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!

Just like last year, Mattel revealed a few of their San Diego Comic-Con exclusives on Attack of the Show last night. Highlighted were:
While they didn’t highlight any Masters of the Universe Classics items, keen-eyed observers may have spotted what looks like a space-suited Queen Marlena with interchangeable heads and dress, with a Cringer slug figure. Check that out at 37 seconds into the video.

These have been out for a little while now, but I wanted to give my thoughts on the line anyway, as it has not gotten much attention. This is my first MEGO style action figure ever, so how did I like it? Does it stack up to the Mattel Ghostbusters Classics line? Find out after the jump!
C2E2 – Chicago Comics & Entertainment Expo just wrapped up this Sunday and AFP was there to cover all the cool new toy coming out soon. Here is a quick look rundown of the most news-worthy items at the convention.

Seeing the Ghostbusters update from Mattel reminded me that I *still* haven’t finished posting everything from Toy Fair. I know – there’s just no excuse. Shown above is the Winston shown at Toy Fair. Talyn was at C2E2 this weekend and will have pics including the updated Winston up on Monday. Based on the update, it sounds like Winston might not come out in July.

Hey Ghostbusters Fans, we’re hard at work on the 2011 line and wanted to give you the latest on these upcoming figures…
Slimeblower Winston. He’ll be released this summer (date TBD). The figure shown at NYTF had the incorrect head, ungloved forearms, and gloves hanging on the belt. The figure that will be shown at C2E2 is updated, but still not final. He’ll have the correct head, gloved hands and forearms, and the corrected belt with no gloves.
12″ Ray & Egon. Scheduled for release this fall (date TBD). The NYTF version had the incorrect jumpsuits and the version at C2E2 will be incorrect as well. The final version will be tan and will have the Ghostbusters 2 patch and removable name tags. They’ll also include gray jumpsuits that will allow their suits to be interchangeable.
So that’s what we know at the moment. We’ll post updates and images as their release dates get closer.
–Matty
