Toy Fair 2014: Masters of the Universe Classics Rio Blast, Club Etheria, and DC Super Powers Highlight Mattycollector Reveals

There’s no substitute for seeing the figures in person, but Mattel has been kind enough to share the big reveals from its Collector Event this afternoon via the Mattycollector site. In previous teases leading up to Toy Fair, Mattel promised a subscription in the likes of Club Filmation in 2013 and a send-off for DC Universe Classics – and they did exactly that. Club Etheria is a six figure sub that apparently will have some day of sales. The previously revealed Madam Razz and Broom land in this sub, which also features Double Mischief, Entrapta, and the club exclusive Light Hope. An additional accessory was shown for one of the unrevealed figures – if you didn’t guess it, Mattel provided a spoiler in the image file name.

As for the DC Universe Classics send-off, Mattycollector will offer 6 figures, 3 each in September and October – with an enticing Collect & Connect if you get all six. It’s a Super Powers send-off, featuring Batman, Superman (in 2 flavors, one of them in the fan-demanded light blue), Wonder Woman, Green Lantern as the Riddler, and Mr. Mxyzptlk. The C&C is Kalibak, in his Super Powers brown colors. It really is a fitting finale for the line, which Mattel and the Four Horsemen have said had its roots in the classic Super Powers line.

Finally, Rio Blast was revealed as the September figure for Club Eternia. For fans of the Spirit of Hordak chase figure, Mattel will repeat that in 2014, with a Kowl and Loo-Kee 2-pack. And in a licensing move that feels odd to action figure collectors, Mattel is making Hot Wheels from Marvel Comics. And there’s much more – read on for the press release and pics.

  1. Well, it’s nice that they found a place for Mxy, amongst the repaints. Otherwise, I don’t get the why they have to pull that Spirit Of Hordak thing with cartoon colored Kowl and Loo-Kee. Just sell them, like any other figure, and the people who want them will buy them. Heck, they would have been suitavble as the Club Etheria exclusive. Was Light Hope ever shown as a person, or just rainbow lights?

  2. A “fitting finale” for DCUC? No. It isn’t. Completing teams would be fitting. A Miss Martian would be fitting. An apology for double charging, digital river, bad paint and figures with two right thighs would be fitting. Scott finally admitting he hated DCUC and sleeps with a He-Man blowup doll would be fitting. This finale series is an insult.
