Masters of the Universe Classics Vikor Update from Mattel

I know Buzzy is going to be relieved that the shoulders on the Masters of the Universe Classics Vikor, due out in January, are not reversed. I never noticed on the first He-Man, so I probably wouldn’t be able to tell on Vikor either.

He-Fans,

There is a rumor going around that Vikor’s shoulder were reveresed. It is possible a sample we sent out may be defective, but Scott Neitlich from marketing and  Bill Benecke and Terry Higuchi from design just went over 7 different final samples of Vikor in detail. Every single one is correct.

There is always a chance one single figure may be wrong (and I regret if this error figure was sent out as a PR sample). But I do assure fans that Vikor is correct!

See you in the toy aisles!

Masters of the Universe Classics Buzz-Off, Christopher Reeves Superman and More on Sale 12/15

I’ll be really interested to see how the 12-inch Christopher Reeves Superman does this round. He and General Zod, who was previously released, will probably help Mattel gauge whether they should continue developing figures in this scale. These two figures will be accompanied by the MOTUC Buzz-Off, the JLU Darkseid and Kalibak 2-pack, and the Masters of the Universe art prints that were sold briefly at San Diego Comic-Con.

Here’s a link to the bundle page for your convenience. Happy shopping!

Masters of the Universe Classics Sy-Klone Preview Pics

Buzzy’s not a fan of Sy-Klone, but while I never had the original figure or his remake in 200X, I like what they’ve done with him for Classics. The figure aims to please both vintage and 200X fans by making the ring that was part of the remake removable on this figure. It also looks like he’ll still have an ab crunch, but if it is indeed there, the chest piece will likely restrict movement.

Previewed in Toy Fare magazine this month, here are some more image of April 2011’s Club Eternia figure! He comes complete with shield and clip on Solar Ring. The final radar sticker will be a lenticular just like the original toy!

Enjoy and see you in the forums!

Hot Toys Announces TRON: Legacy Kevin Flynn

162957_469730677343_58690437343_6085873_3172187_n.jpg

Kevin Flynn joins his son (Sam Flynn and his Light Cycle were announced about two weeks ago) as the second Hot Toys figure from TRON: Legacy. I think the head sculpt needs to be tweaked a little bit. I do see Jeff Bridges in it, but I think the eyes are a little too close together and slope down too much. We’ll see if Hot Toys will adjust this ahead of release.
