Win a Justice League Unlimited Lobo! – Last Day to Enter on TheFwoosh.com

You’ve got until Midnight Central Standard Time tonight to enter for a chance to win a Justice League Unlimited Lobo from the Fwoosh. And it couldn’t be easier to enter. Don’t miss out!

We know you have been waiting a long time for this. Finally, the “Main Man” is coming to your JLU shelf by way of Matty Collector this June. I am pretty sure that, next to the Green Lantern that will not be mentioned, Lobo is the most fan requested figure out there. Mattel and DC found a way to get him to the fans (since he is a little bit on the violent side for the youngsters) and he will be a gauge to test if more figures like him will be possible for a similar release down the road – Kalibak, perhaps?

Well, now one lucky fan is going to get a chance to win this figure FOR FREE before anyone else! How do you ask? Well, it is simple – all you really have to do is respond to this with your personal feelings/story/reason why it is great to finally have Lobo in your JLU collection.

AFP Ask Matty Round-Up for 2/16/10

Because we knew we’d get a lot of questions answered about our favorite Mattel toy lines at Toy Fair (click here for all our Mattel Toy Fair coverage), for this round of Q&A, we wanted to learn a little more about the person responsible for bringing them to all of us.

Scott “Toy Guru” Neitlich has stepped in to answer our questions this month! Scott is the Brand Manager working on Mattel’s DC, Ghostbusters and MOTU adult collector lines. Thanks to Toy Guru for this special edition of Ask Matty!

1. What was your favorite toy as a kid, and where is it now?

As a kid I was really into MOTU and Construx. Construx was a girder and bolt building system which until recently was still offered by Fisher-Price. I used to create whole worlds of military and space ships and still have the lead attack ship I built on my desk at home. My original He-Man is here at my office next to my Classics version!
