Toy Fair 2011 – Four Horsemen’s Toypocalypse

What an awesome way to start off Toy Fair – with Toypocalypse, an art show held at Toy Tokyo, featuring 10 years of action figure goodness from the Four Horsemen. The show opened tonight and will run through next Thursday, but I felt compelled to go tonight, before the craziness of Toy Fair began.

The show space was packed full of 4H fans – but the really overwhelming part was just seeing all the toys that the 4H have had a big hand in getting to our shelves. One section of the show space was dedicated to a “making of” section for the next figure that will be gracing our shelves – the Fantastic Exclusive Gothitropolis Scarabus.

DC Universe Classics Wave 16 Found At Target Today

Hey all you DCUC Fans!

I saw a couple reports on the Fwoosh DC Universe Classics Wave 16 Discussion Thread that collectors in the southeast were finding DCUC 16 at Targets today, so I saddled up, trucked on over to the local Target and, POW, there they were! I picked up the 3 you see in the hastily snapped pic and left Creeper, GA Head Robin and All Star Wave 10 Batman on the shelf. Mercury and Az-Bats were MIA.

I hope this means that Target has blown out all their old DCUC stock and are going to come back strong with the new Waves because the 3 Wal-Marts here have removed DCUC from their Toy Departments.

I’ll have some more DCUC 16 pics up soon!

AFP Ask Matty Round-Up for 2/1/11

Here’s the story – our questions for December 15 missed the deadline, and then I misplaced them when we got the answers back for January 15. But we’ll be back on the Ask Matty circuit when it starts up again after Toy Fair – and I’m sure we’ll have lots of questions following their Toy Fair presentation on February 13.

In any case, thanks to the Mattel team, and forgive us for the holiday and end-of-year-oriented questions, plus being a day late on top of that!

1) The holidays are right around the corner. What Mattel collector items might last minute shoppers find on the shelf, and what are your recommendations for best gifts this season?

The GL five-pack at Wal-Mart and DCUC Wave 15 and 16 are great buys at retail!

Note: You can see AFP reviews for these items here:

DC Universe Classics Wave 16 Articulation Review

DC Universe Classics Wave 16 is starting to find its way into the hands of collectors, so it’s time to take a look at how the updated articulation is working. We had gotten a preview with the Jaime Reyes Blue Beetle from the Trigon wave, but with wave 16, we’re seeing the new articulation schemes with basic human forms.

We’ll start with Robin, as he’s the best in the bunch. He’s got an impressive amount of new articulation, allowing a lot more dynamic poses.
