![It’s Hair Vs. Machine In ‘Bravest Warriors’ #7 [Preview]
By Caleb Goellner
Following our cover reveal for Bravest Warriors #7 a few months back, we knew that the issue would pack futuristic beauty pageant espionage. What we didn’t know was that awesome giant cyborgs would be involved in a kerfluffle with the team. Sensing our ensured excitement about how writer Joey Comeau, artist Mike Holmes, colorist Lisa Moore and letterer Steve Wands would handle a man vs. machine conflict, Boom! Studios has supplied ComicsAlliance with a five-page preview of the issue, which arrives in stores and digitally next Wednesday, April 10. You can check it out after the jump, but beware, the threat seeing the team’s stylin’ hairstyles getting trashed looms large.

Joining the line of 8” Mego style dolls and assorted bobble heads, Bif Bang Pow!’s long-awaited 3.75” The Venture Bros. action figures have finally started venturing (HAW!) into retailers.

First ‘Thor: The Dark World’ Movie Trailer Thunders Online
Following last week’s official poster reveal for Thor: The Dark World, the live action followup to the 2011 Thormovie starring Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Natalie Portman, Jamie Alexander, Anthony Hopkins and more, Apple Trailers has debuted the first full trailer for the film. While the cast from the first film is certainly present and accounted for, so too is the first appearance of former Doctor/Destro Christopher Eccleston as Malekith (the Accursed). What’s the dark elf got in store for Thor and Mjolnir when the movie opens on November 8?
New ‘Hush’ Catwoman And Harley Quinn Real Action Heroes Coming From Medicom
With Batman and the Joker already duking it out on store shelves, Medicom is turning its Real Action Heroes attention to Jim Lee’s Hush style Catwoman and Harley Quinn. We missed the pair in Medicom’s Toy Fair 2013 display, but the toymaker has finally released press photos showcasing each of their 1/6 scale sculpts, scads of articulation, swappable hands, real cloth costumes and character-specific accessories. Catwoman’s removable whip belt is an especially thoughtful touch, even if it seems to be a separate piece from her weaponized plastic whip. Though the femme fatales won’t be available until around January or February of 2014, they’re both these Gotham City Sirens are currently available at various preorder sites for around $185-200.

Mego Style Batman, Robin, Joker And Riddler Dolls Coming In July
With Mattel’s Retro-Action line of 8” World’s Greatest Heroes figures put to bed last year, it seems Figures Toy Company has stepped in to fill the void with actual replicas of Mego’s famous ’70s dolls beginning with Batman, Robin, The Joker and The Riddler. Expected in comic and specialty stores this July, each figure will sport Mego’s signature sculpts, cloth costumes and 16 points of articulation (although hardcore fans will note that Batman and Robin’s masks aren’t removable like the earliest World’s Greatest Superheroes! line versions). Twisted Mego/ToyFare Theatre should be especially excited by the thought of customizing the dynamic duo into a modern Bat-Pumpkin and Squash. Pricing info hasn’t been released just yet, but judging from FTC’s previous releases, fans can probably expect to pay around $15-25 per figure this summer.
ComicsAlliance Senior Editor Caleb Goellner writes this crazy new comic that’s kind of like Power Rangers on speed.

Nap Like Mega Man With A Plus Helmet And Mega Buster
Mega Man may be able to fuel his android bod with E-Tanks, but us regular humans have to settle for food, water, and perhaps most importantly, sleep. With this in mind, Capcom has bridged the man/machine gap with a plush Mega Man helmet and Mega Buster that fans can adorn for any combination of cosplay and napping. It’s not due out until July, but fans can pre-order it through Capcom’s Japanese site for a little more than $60 USD (¥6,090). If I don’t see a few dozen of these at Comic-Con this summer (especially near the Archie Comics and Udon booths), I will be mega disappointed.
Tons Of New DC Collectibles On The Way In September And October 2013
Following a few relatively light months, this week’s DC Collectibles solicitations promise a whopping 19 total items due out this September and October including the usual action figures and statues, plus props and even a board game. Many of the items were on display during Toy Fair 2013, but there’s still a few surprises, including the Gentle Giant Studios-sculpted Justice League chess set, a new Supergirl statue and more. Hit the jump to get a load of all the new DC Collectibles items headed to retailers and the DCC site this fall.

New ‘Lego Marvel Super Heroes’ Images And Gameplay Footage Arrive
It’s been a little while since TT Games loosed some Lego Marvel Super Heroes video game images or footage online, but the company has more than made up for the dry spell with the latest drop of new screen shots and nearly seven minutes of gameplay footage featuring Iron Man, the Hulk and Spider-Man, squaring off against the Abomination and Sandman in New York City. It seems one of the cosmic bricks from Lego Silver Surfer’s smashed board has fallen into the wrong hands, leading to Sandman and cohorts taking over NYC’s Grand Central Terminal. Fortunately for the minifigs citizens of the LMSH world, Nick Fury is extra good at getting Marvel’s heroes to work together to fight evil and pick up the pieces.
