DC HeroClix Brightest Day Aquaman and Osiris

With the Blackest Night Heroclix, NECA and WizKids started using digital sculpts to great effect – see their announcements for Mera and Hal Jordan, Lex Luthor, Scarecrow, the Atom, and Wonder Woman.

Now for Brightest Day, they’re following these up with a new seven-figure pack, including Aquaman and Osiris. For this scale, I think these show a lot of detail.

AFTER BLACKEST NIGHT COMES BRIGHTEST DAY! AQUAMAN & OSIRIS

The DC HeroClix Brightest Day Action Pack, available October 2010, is the follow-up product to the highly acclaimed DC HeroClix Blackest Night Starter Game. Tying in with DC Comics hit Brightest Day year-long series, the DC HeroClix Brightest Day Action Pack includes seven highly detailed HeroClix 3D figures ripped directly from the pages of the Brightest Day comic, plus an all-new, double-sided HeroClix map.

Masters of the Universe Classics Chief Carnivus Prototype Pics

If you were here over the weekend and caught our post about Wizard World Philly, then you know that Mattel introduced Chief Carnivus as their September Club Eternia figure for Masters of the Universe Classics. Here are the official pics, I think of the painted 2-up prototype, from Mattel.

I didn’t see a lot of the 200X animated show, so Carnivus is new for me. I’m actually curious as to how he’ll fit in with the Four Horsemen’s Seventh Kingdom figures.

MOTU September Figure Revealed

MOTU Fans,

Friday night was a big one for MOTU. First, the brand was inducted into the ToyFare Hall of Fame during Wizard World Philadelphia (an incredible honor) and our own Scott Neitlich was on hand to accept the award on behalf of Mattel. Then, Scott went on to reveal our September MOTU figure. Ready? It’s the one and only fantastic feline himself… Chief Carnivus™!

Chief Carnivus™
Heroic Feline Warrior™

This fan-favorite figure from the 200X series will go on sale Wednesday, September 15th right here at MattyCollector.com We’ll reveal his bio a little later, so keep your eyes on this spot!

Batman and Joker Mez-Itz Now Available for Pre-Order

A couple of weeks ago we found DC Universe Mez-Itz listed on the Mezco web store. They just made them available for pre-order. The Batman and Joker are available in a 2-pack for $40 and will ship around San Diego Comic-Con. They’ll also be available for purchase at the Con.

I’m very psyched about these. Mez-Itz are scale-compatible with Hasbro’s Mighty Muggs, and also feature a ball-joint at the neck – you can get some great poses other vinyl figures without that won’t be able to manage.

The Kick-Ass Bundle that includes Mez-Itz and keychains is also available for pre-order.

The Batman & Joker 6inch Mez-Itz two pack, which is a summer exclusive that will be revealed at SDCC, is available for pre-order now at

in July they will also be available at SDCC 2010.

DC Universe Classics Wave 14 Packaged Pics

Seeing these packaged pics of DC Universe Classics Wave 14 reminds me that there won’t be a lot of rest before this Wal-Mart exclusive wave hits stores. With no Wal-Marts within 45 minutes, I’ll probably be relying on the kindness of fellow collectors to get my hands on this wave of figures – so when you find these babies, help a brother out! 🙂

These all look great, but I’m digging Zatanna the most thus far. You can see the pics of the Wave 14 two-ups and Collect & Connect Ultra-Humanite from back when Mattel posted their updates on DC Universe Classics Waves 13 and 14 on their Facebook page.

Masters of the Universe Classics Whiplash Packaged Pics

The 200X Whiplash was my favorite re-envisioning of a Masters character, so I am psyched that Mattel has included a modern head to go with the Masters of the Universe Classics Whiplash. You can see more pics of Whiplash at our Toy Fair 2010 Mattel Masters of the Universe Classics Update.

Whiplash carded!

We just got in carded samples of Whiplash – enjoy!

Whiplash goes on sale Aug 15th on Mattycollector.com!
