Upcoming HALO Reach action figures (McFarlaneToys)

Hey u all out there -

is anyone in Singapore excited about the upcoming HALO 3: Reach game coming in September? How about the action figures coming from McFarlane Toys ? seems to me the HALO figures are not as popular now as when it first came out 3 years ago (maybe pricing and availability has to do with this, with the demise of the previous McFarlane toys local distributor...)

Anyway, for those who have seen the official shots of some of the new characters for the Reach series (head to bungie.net for a wealth of HALO game information), there are some pretty cool looking figures / Spartans featuring the Noble 6 team; how I wish Hot Toys has the HALO license - they will do kick-ass 1/6 scale versions!!

Invasion! Toys will be bringing in the new HALO 3 Reach action figures from McFarlane Toys scheduled for release late Sept / early October, including the 2-packs pictured above.

Also due for release are deluxe vehicle series featuring the Warthog (finally!!)
and Ghost with Elite figure.

Stay tuned for more news / pics as when available!

Cheers
David

Recommended reading : "Chew" comix!

Hey all,

i know! this Blog hardly sees any updates (except taking new orders for toys!)
I need to improve on this, I promise!

anyways - I would like to recommend a brilliant comic called "Chew" (Image Comics) -
it is quite unlike anything out there, with well-crafted characters, witty dialog and brilliant not-too-cartoony artwork;

the main hero has a unique talent: Tony Chu, a cibopath who gleans psychic information from anything that he eats...except beets.

read more in an interview with the comic co-creator here:
http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=26567

The first collected trade (six issues) can be ordered (I can help! I sell comix too!);the next volume will be out sometime june or july;

Give this a shot ! is seriously fun and for those jaded with superheroes or gritty cop/crime drama, this is a fun alternative.

Cheers

New Bowen Marvel Statues up for orders:

Scheduled for end July / early August, Bowen studios is releasing two very nice
Marvel 12-inch statues:

1) Black Widow
A Bowen Designs Sculpt! Trained in the Soviet Union to be the world's ultimate assassin, Natasha Romanova is known by the lethal skills she displays as the Black Widow, leaving bodies in her wake. Long an ally of the Avengers, this dangerous damsel is sculpted by Tim Miller as a 12" tall statue, wearing her trademark black body suit with a gun in her hand and her red hair flowing across her shoulders.

2)Extremis armor Iron Man
A Bowen Designs Sculpt! Badly injured in battle as Iron Man, Tony Stark sought to save his life by injecting himself with a techno-organic virus to rebuild his body. As a consequence, Stark's Iron Man armor fused with his body, turning him into a cyborg of sorts; the armor could conceal itself within his bones, while his brain became able to connect to computers and other electrical devices. The newer, sleeker armor that resulted was called the Extremis Armor, and this high-tech armor is sculpted by Avinash Hegde as a 12" tall statue.


Ordering details mailing list issued, please contact me if interested;
deadline is May 25th.
