Don’t Miss the Fwoosh DC Universe Classics March Madness Tourney Regional Semifinals

The tourney keeps rolling on, and there’s some more intriguing matchups this round. In Gotham, we have Green Arrow vs. Black Canary. And in Ivy Town, the two matchups look like they’re leading to a Batman vs. Robin matchup in the Regional Finals!

The biggest names in the DCU just keep on keeping on! After a second round filled with pummelings and very curious upsets, the favorites are starting to pull away and some favorite characters (rather than figures) have found their way into the round of 32. This is the lead-in to the matches that will decide the best from each region, so choose wisely.

The routine is the same as before, we will trudge on through the same regions and we have separate voting sites for each.

Masters of the Universe Classics Moss Man

Flocked body? Check! Pine-smelling scent? Check! Sellout in 4 minutes? Arrgh… Check!

Yes, today we’re taking a look at the latest release in the Masters of the Universe line – Moss Man! I have to admit,  I thought I would have to wait for this figure to be re-issued as I was one of those who missed out on his super-quick sellout on the 15th of March. I pretty much expected it since Mattel had announced that the increased  production runs would not take effect until June’s She Ra. Luckily, a friend was able to pick up an extra Moss Man for me so that I would be able to do this pictorial review. So let’s have a look at this rather unique figure.

Seventh Kingdom – Ramathorr and Store Horsemen Exclusive Chalice of Guudenuph

I’m a little behind on posting this, but at the end of last year (ok, more than just a little behind), the Four Horsemen held a sale on items at their online store, the Store Horsemen. Although I passed on the “swimsuit” variant of Queen Alluxandra, I had put off picking up a Ramathorr for long enough. And while I was there, I couldn’t help but pick up a Chalice of Guudenuph, the Store Horsemen exclusive variant pink elephant.

DC Universe Classics The Blue Devil Custom by Buzzy Fret

You’ve probably figured out from the picture that this isn’t a custom of the DC Comics Blue Devil. This Blue Devil was created by my customer, Matt Spaulding back when he was in the 6th grade. Matt’s Blue Devil could best be described as a mix of Green Hornet and Batman.

Pop Culture Shock Announces New Line of Thundercats Statues

For those of you hoping hearing the buzz about a new Thundercats license, here you go. I’ve always liked the Pop Culture Shock mixed media statues, especially the Street Fighter and Darkstalker women. But I’ll still be waiting impatiently for Thundercats action figures.

THUNDERCATS ON TAP FOR POP CULTURE SHOCK COLLECTIBLES

80’s Icons Immortalized in Premium Format Statue Line

NORTHRIDGE, CA (March 26, 2010): Pop Culture Shock Collectibles are pleased to announce they are the newest licensor for the wildly popular 80’s cartoon Thundercats! This licensing agreement with Warner Bros. Consumer Products will bring 1/4 scale mixed media statues to hardcore collector’s homes in 2010.

Pop Culture Shock has made a name for themselves with their Street Fighter™ and Darkstalkers™ statue lines, distributed through Sideshow Collectibles and Diamond Distribution. The 1/4 scale mixed media series offers highly detailed sculpting, beautiful paints and cloth costumes on figures 17” and larger providing a stunning collection for the most discriminating fan. The Thundercats line will adopt this same amazing quality.

“It should come as no surprise that I’m a big fan of 80’s properties” stated Jerry Macaluso, President and Founder of Pop Culture Shock Collectibles. “Street Fighter™ allowed me to bring iconic characters to people’s homes in the most striking format I could conceive. Now, Thundercats will get the star treatment once again that this killer animation classic deserves. We are extremely excited to be working closely with Warner Bros. Consumer Products on this project and can’t wait to show fans of the series what they will soon be able to bring home.”
