Masters of the Universe Classics Adora Press Pics

Earlier in the week, Mattel teased us with a pic of the outer mailer box for Adora – like with Battle Armor He-Man, the box now includes text indicating what figure is contained within.  I imagine there’ll be a subset of MOC collectors who will want their mailer boxes in pristine shape now. 😀

I think Adora looks ok – I think she may look somewhat plain in the midst of more bold-looking figures.  I’m also not enamored with how the “sheath” covering her crotch and booty look.  It feels somewhat bloated.  Many people have wanted the MOTUC females to have more junk in the trunk, but I don’t think this is what they envisioned.

Okay, here she is

Pics speak for themselves. Coming in January. Let the 25th anniversary begin!

Masters of the Universe Classics He-Man Re-release Press Pics

We’re still waiting for carded pics of Battle Cat, but for now Mattel has published images of the upcoming He-Man re-release.  He’ll be available on November 16 with Scareglow.  The inclusion of “The Original” on the packaging is a nod back to the original toy line, when re-releases included that designation.

I have the original release, and am pondering whether to pickup another He-Man.  Right now I’m leaning towards passing – I don’t mind the paint apps on the first, and it’ll already be a big month with the DC Universe Classics Color of Fear 2-pack.  But this will still be a great opportunity for folks who want to jump into the line.

He-Man re-release images


As you know, He-Man is coming back to MattyCollector.com on Nov 16th. We made a few minor corrections to the pain [sic] ops (specially pushing back on the gloss and the red around his eyes) and corrected the crotch joint.

His packaging also has a new “The Original” burst. This burst will be used throughout the line on all second run figures (i.e. Skeletor in December) to help mint in package collectors tell the first and second release apart.

Get him while he lasts only on MattyCollector.com!

Mezco Mez-Itz Perseus and Freddy Krueger Available in April 2010

Also coming in April 2010 from Mezco are two new Mez-Itz, Perseus from Clash of the Titans and Freddy Krueger.

Clash of the Titans is the second time in recent memory that I’ve learned of an upcoming blockbuster movie because of toys – the first was Prince of Persia when McFarlane announced its toy lines for it.  The Clash of the Titans movie comes out in March next year.

Clash of the Titans PerseusPerseus Clash of the Titans Mez-Itz

The son of Zeus is reimagined as a Mez-It, 6″ rotocast vinyl collectibles that are cool by design. The tamer of Pegasus and the slayer of Medusa becomes part of Mezco’s designer vinyl line and comes complete with his sword of the gods. Perseus features five points of articulation and is packaged in a collector friendly window box. Clash of the Titans, a big budget remake of the 1981 film version of the myth of Perseus and his quest to battle both Medusa and the Kraken monster in order to save the Princess Andromeda, comes to theatres in March, 2010.

As far as I know, Nightmare on Elm Street isn’t one of the horror franchises that has a new movie coming out, but you know I’m out of touch with what’s happening in Hollywood.  This Mez-Itz features a new design that is different from the Freddy that comes with Jason Vorhees in a two-pack that should be hitting any day now.

Freddy KruegerNightmare On Elm Street Freddy Kreuger Mez-It

The terror of Elm Street is reimagined as a Mez-It, 6″ rotocast vinyl collectibles that are cool by design. The disfigured dream stalker becomes part of Mezco’s designer vinyl line and comes complete with his removable hat and his trademark lethal glove. Freddy Krueger features five points of articulation and is packaged in a collector friendly window box.

Available April 2010

Family Guy Classics Series 2 Available in April 2010

Family Guy fans, take heart that the Classics series is continuing.  Series 2 was just put up on Mezco Direct for pre-order, arriving in April next year.  I did not see the first series of Classics in person, so I’m not sure if the figures come with all of the original accessories.

Mezco’s line of six inch scale rotocast figures from the Emmy-award winning animated TV show, continues, including show accurate accessories.

Series 2 includes:

  • Secret Agent Astronaut Millionaire Peter
  • Bed Time Stewie
  • Cleveland (star of the new The Cleveland Show!)

The first episode of The Family Guy aired in 1999, and 10 years later the show is more popular than ever, with over 18 million weekly viewers and top-rated DVD sales! New episodes air weekly on FOX TV, and syndicated episodes can be seen multiple times a night on TBS and Cartoon Network.

Set includes 1 of each figure.

Available April 2010.

UFC Wave 2 Press Pics

JAKKS Pacific has updated its UFC Facebook page with pics of the second wave of action figures. It looks like they’ve adjusted the head sizes a bit, at least on some of the fighters – the oversized noggins are the biggest drawback of the line for me.

Next up, the scrawny legs. 😀
