Masters of the Universe Classics Battleground Teela Packaged Pics

Battleground Teela will be available in June – even though she’s designated the quarterly A-list variant, I’m looking forward to her more than I do the Faceless One. Mattel took her bio in an unexpected direction – this is Teela after she’s learned she’s the Sorceress’s daughter (and by cloning, really?) and become the new guardian of Castle Grayskull. I always thought she’d make a better companion to Vikor, and will put her next to him in my Preternia display.

Teela’s new look – card front

The continuing story of Teela unfolds….

We just got in a final packaged sample! Enjoy. Battleground Teela goes on sale June 15th (along with the monthly figure Faceless One!) only on Mattycollector.com. She is included in the 2011 Club Eternia subscription as the 2nd quarter A-List variant figure but will also be available to purchase for non subscribers.

WonderCon 2011 – ThunderCats Trailer

I was not able to attend the ThunderCats panel at WonderCon last weekend, but Warner Bros did send us the WonderCon trailer for the new show. My first thought from the opening scenes were that it felt very much like Avatar: The Last Airbender – then I noticed Ethan Spaulding in the press release – one of the producers from Avatar. Now my expectations are even higher.

I’m looking forward to the accompanying action figure series from Bandai. I’ve been thinking primarily about the 8-inch classic figures, but if the show is outstanding, I might have to pick up some of the toys that match up with the new animation style. I’ll reserve judgment, but the trailer is pretty good.

DC Universe Classics Collect & Connect Swap at WonderCon

For the first time, Mattel is hosting a swap meet for DC Universe Classics Collect & Connect pieces at WonderCon this weekend. From the MattyCollector.com Facebook page:

At WonderCon we will be premiering the 1st ever Collect-and-Connect Swap! If you are seeking a CNC piece, you can look through the bucket of CNC pieces to find your treasure. The rule is one in, one out, so bring CNC pieces you want to trade! See you, and your CNC pieces, at WonderCon!

I’ve got to wonder (no pun intended) if all those Gentleman Ghost hoarders will be dumping their Giganta heads and lower torsos. 🙂

>> Some Giganta reviews, for those of you who never completed her: AFP, Articulated Discussion, and Poe Ghostal (credit to these fine sites for the pics above)

Will you be at WonderCon with your spare C&C pieces? If so, the Four Horsemen’s Jim Preziosi will also be participating in Mattel’s “Methods & Materials: Sculpting with Mattel & the Four Horsemen” panel on Saturday from 3 – 4pm in room #104.

Hope to see you there!

Toy Tokyo Art Auction to Benefit Japanese Red Cross Relief Effort

Toy Tokyo Underground, the hosts of the Four Horsemen’s Toypocalypse event during Toy Fair last month, will be hosting an art auction to benefit the Red Cross’s efforts in Japan. There’s a huge number of artists participating, including Ashley Wood from 3A Toys, sculptor Dave Cortez, and the Four Horsemen.

We send our deepest condolences to the people of Japan and those that have lost loved ones in the earthquakes and tsunamis.

In the coming weeks and months it will take the actions of non-profit organizations and thousands of volunteers to search for survivors and begin to rebuild. Toy Tokyo and TT Underground Gallery will support those efforts through a benefit auction to raise money for the Japanese Red Cross Society Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami disaster relief fund.

We will be hosting an art exhibition on April 2nd – April 3rd and will be auctioning art and items from many artists online after the event. We are kindly requesting that you help those in need by participating in the auction.
