Shocker Toys SDCC 2009 Dick Tracy Figures
The fine folks at Shocker Toys sent along a press release with some great promotional shots of the upcoming SDCC exclusive Dick Tracy black and white variants. For those not in the know, many of us here at the Rumorbuster are fans of America’s first, and possibly greatest, detective who is currently closing in on 80 years of publication. IDW has been doing a great job publishing the original strips, and has reached volume 7 in their reprints, while the daily strip keeps plugging along.
As for the toys themselves, there’s two versions, a tommy gun toting variant and a suited handgun version, but both version of the dapper gent will also have colorized versions in Shocker Toys upcoming second wave of Indie Spotlight figures (which are up for pre-order and as of now scheduled to ship in August/September).
The full collection of pictures from the press release are up over on the gallery so you can check them out. In the meantime, here’s a sample of what’s to come:

Dark Avengers Minimates
Actually, there’s a bunch of Marvel Minimate news out there today. First, Marvelousnews had pictures of the upcoming Waves 29 and 30 (featuring Spider-Girl, Black Panther and more), and joining the previously announced Norman Osborne led Thunderbolts Minimates, there’s a bafflingly complex SDCC exclusive set of Dark Avengers coming. You see, it’s a Toys R Us San Diego Comic Convention exclusive, only available at Toys R Us’s and the Entertainment Earth booth at SDCC. So it’s really neither exclusive to Toys R Us or SDCC, or even EE for that matter.
The Champions of San Diego
LA’s greatest super hero team, not counting the Runaways or Avengers West Coast, will be getting a Minimates box set this year at San Diego Comic Con 2009 according to Marvelousnews. Black Widow, Johnny Blaze Ghost Rider, Angel, and Hercules are coming your way. Although we’ll gladly accept corrections, this is should be the first time Black Widow and Hercules get the Minimate treatment, and I think this is the first non-Archangel version of Angel in the line. If only they’d given us Darkstar though!
