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!
Yes, I still have WonderCon pics to post – one day I’ll win the lottery and this can become my full-time gig. For now, please accept my apologies that these pics of Green Lantern action figures weren’t posted a week ago. With the movie opening just over 2 months from now, WonderCon was one of the last big pop culture events available to promote the movie and associated merchandise. And Green Lantern had a very strong presence, being featured prominently at both the DC and Mattel booths.
Battleground Teela will be available in June – even though she’s designated the quarterly A-list variant, I’m looking forward to her more than I do the Faceless One. Mattel took her bio in an unexpected direction – this is Teela after she’s learned she’s the Sorceress’s daughter (and by cloning, really?) and become the new guardian of Castle Grayskull. I always thought she’d make a better companion to Vikor, and will put her next to him in my Preternia display.

The continuing story of Teela unfolds….
We just got in a final packaged sample! Enjoy. Battleground Teela goes on sale June 15th (along with the monthly figure Faceless One!) only on Mattycollector.com. She is included in the 2011 Club Eternia subscription as the 2nd quarter A-List variant figure but will also be available to purchase for non subscribers.
Continuing our coverage of Mattel’s display at WonderCon, here’s a look at the line-up of Batman Legacy, due out this fall. Featuring a mix of repaints, kitbashes, some new tooling and some completely new figures, this looks to be a line extension that will transition into movie toys for The Dark Knight Rises next year. While there’s some figures here that I can’t wait to get, I hope that this will transition into something more like Green Lantern Classics at the start of 2012, with more new figures of Batman and especially his rogues gallery.
