MattyCollector.com Sale Ending and December Preview

DC Universe Color of Fear 2 Karu-Sil and Romat-Ru (1200x800).jpgMattel had a couple of updates on its Facebook page yesterday.  First, a reminder that the sale on DC Universe items is ending on Monday (at 11:59PM ET, if you like to really to push the limits).  It’s based on the number of items purchased.

  • Buy any two or three DC Universe products and get 15% off
  • Buy any four or more and get 25% off

I’m surprised that not one of the products that are included in the sale have sold out yet, including the really fantastic DC Universe Classics Color of Fear 2-Pack.

Second, a preview of the items going on sale on December 15.  I knew I wasn’t crazy calling the DCUC Justice in the Jungle 2-pack “Animal Instincts!”

DC Universe Classics Justice in the Jungle Two-Pack – Critical Mess

Critical Mess has posted a review of the DC Universe Classics 2-Pack that goes on sale December 15.  Justice in the Jungle (I thought the name was still Animal Instincts, so I guess I didn’t get the memo) comes with two fan favorites – Animal Man and B’wana Beast.  I’ve got to agree with the review – the figures look great.  And Beast needs nipples.

Justice in the JungleJustice in the Jungle - Animal Man and B'wana Beast

First let me say that this is my favorite two-pack thus far. Not only does it contain two figures that I really want, but the figures are both done extremely well. These stand among the best figures that Mattel has done to date. I do have to admit that Animal Man is a little more impressive, if only because of the added complexity with his costume, but B’wana Beast is a solid figure with no obvious flaws. Come on cactus is our friend.

AFP Ask Matty Round-Up for 12/1/9

We missed a Q&A round but are back with more Matty Questions and Answers – well, at least the answers they were able to give.  A couple this round probed a little too deeply.

1. Nice pictures of Battle Armor He-Man – he was one of my faves as a kid. Will he be the first to have a personalized white mailer box? When will I get to see one of those mailer boxes with Jitsu printed on it? 😀

Yes, Battle Armor He-Man will be the first with his name on the white box. Jitsu will also have his name on the box, but we have yet to announce when he will be available. (nice try!)

DC Universe Classics Wave 12 Dr. Mid-Nite, Eclipso, and Iron on eBay

Early eBay auctions from the Far East can be an indicator of when items are a few weeks away from hitting the United States, and a couple of auctions have popped up for DC Universe Classics Wave 12, for Dr. Mid-Nite, Eclipso, and Iron.

I’m not sure what these ones mean for the timing of 12, because the auction titles list them as “pre-sale” though the auction description suggests that the seller has them in hand.  My guess is that we *won’t* see these in the US before year end, but I’ve been wrong before.

I’m not advocating buying these, because I’d bet they’ll be hitting retail in massive quantities inside of six weeks, but at this point, Eclipso and Iron have a starting price of $3.99 with $4.50 shipping to the US, and no bids.  Dr. Mid-Nite has a few bids – I think he’ll be one of the most popular figures in DC Universe Classics Wave 12.
