TRANSFORMERS SDCC 2014 EXCLUSIVE
Hey! The Transformers SDCC 2014 Exclusive has been revealed, but why is not one excited about it. I personally think that it was a genius idea to combine Transformers with Glam Metal, as they both got their start around the same time.

Everyone’s favorite really angry Spartan Warrior from God of War makes his debut in the Funko Pop! series and is now available to buy in stores and online. Read more about the God of War Kratos Pop! vinyl figure here.

With Mezco’s San Diego Comic-Con 2014 exclusives going up for pre-order this week, they had to finish off all of the big reveals. They revealed, Sons of Anarchy Keychains, a Saul Goodman Bobblehead, Breaking Bad Keychains, and a whole lot more on their website.

BATTLE-DAMAGED 18-INCH GYPSY DANGER
Even though the movie wasn’t that successful in the US, the toys sure are! NECA’s 18-inch figures have got a lot of collectors excited about what’s to come in the future. We already know about Knifehead coming soon, but what if I told you that a new Gypsy Danger is coming with a LED Plasma Cannon Arm?
PREVIEWS EXCLUSIVE INFINITY GAUNTLETS
Acquire the power of the universe with the Infinity Gauntlet Bank and Key Ring from Monogram now available to pre-order in the June issue of PREVIEWS. Of course, you can also pre-order them at most online retailers as well.
THREEZERO’S ATLAS TITAN PRE-ORDER
Threezero has finally announced the pre-order for their Atlas Titan figure based on the hit Titanfall game. He’s expensive, coming in at $430USD, but he’s also priced similar to other large figures that have been released by other companies. He’s epic, and if you loved the game, you are going to die for this figure.
BANDAI JAPAN ANNOUNCES STAR WARS LICENSE
One of the biggest surprises for me this week was that Bandai Japan announced the Star Wars license. This allows them to make various action figures, statues, and other collectibles. Their first offerings were on display at the Tokyo Toy Show this past weekend.
STAR WARS BLACK SERIES WAVE 5 AND DELUXE FIGURES PRE-ORDER
Have you started to collect the 6-inch Star Wars Black Series figures and now you’re a little disappointed that you can’t find any good characters in the store? Hasbro has finally realized that some figures are liked more than others, so they are releasing a revision case with some of the most popular characters. Apart from that excitement, Hasbro has also put up the standard case of wave 5 figures up for pre-order, along with their first wave of deluxe figures!

3 NEW ENTERTAINMENT SDCC 2014 EXCLUSIVES
Entertainment Earth has announced 3 new SDCC exclusives. They are based on SNL, Game of Thrones, and Star Trek. I suspect that the Game of Thrones Dragon Egg exclusive is going to be extremely popular.
STAR WARS HOT WHEELS
In a previous Toy News Roundup I told you about a Star Wars Hot Wheels SDCC 2014 exclusive. This week, Mattel released some more photos of the car.
EVER AFTER HIGH SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON 2014 EXCLUSIVE
Ever After High made its debut last year and since then it has taken off and become extremely popular. Don’t ask how popular, because I don’t play with girl dolls. BUT, it’s definitely popular enough to warrant a SDCC 2014 exclusive Ever After High Cerise Wolf doll.
CANTINA SHOWDOWN DELUXE STAR WARS BLACK SERIES FIGURE SET
If you collect the Star Wars Black Series figure and buy your toys at retail, you may have noticed Han Solo and Greedo shelf warming just about every store. I guess the figures just aren’t that popular and Hasbro has come up with a new way to sell the characters with a Cantina Showdown diorama figure set.
BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER POP! VINYL FIGURES
Funko has announced Buffy the Vampire Slayer Pop! Vinyl Figures. You are going to able to buy Buffy, Willow, Angel, The Gentlemen, Oz, Spike, and a very special edition Vampire Spike. Yeah! Chase figures are back for this series!
