eFX Inc. is marking the historic occasion with a New York Comic-Con exclusive edition of its replica Phil Coulson S.H.I.E.L.D. agent badge and ID card.  As a New York Comic-Con exclusive, fans can join the ranks of S.H.I.E.L.D. – at least, they’ll have the credentials to prove it.  (Getting past security may be a whole different matter.)

The metal badge is made from the original master molds of the screen-used badge, and the ID card is made from the original digital files.  It comes in a real leather ID wallet, which is embossed with the S.H.I.E.L.D. emblem. 

In addition to the replica of this incredible prop, the NYCC-exclusive convention edition includes a personalized S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent ID card.

Attendee Pre-orders are open until September 30th at www.efxcollectibles.com, a limited number of the badges and personalized ID cards will be available for pre-order to attendees for pick-up at New York Comic-Con, which will help avoid waiting in line during the convention.

Fans who order can send a photo of themselves, along with their name and birth date, to eFX for their personalized S.H.I.E.L.D. ID card.  (Personal information will be kept private and will not be sold or used for marketing purposes.)  Each badge is $50.  Personalized, pre-order ID cards and badges must be picked up on site during New York Comic-Con (October 10-13).

The Exclusive, personalized edition will also be available for purchase on location at the NYCC eFX booth, #1869.

As a unique collectible or as an early holiday gift, the limited edition of 1,500 pieces of the New York Comic-Con Exclusive Edition ensures that the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. personalized badge will be truly one of a kind!

Playmates Toys' Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Classic Collection

Found these at Toys"R"Us last week. If you were kid in the late 80's early 90's then you definitely know what these are. Playmates Toys have re-made these using the same molds as the originals. The packaging is different and it is noted on the top corner that it is the "Classic Collection". The back of the package is different and is not like the original where each character had a bio card.

Of course if they re-released the TMNT, Splinter & Shredder then of course they had to re-release the Turtle Party Wagon.

They are also re-releasing the Original 2004 Vehicle Mechwrekkers. Not sure about these being classic but then again didn't collect these back in 2004.

The Original figures & vehicles from 1988 to the early 90's were definitely something we collected. What's so nostalgic about these being released is that the kids who grew up with these can buy these back after their parents threw/gave them away. It's also great for the next generation of kids to collect and play with some of the "original" versions of what their parents used to play with. The negative side of having these re-released could be from those who actually own the originals either loose or new in package. They're main question is will the value of the 1988 Originals go down because these were re-released?

Do you think Playmates Toys should have re-released these as their "Classic Collection"? For us it's sort of a mixed feeling. (Anyways, gotta do some digging for the old '88 collection.)
