Mattel has released a video of its packaging for the exclusive DC Universe Classics Wonder Twins set. Zan and Jayna will be available at San Diego Comic-Con, where you’ll be able to pick up a show exclusive Gleek, or later on Mattycollector.com, without Gleek. (Yes, I understand the dilemma.)
Video of DCUC Wonder Twins Packaging!
San Diego Comic-Con is just about here, and man, do I have an early show-stopper toy for you! You already know our DC Universe Classics Wonder Twins figure set includes Zan, Jayna, an eagle, and a water bucket with the face of Zan. Sweet, but that’s not what I’m talking about… it’s the AMAZING package that features lights and sounds you gotta see to believe!
Remember, the set that includes Gleek will only be available at SDCC while supplies last. If you don’t make it to SDCC, you can still get the Wonder Twins — but without Gleek — here at MattyCollector.com on Monday, August 3rd at 12:00 Noon!

I am a sucker for great packaging, but it isn’t the primary factor driving my purchasing decision. For example, I think Mattel’s DC Infinite Heroes packaging is the neatest thing since sliced bread, but I still haven’t picked any of them up at retail.
With the Wonder Twins, I’ve got mixed feelings. I think the packaging is well conceived and executed. Having the Twins be able to “activate” their powers via the fold out box is great. The trade-off for the lights and sounds, however, is added cost on top of an already pricey two-figure set.
