As part of its Collectors Appreciation Tour, Mattel was on site at WonderCon this weekend, in a relatively jam-packed booth, considering how much was on display. There was a lot of traffic to see the new reveals for Masters of the Universe Classics – in September, the Evil Horde gets some new blood with Leech and Hurricane Hordak.

Matty assures us that despite today being April Fool’s Day, these answers are completely legit! Thanks to the Mattel team for this round of Ask Matty.
1) We’re excited for MattyCollector.com’s Collector Appreciation Tour this year – it’ll be great to give folks who may not be able to make it to San Diego Comic-Con a chance to see the upcoming collectibles in person at C2E2, WonderCon, DragonCon, and New York Comic Con. Are you planning to have new reveals at each of these shows? We’ve gotten a close look at what you had on display at C2E2 – any surprises in store for WonderCon?
We will have some reveals at each show but it won’t be as much as we have at NYTF or SDCC and there won’t be reveals for every line. More like one or two figs for one or two lines per show.
For the first time, Mattel is hosting a swap meet for DC Universe Classics Collect & Connect pieces at WonderCon this weekend. From the MattyCollector.com Facebook page:
At WonderCon we will be premiering the 1st ever Collect-and-Connect Swap! If you are seeking a CNC piece, you can look through the bucket of CNC pieces to find your treasure. The rule is one in, one out, so bring CNC pieces you want to trade! See you, and your CNC pieces, at WonderCon!
I’ve got to wonder (no pun intended) if all those Gentleman Ghost hoarders will be dumping their Giganta heads and lower torsos. 🙂
>> Some Giganta reviews, for those of you who never completed her: AFP, Articulated Discussion, and Poe Ghostal (credit to these fine sites for the pics above)
Will you be at WonderCon with your spare C&C pieces? If so, the Four Horsemen’s Jim Preziosi will also be participating in Mattel’s “Methods & Materials: Sculpting with Mattel & the Four Horsemen” panel on Saturday from 3 – 4pm in room #104.
Hope to see you there!
These have been out for a little while now, but I wanted to give my thoughts on the line anyway, as it has not gotten much attention. This is my first MEGO style action figure ever, so how did I like it? Does it stack up to the Mattel Ghostbusters Classics line? Find out after the jump!
Back to back to back Masters of the Universe Classics Pic Reviews! Awesome! This time we get a look at Mattycollector’s March Quarterly Figure: Battle Armor Skeletor!
So what if we’ve got about three versions of Skelly by now (counting Keldor) – having the fourth be his “Battle Armor” outfit is still a welcome addition in my book! Get ready for lots of pics – I kinda went a little crazy with them. On to the review!
