Here’s the latest Ask Matty Q&A. Thanks to Toy Guru and Mattel!
1. Great reveal for the Wal-Mart exclusive Green Lantern 5-pack. Some quick questions: Is that Tomar Re or Tomar Tu? Is John Stewart’s Mosaic costume the one that matches Katma Tui’s from Wave 11? Will GL Sinestro have a mask, and if so, is it sculpted or just painted on?
It is Tomar Re. The other outfits and look of the remaining three characters will be revealed shortly.
A couple of weeks ago Toy Guru posted the tentative plan for the 2011 Club Eternia subscription, an all-in package that would include the all of the monthly, quarterly, and oversized figures. So I’ve got a couple of questions for the Masters of the Universe Classics collectors out there.
We’ll have a follow-up question tomorrow.
A: Actually having space to display them! 🙂
A few months ago I wrote about having to dismantle my “toy room” because we had decided to put in new carpet, and then about getting to put together a new and improved display. This past weekend, I put the finishing touches on some upgrades.

In case you missed it in our Toy Fair coverage of Masters of the Universe Classics, He-Man and Skeletor are making a return to big box retailers. They’ll each be paired with a big hitter from DC Comics, in DC Universe Classics vs. Masters of the Universe Classics two packs. He-Man will be paired with Superman, and Skeletor will be paired with Lex Luthor.
VeeBee has a first look, but even better – these have already started to hit at Toys R Us, where these are exclusive. Good hunting!
Right off the bat, I have been in love with the idea of these sets since we first caught wind of them just befor New York Toy Fair earlier this month. I mean c’mon – these are just the logical next step, the natural progression. Mattel has been rocking the collector sect with their amazingly-Four Horsemen DC and MOTU lines for a couple of years now so to find a way to bring them together is like a nostalgia overload for the children of the 1980s. It makes perfect sense since DC Comics did publish a run of Masters of the Universe comics back in the early 1980s and that is the road Matty used to bring them all together. Furthermore, this is MOTUC’s very first venture off of www.mattycollector.com and into the retail aisles, that is a very exciting prospect in and of itself.

Congratulations to Hasbro for hooking into the pop media frenzy for Iron Man 2. PopEater.com has an exclusive reveal of never before seen action figures from Hasbro’s 3.75-inch Iron Man 2 line, including Black Widow and Nick Fury. They’ve also got unmasked versions of Iron Man in his Mark VI armor and War Machine.
‘Iron Man 2’ is sure to blow the roof off of the box office this summer, and as with any superhero or comic book movie, a full line of toys is set to accompany it. PopEater is proud to exclusively reveal the newest line of action figures from ‘Iron Man 2,’ with everyone from Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark and Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow to Samuel L. Jackson, who looks just as awesome in plastic as he does in real life, as Nick Fury. Throw in Mickey Rourke’s Whiplash and Don Cheadle’s War Machine, and we’ve got the entire movie … in miniature form.
