AFP Ask Matty Round-Up for 6/1/11

Would you look at this? We made the deadline for the latest installment of Ask Matty. Big thanks to the folks at Mattel!

1) We’re pretty psyched to have Swamp Thing finally joining the DC Universe Classics line! Can you tell us more about the “endoskeletal” articulation – is that an existing DCUC body under there, or a new base just from Swamp Thing? Will the underlying figure have the standard DCUC points of articulation, like bicep, waist, wrist, and thigh swivels?

We’ve asked design if they can provide specifics. As soon as we get an answer back we will post it.

Have You Pre-Ordered Your Scarabus Sets?

I’ve been pretty busy with my day job (as evidenced by the relative lack of updates here) but not too busy to put in my order for Scarabus at the Store Horsemen site (which has a new URL: http://www.shopfourhorsemen.com/). I knew I wasn’t going to have room for the awesome Scarabus 10-pack, but I did want to get all of the Egyptian-themed variants, which the Four Horsemen made available for pre-order as the Dark Deities set.

To spread some more Marvel love, here are some Quick Pics of the newly released Marvel Universe Giant-Size X-Men set!

For those who want to know the particulars, I picked up this set at my local TRU for the sum of $34.99 plus tax. The set is actually for Ron who is having a hard time finding it out on the Left Coast. I normally shun the 4″ Devil and all his tiny works but for a good friend like Ron, I risked the chance of falling victim to the allure of MU.

Mattel San Diego Comic-Con 2011 Exclusives at the Comic Bug

I got a chance to swing by The Comic Bug in Manhattan Beach to see a preview of Mattel’s upcoming SDCC Exclusives. Mattel’s El Segundo Main Office is close by and apparently some Matty people come here for their comic fixes and were able to let them display this year’s Comic-Con exclusives for a couple of days (the display only lasts ’til today, Tuesday, May 10th). They were kind enough to let me take some pics!
