Green Lantern Hal Jordan and Sinestro 2-Pack Auction Pics?
AFI poster AbominableDesolation linked to these two pictures of Hal Jordan and Sinestro hosted at auction image hosting site Auctiva (Hal | Sinestro) – could they be production samples of the upcoming Green Lantern 2-pack? Hal features a metallic paint job on the classic costume and painted pupils. Sinestro is on a new base body and looks taller, and looks to reuse the head and lower arms of the original figure from DC Universe Classics wave 3.
I was not able to find auction listings for these guys, so I can’t confirm what these are. Anyone know?
Update: AbominableDesolation provided us with links to the auctions (Hal | Sinestro
) – thanks!
AFP Ask Matty Round-Up for 10/15/10
Hey Mattel fans – it’s time for the newest Q&A session of Ask Matty! Thanks to Toy Guru and the gang at Mattel, and happy Friday!
1) It seems like Warner Bros. Animation has settled into a pretty regular schedule of 3 animated features a year. Next year they’ve got All-Star Superman, Green Lantern: Emerald Knights, and Batman: Year One on the slate. These would seem like a great match for toys – marquis DC characters in great stories. What are Mattel’s plans for toys for these animated features, and how do you decide whether you want to jump on board or not?
Sorry, it is way too early for us to discuss that deep into 2011 at this time.
2) We’ve often talked about how one of the ways DC Universe Classics has been able to succeed is that you’ve been able to re-use basic tooling in creative ways to make a wide variety of characters. Does that mean that characters or items that would presumably require a lot of new tooling, like Granny Goodness, or a Mobius Chair for Metron, would have a pretty tough time making their way into upcoming line-ups? What would be the best way to get essential characters for completing themes into the line – box sets? Online exclusives? Con exclusives?
There are plenty of uniquely tool’d figures in the DCUC line. Demon and Ares come to mind. Shared tooling just means that not EVERY figure needs a 100% new tool, but it doesn’t mean some won’t need that!

Border Patrol: San Diego Comic-Con Exclusive 30-inch Anti Monitor
In AFP’s Border Patrol, we scour active eBay auctions for customized action figures that you won’t want to let slip by!
30 inch Anti-Monitor 2009 Mattel Convention exclusive!! – this isn’t technically a custom, as it was made by folks at Mattel, but since each (of only ten pieces worldwide) of these 30-inch Anti Monitors were fully hand-crafted, this could be the most rare non-customized custom that you’d ever have in your collection – ends Oct 18, 2010 19:02:23 PDT
If you’ve got the scratch – happy bidding!
