Don’t Miss the Fwoosh DC Universe Classics March Madness Tourney Quarterfinals

The exits of Aquaman and Black Adam last round were a little surprising to me, and seeing the last of Hawkman in an extremely closs to the Joker might be the biggest moment of the tournament so far. Each of the matchups this round is going to be awesome, but I’m most interested in Batman vs. Blue Beetle – just because I know VeeBee wants Blue Beetle to win it all, and this may be the first chance to knock him out of the tournament!

Now we have come to it – we have the winners of each of our original regions and they are set to go off-planet it battle it out in the Tournament Quarterfinals! That’s right, Earth is just not big enough to house this tournament any longer so Thanagar, Qward, Rann and Korugar now play hosts to the final eight competitors. There were some close calls and some upsets in the regional finals! Let’s take a look at the results:

  • Green Arrow is now an official ghostbuster with a huge 67 to 33 win over Gentleman Ghost.
  • Darkseid pulled off a very surprising, not to mention close, 52 to 48 win over Aquaman.
  • Metamorpho just barely handled Black Adam with a 54 to 46 victory.
  • Deathstroke showed Wonder Woman who wears the pants with a huge 61 to 39 win.
  • Batman is still the boss, putting Robin in his place with a 66 to 34 victory.
  • Blue Beetle bested the Spectre with a too close for comfort win of 58 to 42.
  • The Joker just barely claims a victory over the mighty Hawkman with a score of 51 to 49. WOW!
  • Kilowog made a poozer out of Kalibak with a huge win of 75 to 25.

It is a veritable pantheon of DC Universe action figure powerhouses! But now it is time for you make your tough choices, cut the field in half and send those that are destined to advance off to Apokolips and New Genesis!

Voting for this bracket ends on April 2nd, so make your picks now!

AFP Ask Matty Round-Up for 4/1/10

Please find below the bi-monthly answers to your “Ask Mattel” questions.  Scott is currently out of the office but asked us to provide answers on his behalf.  We know he is the “Toy Guru” and an expert on all things Matty Collector so to keep the same quality of answers you’re readers are used to, we consulted with an answer expert – please go ahead and post these as the official Mattel answers.  You can go ahead and forward your April 15th questions to Scott directly.

Sometimes, I don’t know why we bother with these Q&A sessions. All we ever get are these non-answers, session after session after session. And even though we are getting our answers from someone else this go around, it’s just more of the same.

1. This may be a little early, but Raven is on my mind with Collect & Connect Trigon coming soon. Is Mattel planning to do another Fan’s Choice for DC Universe Classics in conjunction with Toyfare this year? And with respect to runner-ups from the prior votes, are any of those characters on the table for the upcoming year?
