Reminder: Masters of the Universe Classics Vikor, Eternian Guards, the Goddess and More on Sale 1/18

I’m looking forward to January’s sale date at MattyCollector.com – because it will be one of the few times this year I’ll have to go online to fight the hoards for a non-subscription item, in this case the Eternia Palace Guards 2-pack. I would guess that the Goddess subbing in for Evil-Lyn as the re-issue will help ease the competition, but also can see army builders going for the 2-pack in a big way.

If you’re just looking for the courtroom Peter Venkman, I’d guess that he’ll stick around for a while after the initial rush for MOTUC has died down.

1/18 SALE UPDATE: The Goddess Trumps Evil-Lyn

Just as we were ready to confirm our list of products for Tuesday’s sale, Evil-Lyn® went all diva and decided she would be a no-show. Luckily, The Goddess offered to check her ego at the garden gate and has stepped in to take her place, so once again, good triumphs. Take THAT, Evil-Lyn®!*

So, here’s our really, truly, final list of products that’ll be available on Tuesday, January 18th:

Please note The Goddess won’t be a re-issue; we’ll be offering remaining customer service stock. As always, the sale starts at 9 a.m. Pacific (12 noon Eastern), so don’t forget to mark your calendar. I send reminder emails, too, so click here if you haven’t registered yet, You can follow me on Twitter and Facebook, too.

P.S. Evil-Lyn® can’t play coy forever. Her reissue is still coming; it has just slipped out a month or two. Look for an update on availability soon.

Ghostbusters PKE Meter Available on MattyCollector.com

If you had stopped by Mattycollector.com today to check on your shipping notices or to pick up something else from their Cyber Monday sale, you might have encountered a surprising WSOD, even though Cyber Monday ended, well, on Monday. Today’s sale of the Ghostbusters PKE, plus the remaining stock for Cyber Monday was enough to turn on the metering lights.

I’m wondering if Talyn has picked up this prop yet. He’s a big Ghostbusters fan. The PKE meter was still available when I checked last night.

Ghostbusters™ PKE Meter -$60.00

If you ever find yourself on the verge of a four-fold crossrept − a PKE surge of incredible, even dangerous proportions − then you’re going to want all the ghost bustin’ gadgets you can get… especially our movie-accurate PKE Meter, available for the first time from Mattel! This prop replica features light sequences from both Ghostbusters™ and Ghostbusters™ II, adjustable LED and screen animation speeds, three screen displays as seen in the films (diagonal, off, arc) and opening wings!

This item is available for purchase on 12/1 with an approximate shipping date of 12/12.

AFP Ask Matty Round-Up for 12/1/10

The crew from Mattel is back with another edition of Ask Matty. Our thanks to Toy Guru and the gang!

1) This may be a question for the Four Horsemen – what’s desired for the DC Universe Classics line for head size? Some of the early figures had heads on the smaller size, like Batman and Aquaman, while some of the more recent figures seem to have oversized heads, like Guy Gardner, Alan Scott, and OMAC. Is this an intentional move to make the heads bigger?

Sometimes it is intentional, based on character; sometimes it is due to tooling issues. We do strive for consistency but it is not a perfect world and sometimes not everything comes out the way design wants. In some cases, like with the corrected height Sinestro coming to TRU next month, we try to fix things when we can!
