Get Warmed Up for San Diego Comic-Con Exclusives with Entertainment Earth’s Buy One Get One Half Off Sale

Entertainment Earth is hosting a great opening act for the big show – they’ve got a Buy One Get One Half Off sale on San Diego Comic-Con exclusives. The catch? It’s for the exclusives from past years. What, you didn’t expect them to put this year’s exclusives on sale before the show, did you?

There’s nearly 60 items on sale, from toy makers like Funko, Diamond Select Toys, Bif Bang Pow!, Underground Toys, Diamond Select Toys, and even Mattel (who hasn’t sold exclusives through Entertainment Earth, as far as I can recall.)

I Am Your Fodder: DC Universe Classics 2-Packs Are Like Getting Two For One

DC Universe Classics Abin Sur Green Lantern Figures 2-Pack DC Universe Collector Classics Exclusive War of the Green Lanterns - Yellow Lantern Hal Jordan & Blue Lantern Kyle Rayner 2 Pack DC Universe Collector Classics Exclusive Knightfall - Azrael Batman & Batman 2 Pack

These DC Universe Classics 2-Packs were originally retailer exclusives, but priced like this are like getting two figures for the price of one. Great fodder to build out your Green Lantern / Rainbow Lantern Corps or just for blank base bodies. And while Batman and Azrael might be a bit more specific, at the price, you might want to get the two-pack just for the redeco of Azrael. All these are Amazon Prime eligible.

I Am Your Fodder highlights action figures that are cheap and would make interesting customizing fodder.

What Do You Think About Mattel’s New Flight Stands?

Y4330_001a_600x600 Y4330_002_600x600 Y4330_003_600x600

Mattel has posted some more details about their upcoming Flying Stands 2.0, which will be available during MattyCollector’s June sale. Like their original flight stands, they’ll come with 3 different sizes of clips, to accommodate Masters of the Universe Classics, DC Universe Classics, Ghostbusters, and more.

The new flight stands have a couple of upgrades – in addition to a hinge in the arm (akin to what was there in the first version), the clip itself will swivel, and the arm can be telescoped to allow for different heights. There will also be peg holes where you can attach the clips that aren’t in use. While it may seem ungainly, I know with the original flight stands, the extra clips are in some drawer somewhere and will probably never resurface.

One other difference – the new price is $15, compared to $12 for the old ones. Not clear at this point is how many stands will come with a single order. It used to be three. That will make a big difference with the value of the new stands. What are your thoughts?

Mattel to Open 2014 Subscriptions for Club Eternia and Club Infinite Earths Early – 6/17 to 8/19

The second Mattel item is a bit of a head scratcher. People have been asking for the subscription window for the Matty subs to be open longer – presumably, it’s tough to commit to a year’s worth of figures only knowing a quarter’s worth of them. In response, Mattel has extended the window – but on the front end, before any information at all on the figures will be known. Thanks for that! 🙂

In addition, at this point there’s only two subs on the table – Club Eternia for Masters of the Universe Classics, and Club Infinite Earths for DC Universe Classics. There’s no extension to Club Black Freighter for Watchmen or Club Filmation, both of which went live this year without any thermometer drama. But I don’t think we should take this as final on what will be available – who knows what surprises Mattel has up their sleeves for San Diego Comic-Con?

Toy Fans,

As you probably know, we usually open subscriptions right after our Mattypalooza fan panel at San Diego Comic-Con and they stay open for about a month. Over the years, many of you have asked us to run the subscriptions longer so for 2014, we’re starting the sale early so everyone has a chance to get theirs when it’s convenient for them!

Subscriptions will be available for Masters of the Universe® Classics Club Eternia® and DC Universe Club Infinite Earths. When you sign up on 6/17, you’ll get all the subscription details except the names of the club-exclusive figure and first-quarter figures for each club. As always, those will be revealed at Mattypalooza Fan Panel at SDCC. (If you’re wondering why we don’t wait to open the subs until after the fan panel and leave the subscriptions open past August, it’s because we need final numbers by 8/19 to set production quotas and hit a January 2014 release date.)

Here are the dates you need to know:

2014 Subscriptions – Club Eternia® & Club Infinite Earths

Availability Opens: Monday 6/17 9am PT
Club-Exclusive Figures Announced: Mattypalooza Fan Panel at SDCC
Availability Closes: Monday 8/19 11:59pm PT
