BrutalGamer Bringing you Brutally Honest feedback from today's entertainment industry.
Lots of cool toys and just some generally neat stuff hit the September issue of comic ship mainstay, Previews magazine. There’s something for everyone including bottle openers, all-new Minimates, and one awesome throwback Cap figure!
If you’re into MEGO’s, those superhero ‘dolls’ of yesteryear, then you’re going to love this. DST has a special Captain America action figure box set that’s a tribute to those toys from the ’70s and a part of the Marvel Retro line that they’ve been working on.
In the box, you’ll find three different versions of the Sentinel of Liberty including classic, modern, and soldier Steve Rogers, plus a bunch of accessories. Super cool stuff. While Cap would probably be my pick of the litter, the Buck Rogers and Godzill Minimates would run a close second and third. They’re just so neat.
Have a look at the full list of offerings below and in the gallery and then head on down to your local comic or specialty store to pre-order something for yourself. Everything you see here is featured in the September issue of Diamond Select’s Previews magazine and will be shipping sometime soon to stores.
