If you’ve been on the fence about picking up a Two-Face from the Hot Toys Dark Knight line, you may not want to wait any longer. Amazon has the Hot Toys Two-Face on sale for $49.99 via specialty retailer Hastings.
>> DC Comics Hot Toys’ The Dark Knight: 1:6 Scale Two – Face/ Harvey Dent Figure
I think Harvey originally retailed at around $175, so this is a great deal. I’d been thinking about putting together a Bruce Wayne, and a Hot Toys body plus a suit would set me back more than the sale price of this figure.
See more pics from my Hot Toys Two-Face review a few months back.
By Talyn, on June 3rd, 2010 Honestly, we all know that Two-Face from the Dark Knight Movie Masters line is a figure that should have came out about 2 years ago. Oh well – good things come to those who wait…

By Ron, on May 14th, 2010 This Monday may be another fun day at MattyCollector.com. Six separate figures (which can be purchased on the bundle page for the month) will be on sale:
  
- Masters of the Universe Classics Optikk – the first character from the New Adventures of He-Man is the Club Eternia figure for the month
- Masters of the Universe Classics Tytus – the fighting giant is the over-sized bonus figure
- Masters of the Universe Classics Mer-Man – this will be his first re-issue
- The Dark Knight Two Face – at long last, if you’re looking to complete your collection of Dark Knight Movie Masters, Two-Face is the last lead character to get a figure – you don’t count Rachel Dawes, do you?
- Retro-Action DC Super-Heroes Green Lantern
- Ghostbusters Walter Peck
  
I’m wondering how Tytus will do – while he looks great, I think a lot of people expected more articulation for a $40 figure. But who am I kidding? He’ll still sell out. Good luck on Monday!

By Ron, on April 18th, 2010 I’m glad I’ve got a Club Eternia subscription, because I don’t want to be fighting the horde (no pun intended) to pick up an Evil-Lyn on Monday. This may also be the first time in a long time that I’m not logging onto MattyCollector.com to order an extra item – I have Hordak from when he was first released, and am not collecting the Dark Knight or 12-inch Ghostbuster figures.
The recolored gear for Stratos is what is nagging me to buy the Weapons Pak, but when I think about the stack of extra accessories I already have for MOTUC, I will probably pass.
Good luck with your order – use the Bundle page to make it easier!

By Ron, on April 17th, 2010 When I win the lottery, I’ll buy every action figure I want. For now, these ones were Left on the Shelves.
In this edition, more Hasbro Iron Man 2 figures, Jazwares Sonic the Hedgehog, and Mattel The Dark Knight Harvey Dent.
Hasbro Iron Man 2
   
If you haven’t seen the lastest trailers and clips from Iron Man, you won’t understand why they call the Mark V armor the “suitcase armor” – and while it’s awesome on the big screen, I just couldn’t bring myself to buy another 3.75-inch Iron Man while I still have a pile of unopened Iron Men on the shelves at home.
Iron Starch and the Iron Man and War Machine versions of the Mighty Muggs were a little harder to resist, because cute and heavy armor are such a potent combination.

By Ron, on April 2nd, 2010 Some people sure got heated in their reaction to Toy Guru’s Magic 8-Ball April Fool’s prank yesterday. Did you really think he would leave us hanging? He’s supposed to be on vacation, but he still took the time to send us the real answers for this session. Thanks to Toy Guru and Mattel!
1. This may be a little early, but Raven is on my mind with Collect & Connect Trigon coming soon. Is Mattel planning to do another Fan’s Choice for DC Universe Classics in conjunction with Toyfare this year? And with respect to runner-ups from the prior votes, are any of those characters on the table for the upcoming year?
    
Yes, we do plan to do another fan’s choice contest, but for 2011, it will be for a Collect and Connect figure! Yes, we do have plans for some of the runner’s up. More details at SDCC.

By Ron, on April 1st, 2010 Please find below the bi-monthly answers to your “Ask Mattel” questions. Scott is currently out of the office but asked us to provide answers on his behalf. We know he is the “Toy Guru” and an expert on all things Matty Collector so to keep the same quality of answers you’re readers are used to, we consulted with an answer expert – please go ahead and post these as the official Mattel answers. You can go ahead and forward your April 15th questions to Scott directly.
Sometimes, I don’t know why we bother with these Q&A sessions. All we ever get are these non-answers, session after session after session. And even though we are getting our answers from someone else this go around, it’s just more of the same.

By Ron, on March 22nd, 2010 The MattyCollector.com sales date in April was moved from April 15 to April 19 to accommodate more improvements in the sales process at Digital River. Quick sellouts will continue, though, since the production increases don’t kick in until this summer. So if you’re looking to pick up Evil-Lyn (and who isn’t?) you will need to be quick.

By Ron, on March 14th, 2010 Monday is the MattyCollector.com sale date for March, and Mattel has been warning that while they’re working on the issues with Digital River, we’re likely to see the same kind of performance this month. For more details see this post on Facebook about Moss Man’s production, this post about 3/15 sales info and this post about the Club Eternia subscription process on the MattyCollector.com forums. The net – fixing the production numbers and ordering issues will take some time.
So put on your hard hat and get ready to hit the “bundle” page to make your ordering just a little bit easier. Good luck!

By Ron, on March 7th, 2010 It’s just over a week away, so be sure to mark your calendars, set your alarm clocks, and bookmark the all-in-one sales page. This MattyCollector.com sales date may turn out be just as crazy as February’s. There’s no Battle Cat this time, but Mattel still managed to make something that is sure to attract a lot of traffic. When they decided to make the running change to unflock Moss Man’s ears, they managed to finish production on a very limited number of Moss Man figures with flocked ears.
Because this variant will be very rare, we’re sure to see the folks who would have preferred flocked ears, completists on the line, and Scalp-or wannabes storming the site on Monday the 15th. Even though I’ve got a Club Eternia subscription, I’m bummed because I may have to fight my way through anyways, to get a reissued Stratos – he’s the only one I’ve skipped so far.
