DC Universe Classics Wave 10 Packaged Pics

Mattel has updated its Facebook page with packaged pics of wave 10 of DC Universe Classics, which is exclusive to Wal-Mart. I was wondering how they were able to get Power Girl and her prodigious cleavage into the family-friendly juggernaut retailer, and I wonder if her sideways packaged stance is by Wal-Mart’s request.

Beast Boy – Beast Boy with pack out animal form. Looks familiar…

Batman – Batman is back, all in black. Check out the all new Bat-Laptop!

Forager – Forager joins the New God rebellion!

Joker – Where does he get all those wonderful accessories?

Man-Bat – By popular request, Kirk in brown deco. Prob the only time we will ever re-issue a former SDCC item.

Power Girl – Not the final pack out. Her head will be turned a bit more forward.

Robotman – Cliff’s head case is removable to see his brain!

Club Eternia Subscriptions for Masters of the Universe Classics Close Friday at Noon EST

Two things to note here:

The deadline for ordering Club Eternia, the 2010 subscription plan for Masters of the Universe Classics, is at NOON EST on Friday. So if you’ve got the tendency to sleep in on Friday mornings, it might be best to get your last minute orders in on Thursday.
Mattel is leaning towards the partial flocking option for Moss Man. Huzzah!

Honestly, I’m still on the fence for the subscription. Mattel and the Four Horsemen have such a big share of my action figure expenditures that every month I’ll be hitting up Mattycollector anyways. So if there’s something else I’m getting besides Wun-Dar and the posters, I can’t figure it out. I need to decide whether Wun-Dar is worth what I’ll be paying in extra shipping and handling next year for my Matty purchases not covered by the subscription. While I like the subscription model, I would much rather have a pre-ordering option by figure.

Here’s the pics and what I wrote up during San Diego Comic-Con for Club Eternia and the Masters line: San Diego Comic-Con Mattel Masters of the Universe Classics Pics (more of them!)

AFP’s Gleek Giveaway Now Closed

Gleek is peering into your very soul! (original credit: Ibentmymanthing)

Thank you very much to all who signed up for one or more of AFP’s free updates services. Silly me – I didn’t take a count of how many subscribers we had prior to the start of the contest, but as close as I can tell, we picked up:

Close to 400 new e-mail subscribers,
around 230 new fans on Facebook,
and around 80 new followers on Twitter.

Who knew a little blue monkey from an 80’s Saturday morning cartoon would be so popular today?

Please check your e-mail, Facebook, and Twitter accounts – a little over an hour ago I finished sending messages to the three lucky subscribers who were favored by Microsoft Excel. If you didn’t get a message from me on how to claim your prize, I’m sorry! It’s the fault of the random number generator algorithms!

This little promotion has really exceeded all my expectations, so thank you once again, and thanks to Toy Guru, Mattel, and my buddies at TheFwoosh.com for making this possible. I hope that you’ve found our content informative and fun, and that you’ll continue to follow us on ActionFigurePics.com!

Moss Man Unflocked – Mattel Wants Fan Input on Change to Masters of the Universe Classics Figure

Mattel is asking that you weigh in on Masters of the Universe Classics Moss-Man. They’re having trouble flocking him and want you to pick from two options.

Flocked with limited articulation (no elbows, knees, or ankles)
Unflocked with all the articulation

The guys at he-man.org came up with what I think are two very reasonable alternatives.

Spot-flocking – only flocking certain areas of the figure that wouldn’t hinder articulation (credit: JonWes, he-man.org)
Flocked heads with unflocked bodies (credit: shantustarsun, he-man.org)

I don’t know if spot-flocking is an option, but I prefer that the best. If that’s not possible, I think that having a flocked head with a fully articulated body is the next best thing.

Please let your voices be heard. Leave comments here, on Mattel’s Facebook page, or on he-man.org. Mattel will be making a decision on this next Monday.

Hey He-Fans,

Just to let everyone know, we are working out some of the kinks with Moss Man right now. The flocking on a highly articulated figure is a bit tricker then we expected. There is a chance Moss Man may get pushed out to April and the “as-of-yet-unannounced” April figure will get bumped up to March (see why we have bonus figures in tow, stuff like this happens a lot!). This is not confirmed yet, just want to keep you all in the loop.

And along those lines, would fans be interested in Moss Man if he was not flocked? Or is this a make or break deal? We are doing everything we can to keep him flocked, but just curious what fans think?

If the only way to flock him would be to limit the articulation would that be okay also? Curious what you all think?

We want to hear your feedback!

Here is the flocked version with head 1.

Here is what Moss Man looks like without flock with head 2. Still pretty cool. And both versions would come with both heads whether we flock or not.

Seventh Kingdom – Queen Alluxandra and Isadorra

In an industry that is dominated by licensed properties, the Four Horsemen have forged ahead with the Seventh Kingdom, a non-licensed property of their own creation. Seventh Kingdom is one line within the umbrella of the Horsemen’s Fantastic Exclusive, in which fans help determine the product characteristics, like character selection and articulation.

The Seventh Kingdom’s Queen Alluxandra and Isadorra are part of the 3rd round of Fantastic Exclusives. The first round was headlined by Xetheus the minotaur, and the second was headlined by Ramathorr the elephant, both from the Seventh Kingdom as well. I picked up Queen Alluxandra and Isadorra at the Four Horsemen’s booth at San Diego Comic-Con.
