DC Universe Classics Battle for Earth 3 – Alexander Luthor and Ultraman

Call me a sucker for these things, or maybe something even worse, because when they first announced the Battle for Earth 3 two-pack, I swore I wasn’t going to get it. First off, I want, no, I need a modern Crime Syndicate. This Ultraman is based on the classic design, and as much as I like the classics, the modern designs are much cooler. And Luthor, where to begin? This version of Luthor was featured for a couple of panels in Crisis on Infinite Earths, a couple of decades ago. Talk about digging deep, Mattel.

Still, June 15th came around and there I was, waiting for the Mattycollector.com site to refresh – the ordering experience on a heavy day, because of MOTU Classics Hordak sales, was much improved. And a couple of days later, this set is in my hands.

Four Horsemen Reveal Final Seventh Kingdom Figures – Baddathiir, Siliskk, and Raavia

Here’s the final three exclusive variants from this year’s 7th Kingdom exclusives. With the the 7th Kingdom offerings in the past two years, the minotaurs and elephants, I’ve been selective about which figures to pick up. This year I may have to go for the full set. We’ll do a recap of all eleven figures sometime next week.

THE QUEEN AND HER COURT – PART 4

Over the past few days you’ve been introduced to an ever expanding group of warrior women from the Four Horsemen’s fan-favorite property – “7th Kingdom”. In today’s part four of “The Queen and Her Court”, you’ll meet the final three femme fatales which will make up the complete set of 11 figures to be offered through Store Horsemen (http://www.StoreHorsemen.com) at a later date.

Each of the following figures will each be carried and sold through a different online retailer, toy news website, or action figure magazine.

The first of the final three is one of the darkest denizens of the 7th Kingdom – Baddathiir. Baddathiir will be the second of two exclusive variants carried by online toy retailer Big Bad Toy Store (http://www.BigBadToyStore.com) .

Number two on our list today is the slithering soldier mutant – Siliskk. The Four Horsemen’s very own online retail outlet, Store Horsemen (http://www.StoreHorsemen.com) will be the only place to pick up this very limited figure. Siliskk will be sold for $20.00 each and will not be available at Comic Con!

The last but certainly not least of the exclusive variants to be revealed will be offered through online toy news website, Raving Toy Maniac (http://www.ToyMania.com). She’s the crimson cat of the 7th Kingdom – Raavia.

All three of these warrior women will each wield a deadly spear, and a razor sharp small sword. The price of each figure will be determined by each individual retailer at in the near future. At a later date, all three of these figures as well as the eight previously introduced figures will also be available in a complete set only through Store Horsemen (http://www.StoreHorsemen.com) .

First Look – Masters of the Universe Classics He-Ro – TheFwoosh.com

TheFwoosh.com is on an absolute tear this week with Mattel and Four Horsemen goodness. Next up is an early look at the San Diego Comic-Con exclusive for Masters of the Universe Classics, He-Ro.

Masters of the Universe Classics He-Ro

A point of high interest for Masters fans for over two decades, Mattel has finally given us a figure of He-Ro, the first character in the Masters of the Universe Classics line that has NEVER had an action figure. It feels like we are playing a part in a bit of history here, this is the first new Masters character to get a figure since 1987 (or since 1992 if you are a rare faithful of the New Adventures of He-Man line). It’s kind of a big deal.

Four Horsemen at Wizard World Philly This Weekend

This time of year we’re usually so busy gearing up for San Diego Comic-Con that we tend to overlook Wizard World Philly, which is this weekend, Friday, June 19 – Sunday, June 21. The Four Horseman, who have their hands in many of the top action figure lines, will be present and have sent along a list of their activities at the show.

If you’re in the neighborhood and haven’t seen the work the Horsemen do before an action figure goes into mass production, you’ll be in for a treat.

First Look – DCUC Earth-3 Two-Pack – TheFwoosh.com

TheFwoosh.com has posted an early look at the DC Universe Classics Earth 3 two-pack featuring Alexander Luthor and the Crime Syndicate’s Ultraman. The first allotment of these figures went on sale on June 15th and sold out within a couple of hours. We’re waiting to hear back when the final allotment of figures will be available on Mattycollector.com.

This set makes me very hopeful for obscure character selection for this line going forward- it looks as though the sky’s the limit. I really hope we hear further news of Crime Syndicate/Earth-3 figures soon, having them all together will make for a great spot in the display.
