As I mentioned in the last Major Spoilers Podcast, Mattel JLU toys will only be available at Target stores nationwide. This sucks for me, but great news for everyone else.
16 brand new figures along with collector requested repaints and reissues will be available in singles,3-packs and 6 packs. Figures will be out in two waves. Each wave will consist of two 6-packs, two 3 packs and five single carded figures,some with brand new accessories. This line will be sold exclusively at Target stores starting Aug 1, 2008. At this time the line will be an in store exclusive only.
Wave 1 features Superman, Darkseid (both offered previously), Mr. Miracle, Forager, Lashina, and Mantis.
Regardless of what people may say or think, I love the Adam Hughes statues Sideshow Collectibles has put out (That White Queen Comiquette is sweet I tells ya, sweet!). Today Sideshow Collectibles announced the next character to get the AH! treatment will be X-Men’s Rouge!
“The Rogue Comiquette! A statue of our favorite ‘Can’t Touch This’ mutie-cutie, but for all you mylar geezers & aging nerdsters who pine, PINE I say, for the classic green latex outfit. If you can remember when Rogue wore this saucy little number, back when she was a freshly-minted good guy, or even before, when she was an evil (but still cute) mutant with two, TWO I say, white stripes in her hair… well, you’re probably old enough to have spilled New Coke on your parachute pants. The Rogue Comiquette is guaranteed to cause 63% less marital strife than the Emma Frost statue.”
Unfortunately, the Comiquette is not quite ready for her public debut, so be sure to keep an eye on future Sideshow Newsletters for updates and the opportunity to place your Pre-Order for this upcoming AH! babe.
Not much to see at the moment, but take the jump and see the sketch the statue is based on.
As announced yesterday on this site, Harely Quinn will be making an appearance in the next wave of Batman sets. Today, LEGO sent Major Spoilers images of the Harley set (she’s with Batman’s bat-cycle), and as a bonus, an image of one of the Speed Racer movie tie-in sets.
Diamond Select Toys has images of the next waves of Star Trek Minimates. Take the jump for old and not so old versions of Scotty, Kirk, and McCoy, the Borg, DS9, and more.
I really don’t know how exclusive this is, but I’d like to think Major Spoilers has the first image of LEGO’s new Harley Quinn minifig for the next series of Batman play sets.
We’ve already seen the TMNT figures based Eastman and Laird’s designs, now we have a pic of April O’Neil in “Not Final Art Form”.
More Indiana Jones stuff is headed your way in 2008, including a fairly inexpensive Indiana Jones Mini Bust ($55.00). Take the jump for a peek at some of the licensed products from Gentle Giant.

Yes, that Taters of the Lost Ark thing had me pretty down on what Hasbro had planned for the Indiana Jones line, but now that I’ve seen the other pictures – oh doggy!
Sideshow Collectibles has unveiled its first major announcement from Toy Fair 2008 – G.I. Joe 12-inch figures. Take the jump for the complete press release.
Diamond Select Toys has announced it will offer quarter-scale figures based on the Indiana Jones characters from the various motion pictures.
The Indiana Jones Ultimate Quarter Scale line will include characters from all four feature films. Each figure will include cloth outfits and accessories as well as an authentic sound clip from the massive Indiana Jones franchise. This line of hyper-detailed and super poseable figures will begin this summer with Raiders of the Lost Ark Indiana Jones.
Additionally, DST will expand into new categories including banks based on fan-favorite characters and scenes with a variety of features. New lines of bust-style banks and unarticulated figural banks will begin in 2008, blending detailed action-packed sculpts with traditional bank designs. A companion line of feature banks will include everything from sound and voice effects to coin-activated motion features such as whip attacks and booby-traps from the iconic films!
I was never much into the larger figures, but since Raiders of the Lost Ark ranks among my most favorite movies of all time, money might just be handed over for these figures.
My son and I are already playing with our LEGO Indiana Jones playsets… okay, he’s only 8 months old, so most of the playing is being done by your’s truly. In addition to more Indiana Jones sets coming this year, LEGO has also announced new sets from its other licensed toy line, including Speed Racer, and you don’t want to miss the new Batman line that will feature the first Harley Quinn minifig.

You really don’t want to know.
Okay, if you must, it’s another toy from Hasbro based on Raiders of the Lost Ark, called Taters of the Lost Ark. I think I’m gonna pass on this one.
It’ll sell for $15, when it is released May 1, 2008.

Hasbro has announced toy tie-ins for the Marvel Iron Man movie and comic franchise. The Iron Man mask actually looks pretty cool, it’s just too bad it doesn’t come in 30-year-old-comic-nerd sizes.
Hasbro has announced its Hulk toys and products for the Spring 2008 that tie in to the upcoming movie and comic book from Marvel.
