Marvel Legends Executioner 1 Marvel Legends Executioner 2 Marvel Legends Executioner 3

Marvel Legends Executioner by Stevid – while the Wrecking Crew might be a bit oversized, I hope that when Hasbro finally gets around to making the Executioner that they reuse that body – in the meantime, here’s your chance to add this essential Thor baddie to your collection – ends May 22, 2013 18:30:15 PDT

MattyCollector Early Access Open for May Sale – Will Spirit of Hordak Frustrate Fans?

MattyCollector.com May Sale

Toy Guru promised to make Early Access worthwhile to subscribers, and as it opens this morning I wonder if he it’s working out in practice. For one, there have been a couple of last minute changes – sometimes the emails and news updates on the site are inconsistent. Like this month, the email referenced the Masters of the Universe Classics Evil-Lyn, but at the last minute they’ve switched to Stinkor. And, for the most part, Early Access has been limited to older MOTUC figures that long-time collectors already have.

Of course, that changed when the convention exclusive MOTUC Strobo came and went in Early Access in about five minutes, causing lots of subscribers to scream bloody murder. And chances are good that we’re heading for another one of those this morning.

Update: Early Access got a late start. Spirit of Hordak was available for about 5 minutes – sold out now. By the clock on my laptop he was up for grabs from 8:13 – 8:18AM PST. Let us know if you were able to pick one up!

She-Ra Coming This Fall to NBC – Mattel Toys on Retail Shelves Next?

She-Ra on NBC starring Kylie Minogue

With the ABC hit series Once Up Upon a Time becoming a franchise with spin-off Once Upon a Time in Wonderland, it seems that NBC wants in on the resurgent female-oriented fantasy drama. They’ve got big plans for She-Ra, starring Australian pop sensation Kylie Minogue. Hey, she starred as Cammy in the Street Fighter movie with Jean Claude Van Damme, so we know she’s got the chops for the demanding action sequences.

This is what Mattel has been waiting for. How long until we see them get back onto retail shelves with Masters of the Universe Classics?

Farpoint Power of Grayskull Diorama 01

The guys at Farpoint Toys & Collectibles shared their out of this world Power of Grayskull Diorama with us. The display is in a 9.5 x 8 foot store window. It’s got over 40 Masters of the Universe Classics figures in it, and over a thousand bricks in its custom Castle Grayskull. It’s so incredible that I’d be willing to set foot in New Jersey just to see it. (Hey, I used to lived there, so I can joke about it!)
