DesignerCon 2013 Weekend Alert

DCon-2013 FULLERDESIGNS-DCON_original FULLERDESIGNSv1_original

DesignerCon is being held this weekend in Pasadena, CA, at the Pasadena Convention Center. DCon is an annual art and design convention that is basically a mash up of collectible toys and designer apparel, along with with urban, underground and pop art… including skate decks, original art and custom toys.

Example of cool collectible?

Fuller Designs – see his Spider-Man Minicel, Mysterio Minicel, and Ghost Rider Minicel – each OOAK and available for $125. That said, you might have wished to get Fuller Designs’ OTHER collectible – his Trick R Treat villains – Joker, Red Skull, Dr Doom and Loki. These were super cool bad guys hand-made resin pieces, using Fuller Designs’ own Lil’ Jammie design, hand-painted with acrylic and airbrush paints, and came with their own little pumpkin full of goodies… I said “came” cuz they’re all SOLD OUT, but are really worth a look.

DC Collectibles Shows Off the New 52 Lex Luthor in Video Preview

DC Collectibles New 52 Lex Luthor preview

DC Collectibles featured this deluxe Lex Luthor previously, in a video blog about digital sculpting the New 52 Lex. It’s nice to see the finished sculpt – it’s got a removable helmet and 20+ points of articulation.

Still, there’s a long way to go, as Lex isn’t due to hit shelves until May next year. By then he’ll surely have a new costume (if he doesn’t already…)

Weekend Toy Run: The Walking Dead TV Series Four and More 20% Off at ToysRUs.com

Toys R Us can make it tough to shop at their online store. A lot of times they’ll show coupons online, but they’re only good in the bricks and mortar stores. This weekend, they’ve kindly made their 20% off sale good online too (with code SAVE20), but it’s only good on full-priced items. Luckily, the Walking Dead TV series 4 from McFarlane just arrived in stock, so it’s full price. At TRU prices, it’s a buck more than you can find it at some other retailers, but with the 20% off you can get each for $12 and change. Best of all, you can combine this with the free shipping for orders over $49.99.

If the Walking Dead isn’t your thing, you could also save on the Batman Classic TV Series action figures from Mattel. With the SAVE20 code, the figures are $15.99, the same price you can get them in other online stores – but TRU still has the Riddler in stock at the normal price, whereas other places like Amazon are sold out and only selling the Riddler through third party sellers for more.

The SAVE20 code expires today. Happy shopping!

Ask Matty Q&A for 11/1

Hope you had a good Halloween! Here’s some treats from the gang at Mattel.

1) With regards to 2014 / 2015, you’ve said that since there are two Snake Men left it’s likely to see them split across the two years. Does the same kind of rationale apply to Stridor and Night Stalker? Or is there too much tooling to consider them in the “big hitters” category that qualify for the next two years?

Our goal for 2014-2015 is to release all of the basic figures. How many beast or vehicles released has yet to be announced. We can tell you the more tooling a beast or vehicle has the less likely it will be released ?(unless a basic vintage figure like “Gwildor” etc.. which we will prioritize).
