This Week in Geek- Pre-Toy Fair Roundup!

Toy Fair starts tomorrow- so of course, all the leaks and news outlet exclusive reveals are coming out. Here's a round up of some of the biggest news, in a special Pre-Toy Fair round-up on This Week in Geek!

DC Direct Batman the Animated Series Batmobile

One of the most unexpected reveals of the week has been DC Collectibles' revelation of an electronic Batmobile to scale with their 6" Batman the Animated Series line of figures, due later this year. We always hear from manufacturers that vehicles and playsets are 'too cost-prohibitive now', so it's amazing to get a nice scaled Batmobile- especially at the $99 MSRP. Mattel's  Arkham Knight Batmobile- the most recent collector-oriented version- bore the same price-tag, despite being made for figures half the size, so either industry is lying or DC is really expecting to sell to undercut prices.

Hot Toys Ultron Prime

On a piece bordering movie news and toy news, Hot Toys has released its full reveal of their Ultron Prime from the upcoming Avengers: Age of Ultron. This is about the best and most comprehensive look fans have had at the design- since Hot Toys figures are nearly perfect representations of their on-screen counterparts.

NECA Aliens to include Ripley, half of Bishop.

After being the first to nab Sigourney Weaver's likeness rights, NECA has confirmed and shown off their in-progress version of the Ripley character as she appeared in Aliens- and confirmed that we'll also be getting a Final Battle Bishop. Yes, the android torn in half by the Queen is getting a figure torn in half.

Funko Legacy Rocketeer, Firefly

And lastly, through a Facebook fangroup, we have leaked looks at a pair of cult classics finally getting action figures through Funko's Legacy series- pulpy superhero the Rocketeer, and the crew of Serenity from Firefly.
