SDCC 2009 DC Universe Classics Wonder Twins - Zan, Jayna, and Gleek
DC Universe Classics - Zan, Jayna, and Gleek

Mattel has announced their lineup of exclusives for San Diego Comic Con 2009 on their Facebook page for MattyCollector.com.

  • DC Universe Classics – Wonder Twins 2 pack

Unless this is an elaborate April Fool’s Day hoax, the heavily rumored 2-pack of Zan and Jayna is coming, with a Gleek pack-in plus a number of fitting accessories.  I’m sure there are many Super Friends fans who are rejoicing, while comic purists are cursing the cruel world.

  • Masters of the Universe – Classics He-Ro
  • DC Universe Infinite Heroes – Anti-Monitor (free with points and raffle for 30-inch figure)
  • Justice League Unlimited – Green Lantern Origins 3 pack – Abin Sur, Hal Jordan, and Sinestro 

This JLU Hal Jordan is probably not the one you were hoping for, but Mattel did note that both Abin Sur and Sinestro’s heads were removable!

  • Ghostbusters – Dr. Egon Spengler and Slimer

Fantastic Exclusive Final Face-Off Going On Now!

final-faceoff
The final battle for action figure supremacy is going on right now at FANtastic Exclusive (http://www.FANtasticExclusive.com) and the final two combatants are already leaving their marks on one another!

After one week of voting and more than 1,000 votes, the Four Horsemen are reporting that the ravenous Raven has put down the war-hardened Wolfbat by less than fifty votes!

Even more amazing, and proving that every vote does indeed count, the malicious Ministry of Hunters have pounded a stake in the heart of the voluptuous Vampire Lady, taking the win by only five votes!

The Four Horsemen had this to say, “In all of the years of the FANtastic Exclusive project, there has never been a vote in any category that ended so closely. We considered letting this voting bracket continue for a few more days to see if either contestant was going to be able to pull farther ahead, but we’d made a statement that the Semi-Finals bracket was only going to last one week, and we wanted to keep things on schedule as announced.”

So, for fans of both the Wolfbat and the Vampire Lady, don’t despair. The popularity of both of those characters has ensured that they’ll be back.

This week the Raven will take on the Ministry of Hunters in the Championship Bracket. Will the Raven win the battle and peck at the entrails of the Ministry of Hunters? Will the Ministry of Hunters make short work of the Raven and use his feathers to make a celebratory head-dress?

It’s up to you to decide who’s going to take the top spot in the Championship Bracket!

The current plan is to have the Championship Bracket last a week – ending next Monday, just as the previous two Brackets have, but after seeing how close the Semi-Finals bracket was, depending on how close the Championship Bracket voting is by next Monday, it may run longer  so we can determine a clear cut Champion.

FANtastic Exclusive. War is hell. In this case, it’s literal.

In addition, the figure will feature a new system for poseable eyes.  I’ve not collected figures in this format before, but this may be the first!
