NECA has revealed the first official shots of their upcoming figures based on the Dante's Inferno video game. EA's Dante's Inferno is based on the epic poem by Dante Alighieri in which he is taken on a journey through hell to witness its punishments. The game will be extremely similar to the popular God of War series of games.

"In the upcoming EA third person adventure, Dante's Inferno, you are Dante. Death has come to steal your love Beatrice's soul and take her to Hell -- but on his way out, you grab his scythe and follow behind. As in Dante Alighieri's epic poem, The Divine Comedy, the poet Virgil guides Dante through the circles of Hell, encountering the embodiments of the seven deadly sins along the way. In the video game, he rides on the backs of demons and slashes his way through each circle on his way to Beatrice, who is being held by Lucifer himself.

To celebrate this slab of videogameular awesomeness, NECA is proud to unveil our first Dante figure. Boasting 30 points of articulation, Dante is truly one of a kind. He carries a Cross in a sheath on his right hip, has an interchangeable right hand, and then, of course, there's the scythe...

An imposing site in itself, Death's scythe stands over eight inches tall! Not only that, but the blade is detachable for hand-held use. It might just be the coolest videogame weapon ever, and it's definitely given its due with the Dante figure. The Inferno will never be the same.

Dante's Inferno will be released February 9, 2010 on PS3, Xbox 360 and PSP. Our Dante figure hits stores after Xmas."

Starwars.com has posted an article about the Garden Jawa, a defender of your garden, porch, front yard, back yard, plants or more! Yet, well, it is a Jawa, so what if it's just protecting your stuff so it can sift through it later on for droid parts? Remember what happened in A New Hope? Is this the Jawa you're looking for? Here's more on this upcoming StarWarsShop exclusive:

StarWarsShop is very proud to introduce you to the cultured, well-traveled (but perhaps not well-behaved) Garden Jawa! Measuring close to a foot tall and crafted in durable all-weather resin, the Garden Jawa protects your tomatoes, zucchini, and daffodils from the dark side, armed with a garden tool bandolier, a garden hose, and a thumbs-up attitude. Reflective amber-colored eyes peek out from underneath his hood, challenging any unwelcome visitors looking to feast on his turf.

True to nature, the Garden Jawa is still up to the well-known mischievous antics we know from the movies. Case in point: If you've caught StarWars.com's Flickr sets lately, you may have caught this little guy sneaking into Skywalker Ranch to snag some pics in front of the Main House. We've also caught him snooping around Lucasfilm's Presidio campus, reclaiming a bit of green from the dry California summer months.

Stay tuned for the further adventures of Garden Jawa, who'll be popping up in video shorts, posting a list of gardening tips, and sending up photos of his travels! In the meantime, be sure to pre-order yours today before they're all gone!

Mattycollector has updated their Facebook page with a ton of info from such lines as DC Universe, MOTU, Ghostbusters AND more! Matty also announced that DCU series 11 will be sold online minus 1 chase figure.

DC Universe world:

So lets see, sounds like Wave 11 has hit stores which is very exciting. And on top of that, I can announce that we will indeed have Wave 11 for sale on MattyCollector.com.

It is unsure at this point if we will have it before the holidays, but when we get Wave 11 in, it will be sold as a master case of 8. You will get:

1 X Katmai Tui with constructs
1 X John Stewart with constructs
1 X Shark
1 X Cyborg Superman in Sinestro Corps uniform
1 X Steppenwolf (Red)
1 X Steppenwolf (Green)
1 X Deadman (standard version)
1 X The Question - fan choice!

And of course all the parts you need to make Kilowog! The only figure not included in this set is the clear chase version of Deadman. This version is exclusive to retailers.

Pricing and onsale dates will be posted in the coming weeks, but this is a first step to helping improve distribution!

In other DC news, we just got in the first test shots of 12" Zod! Boy is he fantastic! We want to make a few small changes before showing to the public, but if you've seen our 12" Ghostbuster figures, you'll know the quality to expect. Zod will use the same basic body and packaging structure, but of course he will have all the details and accessories custom for him including an extra set of hands, Earth weapons for him to bend and melt with heatvision, as well as a stand for the pack out Oval Office setting! Overall an incredible figure is coming Dec 15th!

And speaking of Dec 15th, we'll also have the first ever Retro Action 8" Vintage Figure: Green Arrow! This is a preview figure for an all new line coming to Toys R Us and select online retailers in the Spring. Each figure is painstakingly created with the look and feel of the toys you knew as a kid. Who say's they don't make toys like they used to?

Now we did hit one snag, we won't have our full order on Dec 15th. So much like Mer-Man, Green Arrow may sell out quick, but we'll have a few more in within a week or so. But if you want this guy for the holidays, be there on MattyCollector.com on Dec 15th at 12:00 noon eastern time!

And JLU is shipping! You may have seen a few new 3 packs starting to trickle out. We're working with Target now to clear out old sets and get more new sets in before the end of the year and we'll keep shipping at least into the first few months of 2010 until we get caught up. JLU is still coming! This is one of my highest priorities!

Avatar:

Have you seen these toys! Wow, amazing stuff really. New Avatar 33/4" and 6" figures as well as 3 3/4" beasts and vehicles are in stores now. We'll also have select Avatar figures on MattyCollector.com on Dec 1st leading up to the movie launch. If you haven't marked your calendars yet, Dec 18th will be a cinema experience like no other! (and wait until you check out the mind blowing iTags including with each Avatar figure - create virtual animated version of each toy, right on your computer monitor! All you need is webcam and the free downloadable software!)

WWE:

The news is out and Mattel has WWE! Look for all new super star scale figures aimed at the discriminating collector everywhere Jan 1st. Wait until you see the Entrance Greats assortment! Some of the best figures we've ever done! And with WWE, we're just getting started!

MOTU

Lots going on in the MOTU world. We got in a new sample of Moss Man. Almost there. His fur is not quite the right color, so we're going to hold off until we have a more finished sample on this guy before posting.

We also got early samples of Battle Cat in package in. Have a bit of an issue that his mask is falling off in package. We're doing everything we can to fix this before the full production is finished. He'll come in a box with a blister back (similar to the original toy) so worst case is the box can be opened without damage to slide the mask back on. But we'll do all we can to avoid this! As soon as we have a better sample we'll post it for all to see.

And the big news, we've got our April 2010 figure all lined up. You can catch the first images of EVIL LYN in the next issue of Toy Fare magazine! Which version is she? You'll just have to wait until Toy Fare's 2010 preview in issue 150 to find out!

Ghostbusters:

Oh, we've barley gotten out feet wet (or is that slimed) in Ghostbuster toys! New 12" and 6" will be shipping throughout the winter and spring. We've got a lot of new surprises in store for 2010, but you may need to wait until SDCC 2010 for us to reveal all of the new news, but it is in the works!

That's the big stuff. Of course we have a big sale tomorrow on MattyCollector.com. We've been working at length with Digital River to endure it is a clean easy sale. If any collectors do have ANY shipping issues at all, we'll be monitoring this page carefully so we can address any order concerns. Please be sure to post your order number as a reference if we do need to jump in for extra customer service help. We're committed to making shopping on MattyCollector.com the best experience possible!

Soulsync has posted new images of the Venom figure from the upcoming 3-3/4" Spiderman line. Venom and other popular villains from the Spiderman universe have been noticeably absent from the popular Marvel Universe line, and something else is noticeably absent on this figure; full articulation!

This figure has ball joints shoulders, elbows, and hips along with a thigh swivel, but no knee joints! That's not all, many of the figures in the 1st waves of this line lack full articulation as well. While the preferred route would have been Marvel Universe style figures, what we get instead is something definitely geared more towards kids. Perhaps us collectors will get 3-3/4" Spideyverse figures geared towards us later on in the line, but for now, click on the title bar to get an idea of what you're in for.
