Last Toys R Us Free Shipping Promotion of the Year – 12/17 Only

Just got an email – Toys R Us is having their last free shipping promotion of the year, today, 12/17 only.

Toys R Us

I took a quick look, and there’s a big mix of stuff that you might want to pick up if you skipped it earlier. For example, they have the Sue and Johnny Storm Marvel Legends 2-pack, the Giants of Justice Flash (also on sale), and a bunch of Joes and Marvel Universe figures in the action figure section their free shipping store. Some of the stuff is already out of stock, like the UFC figures, so you might want to check this out early.

The free shipping store goes away at the end of today. Happy Shopping!

Some of Mattel’s collector lines were featured on Attack of the Show earlier tonight in a “Gifts for Geeks” segment.

Featured were:

All this goodness was matched up with Lamp in a Box, making for some odd segues.

Fun stuff!

Holiday Geek Gift Ideas

We’ve got 2 weeks left until Christmas, which means it’s time for Alison Haislip to show us the perfect gadgetry for the holiday geek, like a Lamp in a Box, WWE action figures, the Avatar Interactive Battle Pack and more. Forget everyone else, we might pick up some of this cool stuff for ourselves.

Line up includes: Triple H, Batista, R-Truth, Ted DiBiase, Randy Orton, and Matt Hardy.

Look for these on-shelf February 2010!

RingsideFest 2009 Mattel WWE Pics – Figures and More

There are a bunch of really great Mattel WWE pics at Figures and More, who went to Ringside Collectible’s RingsideFest in NYC a couple of weeks ago.  I’m pretty psyched about Real Scale, which manages to stay as compatible with the JAKKS WWE scale as it can, while introducing relative heights for the wrestlers.

Mattel is bound and determines to hit the ground running when their WWE line kicks off on January 1, 2010. Mattel has a ton of product planned for launch and they have concrete plans for the months to follow. At RingsideFest, I met the majority of Mattel’s WWE team, including their PR. Representative, Rob Novickas, and Marketing Manager for the WWE line, PJ Lewis. I also met Derek, Alex, and two men named Bill from the Design team. I apologize to them for not printing their last names, they never used them over the course of the day, and if they did, I did not hear them. These talented people have all come together to create one of the best action figure lines and DEFINITELY the best wrestling figure line I have ever seen. The figures are all one size and scale across the entire line, which means they all live in the same universe.

Huge Mattel WWE Update: Series 1 Press Pics and Series 2 Sneak Peek

It’s been a long dry spell since Mattel surprised the wrestling collecting community in February, when it announced it would be taking over the WWE license from long-time holder JAKKS Pacific.  There was hardly a trickle of news until they teased us last month with a press release and a couple of pictures.

Now, with January 1 right around the corner, Mattel has opened the floodgates.  These pics were released through their new Facebook page for Mattel / WWE.  Didn’t know they had a Facebook page?  It was news to me too.
