More Masters of the Universe Classics Tytus Pics

If you’re still wondering about the size of the Masters of the Universe Classics Tytus after Fwoosh’s First Look, SCB shared some pics of a Tytus he was able to procure early. Tytus goes on sale at MattyCollector.com next Monday.

Got an early Tytus today. Figure looks great, most notably the head and armor which clearly are done by the Horsemen. The head resembles King Grayskull. The articulation is pretty bad. All he’s good for is literally standing and looking big. Mine didn’t come with the pooper scooper weapon, which is fine as I never liked it. Worst MOTUC figure quality wise, but I still like him.

Toyfare 155 to Feature New Marvel Universe Galactus San Diego Comic-Con Exclusive

Marvel Universe Masterworks Galactus Package 3 (1024x768).jpg
Retail packaging for the MU Galactus - pick up Toyfare #155 to see the new SDCC packaging

Toyfare #155 hits news stands tomorrow. A subscriber who got his issue early sent along the tidbit that Hasbro reveals a special exclusive for San Diego Comic-Con – a blister-carded version of the Masterworks Galactus that was teased at SDCC last year and revealed in its retail packaging at Toy Fair this year.

Like the other Marvel Universe exclusives for SDCC this year, the Galactus packaging will feature artwork by Joe Quesada, and will come in a case with handle to make lugging him around the show floor that much easier. I didn’t get the scoop if this version will include electronics, but I’m guessing it will. I also don’t know if it will include the Silver Surfer, but I’m guessing it will not.

And for those of you wondering if this means no retail release, my understanding is that Galactus will still find his way to retail as planned, featuring the Mike Deodato packaging shown above.

For more pics of Galactus, check out our Hasbro Marvel Universe report from Toy Fair, and pick up your copy of Toyfare #155 tomorrow at your local comic book store!

Please note that this is early going, and is all subject to change. Still, damn, I’m excited!
