frontpage toy news

Action Figure Insider has posted up the newest round of Mattel’s exclusive toy reveals for this year’s upcoming San Diego ComicCon.

“Batman™ Arkham Knight Batmobile ($85)


In the video game, Batman™ battles all-new threats in Gotham City with the help of an arsenal-equipped vehicle. This Batman™: Arkham Knight Batmobilefeatures premium, highly-detailed deco and authentic sounds straight from the game, and much more! The tires can do a complete 360-degree spin, allowing the vehicle to turn on a dime… very handy for pursuing villains. When the top of the vehicle is pressed downward the firepower is revealed: on the left side, a riot suppressor rubber bullet gun, and on the right side, a high-powered Gatling gun, both with sounds and light effects – straight from the game! Hold the activation button longer than three seconds to create a red glow, simulating heat transferring, and press the rear button to turn on the headlights and play the game’s iconic Bat-swarm sound effect. There are also controls to rev the engine, to see the exhaust light up, and for the sound of the cannon. The vehicle comes with an articulated DC Comics™ Multiverse Arkham City Batman™ figure with a fabric cape allowing Batman™ to sit in the driver’s seat!

This product will be available for pre-order at MattyCollector.com on June 24, 2014, to be picked up at San Diego Comic-Con. It will also be available for purchase at the show. DC Comics™ Total Heroes™ Ultra Cyborg ($25)


Tech-equipped Cyborg joins the Total Heroes™ lineup! As homage to the Super Powers Cyborg figure, this figure has silver VUM deco, and arrives with two interchangeable heads, his classic look and an updated stylized version, as well as three sets of hands. This hybrid of man and machine brings with him a tool and gear for just about any job he might encounter, including a Mega Blade, a Concussion Cannon and a Sonic Scrambler (all of which fit onto his arms), and a Jetpack with Airfoil Wings so he can take to the air!

This product will be available for pre-order at MattyCollector.com on June 24, 2014, to be picked up at San Diego Comic-Con. It will also be available for purchase at the show, then at MattyCollector.com on August 5, 2014. Disney•Pixar Cars 2014 Special Edition Neon Racers Gift Pack ($50)


Welcome to Japan! Shu Todoroki is hosting an endurance night race from Mt. Fuji to Tokyo’s colorful Ginza District. Get ready to experience the exciting world of neon racing!

In Japan, the presentation of a gift is as important as the gift itself. You can experience this Japanese tradition with the 2014 Special Edition Neon Racers Gift Pack. The specially designed furoshiki, Japanese wrapping cloth, features comic book-style illustrations of the Neon Racers story. Open the wrap and you’ll find a racing diorama with die-cast characters Lightning McQueen and Shu Todoroki illuminating the streets of Tokyo in their amazing customized lighting and neon deco. Please enjoy! Tanoshinde kudasai! This product will be available for pre-order at MattyCollector.com on June 24, 2014, to be picked up at San Diego Comic-Con. It will also be available for purchase at the show.“

[CUSTOMS] Nuclear Man (by Dravenheart)

Dravenheart from the Chaos Crew showcases his talent and affinity for (semi-?) obscure characters with a great take on DC’s super villain, Nuclear Man.

“Noticing I have a trend lately with cast heads. lol This seemed like an absolutely insane choice of character, and I almost put the project aside about three or four times during the week I made him. But, when I was younger, I liked the thought of Nuclear Man. Mainly because it was the second time Superman fought another super powered being. Now we have more options. lol But, it crossed my mind and I didn’t see many other attempts at the character. One or two, but that was about it. So, I looked up some images and came across this one from the old tie-in comic. He was really simple overall, save for that emblem. That was a pain.”

From the desk of TheVP:

“I love GI Joe and I love transformers, so when I heard about Acid Rain military-ish transforming vehicles I already knew I was in.

A kind of blocky anti-aircraft tank vehicle I guess, would provide some armored cover for the ground forces. The paint apps are excellent as you can feel the texture, has two flip down foot rests on the outside arms for extra troops to stand on, cockpit seats one figure. has a panel that lifts down to put batteries in but I didnt have any of those type of batteries, but apparently it has a pew pew sound.”

From the workshop of ska_lives:

“So a while back I made my first Fem-Viper, and shortly afterwards I scored a custom sculpt body and female viper heads. Thus I created this beauty. It took me forever to get this custom finished due to a combination of procrastination and having to sculpt up the lower torso to fill the gap between the two halves (torso stem was too long). Anywho, I hope you guys dig it, and as always commentary and crits are accepted!”
