Also making its debut will be a Hollywood Jem doll from "Jem and the Holograms," as well as toys from Transformers and My Little Pony.
Toy exclusives make up a key part of the Comic-Con experience; people are wiling to shell out hundreds if not thousands of dollars for toys that will be available only at the convention.
Hasbro unveiled its official line-up of limited edition action figures and assorted playthings that will be offered exclusively at the annual San Diego celebration of all things geeky.
One of the highlights will be aStar Wars collector’s pack, featuring one character from each of the six movies in a hexagon packaging which resembles the packaging abandoned by toy company Kenner in the 1970s when it chose one with a black and silver look. Expect to shell out $79.99 for the set, which also comes with a hidden Jar Jar Binks in Carbonite figure in the centre.
Marvel characters will have a presence with anUncanny X-Force collector’s pack featuring Wolverine, Archangel, and Psylocke from The Fall of Archangel storyline ($44.99), plus a Masters of Evilpack (Baron Zemo, Radioactive Man and Tiger Shark, $29.99). The piece de resistance, however, may be the giant SHIELD Super Hericarrier that is four-feet long (!). If you include the packaging, it’s five-feet long. The cost: $129.99.
There are also two G.I. Joe editions – action figure of female ninja Kim Arashikage ($14.99) and Joe/Transformers mash-up H.I.S.S. tank with Shockwave decoration ($64.99). Speaking of Transformers, there will be a Terrorcon Cliffjumper figure ($24.99) from the Transformers Prime TV show, plus a combiner set where five figures link together to become the Decepticon Bruticus ($99.99).
On the softer side, Hasbro will have a special edition of a Jem and the Holograms doll. TheHollywood Jem 12-inch doll will sell for $125. Also on tap is a Pegasus pony from the My Little Pony line ($19.99), which has become a surprisingly popular property at Comic-Con.
The toys will be available starting July 11, commonly known as Preview Night.
