Lots of Mattel news today, but don’t forget that June 15 is the MattyCollector.com sale date. And I’m guessing with She-Ra, Keldor, DC Universe Classics Wave 5, Peter Venkman, and Lobo on sale, it’ll be a bit rough.
Fans of Ashley Wood’s Popbot, a set of collector-oriented vinyl action figures are coming your way from threeA Toys in1/6 scale. These will go up for pre-order at bambalandstore.com on May 28 at 9AM Hong Kong time. For the time-zone challenged out there, that’s 9PM EST / 6PM PST tonight (May 27).
I’m trying to avoid adding another 1/6 scale line so I’m passing, despite how insanely cool these look, but you can check out our coverage of one of our favorite 1/12 lines, WWRp, also from threeA. I hope Popbot makes it into a “portable” 1/12 scale like World War Robot has.
I’ve been hunting for these figures since Ash Talon reviewed Iron Man 2 Comic Series wave 2. I was particularly impressed with the Hulkbuster Iron Man and Titanium Man. I haven’t yet seen them at retail, but today I checked HasbroToyShop.com and found them all available there.
It’s mostly statues and busts, but the discounts are great, and they cover all the big licenses, like Star Wars, Harry Potter, Hellboy, and Indiana Jones. Gentle Giant also has the figures from 30 Days of Night on sale for cheap. The sale goes through the end of June.

3A Toys has been shipping the retail versions of the Mk2 Berties from the World War Robot portable line to their retail partners (check out the Bambaland exclusive 7-pack and Dirty Deeds 12-pack). As a bonus to their retailers, they’re also shipping some retailer exclusives to selected partners.
