SDCC 2012: Mattel DC Universe Panel Video

While there was some overlap with the MattyPalooza panel that was earlier in the day yesterday, Mattel took the opportunity in their DC panel to announce their new retail lines for 2013 – Batman Unlimited, DC Universe Unlimited, and a Batman (Adam West) TV series line (to launch in fall 2013). We’ve posted pics earlier of Mattel’s new mystery line (Watchmen, spoilers!) and DC Club Infinite Earths. Enjoy!

SDCC 2012: Mattel Masters of the Universe Classics Club Eternia – At Last, Jitsu!

Pixel Dan may have been rejoicing over Mosquitor – he showed up in costume to battle Toy Guru, cosplaying the Mighty Spector – but we all know that the real travesty that was finally righted was the absence of Jitsu in the Masters of the Universe Classics line. Oh, and Mattel also showed off other, lesser Masters figures that wrap up this year and continue into the 2013 Club Eternia subscription.

You can sign up for Club Eternia right now – go already!

SDCC 2012: ThreeA Toys Halo will Blow the Hell out of those Damn Bugs

ThreeA Halo (1280x1280).jpgThreeA Halo (1) (1279x1280).jpgThreeA Halo (2) (1280x1280).jpgThreeA Halo (3) (1277x1280).jpg

It’s been years since I’ve played a Halo game, but somehow I’m still buying Halo action figures. And it’s been a slippery slope. I bought a few McFarlane figures, and last year Square Enix got me with some of their Play Arts Kai figures. Now, 3A Toys is going to crush this license with super-articulated, super-detailed figures like this bad boy.

Watch out, guys – if you’re resisting 1/6 scale figures, Halo from 3A is a dangerous gateway drug. I dare you to buy this when it comes out and see if you can stop. Don’t say I didn’t warn you! Pretty soon you’ll be hunting down these other 3A figures we saw at SDCC.

On Preview Night, Mattel showed us their Club Infinite Earths Black Mask and Poison Ivy production samples in 6 inches (we had seen them in 2-up format at Toy Fair). Earlier today, at their MattyPalooza panel, Mattel showed us the figures that would round out this year and kick off the subscription next year.
