Weekend Toy Run: Mattel Shop $20 or $50 Off Sale plus Free Shipping This Weekend Only

Sure, you have to spend $100 to get $20 off, or $200 to get $50 off, but Mattel Shop’s sale this weekend might not be that hard to get if you’re a fan of Mattel’s DC and WWE product lines. Here’s some ideas that will help get your there:

Added bonus – if you hit either threshold, you also qualify for free shipping, since that clicks in when you put $25 in your cart. And if you’re still having trouble getting there – there’s always Barbie or Monster High for those female collectors in your life. Ok, or for you too – I won’t tell!

NYCC 2013: Mattel DC Comics Multiverse – Batman and Superman Movies Wave

NYCC 2013 - Mattel DC Multiverse - Movie Wave (3 of 26)

For as long as there’s been Batman and Superman figures, collectors have been asking for figures from the classic Michael Keaton Batman and Christopher Reeve Superman films. After the Nolan-verse Batman and Man of Steel Movie Masters, I know collectors were hoping for the expansion of that line, and were further encouraged by the Batman 1966 Classic TV Series figures.

So you can imagine my surprise when Mattel decided to introduce from the Keaton and Reeve movies, but choose to do it in the DC Comics Multiverse 3.75-inch line. And while I think generally speaking, the figures look decent for ones in the small scale, I struggle to shake off the notion that this is not a friendly move towards collectors who supported the movie and TV figures in the existing 6-inch scale.

Supeman Man of Steel Movie Masters Variants in Stock at Amazon for $15.99

Superman Man of Steel Movie Masters Superman with Kryptonian Key Action Figure Superman Man of Steel Movie Masters General Zod with Battle Armor Action Figure Man of Steel Movie Masters Figure - Faora Superman Man of Steel Movie Masters Superman with Black Suit Action Figure

I think there must be some wisdom in Hasbro’s plan to realign the Marvel Legends brand with the various Marvel movies next year. Because while the Rocket Raccoon wave of Marvel Legends has only been available on Amazon through third party sellers (for inflated prices), lines like the Superman: Man of Steel Movie Masters keeps coming back into stock for regular prices, even some of the harder to find variants.

I still haven’t seen the Man of Steel movie yet, but somehow the news of Ben Affleck being cast as Batman (and the subsequent hilarious outrage) is making me want to see it less.
