Toyfare 157 to Reveal New Hasbro Marvel Universe and Mattel DCUC, Ghostbusters, and MOTUC Figures

Toyfare 157 leads into San Diego Comic-Con, and it’s due to hit news stands next week. It will feature new figures from Hasbro and Mattel, and thanks to a subscriber who got his issue early, we’ve got the rundown for you.

Hasbro Marvel Universe

The fifth and sixth series of Marvel Universe for 2010 have been revealed by online retailers who posted pre-orders, but you’ll get some nice closeup pics of some of them in Toyfare. In series 5, you’ve got a Team X Wolverine who looks like a revisit to the 90’s Toy Biz Spy Wolverine, a classic Mystique, and Madrox the Multiple Man. Madrox is sporting his duds from the Ultimate Universe, but without his trenchcoat.

From series 6, there’s Hawkeye (Bullseye, spoiler!) from the Dark Avengers, a classic Constrictor, and Thanos. It looks like Thanos is not wearing the Infinity Gauntlet.

Mattel to Sell Masters of the Universe Classics She-Ra and Justice League Unlimited Lobo

In case you missed this with the long weekend, Mattel announced it would be selling two recent MattyCollector.com offerings, the Masters of the Universe Classics She-Ra and the Justice League Unlimited Lobo at San Diego Comic-Con.

And if you need reminding, here’s the rundown of Mattel exclusives at SDCC.

SDCC Update

Hey toy fans!

With SDCC only just over 2 weeks away I wanted to give you a quick update.

First off we will have a full schedule of events, panels, signings, and raffles posted as soon as we lock everything down. SDCC 2010 will feature more brands than ever before participating in the Mattel booth. As always, you can expect a huge showing from all of my favorite collector brands such as DCU, JLU, WWE, MOTUC, Ghostbusters and more!

In addition to our exclusives, we’ll also be selling some other collector product in limited quantities. As announced on my forums, we do have some Lobo figures (for you JLU fans!) and She-Ra figures (for her 25th anniversary!). Both are the same run that sold on Mattycollector.com in June, we just saved a few for SDCC.

A full list will be posted soon. Stay tuned soon for more…and hope to see you all in San Diego!

Masters of the Universe Classics Count Marzo and Whiplash Headline Mattel July and August Sales Dates

After a couple of really busy and frustrating months on MattyCollector.com, at least July will be a bit easier. Just two items – Count Marzo, who may be a character not as hotly demanded, and DC Universe Classics wave 13. This will be the final test for DCUC sets online – so far based on Mattel’s comments, it’s been a mixed bag in terms of performance.
