Toy Guru and Mattel are back with another edition of Ask Matty. Thanks, guys!
1. We love the softer plastic that was used for the outfit on the Masters of the Universe Classics Evil-Lyn (see Sandman’s Evil-Lyn review), which really helps when posing her legs. Are you planning to use this softer plastic when you re-issue Teela?
This Monday may be another fun day at MattyCollector.com. Six separate figures (which can be purchased on the bundle page for the month) will be on sale:
Masters of the Universe Classics Optikk – the first character from the New Adventures of He-Man is the Club Eternia figure for the month
Masters of the Universe Classics Tytus – the fighting giant is the over-sized bonus figure
Masters of the Universe Classics Mer-Man – this will be his first re-issue
The Dark Knight Two Face – at long last, if you’re looking to complete your collection of Dark Knight Movie Masters, Two-Face is the last lead character to get a figure – you don’t count Rachel Dawes, do you?
Retro-Action DC Super-Heroes Green Lantern
Ghostbusters Walter Peck
I’m wondering how Tytus will do – while he looks great, I think a lot of people expected more articulation for a $40 figure. But who am I kidding? He’ll still sell out. Good luck on Monday!
Mattel has posted details on its June 15th sale date. With the late addition of DC Universe Classics Wave 5 (the first Wal-Mart exclusive wave) to an already loaded line-up, it’s bound to be a day full of fast sell-outs.
6/15 SALE: She-Ra™, 6” Peter Venkman™ & More
Toy Fans,
When it comes to our June 15th sale, there’s only one question: who says girls can’t kick booty just like the boys? One look at our long-awaited She-Ra™ figure and you know they truly do have the power! She’s not alone, though, because June also brings us big bad boo buster Peter Venkman™, plus JLULobo, and other toughies.
Here’s the complete list of products we’ll have for sale on Tuesday, June 15th (as always, subject to change):
I’m psyched for people that want Walter Peck for their Ghostbusters collections. Personally, if I pick him up, it will be more for the outstanding accessory – the wall and containment unit with working hatch. For those of you who didn’t pick up Winston Zeddemore, Peck will also come with a non-opening, non-corded ghost trap.
So, that is the plastic realization of the perfect movie scumbag. I can’t freakin’ wait to get Venkman so I can pose these two together. Even now, despite that I am a total face-forward vanilla action figure poser, I am tempted to pose my Spengler figure trying to throw a choke hold on Peck. Any guy that can elicit that strong of a reaction out of Egon is certifiably butt-headed in my book. “Your mother!” Awesome.
