Reminder – Masters of the Universe Classics Optikk, Tytus, Mer-Man and More On Sale May 17

This Monday may be another fun day at MattyCollector.com. Six separate figures (which can be purchased on the bundle page for the month) will be on sale:

  • Masters of the Universe Classics Optikk – the first character from the New Adventures of He-Man is the Club Eternia figure for the month
  • Masters of the Universe Classics Tytus – the fighting giant is the over-sized bonus figure
  • Masters of the Universe Classics Mer-Man – this will be his first re-issue
  • The Dark Knight Two Face – at long last, if you’re looking to complete your collection of Dark Knight Movie Masters, Two-Face is the last lead character to get a figure – you don’t count Rachel Dawes, do you?
  • Retro-Action DC Super-Heroes Green Lantern
  • Ghostbusters Walter Peck

I’m wondering how Tytus will do – while he looks great, I think a lot of people expected more articulation for a $40 figure. But who am I kidding? He’ll still sell out. Good luck on Monday!

Win a Justice League Unlimited Lobo! – Last Day to Enter on TheFwoosh.com

You’ve got until Midnight Central Standard Time tonight to enter for a chance to win a Justice League Unlimited Lobo from the Fwoosh. And it couldn’t be easier to enter. Don’t miss out!

We know you have been waiting a long time for this. Finally, the “Main Man” is coming to your JLU shelf by way of Matty Collector this June. I am pretty sure that, next to the Green Lantern that will not be mentioned, Lobo is the most fan requested figure out there. Mattel and DC found a way to get him to the fans (since he is a little bit on the violent side for the youngsters) and he will be a gauge to test if more figures like him will be possible for a similar release down the road – Kalibak, perhaps?

Well, now one lucky fan is going to get a chance to win this figure FOR FREE before anyone else! How do you ask? Well, it is simple – all you really have to do is respond to this with your personal feelings/story/reason why it is great to finally have Lobo in your JLU collection.

Easy, right? Good luck!

Announcing the AFP Iron Mania Week (and Giveaway!)

Iron Man 2 - Iron Monger and Crimson Dynamo.jpg

Chances are, if you’re a fan of AFP, then you’ve seen the Iron Man movie, starring Robert Downey Jr. as the title character. And you probably know that the sequel, Iron Man 2, Metallic Boogaloo (I made that up) is opening this upcoming Friday, May 7.

Because we’re such big fans of Iron Man, this week we’re celebrating Iron Mania – each day (we hope) we will have Iron Man toy-related content, all leading up to the premiere of Iron Man 2. Then, on premiered day, we’ll hold a Free Stuff drawing and give away this prize pack consisting of two Iron Man baddies, Iron Monger and Crimson Dynamo. Iron Monger is from the Movie Series and was the villain from the first movie. Crimson Dynamo is from the Comic Series and is a classic Iron Man villain.

To find out how to qualify to win the Iron Mania prize pack, check out our Free Stuff page. Good luck and enjoy AFP’s Iron Mania!

DC Universe Classics Wave 11 In Stock at Toys R Us

AFP reader Paul emailed yesterday (thanks!) to tell us that he’s seeing DC Universe Classics Wave 11 both at their bricks and mortar locations and online. I haven’t yet seen the Kilowog series at stores, and I think there’s still pretty heavy demand, as  TRU is down to three figures remaining in stock online:

Happy hunting!
