MASS EFFECT FIGURES – SERIES 01, 02 – SETS, SINGLES

The Mass Effect figures are once again up for pre-order, with Big Fish taking over where DC Direct left off.  Both Series 01 and Series 02 are available again, with the sets of four going for $67.99 each ($12 off MSRP), and singles of all eight figures listed at $17.99 each.  The upcoming shipment will also include bonuses – each character includes updated photos, character bio, storyline, and logo, and is packaged with Mass Effect 3 branding.  Each has a pack-in card and bonus downloadable in-game content, which is exclusive and different for each character.

GOD OF WAR III PLAY ARTS KAI KRATOS

The hero of the God of War video game series is now up for pre-order as a part of the Play Arts Kai line.  This series is known for its larger-sized figures that are full of articulation and Kratos appears to continue this tradition; we have it listed at $94.99, although this price may decrease once a domestic supply is found.

VANQUISH PLAY ARTS KAI – SAM GIDEON, BOGEY

The Play Arts Kai line also sees the addition of two characters from the video game Vanquish.  Sam Gideon and Bogey are each listed at $104.99, although these prices may drop as well once a domestic supply is found. (more…)

Just a few interesting items from BBTS’s latest newsletter.

First up is their preorder for wave one of DC Universe All-Stars. This is a really odd line-up, isn’t it? Due out in May 2012.

Next is this incredible badass 14″ Mumm-Ra from Mezco, a companion piece to their 14″ Lion-O. It’s up for preorder for $35 and hits in May.

Square Enix’s Play Arts Kai line is rapidly becoming the Hot Toys of the under-12″ scale. I’m waiting for their Arkham Asylum stuff myself, but they’ve also got Solid Snake and Ninja coming from the first Metal Gear Solid game.  Up for preorder, due in February. (more…)

BBTS has Arkham Asylum Wave 1

Apologies for the lack of updates, been in Vegas for a few days. Fear not, PGPoA will be back at full bore starting later this week!

Anyway, I know a lot of you like the DC Direct Arkham Asylum figures, which have been hard to come by–well, BBTS has the full set available right now. This is apparently the last time they’ll be in stock (until DCD reissues them, if ever), so if you want them, now’s the time.

Check out my reviews of the AA Batman, Joker, and Scarecrow.
