figures to the U.S., and the prices are right!  The first two releases are
transforming Super Valkyries from Macross - Max's blue-detailed VF-1A and
Hikaru's Red-detailed one.  The best part of these figures is the price -

APPLESEED - SNAP KITS & TEREUS:
More Appleseed joy, direct from Japan!  Hot Toys is bringing Tereus, the
third in its Appleseed Saga Ex Machina line of poseable model kits, to the
U.S. this August.  This line of Movie Masterpiece figures has 1/6 scale
figures with great articulation and poseability as well as detailed
costumes and accessories.  In Appleseed Ex Machina Tereus is a bioroid who
replaces Deunan's original partner Briareos on the ESWAT team.  Now he can
partner up with you, too!  We've also got cases of blind-boxed Appleseed
snap kits coming, so you can get the whole cast of characters and display
them nicely together.  Check them out here

ROGUE COMIQUETTE:
Rogue may live the hectic life of an X-Man now, but when she first
appeared as an accomplice to her 'mother' Mystique, Rogue was a super
villain with only the ability to steal powers and memories by touch.  This
comiquette hearkens back to her appearance in Avengers Annual 10, in which
she beat up thor, Iron Man and the rest of the Avengers, and ended up
semi-permanently absorbing Ms. Marvel's super strength, invulnerability
and danger sense.  This 16" statue is a great gift for any comic fan, and
you can get yours later this year for under $150!
http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=SSC10588&mode=retail


COOL GIRL CATWOMAN - NEW COLOR VERSION:
From Takara's Cool Girl line of 12" figures comes a new verwsion of
catwoman, this time in a purple outfit.  The Cool Girl figures are known
for their accuracy and poseability, and judging by the original version,
New Color Catwoman shouldn't disappoint.  This import to arrive in August,
and you can check the pics out here -
http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=TAK10834&mode=retail


IRON MAN HELMETS - MARK I & MARK III

Helmet replicas from the new Iron Man movie, and just in time for the
movie's release.  Not only are they bringing us the original Mark I helmet
and the crimson and brass Mark III, With the small numbers of the limited

this guy to gaurd your stuff this fall, and check him out here -

GENX CORE INDIANA JONES:
Takara's GenX Core line is the male counterpart of the Cool Girl line,
with larger, heavier male bodies, yet the same attention to detail and
articulation.  If it is anything like the Batman Begins GenX Core figure,
this 1/6 Scale figure of Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones from The Kingdom
of the Crystal Skull will likely be a beautiful upscale version of the
classic character, with all of the bells and whistles one could want
included.  We don't have a picture yet, but they're selling fast - if you
would like one, pre-order here -

the Sith and pre-order her today!

ALIEN VCD:
Coming from Medicom later this summer, the new Alien VCD combines the
cuteness of the VCD line with the horrific looks of the original Alien

Alien will be ready to terrorize your house this fall - just keep him out
of the shadows and you should be fine!

THE HELMET OF THOR, LORD OF ASGARD:
Now that he's ascended to Odin's throne Hlidskjalf following his father's
disappearance, Thor decided that he needs a new look.  Thor's new helm as
Lord of Asgard takes his original helm's look and improves on it, changing
it from a soldier's cap to a leader's helmet.  The side wings have become
more blade-like and sharp looking, with the center point being minimized
and additional ornamental details added.  Keep an eye out for this full
sized, wearable helm this summer - get a glimpse of it here -
http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=MUS10032&mode=retail

IKKI TOUSEN DRAGON DESTINY - KANU UNCHOU IN RED BIKINI:
Ikki Tousen is a series of animes and mangas concerning schoolgirls who do
battle, each one possessed of the spirit of one of the generals from the
Three Kingdoms era of ancient China. Kanu Unchou is the most powerful and
feared of the girls, channeling the spirit of the legendary Guan Yu and
using his massive Crescent Blade.  Of course, even mighty warriors need to
take a day off now and then, and this figure shows her lounging at the
beach, in a red swimsuit and sandals.  Kanu can be all yours this October;

WITCHBLADE ANIME - RIHOKO, REINA & SHIORI TSUZUKI:
The anime version of Witchblade is a completely re-imagined story compared
to the american comic and short-lived series.  In the anime, the
witchblade is part jewel, part genetic power that breaks down your body
over time, with increased use amounting to a greatly-shortened lifespan.
Rihoko is the (foster) daughter of the protagonist Masane Amaha, and
appears here with the fantastic Reina Soho, Neogene blade-wielder and
Rihoko's true mother, and Shiori Tsuzuki, Reina's deranged, fixated
assistant and fellow blade-wielder.  Take a look at six year old Rihoko,
powered-up Reina and dressed-down Shiori at the following links:

COBRA & LADY ARMAROID STATUE:
From the anime and manga Space Pirate Cobra (and its title variations)
comes this 11-1/2" statue of Cobra and his partner, Lady Armaroid.  With a
knife in his left hand and his bot partner slung over his shoulder, it
appears as if Cobra just barely made it out of a scrape, and he's probably
heading into another one.  Sci-fi fans will love statue - see it here -
