Wonder Woman on Sale at DC Collectibles

After seeing the Injustice Doomsday reveal, I was browsing through the DC Collectibles site and noticed that a lot of the Wonder Woman items are on sale right now. I am guessing this not just a random occurrence, but I haven’t seen any promotional activity of the sale – maybe it’s for Mother’s Day? Here’s the Wonder Woman figures that are on sale, including a superb deal on the Flashpoint set.

Other items are on sale too, including Wonder Woman’s Bust. I didn’t post the picture, but I figure some of you might click through just to see it. (Spoiler – those bracelets are used for more than blocking bullets!)

C2E2 2013 Photo Report

Once again this year I made the trek to the Chicago Comics & Entertainment Expo in Chicago, Illinois. Below is a sampling of the cool and not so cool stuff that can be found there.  Some of the highlights were the new area just for indie artists called “The Block”, and the awesome display of graded vintage Star Wars toys at the “Vintage Toys & Pop Culture Auction.”

May the Fourth Be With You – Limited Edition Mimoco Star Wars R2-A6 Astromech MIMOBOT Flash Drive

I’m still trying to forgive Mimoco for their exclusive Jar Jar Binks MIMOBOT, but here they go again with more prequel love on Star Wars Day. At least this time it’s a cute astromech droid.

May the Fourth be with you this Star Wars™ Day!

Mimoco (www.mimoco.com), makers of the MIMOBOT® line of designer USB flash drives, in collaboration with Lucasfilm and in honor of the Star Wars fan favorite holiday May the Fourth Be With You, announce the R2-A6 MIMOBOT®. R2-A6, an astromech droid in the same family as R2-D2, is translated in the MIMOBOT’s stylistically illustrated flash drive form. Available in up to 128GB and USB 3.0 capabilities, the drive comes in a run of 1,000 limited edition hand-numbered units. The R2-A6 MIMOBOT drive also comes preloaded with bonus Mimory® and the MimoDesk® personalization suite of wallpapers, icons, and avatars.

R2-A6 is known as a good-luck charm to the Royal Naboo Security Forces and now, in MIMOBOT form and function, can be a positive omen for your data storage. The droid’s green and white color scheme is derivative in design and function of fellow mechanically-versed droid, R2-D2. Just as a proper astromech droid would be expected to perform, R2-A6 MIMOBOT allows documents, music, photos, and data to be shared, transported, and collected for its master. Just don’t expect it to repair a starfighter malfunction in our earthbound orbit!

“Luck is always a nice bonus when you are talking about technology,’” says Mimoco’s PR Gal Jessica Smiley. “It’s no coincidence that A6 is green, it has good memory juju written all over it.”

The R2-A6 MIMOBOT flash drive joins several other Star Wars MIMOBOT characters like fellow faithful droids R2-D2 and C-3PO. The limited edition R2 unit is now available at www.mimoco.com in a run of just 1,000 units.

May the Fourth Be With You – LEGO Star Wars Deals this Weekend Only, Plus the Arrival of New Red Five X-Wing

Speaking of LEGO, we just got word that they’re running deals on LEGO Star Wars products all weekend in honor of Star Wars Day. For example, the LEGO Star Wars B-Wing will be half off, and many other items will be 10 – 20% off. LEGO is also using May the Fourth to launch its newest exclusive, the LEGO Star Wars Red Five X-Wing. I had the original Ultimate Collector Series X-Wing way back when LEGO first launched the Star Wars brand – that thing was massive, a lot of fun to build, and the new one looks to add new details over the original (here’s a link to a used LEGO UCS X-Wing with a crazy price).

Mattel Announces San Diego Comic-Con Exclusive Masters of the Universe Classics Mini He-Man & Skeletor Figures

For their final SDCC exclusive reveal of the week, Mattel unveiled a possible line extension for its Masters of the Universe Classics line – Mini Masters! We had seen stylized mini-MOTU figures previously at San Diego, with the cryptic messaging that they were trying to find a home for this new cute but deadly format. Mattel has found them a tie-in with the popular He-Man: The Most Powerful Game in the Universe download for your iPhone and iPad. (Android users take heart – He-Man is still making his way to Android devices.)

For now, we’ve got He-Man and Skeletor as exclusives – but if they’re popular, maybe we’ll be seeing more next year on MattyCollector.com. Best thing is that these new figures are in scale with the upcoming Masters of the Universe Classics Castle Grayskull. I kid! I KID!

Mattel also announced they’d be bringing the last of the remaining Back to the Future Hover Boards to the show.

Masters of the Universe® Classics Mini He-Man® & Skeletor® Figures

Masters of the Universe Classics Mini He-Man & Skeletor Figures 1 Masters of the Universe Classics Mini He-Man & Skeletor Figures 2 Masters of the Universe Classics Mini He-Man & Skeletor Figures 3

Great things come in small packages! At long last, the fan demanded mini versions of He-Man® and Skeletor®… in a foldout mini Castle Grayskull® diorama package! Each figure has six points of articulation at the arms, legs, waist and neck, and comes with snap-on accessories such as a power sword, shield and havoc staff. He-Man® features a shield with traditional j-hook, allowing it to be held out in front instead of clipped onto his arm!

This product will be available for pre-order at MattyCollector.com on June 4, 2013, to be picked up at San Diego Comic-Con (details to come). It will also be available for purchase at the show, then at MattyCollector.com on August 5, 2013.
