Missing something? If you did not sign up for Club Eternia for 2013 and were hoping to snag the sure-to-be-an-instant-sell-out Masters of the Universe Classics Ram Man today, save your F5 button for another month – Ram Man is delayed. I suppose we should have expected it. After all, our friend Logistics has struck the MOTUC line for four months running now. Maybe it’s time for Mattel to just acknowledge that they’re off by a month now and adjust the schedule accordingly – at least before the next line-up announcement at Toy Fair next month.
What’s left is somewhat tepid sales day in Ram Man’s absence. We’ve got Princess of Power Netossa for Club Eternia, Blue Lantern Saint Walker for Club Infinite Earths, and… hold on, Rorschach is here to save the day for Club Black Freighter (do you mind if I just call it the Watchmen sub from now on?) So, maybe January isn’t so bad after all! Hurm.
For your convenience, here’s the MattyCollector bundle page for January. And if you are a subscriber, here’s the login page for subscriptions. Early access is also available through the top navigation there. Inexplicably, it’s not linked anywhere on the regular MattyCollector page.

3A Toys’ Gimbat posted a summary of the upcoming 3AA membership for 2013 – for the time-zone challenged, it goes on sale at 8PM EST later today. If you’re a fan of 3A, the membership is a great deal. Because 3A puts out high-end collectibles, they do get pricey. With the 15% discount that comes with membership, I’ve ended up saving more than the cost of the membership each of the past couple of years that I’ve been a part of the 3AA Legion. That’s not even including the value of the exclusive figure that comes with membership.
They’ve also teased a collector’s club for Tomorrow Kings. I think I’ll need more details on what that’s all about. With the cost of these figures, I don’t think I could sign up for anything that locks me into purchasing everything in a given line. Not unless I win the lottery.
During last days I answered on so many questions about 3AA 2013 and here is a quick summary, which covers everything and I hope that it’s going to help you guys. If you still have some questions / issues on your mind, please send your email to cs@threeaonline.com

Marvel Legends 2013 is here, and with your indulgence, I’m going to drop the “(Return of)” label – while the Build-A-Figure has shrunk to mini-proportions, the figures are exceptional. Dare I say that we’re seeing Legends at its best ever?
I’m hard-pressed to come up with a former Legends wave as good as this. Sure, we’ve got extensive re-use, including two completely recycled figures in Wolverine and Archangel (from the most excellent San Diego Comic-Con Uncanny X-Force exclusive 3-pack), but the new decos are awesome on two already great figures. We’ve also got the introduction of two new brawler bodies in Hyperion and Red She-Hulk – my first impressions on both are really favorable. With Ultimate Cap and Protector, we’re getting re-used bodies with some nice add-on parts to make them unique. Of the bunch, Protector is the low point for me, mostly because I’m not a fan of the costume.
And Hit Monkey? For a mini-BAF, he’s pretty damn cool. As a smaller figure, he’s got a couple fewer points of articulation, but you’d hardly notice it – he can hold lots of very dynamic poses. He’s got the new ankles, giving him a lot wider range of stable positions. I think you’ll like the Hit Monkey mini-BAF, even if you hate the character (because he’s the product of hack writer Daniel Way.)

AFP sponsor BigBadToyStore has revealed the line-up for Iron Man 3 Marvel Legends series 1. At San Diego Comic-Con last July, Hasbro teased us with a single image for an Iron Man wave for Marvel Legends, but I was still surprised at how soon we should be seeing these – BBTS shows them with an estimated arrival date in February. The line-up includes the Classic Horned Iron Man, the Iron Patriot, and the Heroic Age Iron Man. I suspect the horned version will be shortpacked, as BBTS doesn’t have an individual listing for him.
