Mattel Green Lantern Classics Pre-Orders

Those rascals at the Fwoosh have discovered pre-order pages for a new Green Lantern Classics line from Mattel, due out in the fall of this year. Some early words from online retailers:

  • an assortment of 8 figures
  • comics-based, not movie-based
  • compatible with DC Universe Classics
  • and include the Collect and Connect concept

Please note that this is early going, and is all subject to change. Still, damn, I’m excited!

You can find pre-order listings at these AFP sponsors:

I was so excited about the first DC Universe Classics figure that has double-jointed elbows and knees, that as soon as I got him I whipped out my camera to take action pics of him! Buzzy has done a full review of Wave 13 here: DC Universe Classics Wave 13 Review. So, in addition to that review, here are some action pics of Blue Beetle III. Let’s see what he can do!

Win a Justice League Unlimited Lobo! – Last Day to Enter on TheFwoosh.com

You’ve got until Midnight Central Standard Time tonight to enter for a chance to win a Justice League Unlimited Lobo from the Fwoosh. And it couldn’t be easier to enter. Don’t miss out!

We know you have been waiting a long time for this. Finally, the “Main Man” is coming to your JLU shelf by way of Matty Collector this June. I am pretty sure that, next to the Green Lantern that will not be mentioned, Lobo is the most fan requested figure out there. Mattel and DC found a way to get him to the fans (since he is a little bit on the violent side for the youngsters) and he will be a gauge to test if more figures like him will be possible for a similar release down the road – Kalibak, perhaps?

Well, now one lucky fan is going to get a chance to win this figure FOR FREE before anyone else! How do you ask? Well, it is simple – all you really have to do is respond to this with your personal feelings/story/reason why it is great to finally have Lobo in your JLU collection.

First Look – Masters of the Universe Classics Tytus – TheFwoosh.com

VeeBee at the Fwoosh has a nice first look at the second over-sized figure in the Masters of the Universe Classics line (Battle Cat was the first). Tytus goes on sale in two weeks, on May 17.

One of the great things about the MOTUC line at this point is that is has been successful enough that the collection is expanding in all sorts of ways. We are seeing MOTU, PoP and NA figures, beasts, and now giants and by this time next year, your MOTUC shelves are going to look very cool and extremely diverse. Tytus is also the first rotocast figure in the line so there are certainly some differences from the standard figures to the big guy.
