Rerelease Details for Masters of the Universe Classics He-Man and Skeletor

We had previously reported that the Masters of the Universe Classics He-Man and Skeletor will be getting re-released on Mattycollector.com, with He-Man on November 16 and Skeletor on December 15.  In addition to a slight packaging change, Mattel has listed out what they’ve changed on each figure.

I’m starting to get pangs of guilt for opening all my MOTU Classics figures now. 😀

DC Universe Classics Wave 9 Guardian and Wave 10 Forager

I am so psyched to have Forager gracing my Cosmic Cube (my affectionate nickname for my Cosmic Odyssey shelf) that I almost titled this article “Forager and another guy with a shield” – but that would be a huge disservice to comic fans who have been anticipating more classic comic characters in DC Universe Classics.  Yes, they both have shields, but what makes this pairing special is that both the wave 9 Guardian and wave 10 Forager are creations of the great pairing of Jack Kirby and Joe Simon.  These two also created another guy with a shield you may have heard of – Marvel’s Captain America.

A ginormous thank you to VeeBee of the Fwoosh (who omitted Forager from his First Look at DCUC wave 10 so I could have him) and Mattel for making this review possible.

Masters of the Universe Classics Tri-Klops

Every time I get a new Masters of the Universe Classics figure, I contemplate whether I should even do a review.  VeeBee at the Fwoosh did an awesome First Look when he got Tri-Klops about a month ago.  And it’s always the case that by the time I receive my figure purchase from Mattycollector.com that said figure is sold out.

But hey, this is Tri-Klops we’re talking about!  He was one of my favorite figures in the 200x relaunch of Masters, so I feel compelled.

DC Universe Classics Wave 10, Part Dos – thefwoosh.com

VeeBee at the Fwoosh completed his First Look at DC Universe Classics wave 10, exclusive to Wal-Mart. Mattel has said that Wal-Mart significantly increased their order size, so I am hopeful that wave 10 will be much easier to find than wave 5, which included Amazo, Atom, Black Lightning, Eradicator, Riddler, and Metallo (C&C).

Wave 10, with Batman, Beast Boy, Forager, Joker, Man-Bat, Power Girl, Robotman, and Imperiex (C&C), looks to be packed solid with winners. Except maybe for Imperiex, the Collect and Connect figure. Not that he’s not imposing and a nice looking figure, but I don’t know anything about him, but don’t feel bad because many of my colleagues with deep comic knowledge were also stumped.

Power Girl really looks like she’s turned out quite nicely. Might be the best paint apps translation from prototype to production.

Check out many many many more pics at Fwoosh’s DCUC Wave 10 First Look.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Round two coming ‘atcha! Yesterday we brought you a First Look at the upcoming DCUC 10 Batman, Joker, Man-Bat and Beast Boy; today we have your sneak peek at the rest of the wave (well most of it anyway) as we now have pictures of Power Girl, Robotman and the Collect and Connect figure, the imposing Imperiex.

DC Universe Classics Wave 10, Part Uno – thefwoosh.com

No, we’re not doing an homage to DC’s Countdown.  Just as we put up the second part of AFi’s DC Universe Classics wave 10 archive, Fwoosh hits us with part one of their look at the Wal-Mart exclusive wave 10, with Beast Boy, Batman, Joker, and Man-Bat.  There’s so much to like here, and VeeBee has really turned it up a notch with a very in depth, picture heavy First Look at these figures.

I’m drawn in particular to the Joker, who, with his Joker Fish accessory, looks to have leaped off of the late, great Marshall Rogers’ drawing board.  There’s nothing I can even nitpick about on the figure, other than that I’ll miss the “BANG” gun that he had been previously shown with.

It happens every so often that you get one of those figures and after you open it and put it on your shelf and admire it for a tick, you can just say, “Wow, I don’t think I will ever need another figure of this character”, because it is executed so well. That has happened to me a few times with past DCUC figures but I have to say, there might be several new definitive figures coming out of series 10.
