Mattel Reveals Exclusive Chase Variant for Ghostbusters Retro Action Peter Venkman

I guess the San Diego Comic-Con experience wouldn’t be complete without a chase variant from Mattel. In the past couple of years, there was the clear DC Super Heroes Man-Bat, the bronze Masters of the Universe Classics King Grayskull, and the Toy Story “Andy” stamped Buzz Lightyear, among others.

This year it’s the green-skinned Ghostbusters Retro Action Peter Venkman, from the first season episode “Citizen Ghost” – it will be randomly-packed and available only at SDCC. This begs the question if Mattel will ever make variants for the other three Ghostbusters.

SDCC REVEAL! Ghostbusters Retro Action Peter Venkman

Retro Action is coming to the Ghostbusters with this “Citizen Ghost” Peter figure from the animated series “The Real Ghostbusters”! Peter talks with 3 phrases right from the show. Also includes proton pack and wand. Special variant for SDCC is an all Ecto Slime version of Peter with clear green skin. This variant is randomly packed and available only at the show! While supplies last.

Mattel San Diego Comic-Con Updates – Starro Packaging and Pre-Sale Vouchers

Two pretty awesome updates from Mattel on the MattyCollector site today. First up, a demo of the packaging for the JLA Presents Starro the Conqueror exclusive. I had heard that Kevin Conroy was providing the voiceovers here, but I didn’t realize that there was going to be so much of it.

And second, for those of you attending San Diego Comic-Con, maybe the lines for exclusives won’t be quite so bad this year. Mattel is offering pre-sales via MattyCollector on Tuesday, July 13, with pickup times next door to the San Diego Convention Center on Thursday – Saturday.

Mattel to Sell Masters of the Universe Classics She-Ra and Justice League Unlimited Lobo

In case you missed this with the long weekend, Mattel announced it would be selling two recent MattyCollector.com offerings, the Masters of the Universe Classics She-Ra and the Justice League Unlimited Lobo at San Diego Comic-Con.

And if you need reminding, here’s the rundown of Mattel exclusives at SDCC.

SDCC Update

Hey toy fans!

With SDCC only just over 2 weeks away I wanted to give you a quick update.

First off we will have a full schedule of events, panels, signings, and raffles posted as soon as we lock everything down. SDCC 2010 will feature more brands than ever before participating in the Mattel booth. As always, you can expect a huge showing from all of my favorite collector brands such as DCU, JLU, WWE, MOTUC, Ghostbusters and more!

In addition to our exclusives, we’ll also be selling some other collector product in limited quantities. As announced on my forums, we do have some Lobo figures (for you JLU fans!) and She-Ra figures (for her 25th anniversary!). Both are the same run that sold on Mattycollector.com in June, we just saved a few for SDCC.

A full list will be posted soon. Stay tuned soon for more…and hope to see you all in San Diego!

First Look – DC Universe Classics SDCC 2010 Plastic Man – TheFwoosh.com

There’s been a lot of Mattel news in the past week and a half that started with the announcement that Mattel landed the Voltron license for the upcoming animated series. But I’d be remiss if I didn’t point out the extremely awesome first look that VeeBee posted on the Fwoosh of the upcoming DC Universe Classics Plastic Man a few days back.

To be perfectly honest, I’m not exactly a big fan of Plas – primarily because when I was first exposed to him, all I really wanted in comics was dark, brooding, angsty stuff. But I do think that this figure delivers all that it possibly could. I’ll definitely be picking him up.

San Diego Comic-Con Exclusive DC Universe Classics Plastic Man Packaged Pics

As we’ve come to expect from Mattel, the SDCC DC Universe Classics Plastic Man packaging is outstanding. It’s made to look like Plas himself, and the removable and wearable glasses are simply great touches.

Plastic Man Packaging Shapes Up to Be Super Special

DCU Fans,

One of the SDCC figures we know you’re stoked to see is the one and only malleable immortal, Plastic Man. Being that he’s a super hero and all, we felt his packaging should be equally impressive and here’s your first look!

This special packaging has been shaped to look like Plastic Man himself and it comes in a full-color shipper box for safe keeping. But the coolest thing of all? A pair of Plastic Man glasses are included that can be removed from the package and worn by you!

The figure itself has interchangeable standard arms, stretchy arms, giant form hands (a fly swatter and a bouncy ball with racket), and interchangeable stretchy neck and leg springs. If you do purchase Plastic Man at SDCC, he’ll also come with a special suitcase available only at the show (packed in a separate poly bag). Not just any suitcase, of course… his arms, head and neck can be attached to the suitcase to make him appear disguised as luggage. Inside the suitcase is a chip-art comic book cover from the 75 years of DC Comics.

Can’t make it to SDCC? Don’t worry; Plastic Man (sans suitcase) will be available here on MattyCollector.com after the show, so keep your eye on this spot for more details!
