DC Collectibles Reveals New 52 Earth 2 Hawkgirl

Before we got tied up with CustomCon 36, DC Collectibles wrapped up another Spoiler Alert game. They revealed the New 52 Hawkgirl. Some folks had it guessed from the first image (a portion of her wings) but I had no idea – not reading the New 52 Earth 2 didn’t help.

The grumpy old man in me wants to know why they had to mess with her color scheme – I know New 52 is, well, new, but I’d like more nods to the history, and the brown, red, green, and yellow always worked for the Thanagarians. Hawkgirl’s still a Thanagarian, right?

ThreeA Toys Adventures of Isobelle Pascha Kuma and Pony-Tail Pre-Order Today 12/19

3A Toys is offering a trio of bear-suited Isobelle Paschas for pre-order later today. 3AA members will be able to get a 3-pack of pony-tailed variants, each of which may show up in blind-boxed singles available to everyone.

I’ve not bought a lot of the Adventures of Isobelle Pasche figures – they are a little heavy on the fetish side for me, and bear-suited versions take it even further. But if this is your kind of thing, check out Bambaland starting today at 5PM PST.

KUMA PASCHA, let’s go bearing!

On sale this Friday, Dec. 20th at 9:00am Hong Kong time

Mattel Missing the Mark with Epic Creations?

Movie Masters™ Epic Creations™ DC Classic TV Series Batman™ Utility Belt Movie Masters™ Epic Creations™ Ghostbusters™ Neutrino Wand

Maybe I’ve been conditioned over the years by quick sell-outs, but it was still somewhat of a shock to check in on the Mattycollector December sale to find that the big three Epic Creations items, the Masters of the Universe Classics Castle Grayskull, and the prop replicas for the Batman Utility Belt and the Ghostbusters Neutrino Wand, are all still in stock. None of the three are even at the point where they’ve got the special tags indicating they’re “Almost Gone.” This is particularly surprising for the Castle – from the point of pre-order through the pre-hype for this sale, Mattel has consistently said that they’d have just a very limited amount of Castles for day-of sales.

If we don’t see this change in the short term, here’s what I’ve reasoned could be behind the slower than expected sales.
