The new DC Multiverse Signature series we posted about a couple of weeks ago is up for pre-order over at Big Boy Toy Store. Unlike the low quality photos we posted earlier, the pre-orders bring us high quality pics as well as product description. As of now only Val Kilmer Batman and 1990’s TV Series Flash are up for pre-order. Not sure when Wonder Woman is going up, but the series is expected to ship this Spring. (more…)
Not sure how I missed this but here is Funko’s unboxing video for this month’s Teen Titans box. The next box’s theme is going to be Green Lantern Corps. (more…)
They’re Action Figures posted some pics and info about some new DC Multiverse figures coming in the near future. Why do we need another Val Kilmer Batman? Who knows, but you can check out the info from their Facebook page below.
UPDATE (11/16 12:40 PST):
Mattel (MAT) doesn’t appear to want to play with Hasbro (HAS). Both stocks are lower after Mattel reportedly rejected a takeover offer from rival Hasbro. Mattel told Hasbro the offer undervalues the company and didn’t factor in the potential rejection from anti-trust regulators. Mattel will reportedly continue to negotiate. (Yahoo financial)
It looks like Hasbro has their eye on Mattel once again. Many would think that the two companies combined would dominate the market. Realistically, the result of a combined Hasbro and Mattel would be a large company, but far from dominant in the fragmented toy industry. Together, they would control one third of the US market for traditional toys and games, and just 22% globally. The rise of companies such as Lego, Funko, NECA, Just Play, and others are starting to offer a counterbalance with their growing market share. (more…)
I don’t understand why Funko posts a spoiler in social media and then says, “We know the urge to share this on social media is strong, but please remember that not everyone is ready for spoilers.” Anyway, I must admit the POP! Is pretty cool. (more…)
