NEWS: New X-Men: First Class Clips

Yahoo Movies has six new clips from the mutant-tastic X-Men: First Class, ahead of the movie's release this Friday.

Although we've seen snippets of these scenes in previous trailers and teasers, it's nice to see them in-context, especially as the selected clips highlight both the movie's character-based drama and action sequences.

NEWS: X-Men Logos in the Skies!

In the run-up to the release of X-Men: First Class later this week, Marvel's Masters of Marketing really pulled-out the stops with their latest promotion: giant X-Men logos in the skies above LA, Atlanta and New York.

Head over to Bleeding Cool to view their gallery of visitor-submitted pics and KEEP WATCHING THE SKIES!

NEWS: X-Men: First Class Toys from Hot Toys

Deluxe collectables company Hot Toys has acquired the rights to produce licensed figures from the upcoming superhero movie, X-Men: First Class.

An update on their Facebook page announcing the deal offers little in the way of details but given that it's Hot Toys' specialty, we can assume these toys will be produced at 1/6th scale. No word yet on characters or release dates but we'll keep you updated.

Thanks to Toys R Evil for the tip.

TOY HAUL: 27th May

I finally found - purely by chance - two of the cancelled Wave 3 Alpha Class Vehicles from The Rise of Cobra toy line at a Ross Dress for Less store. Not a bad haul but I'd hoped to find all four (neither of the Ross stores had the other vehicles, sadly.)

I also found (and passed on) the two X-Men: First Class Greatest Battles packs at Toys R Us. It was good to see some new stock there (finally!) although there was still no sign of the latest Marvel Universe or GI Joe Waves.

The Hunt continues!

VIDEO VIEW: Farmers Insurance/X-Men: First Class Crossover

There've been a lot of crossovers in the world of comics. Batman vs Captain America, Namor's first tanglings with Fantastic Four, and of course, the Secret Wars. Now that tradition continues with this ad from Farmers Insurance, featuring the X-Men and J.K. ''J. Jonah Jameson'' Simmons.

X-Men: First Class hits cinemas next month.

Thanks to Bleeding Cool for spotting this.

NEWS: X-Men: First Class Greatest Battle Packs Hitting Shelves Now

Eagle-eyed (or just obsessive) fans may have noticed our Release Dates listings were recently updated recently to include the X-Men: First Class Greatest Battles Packs as being ''Out Now.'' This was a result online rumblings from various collectors stating that they'd found the toys on shelves. We can now however confirm - thanks to this post from Jboypacman - that the X-Men: First Class double packs are indeed now in stores.

What's not confirmed is whether all of these figures are new sculpts or simply repackaged, older figures. That certainly appears to be the case with the Wolverine/Sabretooth pack, which looks to feature the previously-released brown costume Secret Wars Wolverine and Sabretooth from the Blob/Sabretooth double pack.

NEWS: X-Men First Class Character Spots

After yesterday's new, new, new, new (I think) Green Lantern trailer, it's nice to see X-Men prequel, First Class, taking a different approach with three new trailers, each focusing on a specific character and introducing them to the audience.

This approach has actually worked - for me at least - and I now find myself having gone from vaguely interested to quite excited. Anyway, you can check the trailers out for yourself over at Bleeding Cool.

I still think they should have gone with the Old School Beast though.

NEWS: Final X-Men: First Class Trailer

Another day, another X-Men: First Class trailer, or so it seems.

Hitfix has the latest - and what they're calling ''Final'' - trailer.  Presumably this is the finished, fully-tweaked and signed-off promo we'll be seeing in the run-up to the movie's release on June 3rd.

Judgement is still being reserved (I must admit I'm not a big X-Men fan anyway) but the historical setting looks like an interesting addition (even if they still have the wrong-looking Beast in it.)

NEWS: X-Men First Class Trailer

We're probably a day or two little late bringing this to you, but frankly it's a slow news day and given that covering this wasn't exactly on the top of the That Figures To Do list, it's a good opportunity to kill two birds with one stone...

I'm still not sold on the concept and I wish they'd used the original, classic X-Men line up, complete with the proper apish Beast (instead of the silly blue-furred supercat) but this trailer is an improvement over the previous one.

X-Men: First Class hits cinemas in June.

NEWS: X-Men: First Class Trailer Released

The first trailer for the upcoming prequel entry in the X-Men franchise, X-Men: First Class, is now online.
