Hey folks – just a quick reminder that Monday 5/16 is the MattyCollector sales date. Masters of the Universe Classics has Catra plus She-Ra and two other re-issues. The first of the MattyCollector exclusive Green Lantern Movie Masters, Green Man, is also up for sale.
Mattel is also experimenting with retail figures going online individually with Green Lantern Classics wave 2. From what I hear, the Dex-Starr, B’dg, and Despotellis 3-pack is the shortpacked item, so don’t miss your chance to get it while you can. Here’s a quick link to the bundle page. Happy shopping!
5/16 SALE REMINDER Green Lantern Wave 2, Catra™
Toy Fans,
Here’s your friendly sale reminder for our upcoming sale on Monday, May 16th. Be here at 9 a.m. PT and here’s what you’ll find:
I got a chance to swing by The Comic Bug in Manhattan Beach to see a preview of Mattel’s upcoming SDCC Exclusives. Mattel’s El Segundo Main Office is close by and apparently some Matty people come here for their comic fixes and were able to let them display this year’s Comic-Con exclusives for a couple of days (the display only lasts ’til today, Tuesday, May 10th). They were kind enough to let me take some pics!
Ok, we’re a few days behind for the latest Ask Matty Q&A, and these were from WonderCon. Thanks to the Mattel team for these answers.
1) Hurricane Hordak looks like a great quarterly bonus figure for Masters of the Universe Classics. Will his arm attachments be compatible with those from Roboto and Trap Jaw? What was the rationale behind including the dial on his back?
Yes, as announced at Wonder Con his attachments will indeed work like Trap Jaw or Roboto incase we ever want to do some re-decos down the road for a Weapon Pak.
Just like last year, Mattel revealed a few of their San Diego Comic-Con exclusives on Attack of the Show last night. Highlighted were:
Green Lantern Movie Kilowog – $30 – will be first available at SDCC
DC Universe Classics Swamp Thing featuring exoskeletal articulation (rubber skin over an articulated frame) – $30 – like Gleek and the Starro face-huggers, Swampy’s Un-Men will be exclusive to SDCC
Voltron 6-inch super-articulated – $30 – will come with both versions of his sword and packaging will feature a sound chip that plays the full Voltron opening theme
Ghostbusters Stay Puft Marshmallow Man with packaging diorama – $70 – this thing looks massive, maybe 18-inches tall
While they didn’t highlight any Masters of the Universe Classics items, keen-eyed observers may have spotted what looks like a space-suited Queen Marlena with interchangeable heads and dress, with a Cringer slug figure. Check that out at 37 seconds into the video.
I picked up the Toys R’ Us Exclusive DC Universe Classics vs. Masters Of The Universe Classics Hawkman and Stratos set a few days ago. Here’s some quick pics for y’all!
