Howdy from the Buzzy Cave! Coming at y’all today with this custom I just finished up of Green Lantern Hal Jordan in his modern look. If you saw it, there was a very early sneak peek of this in my article about eliminating paint rub I did a little while back.

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!

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.
7/15 SALE REMINDER: Count Marzo™ and DCUC Wave 13

Today we’re doing a very late pic review of the Masters of the Universe Classics Keldor. Yes, it took me a while to get to him, and everyone else has already posted their Keldor reviews, but no matter. Here we go!
I wasn’t going to buy this set but I stopped in the only DC Universe Classics stocking Wal-Mart a couple days ago and discovered that, due a reset of the Toy Department, all of the DCUC stock had been moved to a clearance aisle and for $15, I couldn’t pass it up. Overall the quality of the set is very good. Manta’s gun was slightly bent up and Aquaman’s right leg was a little warped at the knee joint (easily fixed with a session under the hair dryer and cold water tap) but otherwise they are well made with no problems or defects.
