Holy Blackest Night – here’s the DC Universe Classics 17 Star Sapphire Wonder Woman! With the impending arrival of DCUC 17, I thought I’d wet some appetites with pics of the SS Wonder Woman I bought from an eBay seller in China.
Hey folks – just a quick reminder that Monday 5/16 is the MattyCollector sales date. Masters of the Universe Classics has Catra plus She-Ra and two other re-issues. The first of the MattyCollector exclusive Green Lantern Movie Masters, Green Man, is also up for sale.
Mattel is also experimenting with retail figures going online individually with Green Lantern Classics wave 2. From what I hear, the Dex-Starr, B’dg, and Despotellis 3-pack is the shortpacked item, so don’t miss your chance to get it while you can. Here’s a quick link to the bundle page. Happy shopping!
5/16 SALE REMINDER Green Lantern Wave 2, Catra™
Toy Fans,
Here’s your friendly sale reminder for our upcoming sale on Monday, May 16th. Be here at 9 a.m. PT and here’s what you’ll find:
Thanks to fellow Fwooshers, hagop, lesternessman and studmuffin, I finally got some Green Lantern Classics Wave 2 figures and was able to complete Stel. GLC 2 is kinda scarce round North Central Florida and for some reason, Amazon, which has been my default DC Universe Classics supplier, has yet to offer them. Hope this doesn’t mean Amazon is dropping the line…
Mattel has posted carded pics of DC Universe Classics wave 17, the Rainbow Lantern wave, on its Facebook page, and sets of DC Universe Classics 17 have started hitting eBay. I am really curious to see how these sell – when the rumors of this wave first hit, the reaction was the most mixed I’ve seen in the collector community.
Personally, I think I would have liked a third wave of Green Lantern Classics. There’s plenty of Lanterns that could benefit from existing tooling who have had a bigger presence in the comics than these characters – but I do think DC missed an opportunity for some interesting follow-on stories, had the Scarecrow and Lex kept their deputy rings.
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!
