Mattel San Diego Comic-Con Exclusives – Official Details and Pics

Mattel has released the official descriptions and pictures of their San Diego Comic-Con Exclusives that they announced on Attack of the Show (part 1 | part 2). They promised more reveals, and they came through with previously unannounced exclusives for Cars and Justice League Polly Pockets.

I’m psyched about face-hugger Starros for my DC Universe Classics Justice League, but is it weird that I’m excited about the dentist’s chair that comes with Mo-Larr? 🙂

Hot Toys Iron Man 2 Mark IV Press Pics

I am sorely tempted to cancel my pre-order for the Battle-Damaged Mark III armor in exchange for the Mark IV. The new ab articulation looks like it will move pretty well.

Mattel Ghostbusters, Toy Story, WWE, and Avatar Exclusives Announced on Attack of the Show

Game Trailers – E3 2010 – AOTS Exclusive

Attack of the Show aired part two of Blair Butler’s visit with Mattel’s Toy Guru, aka Scott Neitlich, where they covered the remaining exclusives for San Diego Comic-Con. We had guessed at some of these looking at snapshots of the video clips from the first reveal, but we hadn’t seen the Toy Story exclusive before tonight. Without further ado, here’s what was shown:

The Real Ghostbusters Retro-Action Heroes Peter Venkman – Mattel kicks off an extension to the Ghostbusters license with Mego-styled figures from the popular animated series. For SDCC, Venkman comes in his movie colors, as the Real Ghostbusters appeared in the episode, “Citizen Ghost.”
Toy Story 3 Lots-O’-Huggin’ Bear – this new Toy Story character, voiced by Ned Beatty in the upcoming third movie in the Toy Story series, will only be available as an SDCC and MattyCollector.com exclusive. The movie opens June 18, so Lots-O should have lots of companions on shelves waiting for him to join. He’ll apparently come with a shortcake scent.
WWE Wrestlemania XV Undertaker – this exclusive looks like an Entrance Great, with the Undertaker appearing in his Ministry of Darkness costume from Wrestlemania XV when he faced the Big Boss Man in the “Hell in a Cell” cage match. If it’s an Entrance Great, it will come with a base and sound chip that plays his entrance music. This version of the Undertaker will only be available as an SDCC and MattyCollector.com exclusive.
Avatar “Final Battle” Jake Sully vs. Colonel Quaritch – Jake gets a new head, the AMP gets some battle-damage, and they all get new accessories. A full diorama in package will make you think twice about opening it.

Toy Guru promises even more reveals, so check back again tomorrow.

HeroClix Batman and Catwoman with Bat Signal Redemption

I haven’t dipped my toes into HeroClix, but keep getting tempted when I think about some of the giant figures I have. My DC Universe Classics Giganta could use some Heroclix to beat up on. Bats and Catwoman here are a special offer figure. Since they’ll be limited in quantity, you’ll want to secure yours soon after the offer goes live at 1PM EST today.

Seeking Redemption

With The Brave and The Bold release right around the corner, I wanted to let you know how we are going to handle the mail away redemption for the Batman and Catwoman brick figure.

Tomorrow at about 1:00 pm EST well kick live www.wizkidsgames.com/buyitbythebrick and you’ll find the forms you’ll need to complete the redemption process.

The process is very similar to previous redemptions except for the following:

The redemption form will be hosted on our website

We’ve made the redemption form an editable PDF. No more messy handwriting!

All redemption forms & payments will be mailed to Alliance games in Fort Wayne, Indiana U.S.A. (keep reading)

European redemptions will be shipped from a UK distribution center

All other territories will be shipped out of the US distribution center

International payment options will be honored here in the U.S.

In order to ensure that international redemptions are on a level playing field with domestic orders, we’ll reserve a percentage of the brick figures for international redemptions only. We’ll inventory balance as necessary and make sure all territories are treated in a fair manner.

In the event that we run out of numbered brick figures before the program expiration (July 16, 2010), we’ll announce the sell out and make a, time limited, last call for The Brave and The Bold redemptions. All redemptions gathered during the “last call period” will be processed and we’ll reprint unnumbered versions of the Brick figures.
