First Legion (related) action figure will be announced in this week's Toy Fare, and it's...
TYR
A bit of a letdown, because he's there due to being in the 80s Super Powers line. But Mattel says that Legion is in the works, so I'm hoping for some official news at this month's Toy Fair (not to be confused with Toy Fare).
Pics are the Fwoosh. They went more with the Super Powers look than the Cockrum design, unfortunately.
I'm guessing a C&C of Colossal Boy may be ours in early 2011...sigh.

I'll be getting Tyr pretty much no matter what he looks like. Cannot wait to see the Legion though.
My choices would be:
Cosmic Boy Lightning Lad Saturn Girl Dawnstar Wildfire (2 versions of him, as they usually do 2 versions of at least 1 fcharacter) Ultra Boy (Personal request) Emerald Empress
and for the Build a figure:Validus

NOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooo.....BIIIIG MIIIIISTAAAAAKE! Tyr has not been seen in more than at least 15 years. Why him? does not make sense. those marketing department - what are they smoking this time?

They're doing him because he was in Super Powers...no other reason. They have been going through all the characters from that line slowly. Even doing variants of several Kirby characters to represent their Super Powers designs. (Mantis being one of them)

quote:Mattel will have a very big DC 75th anniversary presence at the San Diego Comic Con in July. They will have some "really amazing exclusives for the brand" which they probably announce in April. "As well as one of the most demanded subsets of the DC Universe - The Legion of Super-Heroes. We definitely have something really big in mind to celebrate the heroes of the 31st century, we're just not ready to announce them yet."
So maybe we'll actually see a Legionnaire by the end of 2010? If not, certainly in 2011.

Seeing the word "exclusive" strikes fear to my very collecting core. Online and con exclusives are both nightmares to deal with, especially con exclusives (eg Wonder Twins and Gleek). It'll probably be a con exclusive, so I guess that means I don't need to clear shelf space.
