There will actually be six variants of He-Ro. As revealed earlier, he will come with one of three different stones concealed within his staff, but He-Ro will also have a San Diego Comic-Con variation, which will come with the SDCC logo underneath his armor. Fun times for completists!
MOTU Fans!
As most MOTU fans know, He-Ro is our special San Diego Comic-Con 2009 MOTU figure. You’ve waited patiently, and now I can finally share some of the details!
This version of He-Ro will be available at SDCC, then at MattyCollector.com after the show. Both the SDCC version and the MattyCollector.com version will have three different Spell Stone variants, randomly packed. But like all spell stones, they’re well hidden. The stones come packed in a closed Spell Staff so the only way to know which version you have is to open the package, then open the staff to see the color.
Spell of Protection……Green Spell Stone
Spell of Defense……Red Spell Stone
Spell of Healing……Purple Spell Stone
There’s one more thing… if you get He-Ro at the show, he’ll also have a special SDCC variant with the SDCC logo on his chest under the armor (you’ll need to take him out of the package and remove the armor to see the logo)! The logo version will be sold only at SDCC.
If you can’t get to the SDCC, don’t worry, because we’ve got you covered. You can still get He-Ro without the SDCC logo here on MattyCollector.com after the show on Monday, August 3rd at 12:00 NOON ET, so be sure to mark your calendar!
Mezco 18-Inch Abe Sapien
Mezco has sent over more pictures of the 18-inch Abe Sapien that is available this summer, both online and at San Diego Comic-Con. I am really impressed with the detailing – check out the skin texture and the goggles. Abe is styled after his appearance in Hellboy 2. He looks great with the 18-inch Hellboy – I’ve got one of those, but in the comic book style, and would very much like to have a comic book-styled Abe to keep him company.

The results for Art Asylum’s Secret Wars Minimates are in – they’ve said that the top four picks would be made into a box set to be released exclusively by Toys R Us in the fall. Not a bad selection, but I have to ask – did we really need another Spider-Man before the Beyonder? This is Secret Wars! (See the rest of the control art here.)
Which character you would like to see in the Secret Wars Minimates box set?
