Just over a week ago, Marvel announced a Fan’s Choice Vote to select the exclusive Marvel Universe figure that would be offered to Digital Comics subscribers this year. Today, the results are in! I’m not surprised at the fan pick, but had hoped we would get a figure that wouldn’t be a straight up repaint of an upcoming figure.

YOU can get your very own exclusive Archangel Marvel Universe action figure when it premieres at New York Comic Con 2010! Just order a monthly or annual subscription at New York Comic Con and we'll hand you a nifty new Archangel exclusive toy!
Hasbro has shared some pictures of upcoming products across its boys toys lines – Marvel, Star Wars, and Transformers (GI Joe was absent this update). This month, the Marvel team is the big winner, with a slew of pics across Spider-Man, Iron Man, Marvel Universe, and Super Hero Squad – 174 of them! So let’s start with them.
It was my first San Diego Comic-Con, and I had no idea how difficult it could be to get the Con exclusive toys. After waiting at Mattel for almost an hour, I discovered that I was in the wrong line, and could only buy the Batman exclusive. I missed out on Keldor completely.
Now that Keldor is confirmed as a bonus figure in Masters of the Universe Classics, I do feel some anxiety, since MOTUC has been selling out so quickly. Hopefully the adjustments to the production levels will have kicked in by the time Keldor ships in June.
Keldor™ is Coming: Secrets of Skeletor® Revealed!
MOTU Fans,
For longer than we can remember, the background of Keldor™ has been shrouded in mystery… but in preparation of his arrival on June 15th here at MattyCollector.com, we herewith reveal his bio!
Keldor™ was the first figure in the 2002 line aimed directly at collectors, sold first at SDCC in 2003. So, with this amazing figure we have really come full circle. Not only does this bio reveal major secrets from the past of Skeletor®, but Keldor™ also includes a removable cape that can be used for your Skeletor® figures as well! He comes with both halves of the Power Sword® in purple (the only time we will do both halves in purple) and the acid vial that wounded him in battle with his half-brother, King Randor™.
Please note that Keldor™ is a “quarterly” figure and not part of the Club Eternia™ subscription. You can get him for your own at 12:00 Noon Eastern / 9:00am Pacific on Tuesday, June 15th here at MattyCollector.com. If you’re not registered yet for an email reminder, . You can follow me on Twitter where I post reminders, too.

It is time! After snapping hundreds of photos, spending several hours playing with the Berties, and generally finding myself extremely happy with these robot toys, I’m ready to dive into the World War Robot Bertie 7 Pack (mentioned here) master review.
Yeah. My wallet hates Hot Toys. War Machine is a must-have. More pictures on the Sideshow forums.
