The DC Universe Classics sub lives – kind of. Doomsday is an SDCC exclusive – kind of. Total Heroes will satisfy fans with Mattycollector offerings – kind of. I’ll try to be a glass half full guy from now on – kind of. For Masters of the Universe Classics, it’s Extendar and Flogg steaming up the display cabinets. Toy Guru is holding firm on the no Unnamed One reveal until he shows up on your doorstep (if you subbed!)

To get you the pics you want as fast as I can, I’m hooking you into my Instagram feed. If you’re on Instagram, follow me at afpron – that’s for AFP Ron, not AF Pron :). Stay tuned for better pictures soon.

NYCC 2013: Mattel Masters of the Universe Classics and More

NYCC 2013 - Mattel Masters of the Universe (1 of 17)

Consider this a pre-cursor to the main event, since Mattel’s Mattypalooza panel is later this morning. The shots here represent what was revealed up through Power-Con (Scorpia, Blade, and Battle Lion) plus a couple of new things – first, Extendar was teased via his shield at Power-Con, and now we’ve got the full figure, and second, Mattel is adding a MOTU Mini line, styled after the SDCC exclusive two-pack for the Most Powerful Game Alive. What might turn off some of you who started with that 2-pack – the new figures will be slightly smaller. But they do come with parts of a Build-a-Castle-Grayskull.

The Unnamed One is still sitting with a cloth covering him up. Is it time for the big reveal here at NYCC? Think anything else will be shown for 2014?

DC Collectibles Reveal New Earth 2 Action Figure Line and More for New York Comic Con

DC Collectibles has released pics of its Earth 2 action figures and their upcoming statue commemorating Neil Gaiman’s return to Sandman. Call me old school, but I find a lot of the new Earth 2 designs hokey. Wonder Woman is the most appealing, with the cues to the Golden Age Wonder Woman, but Green Lantern and especially Flash look particularly silly.

Here’s a quick on from Hasbro for the upcoming Star Wars Rebels toy line, to support the new animated series.

STAR WARS REBELS continues the epic tradition of the legendary Star Wars saga with all-new exciting, action-packed adventures. It is a dark time in the galaxy, as the evil Galactic Empire tightens its grip of power from world to world. As the series begins, Imperial forces have occupied a remote planet, ruling with an iron fist and ruining the lives of its people. But there are a select few who are brave enough to stand up against the endless Stormtroopers and TIE fighters of the Empire: the clever and motley crew of the starship Ghost. Together, this ragtag group will face threatening new villains, have thrilling adventures, and become heroes.

Hasbro’s STAR WARS REBELS line, featuring highly detailed 3.75-inch action figures with multiple points of articulation, is coming to a galaxy near you in 2014.
