It’s another Mattycollector.com sale date today and I thought I’d share some quick pics of Masters of the Universe Conan! Seriously, doesn’t Vikor here just scream Conan? Onto the pics!
I’m looking forward to January’s sale date at MattyCollector.com – because it will be one of the few times this year I’ll have to go online to fight the hoards for a non-subscription item, in this case the Eternia Palace Guards 2-pack. I would guess that the Goddess subbing in for Evil-Lyn as the re-issue will help ease the competition, but also can see army builders going for the 2-pack in a big way.
If you’re just looking for the courtroom Peter Venkman, I’d guess that he’ll stick around for a while after the initial rush for MOTUC has died down.
1/18 SALE UPDATE: The Goddess Trumps Evil-Lyn
Just as we were ready to confirm our list of products for Tuesday’s sale, Evil-Lyn® went all diva and decided she would be a no-show. Luckily, The Goddess offered to check her ego at the garden gate and has stepped in to take her place, so once again, good triumphs. Take THAT, Evil-Lyn®!*
So, here’s our really, truly, final list of products that’ll be available on Tuesday, January 18th:
Please note The Goddess won’t be a re-issue; we’ll be offering remaining customer service stock. As always, the sale starts at 9 a.m. Pacific (12 noon Eastern), so don’t forget to mark your calendar. I send reminder emails, too, so click here if you haven’t registered yet, You can follow me on Twitter and Facebook, too.

P.S. Evil-Lyn® can’t play coy forever. Her reissue is still coming; it has just slipped out a month or two. Look for an update on availability soon.
I know he’s been out for a while, but I thought I’d indulge myself and share a couple of pics of Buzzy (Off, not Fret!) here. Just a couple of blurbs from me this time around, I’ll just let the pics do most of the talking!
Mattel gave us a tease of Catra when they published the latest release schedule for Masters of the Universe Classics in 2011 earlier today. I haven’t yet been to my local comic book store, but I did get the lowdown from a subscriber who’s had his issue of Toy Fare 163 for a few days now.
The single page write-up covers both the Princess of Power Catra figure (part of the Club Eternia subscription in May) as well as the next DC Universe Classics vs. Masters of the Universe Classics 2-pack, featuring (yet another) Hal Jordan and Zodac.
Catra follows the Princess of Power style guide design very closely, with the red dress with Hordak’s symbol, red high-heeled boots, red collar, and purple cape. In the large photo, she appears without a mask, although the write-up mentions that she’ll come with two: a red one like the cartoon (and style guide), and a silver one from the vintage toy. A smaller picture shows the red mask, presumably the other side of the picture released by Mattel earlier today.
She is pictured with both a sword with cat-faced hilt and a silver cat-faced shield with red gem – the shield is also an homage to the vintage toy. It’s unclear how the masks will work. The unmasked head is pictured without any holes – I would disappointed but not surprised if she ends up with a hole in her forehead for the masks, since that’s how Mattel made the masks work for She-Ra.
The Hal Jordan from the DCUC vs. MOTUC 2-pack was described as having the metallic modern deco (no green trunks), looking identical to the recent All-Star Green Lantern that was also a Toys R Us exclusive. The Zodac redeco seems pretty simple. All that I heard was that he is pictured with white gloves. I imagine Mattel is counting on the Green Lantern movie to drive interest in this 2-pack. Zodac was one of the slower moving Masters figures on his original release date.
Toy Fare 163 is also supposed to feature the debut of some more Green Lantern movie figures. I forgot to ask my friend about those, so I’ll be checking it out when I pick up my copy of Toy Fare later this week.
Catra’s back! I’m so punny. Here’s the latest release schedule from Mattel for Masters of the Universe Classics. I’m getting the lowdown on what appears in Toy Fare and will post in a little bit. I will be a mad dash this month with folks looking to army build the Eternian Guards.
Check out the front of Catra in this month's Toy Fare magazine!
