Some very cool Marvel Comics collectibles were announced last week and are scheduled to ship during the 4th quarter of 2009. You can pre-order all of them and save 10% off the retail price at Alter Ego Comics.

Bucky Modern Captain America Statue

Steve Rogers may have fallen as Captain America, but his friend and companion from the long-ago days of World War II was there to pick up the shield and carry on as the sentinel of liberty! Bucky became the patriotic superhero, complete with a new costume, and this 12″ tall statue brings Alex Ross’ design to life. Sculpted by Randy Bowen, the statue features blue chromed costume highlights, an interchangeable hand, and an additional base. Painted and ready to display.

Cable Mini Bust

Nathan Summers is a refuge from the future, and humanity’s last hope as the powerful cyborg mutant known as Cable. This sometime ally of the X-Men is sculpted by the Kucharek Brothers as a 7″ tall mini-bust that brings his chiseled visage to life, complete with his cybernetic implants and large gun. Painted and ready to display.

Hyperion Mini Bust

In the alternate universe of the Squadron Supreme, Hyperion is the group’s most powerful member. An Eternal, he has powers of flight, super-vision, super-strength, and invulnerability. This supreme power is sculpted by John Cleary as a 6 1/2″ tall mini-bust. Painted and ready to display.

Infinity Gauntlet Exclusive Minimates Box Set

Before Kings went to War and Waves began Annihilating, six powerful gems and a glove nearly destroyed all of existence. Featuring the stars of the classic Infinity Gauntlet storyline, this all-new Minimates box set includes Adam Warlock and Drax the Destroyer plus the mad Titan Thanos and the Master of Lies – Mephisto! Each two-inch Minimate features 14 points of articulations plus removable and interchangeable parts and accessories!

December Previews Catalog Review

I took some time last weekend to go through the December Previews catalog and a number of things jumped out at me:

Marvel Comics

Agents of Atlas #1 – Really? Wasn’t there an Agents mini series like a year and a half ago that sold next to nothing?

Ultimate Wolverine vs Hulk #1 and #2 (new printings) – Oh my lord!

Astonishing Tales #1 – I’m all for a good anthology series, and this might be it.

Fantastic Four #564 – “a very special Christmas issue”…shipping in January.

Models, Inc. #1 – WTF!!!!

Wolverine Omnibus Vol. 1 – Even though I own nearly everything in this 944 page behemoth, I might just buy it to have a nice, giant hardcover collection of everything.

Toys/Statues

Hellboy II BPRD Ring – Nifty!

Captain America Fine Art Statue – featuring the new costume, (and new Cap).
I’ll be back next month with a review of the January 2009 Previews.
