DC Universe Classics Paint Masters up for Charity Auction

Before we get all caught up in Comic-Con madness, here’s an opportunity to land some one-of-a-kind collectibles from the Four Horsemen and Mattel. Six paint masters from the line are up for grabs in a set of auctions to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

The auctions kick off tomorrow evening, right smack in the middle of Preview Night. It’s your chance to have your collection hobby do some good for others. Bid them up!

DCUC Paint Masters up for Auction!

Mattel and Warner Bros. have teamed up with the Make-A-Wish foundation to offer a selection of DC Universe Classics paint master prototypes to the public. These prototypes will be up for auction from Wednesday, July 17th at 6pm PST until Saturday, July 27th at 5:59pm PST. The money earned from these auctions will go to Make-A-Wish, which grants wishes to children diagnosed with live-threatening medical conditions. This is a great opportunity to support a worthy cause, and also to own a unique collector’s item that has never been offered for sale to the general public.

The prototypes for sale include: Azrael Batman, Batman, Hawkman, Kilowog, Steel and Clone Superboy. Follow the link below to visit the auctions and make a difference in the life of a child with a severe illness.

Hot Toys Has Four More Reasons to Visit Sideshow at SDCC

I already love spending time at the Sideshow Collectibles booth at San Diego Comic-Con – it’s massive and chock full of 1/6 scale goodness. And even though it’s just a couple days away, Hot Toys is still driving up the pre-show hype with previews of some figures that will debut at the big show at Sideshow. We saw the Hot Toys Batman Classic TV Series Batmobile last year, and finally we’ll have an Adam West Batman and Burt Ward Robin to go with it.

Hot Toys teased the Iron Man Heartbreaker armor previously, but it’ll be nice to see it (and a ton of other Iron Men, I am sure) up close. And I had no idea they were doing Lone Ranger figure(s) – Johnny Depp’s Tonto is up first, and I can’t imagine that Armie Hammer’s Lone Ranger will follow soon.

San Diego Comic-Con, one of the biggest summer events of the year, will be starting next week from July 17-21!Hot Toys is very excited to be firstly unveiling the prototypes from a number of licenses at the convention.Do visit our exclusive distributor Sideshow Collectibles’ booth #1929 to see these new collectible figures in person!And to kick off – “Nanananana…Holy showcase!”More will be coming soon, please stay tuned!

No Masters of the Universe Classics Clamp Champ for MattyCollector’s July Sale Today at 9AM PST

To be fair, Mattel did warn us that some figures this year would have no day of sale stock, but for a character with a vintage counterpart like Clamp Champ? Seems like an odd choice. But with some new reports of MOTUC overstock hitting Big Lots, that might explain why management might be a little trigger shy on keeping the production levels at previous levels. All the other Masters should be available – that’s Icer from the new Filmation sub and New Adventures He-Man. Plus the customer service stock for Dragon Blaster Skeletor, Granymyr, and Filmation Randor still show as Coming Soon – I think that means they didn’t sell out during Early Access, which I missed last Thursday. Not that I intended to buy anything, but it seems like a better proposition for subscribers if Early Access were open from whenever it starts all the way through the actual sale. It seems arbitrary to open it just for a few hours on one day in advance.

On the DC side, I know a bunch of Captain Marvel fans are looking forward to Captain Marvel Junior, aka Freddy Freeman. And Watchmen fans are getting Nite Owl. I guess Mattel is holding back the Ozymandias reveal for the big show this week.

For your convenience, here’s the direct link to the bundle page for the MattyCollector July sale.

I Can’t Believe San Diego Comic-Con is Almost Here!

I got this notice from Warner Bros. about their bags for Comic-Con. When you are picking up loot, whether it’s something you’re buying or promotional swag a booth babe is handing to you, you need someplace to put it as you walk the floor. You would not believe what a life-saver it is to get your hands on these huge backpack bags that they hand out as you enter the San Diego Convention Center.

Anyways, I am woefully unprepared for SDCC. I am wrapping up a family reunion this week – we try to get together at least once a year, usually during summer when all my nieces and nephews are out of school – and almost as soon as I get home, it’s back to the road for San Diego Comic-Con.

As usual, we’ll be providing updates directly from the show floor and during the evenings when we’re recuperating in our hotel rooms. Be sure to follow us on Twitter, like us on Facebook, and subscribe to our Youtube channel. And for updates as they’re happening, be sure to follow my AFPRon Instagram account.

Updates may be light at the start of next week, but it’ll pick up on Wednesday!
