WonderCon 2013 is in full swing, and Steve and Dave are currently in Anaheim covering all the convention goodness here on Collider for those that are unable to make the trek.  Steve walked the floor earlier today and managed to snap images of some of the cool things he spotted, which includes some great looks at the Man of Steel action figures.  While we’ve seen images of these figures before, Steve’s photos give us a close-up, detailed look at a number of characters from one of the year’s biggest movies.

Hit the jump to take a look at the DC Collectible action figures for Superman (Henry Cavill), General Zod (Michael Shannon), Jor-El (Russell Crowe), and Faora (Antje Traue).  Man of Steel opens in 3D on June 14th.

Yesterday, we reported that toymaker NECA was planning to release action figures based on Aliens as well as a replica of the gravity gun from Half-Life.  Now they have even more good stuff on the ways: Django Unchained dolls!  Yes, you can play in your very own Big House with dolls for Django (Jamie Foxx), Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz), Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio), Butch (James Remar), Stephen (Samuel L. Jackson), and Broomhilda (Kerry Washington).  While NECA are calling these “action figures”, these toys are dolls.  Dolls have cloth clothing.  The only thing missing is a pull string that makes the dolls utter racial epithets.

New IRON MAN 3 Action Figure Images Preview Armor Details

by     Posted 182 days ago

A batch of new images of some upcoming action figures for Marvel’s Iron Man 3 have landed online.  Though they’re not super clear, these images may hint at what fans can expect from the Shane Black-directed film.  In the film’s first trailer, we saw Tony Stark’s Malibu home being destroyed and Iron Man dropping into the water like a ton of bricks.  Marvel’s Kevin Feige has made no secret of the fact that they want to get Tony metaphorically “back in the cave” from the first film with this sequel, and armor seen on these action figures seems to suggest that Tony Stark will find himself with limited resources following the aforementioned attack.  We also get a look at what could be Tony’s new ride in the form of a toy car.

Hit the jump to take a look at the action figure images.  Iron Man 3 opens in 3D on May 3, 2013.

With Marvel releasing both Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger this summer, you can expect plenty of movie related action figures to hit store shelves.  While not all the figures have to do with their movie counterpart, I think they’re still worth checking out.

Even though some of you aren’t on board with the look of Thor, I think everything looks fantastic.  Also, hypothetically speaking, if I were to have spoken to a few people that saw a test screening of Thor, they might have told me the film was great.  I can’t wait to see it for myself.  Hit the jump for the new toys:

First Look at a Frost Giant Action Figure from Kenneth Branagh’s THOR Movie

by     Posted 2 years, 238 days ago

While Marvel showcased many action figures from both Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger at this year’s Comic-Con, you knew they had to be holding at least a few things back.  Now, thanks to the magic of eBay, the first image of a Frost Giant action figure has been released.  If you’re not familiar with the universe of Thor, here’s what wikipedia has on them:

These giants, also known as Etins are enormous beings who reside in the other-dimensional realm of Jotunheim, one of the Nine Worlds in Asgardian cosmology. They are the traditional enemies of the gods of Asgard, with whom they have fought with for millennia, trying to bring eternal night to Asgard.

If you’re a fan of Tron, start saving your money.  That’s because while most of us thought Disney would offer our first look at all the upcoming Tron: Legacy toys at Comic-Con, the floodgates have opened and you can check out high-resolution images of all the upcoming Tron inspired toys.  Also, the line incorporates impulse light projection technology on the action-figures.  You’ve really got to see them to believe it.  When I was a kid, I was happy if I could bend the action figure in more than a few spots.  Kids nowadays are so spoiled….

Included in the line are video game controllers, ballpoint pens(!?!), backpacks, posters, computer peripherals, iPod docks, light cycles, deluxe vehicles, action figures, snow boots, and more.  We’ve also got video of all the products and one of the toys even defies gravity!  As I said, start saving your money:

Toy Fair 2010 Features Action Figures from JONAH HEX, CLASH OF THE TITANS, PRINCE OF PERSIA, and More

Other than all the ones on my desk and the ones filling a Rubbermaid tub in my closet, I don’t have much to do with action figures.  But some people do go nuts over them and enjoy keeping them in their packaging, never opened, and completely defeating the purpose of a toy (unless that purpose is showing it to a small child and then making them cry).  However, upcoming toys sometimes tie into upcoming movies and that’s the case with figures that debuted at this year’s Toy Fair.

After the jump you can snag a look [via Figures.com] at the plastic forms of Megan Fox and Josh Brolin in Jonah Hex, Sam Worthington in Clash of the Titans and Avatar, a very cool glove and very creepy puppet from the remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street, and the really crappy-looking figure of Jake Gyllenhaal as Prince Dastan in Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.
