Masters of the Universe Classics Moss Man Press Pics

And, just like that, we’re back into some more Mattel goodness. They just published final pics of the Masters of the Universe Moss Man on Facebook. As you may recall, they ran into some issues with flocking and articulation a couple months back.

After seeing how he turned out, I’ve got both feet firmly in the “no flocking” camp for Panthor, when they get to him. I think it’s fine for Moss Man, because that was his thing back in the 80’s, but I don’t want to see the awesome sculpt from Battle Cat covered up.

Final Moss Man is in! Gallery 1988 update!

Just got in our final sample of Moss Man! We know fans have been waiting to see how the flock turned out. We really pushed the limits to flock as much as possible. Enjoy the shots!

Also, for those in the LA area, be sure to head over to Gallery 1988 this Friday night for the Art of MOTU show opening. Not only will this free event feature some of the hottest artists interpreting the world of MOTU, but we will be revealing one of our SDCC MOTUC items at the show! Full details for the show are in the news section on Mattycollector.com!

For now, enjoy the pics!

First Look – DC Universe Classics Series 12 – TheFwoosh.com

It’s shaping up to be a Mattel-heavy New Year. Since the start of the new decade, Salem Crow has written a guest review for the the WWE Elite Series figures, and Buzzy reviewed the DC Universe Classics Justice in the Jungle set and has wave 11 in the works. I’ve got something DCUC-related planned for later in the week. And Mattel just released press pics of DCUC 13.

On top of that, the first looks are rolling in.

VeeBee posted the upcoming Masters of the Universe Classics Battle Armor He-Man yesterday, and today he’s got this – a look at some of DCUC 12, including the new packaging, the collectible pins, and a great look at Darkseid and his Killing Glove.

I’ll have to try to fit in something non-Mattel soon. 😀

Continuing on with our latest round of First Looks we have a peek at the first “half” of the brand new DC Universe Classics series twelve figures! There are lots of changes in store for this line in 2010 (mostly to help celebrate the 75th anniversary of DC Comics) and we are getting a packaging change over as well as a new collector pin promotion that will also cross-pollinate into some of Mattel’s other DC lines.

I have been really excited for series twelve since it was unveiled not long after San Diego Comic Con last year (I think it is the strongest overall assortment for my personal tastes since series nine) and today we will be looking at the figures of The Spectre (standard and variant), Copperhead, Mary Batson (nee Marvel) in her red AND white togs as well as my personal favorite of this bunch – Desaad!

DC Universe Classics Wave 13 Press Pics

Mattel has published the pics of DC Universe Classics wave 13 that originally started showing up on retailer sites a few weeks ago, but this set also includes the Collect & Connect Trigon as well as images of Cyclotron without his face plate.

It’s very interesting to see them move to double-jointed elbows and (perhaps) knees, as well as hinged wrists, on the modern Jaime Reyes Blue Beetle. I think if we asked Mattel (and we will), they would say that the make articulation decisions based on the character, using Green Arrow and his hinged wrists as an example. Jaime is definitely an acrobatic character, so the upgraded articulation makes sense, but I would like to see more characters articulated like him.

Blue Beetle III – featuring some of the highest number of points of articulation in any DCUC figure to date!

Blue Devil -long overdue!

Modern Cheetah. A 50/50 variant.

Vintage Cheetah. A 50/50 variant.

Cyclotron. Anyone up for completing their original 1980’s DC toys in DCUC style? He will come with a base, not a Collect and Connect piece.

Negative Man. One step closer to the Doom Patrol.

Negative Man – chase figure.

Superboy Clone – at long last the Return of Superman saga is complete!

Wonder Girl adds to the Teen Titans line up!

Collect and Connect Trigon for Wave 13.

First Look – Masters of the Universe Classics Battle Armor He-Man – TheFwoosh.com

I loved my Battle Armor He-Man when I was a kid, and this figure captures everything that made it a great toy. Since the armor is removable, I think I would have preferred to have flesh underneath it and sculpted abs instead of the smoothed out armor piece – that would have made the figure a little more versatile. I may put this head and armor on my original He-Man.

If you are on the fence about this figure, I say go for it, he really is the best He-Man we have gotten in my opinion. If you are just now getting into the Masters line and don’t have a He-Man figure yet, you are in luck – this one will make a representation of the main Master on your shelf. I had always planned on getting this figure even though I was not sure what I was going to do with him. Well, this one will with Battle Cat – it’s like peanut butter and chocolate, they go great together. The one quibble I think most will find is that he only comes armed with his battle axe – no sword or shield. Remember, you have to be on Matty Collector on the 15th in order to get him!

DC Universe Classics Justice In The Jungle Two-Pack

Wow! Sure seems like Mattel was trying their best to make it a DCUC Christmas this year! By the beginning of December DCUC 10 was out in force at Wal-Marts all over the USA, DCUC 11 was en route to or even partially in stock with many comic stores and online dealers and on December 15th the new MattyCollector.com exclusive DCUC Justice In The Jungle 2 Pack went up for sale. If you haven’t heard, the current scuttlebutt from Mattel is that this will be the last 2 Pack Exclusive offered on MattyCollector. Hopefully Mattel will come up with a new format for offering exclusive DCUC figures or at least some of the older, hard to find ones.
