San Diego Comic-Con 2010 – Mattel Mattypalooza Panel

Mattel held its Mattypalooza panel on Friday at San Diego Comic-Con. In it, they covered the MattyCollector.com exclusives:

  • DC Universe – Green Lantern Retro-Action DC Super Heroes, JLU New Gods 2-packs, and the DC Universe Classics Legion of Super Heroes 12-pack (these were also covered in the Mattel DC Universe panel that included the retail-based products)
  • Ghostbusters – Retro-Action, 6-inch, 12 inch figures, and the PKE meter prop replica
  • Masters of the Universe Classics

You can see pictures of the new Masters reveals in the San Diego Comic-Con 2010 – Mattel Masters of the Universe Classics – Updates article. Pics of the Ghostbusters coming soon.

San Diego Comic-Con 2010 – Mattel DC Universe Panel

Mattel held its DC Universe panel at San Diego Comic-Con on Friday. We caught the presentation in its entirety.

Some highlights for me:

  • Jonah Hex in DC Universe Classics wave 16! That’s the top of my list for DC, and I’m replacing Hex with Sgt. Rock for my most wanted list.
  • Corrected Sinestro in his classic blue costume – the 5-pack Sinestro head on Hal Jordan body isn’t doing it for me, so I’ll be psyched if they fix this by putting Sinestro on a more suitable body.
  • Ch’p (or is it the other little furry Lantern?) – hey, could this pave the way for a Dex-Starr, the Rage Kitty?

San Diego Comic-Con 2010 – Mattel DC and Mattypalooza Panels – Ch’p and Weapons Rack Teasers

I had hoped to have video of Mattel’s DC Universe and Mattypalooza panels yesterday, but between my slow laptop and the even slower hotel network, they weren’t done uploading by this morning. In the meantime, here’s the teaser images of the Green Lantern Classics Ch’p and the Masters of the Universe Classics Weapons Rack from the end of each panel presentation.

We’re slowly uploading our video from the Mattel DC Universe panel from earlier today – the hotel wireless network is “the little engine that can’t” right now. While you’re waiting on that, here’s pictures from the new DC figures put out today – we have DC Universe Classics wave 16, Green Lantern Classics, the Legion of Super Heroes (at least what has been sculpted thus far), and a new figure in the All-Star repaint category for Toys R Us.

San Diego Comic-Con 2010 – Mezco DC Universe Mez-Itz

Mezco was one of my most anticipated stops I had to make on Preview Night at San Diego Comic-Con, primarily for their new line-up of DC Universe Mez-Itz. I’m guessing that a lot of AFP readers aren’t into urban vinyl figures, but I challenge you to look upon these works and rejoice!

While these will see broad release through Diamond and specialty stores, they’ll likely not hit mass market retailers like Toys R Us – because Mattel has such a lock on DC as the master license holder, Mezco had to carve out a very specific niche to be able to produce these.

I’m glad they did. As I’ve said many times, these are compatible with Hasbro’s Mighty Muggs, but the ball-jointed head takes them a step further in the poses and resulting character these emanate. And the designs are a home run – I must have that Sinestro, now!
