Tron VHS Deluxe Figure Packaging 004

Diamond Select Toys, via their Gentle Giant Web Store, has released final in-packaging photos for their upcoming Tron (1982) Deluxe VHS 7″ Scale Figure, which was revealed a few days ago. The packaging is modeled, pretty much perfectly, after a vintage VHS version of Tron. The figure sits in a plastic clamshell, with VHS style insters for the cover and rear art. Inside the box, you’ve find a VHS cassette overlay, which hides the figure inside. The figure is priced at $40. Check out the new photos after the jump.

DST Tron Series 1 Action Figures 067

Released in 1982, Disney’s Tron was one of the first major Hollywood films to rely on computer generated imagery (CGI) for its special effects. It was a film that was ahead of its time, so much so that the Academy Awards refused to acknowledge the films accomplishments, saying that using computers was cheating. The film never quite found the box office audience Disney was hoping for, but it became a cult favorite on home video.

The film followed a group of computer programmers looking to prove that a high ranking executive was stealing ideas from Kevin Flynn. Flynn, a genius programmer, created many of the games his company, Encom, was known for. When he crosses Encom’s growing AI program, the Master Control Program (MCP), Flynn is digitized, and sucked into the unknown digital world. There, Programs roam the digital landscape, performing the tasks their Users designed them to do. But the MCP has begun a hostile takeover, absorbing programs for his own gain, and forcing many others to fight in a game grid based on the real world video games that Flynn designed. The MCP uses the villainous Sark to do his bidding, running the games and rounding up programs to fight. When Flynn meets Tron and his friends, they devise a plan to take down the MCP, and return Flynn to the real world before he derezzed and lost forever.

The film has had a few toys and collectibles over the years. However, the new line of 7″ scale action figures by Diamond Select Toys may just be the best yet. Series 1 consists of Tron, Kevin Flynn (Infiltrator), and Sark. A Walgreens exclusive assortment is also available, which features the three figures with less accessories. However, it’s only via Walgreens that fans can find the blue version of Flynn. Our friends at diamond Select Toys have sent along the Tron Deluxe Series 1 Figures, and I managed to find a Blue Flynn in the wild. After the jump, check out my thoughts on the new collectibles, as well as a full photo gallery.

DST Tron Series 1 Packaging

New final in-packaging photos have been released by Diamond Select Toys for their upcoming Tron Series 1 Deluxe Figures. Each figure is packed on blister card packaging. The assortment includes Tron, Sark, and Infiltrator Kevin Flynn. The 7″ scale figures each feature interchangeable hands, identity discs, and identity discs with effects. The figure have about 16 points of articulation each.

Originally, the figures were going to be part of the “Select” figure line, and were going to include pieces to build a Recognizer vehicle from the movie. Sadly, they were unable to get that to work out. However, the loss of the Recognizer pieces did result in the price per figure being lowered to $20 each. The Tron Series 1 Figures are due for release in February. See the new packaging images after the jump.

The original Tron finally gets its due from Diamond Select Toys with Kingdom Hearts Select Series 3 from Diamond Select Toys. There have been very few great Tron figures, or even worthwhile collectibles, over the years. So it’s great to see the classic versions of the characters, even though they’re based on a video game appearance. The third wave of figures is based on the Space Paranoids world from Kingdom Hearts II. In the game, Sora, Donald Duck and Goofy travel to the Grid and meet up with Tron and face off against the villainous Sark. DST brings a few of these guys together in two 2-packs. The sets include Tron and Sora, as well as Sark and Goofy.

The figures are in stores now. Each set retails for about $25. You can check out my gallery and thoughts after the jump.

Kingdom Hearts 3 Goes Better with Toys from DST!

Also at GameStop, four exclusive Kingdom Hearts Gallery PVC Dioramas are now available, spotlighting Sora, Goofy, Pete and Mickey with Donald. Ranging from 6 to 9 inches tall, each sculpture is made of high-quality plastic, and features high-quality paint details. They can also be ordered on GameStop.com.

In comic shops and specialty stores, the Kingdom Hearts 3 Vinimates vinyl figures are based on the game’s new Toy Story looks. Featuring Sora, Donald and Goofy, each 4-inch block-styled figure has an articulated neck for additional posing options.

Kingdom Hearts Minimates have captured the game’s main characters in 2-inch mini-figure format for two series so far, including characters from Space Paranoids – Tron, Sark, and SP versions of Donald and Goofy. The spring will deliver the light cycle from Space Paranoids, packaged with an exclusive figure of Space Paranoids Sora!

Coming this spring, the first Kingdom Hearts III Select action figures will be Sora in his new look and the sorceress Maleficent! Packaged in a 2-pack, each 7-inch scale figure features up to 16 points of articulation, and includes an accessory – Sora with his Shooting Star Keyblade, and Maleficent with her staff and raven Diablo.
