The 200X Whiplash was my favorite re-envisioning of a Masters character, so I am psyched that Mattel has included a modern head to go with the Masters of the Universe Classics Whiplash. You can see more pics of Whiplash at our Toy Fair 2010 Mattel Masters of the Universe Classics Update.
Whiplash carded!
We just got in carded samples of Whiplash – enjoy!
Whiplash goes on sale Aug 15th on Mattycollector.com!
Lots of Mattel news today, but don’t forget that June 15 is the MattyCollector.com sale date. And I’m guessing with She-Ra, Keldor, DC Universe Classics Wave 5, Peter Venkman, and Lobo on sale, it’ll be a bit rough.
Use the June 15 bundle page for all sale items on one page, for easier ordering. Good luck!
Toy Guru was a day early with the mid-month edition of Ask Matty… or are we going to be a day late submitting questions for the next one? Thanks to him and Mattel for this round of Q&A.

A couple of weeks ago, HasbroToyShop.com started selling their Marvel Universe Wave 8 figures online, it was a quick sellout, and I missed it. I was really looking forward to this wave, as some of the figures included in this wave have some nice, unique sculpts and upgraded articulation. So as soon as they re-listed the figures on the site, I didn’t hesitate to pick these guys up. I managed to pick up Juggernaut, the A.I.M. Soldier, and Colossus, which are the figures I was most excited about (the other figures of this wave are Archangel, Havok and Shadowcat). So what was all my excitement about? Let’s find out!
