AFP Ask Matty Round-Up for 9/15/10

Hey folks – a new installment of Ask Matty is here – thanks to the folks at Mattel!

And, how’d you all do with your MattyCollector.com orders today?

1) At AFP we’ve picked up all of the Toys R Us exclusive DC Universe Classics All-Star repaints. Who is the final one this year – is it the Joker, or Nightwing, or are both coming eventually? Will All-Star repaints continue into next year, and what are the chances of a Super Powers-colored Wonder Woman and a lighter blue colored Superman (both seen on eBay)?

Joker and a new Nightwing are in the wings to head out next, and the repaints will continue into 2011 at about one per quarter. Just which ones remains to be seen!

Check out our looks at Batman (Ron | Buzzy) and Green Lantern (Buzzy | Sandman) and come back for Buzzy’s review of the DC Universe Classics All-Star Flash tomorrow morning!

Reminder – Ghostbusters Egon Spengler and Masters of the Universe Classics Chief Carnivus and Gygor on Sale 9/15

There’s only three figures on the sale date this month on MattyCollector.com.

While he’s essentially a re-release of the San Diego Comic-Con exclusive from 2009, Egon comes unslimed with a PKE meter and a stack of books. I wonder if old school MOTU fans will scoop up Chief Carnivus, but I have no doubts Gygor will go fast. So be there at the crack of Noon EST!

Use this bundle page for ordering convenience (as much as that is possible :D) – MattyCollector.com Online Store – Create Your Bundle.

Good luck with your orders!

Mattel Publishes MattyCollector.com Schedule Through November

Honestly, I can’t wait until 2011 when my all-in Club Eternia subscription kicks in. If Tytus was any indicator, September will be a quick sell-out month with the oversized Gygor figure going on sale. And I think November will be interesting too, since Grayskull was the first figure introduced in the line, back at San Diego Comic-Con in 2009.

Remember back then? The first He-Man on MattyCollector.com took weeks to sell out! 😀

No official pics yet of the line-up, which includes a couple Ghostbusters and the JLU Parademon 2-pack, but we included some from our SDCC 2010 coverage.

Poll: Which MattyCollector Subscriptions Did You Buy?

The Club Eternia and Club Ecto-1 subscriptions for 2011 completed their enrollment period yesterday. If you missed your chance to buy in, you’ll still be able to try your luck on MattyCollector.com each month (or around every other month, for Ghostbusters). But for the subscription exclusive figures, Preternian Disguise He-Man and Marshmallow Ray, you’re stuck in the aftermarket.

I ended up going just for the Masters of the Universe Classics subscription. I’ve been really happy with all the figures so far (except for Tytus, whom I missed out on a couple of months ago), and the MOTUC figures Mattel showed for 2011 at San Diego Comic-Con were awesome – so Club Eternia was a sure thing for me. Of the figures Mattel revealed for Ghostbusters, I could only really say that I wanted Louis Tully, so I passed on Club Ecto-1.

What about you?

Ghostbusters Winston Zeddemore 12-Inch Figure Video Preview

VeeBee is a huge Ghostbusters fan, and in our interviews with Mattel at San Diego Comic-Con (which VeeBee is busy transcribing) we talked a little about the 12-inch Ghostbusters figures and how cool the packaging is.

Of course, I couldn’t justify adding another 12-inch line to my already-busting-at-the-seams collection, so I had to take their word for it. But this video preview of the upcoming Winston figure showed me what I’ve been missing. Pretty cool stuff!
