Y’know, I try my best to avoid spoilers even though it’s nearly impossible to do so while being on the internet in any shape or form, but I’ve heard Cap dons his World War II duds because of a costume malfunction. But after thinking about it, what if he puts on the old suit (which I absolutely dig anyway, so I’m glad to see it’s making a comeback) in an attempt to jog Bucky’s memory? They did fight side by side while Rogers was wearing it. I don’t know, just a thought I had.
While not Amazon proper, a third party seller has DC Collectibles Suicide Squad figures for a decent price with Prime shipping!
Harley Quinn
Deadshot
Captain Boomerang
How cool is it we are getting two boomerang themed villains from two different companies in such a short span of time? Now we just need classic versions of each.
McFarlane Toys released info on a second series of Assassin’s Creed figures!

*Exclusive Avatars require Assassin’s Creed Initiates account. Missions and Badges also require Assassin’s Creed Liberation HD, available on Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and PC.
AVELINE DE GRANDPRÉ
The heroine of Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation, and the first playable female Assassin in the series, Aveline de Grandpré fought slavery in the bayous of Louisiana before teaming up with her fellow Assassin, Connor, during the American Revolution. This fan-favorite character is also featured in the Playstation-exclusive bonus missions of Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag.
ASSASSIN ADEWALÉ
This all-new playable Assassin character is the star of Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag’s single-player campaign DLC, “Freedom Cry.” Originally introduced as a crewmember on Edward Kenway’s ship in Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag, Adewale has now taken the oath, become a full Assassin, and is embarking on all-new missions, fighting slavers in Haiti.
CONNOR WITH MOHAWK
As an added bonus, a limited number of Connor action figures will be released with a fierce new look. After killing his Templar nemesis in the final act ofAssassin’s Creed III, the vengeful Assassin began to reject both American and British culture, shaving his hair into a Mohawk and applying war paint to his face. This figure will be available at Walgreens and other select retailers.
Pick up all of these lethal assassins this August and watch out for moreAssassin’s Creed action figures sneaking up behind you this Fall!
And then there’s this…
This was posted on NECA’s Facebook. A behind the scenes look at their studio. Best guess is that it’s for a Planet of the Apes diorama for Toy Fair. But check out the desk. They sure love their Mattel figures. Also makes me feel pretty good about my customizing space, all stampeded with action figures and paint slop everywhere. Love it.
Happy Hour’s over!
