Disney Animation Confirms First Marvel Movie Big Hero 6
Plot Summary: From Walt Disney Animation Studios comes “Big Hero 6,” an action comedy adventure about brilliant robotics prodigy Hiro Hamada, who finds himself in the grips of a criminal plot that threatens to destroy the fast-paced, high-tech city of San Fransokyo. With the help of his closest companion—a robot named Baymax—Hiro joins forces with a reluctant team of first-time crime fighters on a mission to save their city. Inspired by the Marvel comics of the same name, and featuring comic-book style action and all the heart and humor audiences expect from Walt Disney Animation Studios, the CG-animated “Big Hero 6” hits theaters in 3D on November 7, 2014.
Big Hero 6 is a superteam in the Marvel Comics universe. They technically first appeared in Sunfire and Big Hero 6 #1 (September 1998), though they were created by Steven T. Seagle and Duncan Rouleau in the pages of Alpha Flight, volume 2. That issue sparked interest in a mini-series which Seagle and Rouleau did not have time to create, thus Scott Lobdell and Gus Vasquez were assigned the mini-series. Scheduling issues resulted in the mini-series appearing before Alpha Flight #17, though the Alpha Flight issue was chronologically their first appearance in the Marvel Universe. A new 5 issue miniseries was launched by Marvel Comics in September 2008.

Living Dead Dolls Present Psycho
Living Dead Dolls Present Psycho
New York- Don’t tell Mother, but Mezco has a secret….Psycho’s Norman Bates as Mother and Marion are the latest addition to the Living Dead Dolls Presents series.
Nominated for a quartet of Academy Awards, the psychological thriller Psycho not only changed the world of horror, but how movies are marketed as well. The “shower scene” has become iconic in pop culture and is often regarded as one of the most terrifying scenes ever filmed.
Norman Bates as Mother will come with a removable wig and, just as he did in the film, Norman is wearing pants underneath Mother’s dress. As would be expected, a knife is included.
Marion comes complete with a hotel towel embroidered with the infamous Bates Motel logo.
“To be able to transform these iconic characters into Living Dead Dolls is both a thrill and an honor” reported various members of Mezco’s award winning design team, “We’ve watched the film hundreds of times, studied stills, and looked at the artifacts in Universal’s archives. We’re confident Hitchcock himself would be pleased with the final result!”
Each doll is individually packaged in their own window box featuring art from the award winning film.

Luckily, Diamond Select Toys regularly goes back and re-issues some of the more popular figures to make sure everyone who wants to start a Marvel Select collection has the ability to get the characters they want. This year, DST has brought back the Classic Green Goblin figure as well as the original Ghost Rider, Johnny Blaze!
