Early Access for 4/15 MattyCollector Sale Now Open

Update @ Noon PST: MOTUC Webstor is sold out, and WWE Christian is a no-show in Early Access.

MattyCollector Early Access 4-15

It’s 8AM, so Early Access to Mattel’s 4/15 sale is now open. Up for grabs, for however long the customer service stock lasts, are the Masters of the Universe Classics Mosquitor, Webstor, and the Snake Men 2-pack. I wonder if we’ll see a fast sell-out on the Snake Men from army builders who’ve realized just how great those figures are – but the higher $54 price tag might discourage it a bit. Also available to Early Access participants is the WWE Elite Christian Flashback figure. I wonder how much longer we’ll continue to see WWE figures on MattyCollector, because we still have some of the fan-voted figures still available from last year. Only Andre and Miss Elizabeth were quick sell-outs.

Come 4/15, Mattel will add the Masters of the Universe Classics Snake Face and the DC Universe Classics Larfleeze to the mix for the open sales date. I’ve been looking forward to Larfleeze for a while – he arrives on somewhat of a bittersweet note, as he had originally been announced as bring bound for retail shelves. That was before retailers support for DCUC waivered, resulting in the new All-Stars / Unlimited direction. But hey – Monsieur Mallah and the Brain ship to Club Infinite Earths subscribers this month! Hurray!

For your convenience, here’s the bundle page for the 4/15 MattyCollector sale. It opens up at 9AM PST on Monday. Happy shopping!

ThreeA Toys Real Steel Atom Goes on Sale 4/13

I had not seen the Real Steel movie before Ambush and Midas were offered for pre-sale. And while the story itself was about as formulaic as you can get, I did enjoy the robot fighting. Now I’m pondering about jumping on for Atom and Noisy Boy (my favorite design of the Real Steel bots), and the inevitable Zeus. These should go on sale at 6PM EST on April 13. If the pricing is consistent, Atom should go for $290.

Holy Mez-Itz, Batman! Mezco Announces 1960’s Batman Classic TV Show Line

Mezco Mez-Itz Batman Classic TV Series 1

Warner Bros. licensing is on a tear with the 1960’s Adam West / Burt Ward Batman TV show. At Toy Fair we saw an awesome 18-inch Adam West Batman from NECA and a series of 6-inch Batman figures from Mattel, and now Mezco is in the game with a Mez-Itz line based on the show. Mezco plans to take the line deep, including Batman’s Rogues Gallery from the show with the Penguin, the Joker, Catwoman, the Riddler, and even one of the Riddler’s thugs alongside the Dynamic Duo.

Shown here are the mini 2-inch versions, which allow for Batman and Robin to fit inside the Batmobile. I’m not sure if we’ll be seeing them in the larger 6-inch Mez-Itz scale.

Hot Toys Announces Second Iron Man Diecast – the Mark XLII

Hot Toys Diecast Iron Man Mark XLII 1

It should be no surprise that Hot Toys is making a Mark 42 figure for its Iron Man 3 line. However, they’ve only announced Diecast figures so far – the Hot Toys Diecast Iron Patriot was the first.

It appears that the diecast products will command a $50 premium over their normal (read: plastic) counterparts. The Mark 42 and the Iron Patriot are being sold for around $309.99 by online retailers. The recently announced limited edition (and plastic) Mark VII from the Avengers line is going for $259.99. Both the Mark 42 and the Mark VII feature LED lights, alternate heads and hands, and interchangeable armor pieces for pristine and battle-damaged looks, so it’s a fair comparison.
