AFP Ask Matty Round-Up for 4/1/11

Matty assures us that despite today being April Fool’s Day, these answers are completely legit! Thanks to the Mattel team for this round of Ask Matty.

1) We’re excited for MattyCollector.com’s Collector Appreciation Tour this year – it’ll be great to give folks who may not be able to make it to San Diego Comic-Con a chance to see the upcoming collectibles in person at C2E2, WonderCon, DragonCon, and New York Comic Con. Are you planning to have new reveals at each of these shows? We’ve gotten a close look at what you had on display at C2E2 – any surprises in store for WonderCon?

We will have some reveals at each show but it won’t be as much as we have at NYTF or SDCC and there won’t be reveals for every line. More like one or two figs for one or two lines per show.

DC Universe Classics Collect & Connect Swap at WonderCon

DCUC 8 Gentleman Ghost (900x1200).jpg

For the first time, Mattel is hosting a swap meet for DC Universe Classics Collect & Connect pieces at WonderCon this weekend. From the MattyCollector.com Facebook page:

At WonderCon we will be premiering the 1st ever Collect-and-Connect Swap! If you are seeking a CNC piece, you can look through the bucket of CNC pieces to find your treasure. The rule is one in, one out, so bring CNC pieces you want to trade! See you, and your CNC pieces, at WonderCon!

I’ve got to wonder (no pun intended) if all those Gentleman Ghost hoarders will be dumping their Giganta heads and lower torsos. 🙂

>> Some Giganta reviews, for those of you who never completed her: AFP, Articulated Discussion, and Poe Ghostal (credit to these fine sites for the pics above)

Will you be at WonderCon with your spare C&C pieces? If so, the Four Horsemen’s Jim Preziosi will also be participating in Mattel’s “Methods & Materials: Sculpting with Mattel & the Four Horsemen” panel on Saturday from 3 – 4pm in room #104.

Hope to see you there!

DC Universe Classics All-Star Deathstroke the Terminator

The DC Universe Classics Wave 16 All-Star Deathstroke I ordered from Amazon was delivered to me a couple weeks ago, so I figured it was about time I got my lazy ass in gear and put up some pics and thoughts about the deadly Mr.Wilson.

Q: What’s Better Than Storing Your Action Figures in Big Plastic Tubs? v3

A: Actually having space to display them! 🙂

I waffled on whether to call this the third installment in a series of posts showing off the now not-so-new action figure display – because this is really not much of an update. In the first installment, I talked about setting up a new action figure display consisting of shelving cubes, after we put in new carpet. In the second, I talked about adding tap lights to that display.

For this mini-installment, I’m going to talk about running out of room, primarily in my Mattel cubes.
