Toy Guru and Mattel are back with another edition of Ask Matty. Thanks, guys!
1. We love the softer plastic that was used for the outfit on the Masters of the Universe Classics Evil-Lyn (see Sandman’s Evil-Lyn review), which really helps when posing her legs. Are you planning to use this softer plastic when you re-issue Teela?
Yes we are.
Mattel has updated their WWE Facebook page with pics of Legends Series 1, including this teaser ad. Legends Series 1 includes Dusty Rhodes, Ricky the Dragon Steamboat, Animal and Hawk from the Road Warriors, Sgt. Slaughter, and Stone Cold Steve Austin. I’m really looking forward to these figures.
We had a few questions after the Attack of the Show! reveals that Toy Guru and the folks at Mattel have answered. Thanks guys!
1. Great reveals on Attack of the Show! Some questions of the “grand daddy” of items, the DC Infinite Heroes Starro exclusive – does the large Starro feature any articulation or is it flexible at all? Now that you’re giving us Starro for the DCIH line, how does that affect our chances for getting an even bigger Starro in the DC Universe Classics line, as a Collect and Connect, for example?
Starro is made of rubber-like material and has metal rods similar to Clayface. While this Starro does not take the place of a possible Collect and Connect, we did purposely make him so he would work with any number of DC lines. That doesn’t mean we would not revisit him again one day in the 6-inch line!

Hello all, I’m back with another review of Mattel’s new WWE figures. This time I’m going to cover the Elite Series 3 figures of John Cena and The Heart Break Kid, Shawn Michaels.
As I mentioned in my previous Elites review, Mattel has kept the style of packaging close to that of the Jakks Deluxe Aggression box packaging, but added their spin on it. The sides and top of the package come apart easily enough, and fold down so you can free the figures from their prisons. Each figure also comes with a figure stand with a tiny paper name plate that sticks in front of it.

Mattel has released the official descriptions and pictures of their San Diego Comic-Con Exclusives that they announced on Attack of the Show (part 1 | part 2). They promised more reveals, and they came through with previously unannounced exclusives for Cars and Justice League Polly Pockets.
I’m psyched about face-hugger Starros for my DC Universe Classics Justice League, but is it weird that I’m excited about the dentist’s chair that comes with Mo-Larr? 🙂
