Hi – Here is a quick update from http://www.bigbadtoystore.com about
another great new batch of preorders and more exciting new arrivals.

NEW ARRIVALS
————
BATMAN RETURNS BAT-COWL REPLICA
This large collectible will be the centerpiece of Batman collections and
promises to be quite the conversation piece. The cowl is taken from the
actual movie version and is cast in fiberglass (not wearable,
unfortunately), and comes with a display base with a sculpted utility
belt. It is limited to 500 pieces, and we have it listed at $474.99,
saving you $25 off the MSRP.

Over on HissTank.com, Gyre-Viper has released another swatch of pre-production artwork from Hasbro sculpting legend Bill Merklein. Responsible for many of our favorite G.I. Joe toys from the 80’s, Mr. Merklein has been generous enough to share these details and images with us, and Gyre-Viper has been a huge help getting it out to the public.
Some really, really awesome stuff here. I can’t get enough of it. I’ve mirrored a bunch of the images below.
no images were found
Also, if you love this, don’t forget about Gyre’s many other threads posted with more fantastic work from Mr. Merklein.

For a while now I’ve been talking up the apparent wonders of the upcoming Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes animated series. Although I’ve never been a huge Avengers comic fan, I love Iron Man, Captain America, Hawkeye, and a lot of the Avenger individuals. This cartoon promises a large cast of favorite characters and looks like an awesome ramped up action series in the vein of Justice League.
While the series itself debuts October 20th on DisneyXD, starting TODAY, DisneyXD.com and Marvel.com are debuting some five minute “shorts” with a focus on the individuals. First up to bat is Iron Man!
LOVE this. Really love the looks of this. With G.I. Joe: Renegades and Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, it looks like this could be a great fall for action animation!
