the first appearance of the Justice League of America, featuring the fabulous five-some battling the otherworldly conqueror Starro. Batman and Superman are noticeably absent, but that’s ok, we have enough of those guys, right? Head over to the message board to talk about it!

Oh, and Orko and Prince Adam are pretty cool too… but it would be even cooler if we actually get a chance to get them.

Attack of Show to have Mattel SDCC reveals!

After causing a mild quandry on the Matty Collector forums, the airdates for the G4 Network’s Attack of Show Mattel SDCC reveals have been revealed: April 12 and 15! Mattycollector.com says there’s 4 reveals each night, with bonus reveals on Friday, April 16th when “we’ll have the complete list of SDCC products with images PLUS a couple more reveals!” No clue what’s going to be revealed, but they did drop some hints:

a couple of hints… 1) a DCU item will have a ton of accessories, and 2) we have an Avatar™ item that, for the first time, combines a 3-3/4″ figure and a 6″ figure in one package.

OMAC Attacks at Wal-Mart.com

WeaponEversor pointed this out yesterday but unfortunately, I didn’t have time to post: The Infinite Heroes OMAC Attacks 6-pack is available at Wal-Mart.com. Although we don’t have a set in hand yet, Booster Gold and Maxwell Lord are going to go a long way to rounding out the Bwah-ha-ha era Justice League, all those OMACs make great army fodder!

Shazam as the Wizard!

Over at Action Figure Insider’s forums, there’s an awesome thread about the new Infinite Heroes figures showing up, including one surprise: the Billy Batson Captain Marvel as the Wizard figure! For those that don’t know, after the Rock of Eternity was shattered, Billy Batson took the Wizard Shazam’s place. Who’s left for the modern Captain Marvel family? Captain Marvel Jr.? Isis?

New Infinite Heroes!

BStone was absolutely on the ball when he found the first sets of new Infinite Heroes showing up on eBay, complete with new “75 Years of Super Power” packaging (featuring a bubble for Wonder Woman, Superman and Batman, as opposed to the old Monitor hand packaging) and the new collectible button. Auctions include
a Joker repaint (with hat), the long-awaited Two-Face, the Earth-2 Robin, a Hal Jordan Green Lantern with new articulation, and a Black Canary repaint. The only one missing from Big Bad Toy Store’s previous Infinite Heroes pre-order listing is Firestorm, who showed up recently on eBay in the old packaging as figure 58.
