The Figuarts Spider-Man Manga Realization figure goes up for order next week

The Figuarts Spider-Man Manga Realization figure goes up for order next week, and is scheduled to be released in August 2016. The first figure in the Star Wars Realization Figuarts line–Darth Vader #1–has become expensive and sought-after since his release, but there’s no telling if Spidey or this Marvel Realization line will gain that kind of traction with collectors.

But regardless, this 7″ figure will not be cheap if you want it. The figure is retailing for 9,504 Japanese Yen overseas (about $86 US), and I’d expect to see the figure priced around $89.99 if Bandai does get approval to release this in North America themselves (which is iffy). This is certainly a unique item, but at those prices, I’m definitely not planning to pick this feudal Spidey action figure up unless I have a complete change of heart.

Upper Deck All-Star Vinyls Action Figures

Upper Deck All-Star Vinyls Action Figures

A Leader in Sports Cards and Collectibles

Few sports collectors would argue that Upper Deck revolutionized the sports trading card hobby in 1989 with the release of their first set of baseball cards. Since that time the company has continued to grow and drive innovation in the sports collector hobby. The cornerstone of the company's business remains sports trading cards, but over the years it has expanded to include other products and services. Those businesses include: Upper Deck Authenticated®; Upper Deck Digital; Upper Deck Entertainment; and Upper Deck International.

All-Star Vinyls: A New Style of Sports Figures

Upper Deck put a new face on the sports figure market with their LeBron James All-Star Vinyl figure in 2006, followed by two four-figure sets of The LeBrons in partnership with Nike®. Click here to learn more about vinyl figures. In 2007 the company released their first league-licensed All-Star Vinyl figures with the January NFL release of Ben Roethlisburger, Tom Brady and Brett Favre. The company has a full line of current and former NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB athletes to be released on the All-Star Vinyl label in 2007.

Returning to Realism With Pro-Shots

Recognizing the success of the McFarlane action figures, Upper Deck is now selling a new product line called Pro-Shots. Unlike the All-Star Vinyls, Pro-Shots feature highly accurate 6" figures that depict great moments in famous players' careers. The first series of Pro-Shots are now in the stores and Series 2 comes out in March, 2009. These series feature Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan. Muhammad Ali is also planned.
For each figure, two versions are issued - a "retail version" which is sold at Toys R Us, shows the athlete in the attire he was wearing for the famous moment being depicted. (For example, in the 1985 slam dunk competition shown to your right, Jordan was wearing the red uniform.) The retail version is packaged in a plastic clamshell with a cardboard wrap-around, and includes an Upper Deck card. The second version issued is a "hobby version," which is sold through various hobby resellers like sports collectibles websites. The hobby version features the same pose but uses an alternate uniform - in the above example, the hobby version is a white uniform. Hobby versions are packaged in plastic clamshells and I don't believe they come with a card - I need to confirm that.
I will be updating the Pro Shots portion of this website very shortly - for now, take a look at myUpper Deck Pro Shots Series 1 and Series 2 Write-up.
More information about this product line should be available shortly, and the first Pro-Shots should go on sale in the fall of 2008. Click here for more information about Pro-Shots.

MVPs Feature Team Mascots With a Vinyl Attitude

A brand new product line in the works for Upper Deck is a collection of NFL vinyl collectibles called MVPs. Click here to learn more about vinyl figures.
MVPs are collectibles referred to in the urban vinals hobby as sports themed platform toys. The concept is that the product starts with a single platform, in this case a generic 8" football figure. Designers create a variety of different original artwork designs to go on the platform. MVPs will be created to represent the 32 different NFL team mascots.
Upper Deck chose eight well-known vinyl designers, including Jesse Hernandez, MAD, Niark1, Rebel Wookiee, Sket One, Spanky, TWEEQiM and UNKLBrand, to craft the artwork for the series. The MVPs will be released in groups starting in the Fall of 2008. As is typical for these types of collectibles, edition sizes will be limited. Ultimately, Upper Deck plans to expand this product line into other sports and other artists as well.
More information, including sample photos of MVPs, is expected in the coming weeks.

Action Figure News McFarlane Releases 2009 Basketball Sports Picks Photos Seven-figure Lineup Available March 2009 Source: McFarlane Toys — Posted 12/23/2008 McFarlane Toys has released photos of NBA 2009. This seven-figure lineup features the Sports Picks Debuts for a trio of players, two All-Stars in the jerseys of their new teams, and brand new poses for two of the game's most dominant superstars: LeBron James 5: "The Chosen One" is taking his game to new heights, and the re-camped Cavaliers appear poised for another run at the Eastern Conference title and the NBA Finals. LBJ's fifth figure offers a completely unique pose - with LeBron taking a moment during a timeout, planning out his next move... Ray Allen: The 8-time All-Star arrived in Boston alongside Kevin Garnett, and helped galvanize the proud franchise. By year's end, the new-look Celtics were once again atop the NBA - winning the team's 17th championship. Jermaine O'Neal 2: After eight years in Indiana, it's a brand new opportunity for O'Neal. An off-season trade brought him to Toronto, where he's partnered with Chris Bosh as the new "big and bigger" duo in the NBA. Tracy McGrady 4: The Rockets put together an astounding run last season (including a 22-game win streak), and have a healthy Yao Ming and the arrival of Ron Artest to make the Western Conference take notice. McGrady remains the team's most crucial player - and sometimes being the leader means more than dunking the ball or shooting out the lights - sometimes it means you've gotta sacrifice your body just to keep that ball inbounds... Andre Iguodala: Last season was a true breakout year for Iguodala, who set career highs in points, steals, blocks and 3-pointers. With the arrival of low-post threat Elton Brand, the wing is wide-open in Philly, leaving Iguodala free to work his magic. Kevin Durant: The NBA Rookie of the Year has almost come full circle. After a standout career at the University of Texas, Durant headed to Seattle as the second pick in the 2007 NBA Draft. Following his brilliant rookie season, the Sonics relocated, bringing Durant back to the Midwest as the face of the new Oklahoma City Thunder. Zach Randolph: It's been a long time since Knicks fans had anything to be excited about, but the arrival of Mike D'Antoni had given the team a burst of energy. With his "seven seconds or less" high-octane offense, D'Antoni has redirected the team, and talents like Randolph are enjoying the freedom of the wide-open offense. NBA 2009 is expected to arrive on shelves in March 2009.

What more can you say about Stephen Curry?

Just when you thought Steph Curry couldn't reach new boundaries, he goes and drops a 38-foot hammer on the Oklahoma City Thunder. The NBA A to Z guys Sam Amick and Jeff Zillgitt talk about his season with USA TODAY's Kevin Spain.

The guys also discuss the race in the Eastern Conference and if the Toronto Raptors can catch the Cleveland Cavaliers and what teams will make the playoffs.

They explore the candidacy of Portland's Terry Stotts as coach of the year.
