Star Trek Comic-Con Exclusives

Star Trek: The Next Generation Exclusive Deanna Troi Action Figure

You'll need counseling if you miss this Entertainment Earth exclusive! As part of the main cast of the legendary Star Trek: The Next Generation, Deanna Troi was the ship's counselor. She could sense the feelings of those around her, and help bridge the cultural gap between so many alien species, such as when she remarked "There doesn't seem to be a Klingon word for 'jolly.'" Standing over 6-inches tall, this exclusive figure comes in her trademark form-fitting jumpsuit, just as you remember her. This half-Betazoid, half-human space comes packaged with display base and a whole galaxy of authentic accessories: Padd 1A, Type 2 Cobra Phaser, computer, and a sculpture of Janaran Falls from the episode, "Second Chances." She's ready to join Picard, Data, and the rest of the Enterprise crew on your desk or anywhere else.

After a transporter accident sends several members of the Enterpirse crew to an alternate universe, they quickly discover this alternate Enterprise is very different from the one they know. After trying to kill Captain Kirk, Chekov is placed inside the agony booth and tortured for his disobedience.

Retro Robots in Disguise

Attention TRANSFORMERS fans of all ages: prepare to travel back in time to the era when ‘ROBOTS IN DISGUISE’ ruled the universe and waged endless intergalactic battles! This fall, Hasbro will pay a special tribute to the rich history captured in the saga that is MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE with the TRANSFORMERS Classics line of figures.

Available in November 2006, the new series of figures will feature updated versions of the first generation of TRANSFORMERS (or “G1”), inspired by the look and spirit of the original figures and characters. The line will include favorites from the original series: OPTIMUS PRIME, Bumblebee, Astrotrain and Megatron – which will be represented as a blaster for the first time since the 1980’s.

“The TRANSFORMERS CLASSICS line brings back the initial feeling of excitement when kids of the 80s first met this legendary brand,” says Greg Lombardo, Hasbro’s Director of Marketing, TRANSFORMERS. “Through advances in design and technology, we have been able to redesign the original ‘G1’ characters for today’s kids, while giving fans a chance to relive their childhood with the most realistic AUTOBOTS and DECEPTICONS figures available.”

Each character in the TRANSFORMERS Classics line will have a more detailed face and body, resulting in a more comparable appearance to the character seen on the original TV show and animated movie. The first wave of the DELUXE CLASS figures will include Bumblebee, Rodimus, Astrotrain, STARSCREAM and will be available in November. Optimus Prime, and Megatron VOYAGER CLASS figures will be also be available in November. All figures recommended for ages five and up.

With great power comes great responsibility.

When Spider-Man was introduced in Amazing Fantasy #15, no one knew the impact the character would have. In fact, Amazing Fantasy was cancelled that very issue! But once the mail from readers poured in, Stan Lee and Steve Ditko knew Peter Parker would soon return.

Here is the mask Peter wore through the original run. The high school student sewed the first version himself and this replica reflects both the wide-eyed teenager and the unique style of legendary artist Steve Ditko. This replica is made in a 1/1 scale from high quality lycra and placed perfectly on a custom mannequin head base, cast in high quality resin. Just don't let Aunt May see it!

Crimson really is your colour

Get Kir Kanos and Carnor Jax in this shared Exclusive - #1 in the all-new Star Wars Expanded Universe series of 2-packs from Hasbro. Includes 3 3/4-inch figures of Kir Kanos and Carnor Jax, neither of which have ever been made as an action figure before!

Who is Kir Kanos? After the fall of the Empire and the final death of the Emperor in Empire's End, Kir Kanos set out to avenge the death of his former leader by taking out the traitors in the Empire. In the process, the entire guard is wiped out, except for Kir Kanos. Who's responsible for this? Kanos investigates in the Crimson Empire comic series. This great action figure includes awesomely sculpted armor, a double-bladed staff, a biker scout style pistol, a removable helmet with a scruffy face underneath, and of course, his red cape.

Ready for a little commando raid?

Taken straight from the commando raids in the hit LucasArts Xbox title Republic Commando, this set brings the boys of Delta Squad to action figure form for the very first time. These warriors were trained on Kamino, and were first deployed behind-the-scenes during the Battle of Geonosis, which took place at the end of Episode II: Attack of the Clones. While there, they were put to work destroying the Separatist's droid factories.

Transformers Go Heady Metal

TRANSFORMERS TITANIUM SERIES WAR WITHIN MEGATRON Figure

MEGATRON does not suffer fools gladly. Yet here he is, forced by the power of the Matrix to obey the commands of a simpering braggart in a hood, and a fleshling no less! Still, MEGATRON is nothing if not patient. Let that shrill simpleton COBRA COMMANDER collect his trinkets and treasures. MEGATRON will watch, and wait for his time to strike.

His chance is given him, shockingly, by the AUTOBOTS, whose cooperation with G.I. JOE® has smashed COBRA's outer defenses. Feeding his own warriors into the furnace of COBRA COMMANDER's insane tactics, MEGATRON holds one desire at the forefront of his mind � he will see his tormentor dead and the Matrix in his hand before the AUTOBOTS arrive. Detailed die-cast metal MEGATRON figure changes from warrior robot to monster vehicle and back! Figure comes with display stand.

TRANSFORMERS TITANIUM SERIES WAR WITHIN OPTIMUS PRIME Figure

GRAVITAS and the members of the Chamber of the Ancients have spoken. It has been determined that the fate of the AUTOBOTS will rest upon the shoulders of an archivist named OPTRONIX. Although OPTRONIX is initially reluctant to accept this great responsibility, he begins to understand the devastating risks at stake for the entire TRANSFORMERS race.

OPTRONIX is given the leadership name of OPTIMUS PRIME once the power of The Matrix is bestowed onto him. It is a sign that he must lead the AUTOBOTS away from CYBERTRON, not only to escape the war with the DECEPTICONS, but also to escape the self-destructive war that exists within them. After a colossal battle with MEGATRON that spans the boundaries of both time and space, OPTIMUS discovers the power within himself to step up and provide the leadership his race needs in their most desperate hour.

These detailed die-cast metal figures change from warrior robot to monster vehicle and back! Eachfigure comes with a display stand. They are set to arrive this month at GoldenAgeToys.com. Reserve yours today!
