Does Club 200X Have the Power?

Masters of the Universe Classics Club 200X 3-12

With a week and a half left before the Club 200X subscription closes, the crew at Mattycollector has left us a bit in the dark with respect to the subscription’s status. When the sub opened a few weeks back on February 23rd, Skeletor’s Love Child, the new Matty front man who replaced Toy Guru, banished the subscription meter, and promised updates instead.

Then on the 27th and March 4th, Matty published how the Club was doing – 27% and 39% respectively. Now, it’s been over a week since that last update. Is no news good news? Does this make you miss the meter?

The Hero of Canton is a Previews Exclusive

Funko Legacy Firefly Jayne Cobb Previews exclusive with knit hat

The first figure I saw of the Funko Legacy Firefly action figures at the Diamond Distributors booth at Toy Fair was Jayne Cobb, all by his lonesome, with the wool knit cap his momma sewed him. That prompted me to look for the rest of the series – and when I saw him packaged, he was hatless. I had assumed he’d come with both heads.

Turns out that the version with his knit cap will be a Previews exclusive. While I think both Jaynes (and the rest of the crew of Serenity) look great, I’ll probably want the momma’s boy version. That just means if I pick up these figures, I’ll be shopping first at my local comic book stores. The Funko Legacy Firefly figures are due out in 2Q this year. Shiny!

He robbed from the rich and he gave to the poor.
Stood up to the Man and he gave him what for.
Our love for him now ain’t hard to explain,
The Hero of Canton, the man they call Jayne.

New Reveals from Four Horsemen for Mythic Legions Kickstarter Final Day

Mythic Legions Barbarian Builder Set

The Mythic Legions Kickstarter project is in its final day of funding – it’s already surpassed the funding threshold and then all the stretch goals, so all planned figures and accessory packs will go into production. But that hasn’t stopped the Four Horsemen from continuing to reveal new figures, accessories, and deco updates. With one day to go, here are the latest enticements they’ve shared:

  • Deluxe Barbarian army builder set – available as a $50 add-on, the barbarian includes a ton of interchangeable parts allowing you to give each one you add to your barbarian horde its own unique look
  • Fantastic Exclusive winner – the Blood Armor champ was designed for the fans, by the fans
  • Weapons Accessory Pack 4 – at $50, you’ll be getting 10 war standards for your legions to carry into battle, and a bearded axe, just because
  • Tibius deco update – the Four Horsemen told me they were going to spruce the skeleton champ up a bit to distinguish him from the army builders – he gets war paint on his skull, a tattered cape, and some more paint apps on his armor – the hinged jaw is still a possibility, but isn’t confirmed
  • Want to go All-In? – backing at $1,050 gets you all the figures and weapons packs, and it’s an even better deal with all the stretch goals unlocked – note that stands are still a separate add-on

Today’s the last day you can back the project. If you’re unsure of what you want (I still don’t know just how many skeletons and orcs I’m getting), I’d encourage you to at least back at any of the $30 pledge levels. From there you’ll be able to access add-ons for about a month after the funding campaign closes tomorrow, via the BackerKit survey the Four Horsemen will send out shortly afterwards.

Pre-Order the Marvel Legends Thanos Wave at Amazon

Toy Fair 2015 Hasbro Marvel Legends Thanos (3 of 14)

If you are looking to pick up the Thanos Build-a-Figure in the next Marvel Legends Infinite Series wave, you may have the best opportunity to do so at Amazon. Figures are available to pre-order individually for $21.99 each and qualify for Prime shipping. They’re due to ship May 25.

To avoid duplicate BAF pieces, pick up five of the six figures. Just pick one of the two Fierce Fighters – Spider-Woman or Hellcat. If you don’t mind an extra Thanos head and arm, get them both.

Check out all the figures inĀ our Toy Fair 2015 Marvel Legends Report. And thanks once again to Paul for another timely heads-up!
