Marvel Legends Ms. Marvel and Dark Avengers Ms. Marvel by Cal – I hope Hasbro gets around to both of these figures, as Carol Danvers and Karla Sofen as Ms. Marvel both are worthy of the new busty build – this begs the question, though: just how many Thunderbolts sets did Cal get? – ends Aug 14, 2013 19:00:26 PDT and Aug 14, 2013 19:15:06 PDT
In AFP’s Border Patrol, we scour active eBay auctions for customized action figures that you won’t want to let slip by!
It’s been a long time since our last Q&A with Matty, but we’ve decided to get back into it. Toy Guru provided some answers early, because he’s either going to be driving for every last subscription to Club Eternia and Club Infinite Earths, or he may just be out of the office for a few days.
1) A lot of people thought that the DC Unlimited and Batman Unlimited lines were doing well at retail. What were the reasons for canceling those lines?
We are always working with retailers to find the best way to bring DC figures to mass collectors and moms and kids. Right now the 6″ line will continue on Matty pending we get the min number of sub holders.

It’s time for Summer CustomCon again! CustomCon 35 is hosted by our good friend Joe Acevedo, and wraps up with Day Two.
CustomCon is a fictional toy show, showcasing the work of action figure customizers. You won’t find these toys in your local toy store – at least not right away. I’ve heard from several toy makers that they often get inspiration from customs. So you never know! (Check out previous CustomCons and see for yourself.)
Day 2 features four entries: Superman The Animated Series 2014, a set of 3 3/4-inch Gotham’s Most Wanted figures, busts showing The Evolution of Magneto and Mystique, and another group of Game of Thrones busts. Enjoy!
Just a reminder – if you did not attend SDCC 2013 but wanted to pick up Mattel’s exclusives for the show, you’ll have your chance after this weekend. Mattel is posting their exclusives for sale on Mattycollector.com on Monday at 9AM PST. Current subscribers, Early Access opens for you on Friday at 8AM PST. Up for grabs:
Be ready for time-outs and quick sell-outs on the more popular exclusives, though – I imagine some of these will sell out before Early Access is over.

If you’ve been waiting for Mattel’s Batman Classic TV Series line to become available, Amazon now has the Batman and Robin 2-pack in stock for $29.99. That’s a bit early, since they had been showing with an August 1 availability date during pre-orders.
Maybe it’s just semantics, because while the 2-pack shows in stock, the listing says it may take one or two days extra to process. As Robin would say, “Holy six of one, half dozen of the other, Batman!” You’re right. Robin would never say that.
