I know there’s a lot of folks who’ve been waiting for the Masters of the Universe Classics Panthor since Mattel announced Battle Cat. There was also the controversy that arose from the San Diego Comic-Con vote in 2009 for whether he would flocked. Personally, I’m glad to get him without flocking, even though the vintage figure had it.
Panthor is coming!
Hey He-Fans!
Panthor in his box. The Helmet is packed to the side.
We just got in packaged samples of Panthor and wanted to get them up for your viewing pleasure. Panthor goes on sale in April only on Mattycollector.com as part of the Club Eternia program (with extra units for sale to non Club members as always!).
When Hasbro announced the winners of their Marvel Legends Fan’s Choice poll wayyyy back in August – and that’s 2009, not this year – there was a very polarized reaction. Cheering were the folks who never had the chance to pick up the original Marvel Legends Deadpool from wave 6 in the Toy Biz run. And jeering were the folks who may already have had Deadpool but were regardless upset that one of the few slots for Marvel Legends, which under Hasbro has been limited to a handful of 2-packs over the course of the past couple of years, was going to be used for a re-do.
I was lucky enough to find the highly coveted RedPool 2-pack recently and wanted to snap some pictures comparing the new figures with the original release.
Canonball sends in a guest review of Green Lantern Classics wave 1. Previously, he wrote in about the CybCon 2010 Transformers event in Tacoma back in August. You can read more from him at Canonball’s Run. Thanks, CB!
Just in time for the holidays, the first wave of the hotly anticipated Green Lantern Classics line has made its way to several online retailers and is shipping to fans as we speak. With the movie mere months away, this is a great way to kick off Green Lantern mania in 2011 and Mattel has delivered a solid set of figures representing a fairly wide cross-section of the Green Lantern universe.
The Adventure Kartel family gets a little bigger with Bleak Mission – Tommy’s dad. I haven’t seen much revealed yet about this 1/6 scale figure, but he will come with a cigar and his anatomically correct pooch, as pictured here.
Bleak Mission goes on sale Tuesday 12/21 at 8PM EST at bambalandstore.com. Also set to go on sale, a shadow variant of Tommy in a 2-pack with a zomb.
