Some of you remember that the DC Universe Classics Legion of Super-Heroes reveal was announced way back in May when Previews provided the solicitation for this issue of ToyFare.
The five LoSH figures gracing the awesome cover were on display at San Diego Comic-Con, but I’m still looking forward to hearing more from Toy Guru and Bill Benecke.

VeeBee is a huge Ghostbusters fan, and in our interviews with Mattel at San Diego Comic-Con (which VeeBee is busy transcribing) we talked a little about the 12-inch Ghostbusters figures and how cool the packaging is.
Of course, I couldn’t justify adding another 12-inch line to my already-busting-at-the-seams collection, so I had to take their word for it. But this video preview of the upcoming Winston figure showed me what I’ve been missing. Pretty cool stuff!
New Video of Ghostbusters™ Packaging Mural
Ghostbusters™ Fans,
So you know we’ve got Winston Zeddemore™ on sale on Monday, August 16th, right? What you may not know is that when you put his package side-by-side with the rest of the team’s packaging, it creates a sweet mini-mural featuring the rooftop scene from the first film! Check out this video that gives a full demo of Winston and his accessories, and get your first official look at the mural.
You’ll need all four 12” figures to make the mural. You can get Winston Zeddemore™ on August 16th here on MattyCollector.com, and keep your eye on this spot for info about possible re-releases!
The DC Universe Classics Giants of Doom entry in CustomCon 26 started with my desire for a more scale-accurate Sinestro. As that custom came together, I started feeling the pangs of nostalgia-fueled desire for a complete Legion of Doom. Thoughts for how to improve current figures (Sinestro and Captain Cold) and how to add the missing ones (Toyman, Riddler in spandex, and Bizarro in a classic style) kept forming, but I knew I would never get around to making it happen. So I did what I will probably do from now on – I recruited a dream team of customizers from AFP and the Fwoosh – Buzzy Fret, Ibentmyman-thing, and Robokillah.
Here’s my top three “Best in Show” at SDCC this year!
3) Green Lantern Classics
I had not bought monthly comic books in a long time, but the Blackest Night storyline got me coming back every month when the series was still going on. Green Lantern has been on a roll lately, and with the movie coming out next year, it’s high time that Mattel finally gives this corner of the DC Universe it’s due. Seriously, the Green Lantern Corps alone could fill up a couple of waves, now that we have a rainbow spectrum of corps, there are lots more characters to choose from!
We got to see a double knee-jointed Kyle Rayner, Arkillo, Low(one of my favorite sculpts!), Maash, and Manhunters at the Con and boy do they look great. I can’t wait until they get to Atrocitus, Saint Walker and Arisia! Also this line is just full of potential army builders. You can expect collectors to pick up multiple Manhunters, and customizers to pick up multiple base bodies to create their own corps members. It’ll be an exciting time for Green Lantern toy fans next year! And woohoo for that preview Ch’p pic!
