YouTube - Goblin Bloggin’: Doin’ It Again.

Reminder, there’s one more day remaining on all the World of Springfield Simpsons figures I’m getting rid of.  Some GREAT figures are up for auction, and I’d like to free up some space in the Major Spoilers Toy Closet.

Check the eBay auctions here!

I’m in the process of cleaning out the Major Spoilers Toy Closet (something that is taking forever).  The toy collection goes back nearly 20 years and contains a variety of figures (some are for sale), and I’m constantly amazed at the number of different styles a particular character can take.

This brings me to…

Yes, take the jump and see all the Darkseid incarnations.

Hey Everybody!

I’m sorry for the obvious AD placed right here, but there comes a time in every person’s life, when it is time to give up a little something to keep something bigger and better (this site) going.

I’m clearing out space in the Major Spoilers Comic Book Room and am selling a huge portion of my Simpsons action figure collection.

If you are fan of the Simpsons, and want to help a brother out - check the auctions after the jump.

Diamond Select Toys has announced it will be giving away its Battlestar Galactica Chief Tyrol action figure to the first 750 people to give blood during the Robert A. Heinlein Blood Drive at the San Diego Comic-Con.

“After the last three years’ extremely successful campaigns, we’re delighted to once again be contributing to the Robert A Heinlein Blood Drive,” said Chuck Terceira, Director of Diamond Select Toys in a prepared statement.  “They’ve broken three consecutive records, so we’re hoping for even more blood to be donated this year!”

Wouldn’t it have been cooler to give away that SDCC exclusive blood splattered Cylon to those that participated?

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle New York Comic Con exclusives sold out lightning fast, but fear not turtle fans, NECA has announced its 2008 San Diego Comic Con exclusive will feature the turtles in the half shel as they appeared in 1984 - black and white, baby!

San Diego Comic Con will be the first place to pick up the Black & White Turtles anywhere, so be there! As a special bonus, the set will feature a 4″ x 6″ certificate hand-signed by Peter Laird.

Yes, this exclusive will also be limited to 500, so you best hope you have your preview night tickets already, or you are going to be out on this one too.

Diamond Select Toys has announced the online retailer Big Bad Toy Store will be the exclusive distributor of the Marvel Select Red Hulk. While the sculpt is similar to the green golliath, the head change and paint job set this figure off from the rest.

Fresh from his debut in Hulk #1, this mysterious mayhem-making menace has just begun his assault on the Gamma-powered individuals of the Marvel Universe and he’s shown no signs of slowing! As with the upcoming Marvel Select Hulk figure, the Red Hulk stands approximately ten inches tall and features multiple points of articulation as well as a rubble-heavy base.

Pre-orders are being accepted now for the figure that will ship in the fall. The figure is a tad pricey at $24, but it also stands 10-inches high.

Now here is a San Diego Comic Con figure exclusive I’m actually excited about. With all the hoopla surrounding the return of the Skrulls - or rather the revealing of the Skrulls that have been around for a long time - Diamond Select Toys has unveiled the Elektra Skrull action figure.

In addition to getting Matt Murdock’s girlfriend all glammed up in green paint and funky chin (sorry no Jennifer Garner likeness), the seven-inch figure will also include a variety of martial arts weapons, and interchangeable arms and legs. Best of all the figure is packed with her very own Skrull soldier - not just any Skrull soldier, but the creepy old school outfit Skrull.

The Skrull two-pack will be available at the San Diego Comic Convention for $20.

Man, I long for the days of toys like MEGO Hulk and Spider-Man

All the figures are sculpted by Jean St. Jean Studios and will stand 7-inches tall.

Take the jump for two cool shots of the figures.

Okay, so it is more like the Kara clone Galatea from the Justice League Unlimited, but it is probably the closest thing we’re going to get to a JLU figure based on the busty heroine.

There are a lot more photos of the new JLU figures (including Captain Atom and a well done Giganta) over at Action Figure Insider.

All of the photos were taken by con attendees, which reminds me; Did anyone go to the show and want to share their photos? Contact Stephen Schleicher and we’ll get them up for all to see.

EW.com has the first images of the Watchmen action figures based on the upcoming Zack Snyder movie from Warner Bros.

The figures look spectacular, I just hope they are truly action figures instead of nicely molded pieces of plastic that end up as inexpensive maquettes for those who can’t afford the real deal.

If you happen to be in New York and are attending the New York Comic Con, DC Direct will unveil the first four prototypes on Friday, April 18.

BTW: Both figures will arrive in stores in January 2009 with a price tag of $14.99.
