Mattel, Whippy, and Toy Biz Action Figure Stand Comparison – TheFwoosh.com

MatthewK at the Fwoosh helps me take one item off the AFP to do list by comparing the new action figure stands from Mattel with the Whippy Superpose and old Toy Biz stands. I like the review – there wasn’t anything I would say differently from him – aside from throwing us a bone and talking a little about the awesome Sinestro Corps customs he has in most of the pictures.

I must be under the influence of the Orange Lantern, because I want them all!

Mattycollector.com released their new action figure flight stands this week, so it seemed like a good time to talk about flight stands. We take a look at the new Matty stands and compare them to other available flight stands.

Masters of the Universe Classics Princess Adora, Battle Armor He-Man, and Re-Issued Beast Man on Sale January 15

For those of you still recovering after the big sale day on MattyCollector.com this month, I’m sorry to say that you might not get a break in January.  Mattel just updated the store with the Masters of the Universe Classics items for 1/15, and in addition to Princess Adora from She-Ra, we’ve got Battle Armor He-Man and a re-issue of Beast Man as bonus figures.

I’ve got a Club Eternia subscription, so I’ll be getting Princess Adora, but Battle Armor He-Man was one of my favorite figures as a kid, so I’ll definitely be picking him up too.  I wish Mattel and Digital River would figure out how to combine orders so I don’t keep getting hit with multiple shipping charges.  Adding the bonus figures to the subscription isn’t the solution, either, because I also would want to include purchases from the other lines like Ghostbusters and DC Universe Classics.  Is it really so hard to fix this?

Princess Adora, Battle Armor® He-Man® & Beast Man® On Sale 1/15

MOTU Fans,

The first sale of 2010 is only a month away and it’s gonna be total MOTU madness! Friday, January 15th marks our first offering ever of both Princess Adora and the ridiculously cool Battle Armor® He-Man® who comes with swappable armor plates.

We’ve also got a reissue of Beast Man®, so if he escaped your collection the first time we offered him, here’s your chance to snag one.

As usual, the fun starts here at MattyCollector.com at 12:00 noon Eastern (9:00am Pacific), so remember to mark your calendar. You can also click here to register for email and we’ll send a reminder to your inbox.

AFP Ask Matty Round-Up for 12/16/9

It looks as though the answers to our questions for this round may have been lost in the cloud, so if my colleagues will indulge me, I’ll pick five of the best questions and answers from around the internet toy community.

The first answer may not have been that informative, but it had Jitsu. 😀

1. Figures.com – The Four Horsemen did a fantastic job with the Jitsu 200X staction. Is this character on tap for the near future or do fans have a long wait ahead of them?

We can’t comment on unannounced figures, sorry! Jitsu is a favorite around here too.

Some of Mattel’s collector lines were featured on Attack of the Show earlier tonight in a “Gifts for Geeks” segment.

Featured were:

All this goodness was matched up with Lamp in a Box, making for some odd segues.

Fun stuff!

Holiday Geek Gift Ideas

We’ve got 2 weeks left until Christmas, which means it’s time for Alison Haislip to show us the perfect gadgetry for the holiday geek, like a Lamp in a Box, WWE action figures, the Avatar Interactive Battle Pack and more. Forget everyone else, we might pick up some of this cool stuff for ourselves.

Masters of the Universe Classics Trap Jaw and Wun-Dar Packaged Pics

We’ve seen Battle Cat already (after a long long wait) but Trap Jaw and Wun-Dar packaged gives us more to anticipate for Valentine’s Day.  Wun-Dar, and the 30×20 map of Eternia, were originally expected in March, but I’m not complaining about getting him early.  Trap Jaw, and his “before” state of Kronis, round out the MOTU figures for February (what, no re-release?) – and that’s a lot of awesome to get your arms around.

Also, this Tuesday is the big MattyCollector.com sale day, and Mattel has put together a bundled order page to make things easier.

Finally, a note on Evil-Lyn, the MOTU Classics figure for April – Mattel has clarified on their Facebook page that there is not an Evil-Lyn chase figure as was reported by Lee’s, but that there is more to be revealed.  You can see pics of Evil-Lyn in Toy Fare and Lee’s this week.
