There are few films that have had such a marketing push and viral marketing strategy as the upcoming TRON Legacy, the sequel, re-imagining of the original 80’s classic TRON. And as usual, with a big movie push, comes big movie merchandise.
The most exciting of the new TRON Legacy line from Spin Master, to me, is the 7″ Impulse-Projection-Technology figures. Admittedly, this is a gimmick, but it’s a damn cool one, and unique at that.
Guess who’ll be making an appearance at NYCC? The New Mutants, that who!
Here they are. The next place you’ll be able to see them is at NYCC. Luckily you’ll be able to buy them there as well. Cannonball, Sunspot, Wolfsbane, and Karma.
As we’ve heard many times in our various interviews with Toy Guru and Mattel, the team for Masters of the Universe Classics has a long term, multi-year plan for the line. By this time of year, I’d guess that they’ve already laid out 2011 – we’ve already seen a handful of the 2011 Masters of the Universe Classics figures at San Diego Comic-Con. Now it’s time for you to vote for the figures you want to see next!
Hey Mattel fans – it’s time for the newest Q&A session of Ask Matty! Thanks to Toy Guru and the gang at Mattel, and happy Friday!
1) You’ve told us that a Masters of the Universe Classics vehicle is planned for late next year. Have you started the product design process? How has the Four Horsemen’s Battle Ram influenced what you will produce for the line?
We have begun preliminary design work. The Horsemen “pitch” vehicle was more of there way of saying, “We can do vehicles too,” since they did not do the vehicles in the 200X line. We are excited to have them on board as we review which vehicle to do!
And, be sure to enter our latest CaptionFigurePics contest for a chance to win a Mattel WWE San Diego Comic-Con exclusive Undertaker and Basic series 1 Batista (both loose) – we’ll publish the winner in a couple of Fridays!
Right Actor. Wrong Figure.
If you are setting up recreations of movies or TV shows with your action figures and you don’t quite have all of the actors in the scene, you can always substitute those actor’s action figures from appearances in other things.
