First Look – MOTU Classics Man-At-Arms – TheFwoosh.com

Wow, this has been a great week for action figures – and it’s only Tuesday!   TheFwoosh.com has posted an early look at the upcoming Man-At-Arms figure from the Masters of the Universe Classics line. He goes on sale on July 15 on Mattycollector.com.

So, I hope that the pictures do most of the talking for this figure. Hordak sold out in about an hour on Monday and I truly expect for MAA to follow suit. Be on www.mattycollector.com right on time on July 15th. This figure is the real deal and might be the best overall figure Mattel has done. Maybe ever. Seriously.

Four Horsemen Reveal Next Seventh Kingdom Figures – Akkuli, Kromius, and Biggara

In the second installment of the Four Horsemen’s 7th Kingdom reveals, we’ve got three more figures.  I’m somewhat partial to The Fwoosh’s offering – I helped choose it!

THE QUEEN AND HER COURT – PART 2

Yesterday, in part 1 of “The Queen and Her Court”, you were introduced to Queen Alluxandra of the Bluddmane Clan and Isadorra of the Ironspynne Clan, the first pair new of figures from the Four Horsemens’ fan-favorite property, “7th Kingdom”.

Today you’re going to be introduced to three more feminine denizens of the 7th Kingdom, each to be offered through a different online retailer, toy news website, or action figure magazines.

First up is the blue hued feline warrior – Akkuli. Akkuli will be available through Action Figure Xpress (http://www.ShopAFX.com), and if she lasts long enough, will also be available at the 2009 San Diego Comic Con.

Second is the gleaming elemental – Kromius. Available through The Fwoosh (http://www.TheFwoosh.com), the extremely limited Kromius will go fast.

Last up for today is the first of two exclusives to be carried by Big Bad Toy Store (http://www.BigBadToyStore.com), the fair-furred feline fighter – Biggara.

All three of these warrior women will each wield a deadly spear, and a razor sharp small sword. The price of each figure will be determined by each individual retailer at in the near future. At a later date, all three of these figures as well as Queen Alluxandra and Isadorra will also be available in a complete set along with all of the other yet-to-be-revealed exclusive variants only through Store Horsemen (http://www.StoreHorsemen.com).

Be sure to check back tomorrow when we’ll introduce the next three warrior women of the 7th Kingdom!

Four Horsemen Reveal Next Seventh Kingdom Figures – Queen Alluxandra and Isadorra

The Four Horsemen have released images and a write-up for their latest entries in their 7th Kingdom line of figures.  I’m really looking forward to the rest of this week, when they’ll be revealing all of the different variants and the various online retailers and websites that are participating.  While Alluxandra was on display at San Diego Comic-Con last year, I don’t think Isadorra had been widely shown before today, and I’m pretty impressed that they were really able to get two very distinct figures out of the same basic buck.  Should be fun revealing the rest of the figures!

THE QUEEN AND HER COURT

Production of the Four Horsemen’s latest action figure offering  from their property “7th Kingdom” is in full swing and are expected to ship from the factory early next week. “Queen Alluxandra of the Bluddmane Clan” is the main character in this latest wave of figures from the Horsemen and in keeping with Four Horsemen tradition, she won’t be arriving by herself.

As with previous Seventh Kingdom Releases (Xetheus and Ramathorr), a group of exclusive variants of the main character have been created and will be offered through various online retailers, toy news websites, and action figure magazines.

Over the next four days (including today) the Four Horsemen will release images of Queen Alluxandra and her variants, and will also reveal the name of each character and where that figure can be purchased.

On Friday some of these figures will go up for pre-order on some of the retailers’ websites, and next week you’ll have the opportunity to pre-order the complete set of exclusives through the Four Horsemen’s own online retail outlet: Store Horsemen (http://www.StoreHorsemen.com).

These first two figures are going to be available only through the Four Horsemen themselves: “Queen Alluxandra of the Bluddmane Clan” and “Isadorra of the Ironspynne Clan”.

Both figures will come with their respective scepters, and each will also wield a battle sword for when diplomacy just doesn’t do the trick. Queen Aluxandra will also carry a removable dagger.

Each figures will retail for $20.00 and both will be available from the Four Horsemen at the 2009 San Diego Comic Con and through Store Horsemen.

Masters of the Universe Classics Update – Facebook

Toy Guru has posted an update for Masters of the Universe Classics on Mattel’s Facebook page.  Since it’s a long post, here’s a brief summary:

  • The line is doing well enough that we may see two MOTU Classics items on sale per month in 2010
  • They’ve found a lot of original MOTU material in the Mattel archives and will try to leverage it in the line
  • The He-Ro variant with the green spell stone will be the most common (red and purple less common), and figures sold at San Diego Comic-Con will have a tampo SDCC logo under his armor
  • Hordak’s on sale today, as well as the DC Universe Classics Alexander Luthor and Ultraman set
  • And some SDCC news – Battle Cat on Wednesday night, and more figures after their panel on Friday, and they’ll be selling subscriptions for 2010 on site

MOTUC Hordak and DCUC Luthor and Ultraman on Sale June 15

Just wanted to post a quick reminder that the Masters of the Universe Classics Hordak and the DC Universe Classics Alexander Luthor and Ultraman set will be on sale tomorrow, June 15, at 9AM PT.  The increase in MOTU Classics quantities for Zodac helped keep him available longer, but I expect that with Hordak’s popularity, he’s going to sell out quickly.  So don’t be late!
