NYCC 2013: Hasbro Transformers Generations Optimus Prime Leader Scale Reveal

If you were hoping for a lot of Transformers reveals from last night’s Hasbro pre-NYCC party, I hate to disappoint you. For their traditional lines, they put out a Generation Leader scale Optimus Prime.

I don’t follow Transformers closely enough to know, but it seems like with the hit movies a couple years back, maybe it’s a bit slower at retail for the brand. But as we’ll see, the new Construct-Bots line is going strong.

NYCC 2013: Pop Culture Shock Collectibles Masters of the Universe, Street Fighter, and More

I didn’t have a plan when I got on the floor at New York Comic Con yesterday, but I lucked out and ran right into the display area for Pop Culture Shock Collectibles. Jerry Macaluso has carved out a nice niche of high-end collectibles, including statues, busts, and mixed media sculpture. Unfortunately for me, it’s way out of my budget.

NYCC 2013: Mattel DC Comics Multiverse – Batman and Superman Movies Wave

For as long as there’s been Batman and Superman figures, collectors have been asking for figures from the classic Michael Keaton Batman and Christopher Reeve Superman films. After the Nolan-verse Batman and Man of Steel Movie Masters, I know collectors were hoping for the expansion of that line, and were further encouraged by the Batman 1966 Classic TV Series figures.

So you can imagine my surprise when Mattel decided to introduce from the Keaton and Reeve movies, but choose to do it in the DC Comics Multiverse 3.75-inch line. And while I think generally speaking, the figures look decent for ones in the small scale, I struggle to shake off the notion that this is not a friendly move towards collectors who supported the movie and TV figures in the existing 6-inch scale.

NYCC 2013: Mattel Masters of the Universe Classics and More

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?
