Tri-Klops may be the big item for me, but there’s a whole mess of stuff going up tomorrow, so be ready for some red screens of death.
Tri-Klops® Action Figure
Infinite Heroes Crisis 4-Pack
JLU Shazam! Family 4-Pack
Batman vs. Gorilla Grodd
Transforming Batmobile
Batman New Batsuit Figure
Batman The Joker Figure
Stealth Signal Batman Figure
Die-Cast Lightning McQueen
Big sale on Monday! MOTUC Tri-Klops, Infinite Heroes Crisis 4 pack, JLU Shazam pack, plus a few retail Batman Brave and the Bold and Dark Knight items! Check out MattyCollector.com at 12 noon eastern Aug 17th!
I’m not exactly sure which Brave and the Bold and Dark Knight products are going up tomorrow, but posted pics of all that’s currently up there. Matty will also have a 1:24 die cast Lightning McQueen, so it could get a little crazy, with both action figure and Hot Wheels collectors converging on the site.
Mattel also posted a round-up of sorts of the latest Ask Matty sessions (AFP’s latest Ask Matty Round-Up was posted yesterday). They touch on a lot of sore spots, for example, $20 Dark Knight Movie Masters, bonus figures not in Club Eternia, and Gleek. Not sure if the explanations will soothe the folks who are raging over them, but at least Mattel understands that some people are upset. And a new hurt for folks on the east coast – Mattel won’t be at New York Comic-Con next year. That’s not surprising, since it’s in October, during the prime selling season for big box retailers.
Now that the whirlwind of San Diego Comic-Con is behind us, Mattel is back at the never-ending task of answering our fan questions. If you’ve got something you’d like to ask Matty in a future installment, leave us a comment and we’ll try to incorporate it an upcoming batch.
Here’s the latest set of Q&A. Thanks to Mattel and Toy Guru!
1. Great showing at SDCC! Of the various new announcements that Mattel made at SDCC (or shortly thereafter), which one are you most excited about and why?
World’s Greatest Super Heroes overview
WGSH Green Arrow
WGSH Wave 1 – Superman, Lex Luthor, Green Lantern, and Sinestro
12-inch Movie Masters overview
Movie Masters General Zod
Movie Masters Superman
The World’s Greatest Superheroes and 12” Movie Masters of Superman and Zod are personal favorites. The first World’s Greatest figure, Green Arrow, will be on MattyCollector on 12/15/09 followed by a retail wave in late Spring 2010. These will be incredible!
It’s that time of year again! Entertainment Earth is holding one of it’s big inventory clearance sales, and that includes action figures.
They’re saying it’s up to 80% off – most of the things I am interested are between 30 – 50% off. That includes DC Universe Classics, Halo, and GI Joes.
For example, at the Mattel DC Panel at San Diego Comic-Con, a very upset fan was lamenting the lack of availability of Killer Moth. Well, upset fan, Killer Moth is on sale right now for $8.80! Buy him now! No more tears!
With sales like these, things sell out quickly, so don’t procrastinate!
Summer Blowout Sale!
Thank you for your business! To show our appreciation, we’re marking down items up to 80% off! Buy action figures, games, and collectible statues and busts at our lowest prices ever! Star Wars, Star Trek, Spider-Man, and more are on sale. But hurry… our limited stock won’t last long at these prices!
Mattel has updated its Facebook page with its San Diego Comic-Con presentations – DC Power Partnership Panel – SDCC 09 and Mattypalooza Fan Panel – SDCC 2009. I’ve included some excerpts for DC Universe Classics, Masters of the Universe Classics, and Ghostbusters. The panels were great – folks were pretty excited about all the reveals.
I have been doing a little traveling, so I’ve bundled up the last three updates from Mattel’s Facebook page.
Ghostbusters Egon Spengler – carded
Ghostbusters Egon Spengler – card back
Anti-Monitor 30-inch Giveaway
MOTU Classics He-Man
In regards to Mattel’s update on Masters of the Universe Classics (the third note attached), I’m hoping that Mattel and the Four Horsemen will be able to incorporate some of the design updates that we saw in the 200x line, even if the angular styling of that line will be left out.
In particular, I thought the non-humans were particularly good. For example, check out the 200x Whiplash compared to his vintage counterpart. Which look would you prefer to see in Classics styling?
