SDCC 2012: Super7 photo


As usual, Super7 brought a ton of awesome collectibles to San Diego Comic Con, and this year, there was some unexpected surprises to go with the kaiju. The biggest newsmakers from the Super7 crew were from the new licenses they've announced at the show, first and foremost being Alien and Transformers. In terms of Transformers, we can expect a 24-inch Super Shogun Optimus Prime, along with a line of Japanese vinyl toys inspired by the old-school robots in disguise! There will be fast-food restaurant-inspired drinking glasses, T-shirts, and limited edition art prints featuring the Autobots and Decepticons as well!

The Alien figures were based on unreleased Kenner prototypes from 1979 of 3.75-inch figures of Ripley, Dallas, Kane in his Nostromo suit, Ash and the titular xenomorph. Super7 is making them as part of their ReAction Figures line, and they'll feature five points of articulation along with all the stylings of a late-1970s figure. At the booth were the xenomorph and Kane, which you can check out in our gallery. Super7 will also be making some retro glasses for Alien based on those you might find at restaurants in the 1970s.

Also at the booth were some future releases from Super7 alongside their SDCC exclusives, including Krooked Priest, a new vinyl figure by artist and skateboarder Mark Gonzales; the prototype head for the long-awaited Super Shogun Boba Fett; some very cool one-off customs from Josh Herbolsheimer and Brian Flynn like a Mummy Tank and Mummy Gator Casket Cruiser; the Destroy All Kaiju line's Crystal Mecha and Chris Cooper's El Diablo; and the Mascot DX line's Odd Galaxy's Stinson. Check out everything in the gallery and let us know what you like!

Check out this sculpture of an Alien embryo in a jar

NYCC 2012: Kotobukiya show display

So what did Kotobukiya bring with them to New York Comic Con this year? Maybe it would be better to ask what they didn't bring? The Koto booth is packed with an impressive display ranging from US$9.99 Evangelion ice tray...

Custom Lego Xenomorph gets a bit prehistoric

We've seen a lot of Lego custom designs thrown around, but this is definitely one of the more badass and scarier models. Deviantart member Retinence has produced some awesome Lego models before, with a Gyarados from Pokemon e...

SDCC 2012: NECA's Booth (part one)

NECA's booth was just chock full of awesome things. Unfortunately (for me), a lot of these things have little to do with each other (except for the repeated instances of Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger), so the g...
