Our good friends at Jazwares have shared some early pics of upcoming Mortal Kombat 4-inch figures. They won’t have any display space at San Diego Comic-Con this year, but we’ll see if we can catch up with them, as they’ll be in attendance.
I wanted give you a sneek peek at the 4in Klassic Ninjas and 4in Klassic Cyber Assassins.
PLEASE NOTE: These are all pending approval and might change, these are painted tooling models.
A brilliant yet evil genius, Dr. Terror fused half his body to a powerful computer system in a bizarre operation which he himself developed. Now programmed for the ultimate evil, he challenges The Centurions in a fight to rule the world! His cyborg half, Syntax launches a powerful missile and a grasping cleaver claw!
DC Universe Classics Wave 17, the Rainbow Lantern wave, is on sale now at Amazon – and I’m going to need your help. See, I’m a Prime customer, which means for many items I get free 2-day shipping and no sales tax. Since all of the wave 17 figures qualify and only the Black Lantern Hal Jordan is priced above normal, I’ve got a dilemma.
I was mixed on most of the wave when it was first rumored, and now I am still conflicted. Will I feel like I missed out on the Anti-Monitor Collect & Connect when these are long gone? And hey, the Orange Lantern Lex and the Sinestro Corps Scarecrow are both pretty cool. So, what do you think – buy the full wave, cherry pick, or skip it entirely?
Mattel’s Mad Matty Monday (whew that’s a mouthful) is on – right now, in fact! If you’re willing to plunk down $40 plus shipping for a random grab bag, you could hit it big! If I didn’t have the Club Eternia subscription for Masters of the Universe Classics, I’d probably pick up one of those. Since figures are $20 and up, you’d be getting $40 easy – unless they saddle you with 3 sets of stands – but they’ve already said each pack would exceed the $40 mark.
It applies even more so for Ghostbusters, since there’s not an item in that brand that goes below $20. In the DCU brand, I’m more wary, because I only collect DC Universe Classics, and I’d just have to find other homes for JLU or Retro Super Heroes stuff.
Toy Fans,
Don’t like Mondays? Forget about it – I’m about to chase away those blues with my new Mad Matty Monday sale! What exactly is Mad Matty Monday? It’s a special sale that will happen on various Mondays throughout the year, whenever the mood strikes me. You never know what will be offered but it’s guaranteed to be insanely awesome, that’s why it’s called Mad Matty Monday!
The first one is June 27th and I’ve created three different product bundles. Each one will cost $40 plus shipping. No hints on what’s inside… they’re called Mystery Packs for a reason! I will guarantee, however, that each one has three items inside and the value of the pack definitely exceeds the $40 price. You’ll want to get there early because quantities on most of the items are extremely low.
There are no limits – you can buy as many of each one as you want and all packs purchased in a single transaction will ship together for even bigger savings. Here are the packs you’ll be able to choose from:
The sale starts Monday, June 27th at 9 a.m. PT (12 p.m. ET) and goes through July 11th at 8 a.m. PT, unless all items are sold out before then. Want reminders? Like all sales, I post them on Facebook, Twitter and in our Fan Forums. I’ll send an email reminder, too, so click here to register.
See you on the 27th – it’s gonna be crazy good!
—Matty
P.S. Because of limitations on commercial shipments, this sale is only open to US customers.
