We’re on the show floor at New York Comic Con. Here’s some quick pics of Mezco’s booth.

Sadly, I failed in my mission to get a green-suited Heisenberg. Luckily, Axe Cop looks like a lot of fun.

Mattycollector front man Toy Guru, accompanied by Cornboy and Eric Treadaway from the Four Horsemen, updated New York Comic Con attendees with Mattel’s collector-oriented plans for 2014. For their healthiest line, Masters of the Universe Classics, it was business as usual, but with Stan Lee’s Comikaze in a couple of weeks, the reveals were at a minimum – Flogg from New Adventures and a tease of Robot Faker. On the fan vote for New Adventures 2015, Mara won – no big surprise, as I’m sure many people who did vote but didn’t care about New Adventures just went for the female character.
On the DC front, the four revealed figures for the failed 2014 Club Infinite Earths sub will be released as day of figures quarterly, with the jail-suited Doomsday as a SDCC 2014 exclusive. I have a hard time understanding the jail suit over the infinitely better “unleashed” version – I can’t believe that the better sales numbers that version would yield didn’t justify the increased tooling.
And there’s more – check out our video of the panel. We missed a small portion when the recording hit the limit, but that was just Two Bad and Glimmer, and you’ve seen them before, right?
Our video update of the Mattypalooza panel at New York Comic-Con is coming up. In the meantime, here’s some quick pics of Mattel’s booth after the panel.

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!)

It’s been a busy few days, but I live for the Fridays that I can post a new installment from Bill’s Comics. His latest features Captain America and Daredevil, which is fitting, because Cap has a movie coming out in a few months, and Daredevil… will be the new Batman in the next Superman movie. I know – that one hurts. But enjoy this comic!

If you weren’t convinced at San Diego Comic-Con that Construct-Bots were going to be the driving force for the Transformers line this year, maybe this slew of product imagery will. There’s a ton of them coming out for the holidays, including new Beast Hunters-themed figures.
