AFP Ask Matty Round-Up for 1/29/10

The guys are back with what might be the last Mattel Q&A before Toy Fair.  Thanks to Toy Guru and Manic Mike!

1. We’ve heard of a lot of collectors getting the DC Universe Classics wave 11 Deadman variant in their shipments from online retailers, including MattyCollector.com (who had said that was the only figure not included in their sets). Were the production ratios off?

This was an error in fans’ favor. Going forward the chase version in each wave will be only at retail and not in the MattyCollector.com sets.

Superman Batman Public Enemies Wave 2

Here are some pictures and quick thoughts from Fwoosher Studmuffin. We both live in the San Francisco Bay Area, but he manages to find everything and I just get to be jealous. 😀

The second assortment of the Public Enemies’ series came as a total surprise. The truth is, I wasn’t expecting much and really was only interested in finally being able to build the elusive Apokoliptian instrument of mass destruction, Brimstone.

Masters of the Universe Classics Battle Armor He-Man

Masters of the Universe Classics Battle Armor He-Man

I am hoping to have some pictures of the recent Masters of the Universe Classics figures from a very talented photographer whose MOTU collection is quite impressive, but in the meantime, I couldn’t resist snapping some pictures of my favorite hero from the line – Battle Armor He-Man.

The vintage figure was also one of my favorites when I was growing up.  I was enamored with the barrel mechanism in his chest that showed progressive damage when it was hit.  Between that and the spring-loaded waists on the figures, I had a lot of fun having fights between the Battle Armor versions of He-Man and Skeletor.

Mattel WWE Basic Series 2

Mattel WWE Basic Series 2 - Jack Swagger, Kane, Mark Henry, and Vladimir Kozlov

I think it has something to do with the tilt of Earth’s axis, but somehow Australian Fwoosher SWH has gotten hold of the Mattel WWE Basic Series 2 ahead of the rest of the world, just like he did with Basic Series 1 back at the end of November.  Here are his pics and quick thoughts on the series.
