Tyson writes about toys for comicsheatingup.net.
Hasbro is launching a second line of Guardians of the Galaxy to the Marvel Legends line up. This set was announced at SDCC last year and is based on the comic book versions of our cosmic heroes. There is no build a figure. There is no hunting them down at various big box stores. They all are sold together in a pretty display box and they can only be picked up here (or be at the mercy of eBay and/or Amazon). They went up today and are available now for pre-order. Enterainment Earth plans to get these to you by August. Get in on the first wave because with an exclusive like this, it could be one and done. If you are a fan of Guardians of the Galaxy or the Marvel Legends line, don’t wait. Continue reading “Think Outside the Toy Box: Guardians of the Galaxy Marvel Legends Exclusives”

Raymond Olubowale Rumored To Play King Shark In Suicide Squad

Comicbook.com reported today that Raymond Olubowale is rumored to play King Shark in the Suicide Squad movie.

DC’s Suicide Squad may be adding another villain to its roster with King Shark, with actor Raymond Olubowale reported to play the role.
King Shark, first introduced in the 1990s, is a humanoid shark akin to Batman’s Killer Croc character. The character battled the DC Universe’s heroes until the publisher’s New 52 reboot, when he was then cast as a regular member of Amanda Waller’s Suicide Squad.
Olubowale is best known for his role as The Axeman in Resident Evil: Afterlife and Resident Evil: Retribution. While his role as King Shark is still unconfirmed, reports indicate that an official announcement could come soon. As to whether King Shark would be another Squad member, or another antagonist for the team to fight, is still unknown.

The first appearance of King Shark is Superboy #0.
It is a cheap pick up with many copies around $1.
This move has been a spec pick for a while now since he was rumored to be just a pass over character, but this means he would get more air time.

Now through 3/30/15 Walking Dead sale at ComiXology. Under $1 an issue.
