Masters of the Universe Classics Roboto and Zodac on Sale 10/15

Hey, it’s a quiet month for Matty in October, with just two Masters of the Universe Classics items on sale. Roboto may be a big draw, but it was a surprise that Zodac is not a reissue – sounds like Mattel is clearing out remaining stock that was held over from the original sale.

But don’t forget next week’s sale (see the release schedule through November.) With Gygor as the oversized quarterly figure, it might be tough.

10/15 SALE: MOTUC Roboto® and Zodac®

Toy Fans,

If you’re a MOTUC fan, then you’re gonna dig our October 15th sale because we’ve got two figures just for you!

Roboto® — The October Club Eternia™ Monthly Figure was inspired by the classic ‘80s toy, so he’s got gears that work and three arm attachments.

Zodac® — The man in charge of keeping peace in the universe returns once again. Note: This is limited stock from Customer Service, so it won’t have the “The Original” burst on the box.

The sale starts here at MattyCollector.com on Friday, October 15th at 9 a.m. Pacific (12 noon Eastern).

Wal-Mart Exclusive DC Universe Classics Green Lantern’s Light 5-Pack

Green Lantern 5-Pack (1200x676).jpg

It was at Toy Fair earlier this year when I first saw the 2-ups for Guy Gardner and Tomar-Re – two essential characters from the Green Lantern comic books that hadn’t yet been made in DC Universe Classics. I was psyched – Guy was my most wanted GL, and Tomar-Re is a classic Green Lantern. Now that I have them in hand, with John Stewart, Hal Jordan, and Sinestro in his Green Lantern duds, I wish I could tell you I was more pleased with the set.

ThreeA Toys First Action Portable Figure on Sale at Bambasia on 9/9

…sends word that the first ever Action Portable figure ever, a Tomorrow King will be available this friday at 10-00am Hong Kong time,  in a set with a Severed bot head. The TK comes on a blister card and the head comes boxed separately.
This fig…

Update: the Action Portable Tomorrow King will be available both at Bambasia *and* Bambaland.

The Action Portable TK will be available in both Bambaland and Bambasia, in equal amounts tomorrow at 10-00am Hong Kong time (10th sept). There are six standard Action Portable TK’s (Blind, as in you dont get to pick! ), plus chase TK’s that will be inserted randomly into orders.

We’re big fans of 3A Toys WWRp line, because the 1/12 scale counterpart to the 1/6 World War Robot line is a bit more affordable to guys who are used to spending $10 – $15 on a figure. So the news that Action Portable, the 1/12 scale companion to lines like the Tomorrow Kings, Popbots, and Action Kartel, will launch this Thursday on a new site has got me pumped up.

I’m also a little nervous, because sellouts are quick, and this figure, a Tomorrow King with a giant robot severed head, is certainly going to be ultra-popular.

You’ll find the item on sale on bambasia.com on Thursday at 7PM PST / 10PM EST for those of you who are time zone challenged. If Chinese isn’t your thing, a helpful 3A member created this translation. Good luck on drop day!
