Upcoming Mattycollector.com Release Dates (Facebook)

Mattel has updated its release schedule for the MattyCollector.com products. I think the only change is the Earth-3 Alex Luthor / Ultraman two pack – many expected it to be available on 4/15, following the Adam Strange / Starfire two-pack by a quarter.

Quick update everyone, here are current release dates for the next few items on Mattycollector.com:

Mer-Man – 4 /15

We will likely sell out of Mer-Man on day 1, but we have a second batch coming in which should go on sale about 4/23

Zodac – 5/15

LOSH JLU 4 pack – 5/15

Hordak – 6/15

Alex Luthor/Ultraman two pack – 6/15

Man-At Arms 7/15

We are also trying to get some of the new CARS items up by 7/1 and are working hard with the CARS team on some cool surprises. More information as soon as it is available!

The Grifball Spartan is limited to 6,000 pieces and will sell for $15.
