Mattel Reveals Club Black Freighter Watchmen Packaging and Masters of the Universe Classics Snake Face – Video

Rorschach from the DC Comics Watchmen is coming our way on MattyCollector’s January 15 sale as part of the Club Black Freighter subscription, and Toy Guru has just revealed the packaging for it. I think it looks pretty slick, with an outer slip cover and a book-style inner package that looks relatively more friendly for folks who like to play with their action figures and keep the packaging too.

TG also previewed the Masters of the Universe Classics Snake Face, the Snake Man who is scheduled to arrive in April this year. Check out the video for Rorschach and Snake Face, as well as pics of Rorschach and the additional card inserts from his upcoming sales page.

Border Patrol: Marvel Legends Deadpool, DC Universe Classics Nightwing, and Transformers Hercules

In AFP’s Border Patrol, we scour active eBay auctions for customized action figures that you won’t want to let slip by!

Marvel Legends Deadpool by Raybot – just like hockey teams alter their jerseys every season (at least, when they aren’t locked out), the comic companies love to change their characters’ costumes – when it results in a custom like Raybot’s Marvel Now Deadpool, I complain just a little bit less than usual – ends Jan 06, 2013 17:30:05 PST

DC Universe Classics and Young Justice Among 112 Action Figures in Year-End Sale at Entertainment Earth

The results are in – the Wall Street Journal says, “The annual holiday shop-a-thon drew to a muted close for many retailers, according to preliminary data, reflecting what some experts said was the slowest growth in spending since the 2008 recession.” While it’s not great news for the economy, it does mean that we should see continued sales to close out the year.

Case in point – Entertainment Earth is touting their Year-End Sale, with discounts up to 90%. I saw DC Universe Classics figures for just over $5 and Young Justice between $11 and $13. In total, they’ve got 112 action figures on sale, and a bunch of stuff in other categories too, for a total of 735 items being put on clearance.

Who is Your Best of 2012 Action Figure?

As we close in on the end of the year, I’ve been trying to figure who will make it to my short list of best action figures for 2012. I think I’ll have a tougher time this year than I had choosing my Best of 2011 figures, topped by the Marvel Universe Sentinel.

With one of my favorite lines, DC Universe Classics, scaling back, my collection became a little more varied this year. Masters of the Universe Classics remained a mainstay, but I also branched out into Square Enix’s Play Arts Kai lines, especially Street Fighter. And with more 3A Toys releases coming in the 1/12 scale, the Adventure Kartel Zombs became an expensive army building exercise. It also helped that this year saw the relaunch of Marvel Legends – oh how I’ve missed you, ML! There’s more – I had to pick up the fearsome foursome from the Nickelodeon Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles line from Playmates. And Diamond Select Toys’ Marvel Minimates continued to put out tiny offerings that were too cute to pass up.

I’m sure as I look through the stuff I’ve picked up throughout the year, I’ll find even more figures that could top the list. But if you’ve got some obvious winners that I’ve missed, be sure to let me know. I’ve got some Free Stuff that could head your way, as I make room for the New Year!
