Masters of the Universe Classics Moss Man, Evil Lyn, Screech, and Optikk – Action Figure Insider

Mattel was not able to show the upcoming Masters of the Universe Classics “celebrity” figure for San Diego Comic-Con at the MOTU Art Show at Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles last night, but they swapped in a previously unannounced figure – Optikk.

Optikk is from the New Adventures of He-Man, the first from that show announced, and will be the Club Eternia figure in May.  He looks like a pretty decent update of the original toy.

Also on hand were Moss Man and Evil Lyn (with an orb that will fit on her wand or staff), and an armored Screech with perch.

Our friends at Action Figure Insider were on hand.

Venture Brothers Bobble Heads and Figures Coming Soon from Bif Bang Pow!

I’ve loved the Venture Bros. for a while, but it wasn’t until Doubledealer made not one, but two custom figures of Brock Samson that I wanted action figures from the show.  Looks like I won’t have to wait too much longer.  Big Bang Pow! has been awarded the Venture Bros. license, and should have bobble heads in the spring and action figures in the summer.

GO TEAM VENTURE!

Marvel Select War Machine WIP Pics

Art Asylum has posted some in progress pics of the Marvel Select War Machine from the Iron Man 2 movie.  They snuck in a pic of the War Machine Minimate too. 😀

I think the Don Cheadle likeness is spot on, and the armor looks great.  I may have to pick this and Iron Man up – they’re due out March 3.

First Look – Masters of the Universe Classics Battle Cat – TheFwoosh.com

More Battle Cat goodness, this time from the Fwoosh.  I am really starting to wonder how the articulation in his mid-torso moves.  It’s practically invisible, at least from the angle in the unarmored pic here – I had to check to make sure I wasn’t seeing things in Pixel Dan’s video review (you can see it clearly at 4:10 in).

Really, I don’t know what else I can say about Battle Cat without telling you what you probably already see or crossing over to a full-on gush fest (morseso). I know that this is a very subjective and fickle hobby and I have come to realize that even if I really love a figure, someone out there will probably hate it. However, if once you get this figure in hand and you can say that you don’t like it, please leave your address so I can direct the ambulance to your house because you are obviously having a breakdown. I just cannot imagine any action figure fan not digging the hell out of Battle Cat. Come the end of the year, his presence on “Best of” lists will be so ubiquitous some might wonder if any other toys came out this year at all.
