Yesterday I previewed a few of the Toys R Us SDCC exclusives and speculated that again they’d be available at the Entertainment Earth booth at the show. Today, via a press release, Toys R Us announced their remaining items and confirmed that during the show they will be hosted by EE. Limited product will be available at http://Toysrus.com/ComicCon2012 and in stores this August. First I’ll highlight the new product, then after the jump is the complete press release.
Up first, from DC Direct, are a Dynamic Duo of Alfred E. Neuman as both Batman and Robin. Priced at $50 for the pair, this is a slightly goofier take on the Dark Knight. The second new reveal is from NECA Toys, a cloaked version of their classic Predator. If this is a figure you want, you shouldn’t wait – it might be in your local TRU now, as I saw them today in Chandler. Jakks Pacific is also included with their WINX Club Princess Bloom doll. This 11.5″ articulated doll has a sparkly outfit with glitter and gem Belivix wings – all for just $30.
Othere exclusives getting their debut at SDCC – the Comic-con IV: A Fan’s Hope DVD with Morgan Spurlock and Joss Whedon minifigs (or check your local TRU, mine has this now), McFarlane Toys’ Halo 4 Master Chief will be available for $15. Hasbro offers up a pair of debut items as well – a My Little Pony Glow-in-the-dark Zecora and the Marvel Universe X-Factor box set including Mr. Sinister, Angel, Apocalypse, Jean Grey, Cyclops and Iceman.
Check out pics of all the new additions below and, after the jump, the complete press release.
