Better late than never? Since I missed out on Stratos the first time around, I figured I’d do a pictorial review of him now that I finally have him with his recent reissue at Mattycollector.com. (As of this writing he has since sold out again.) Let’s have a look, shall we?

With the quick sell-out of Moss Man on Monday this week, I hope those of you who were hoping to pick up a Moss Man were able to. I’m lucky to be on the Club Eternia subscription – I signed on to MattyCollector.com at about 10 minutes after the official start time to pick up Stratos, and both versions of Mossy were already sold out.
I’m hoping that Sandman has his pictorials for these guys up soon. Should be fun!
This is great news for those of you who were not able to complete the elusive DC Universe Classics Wal-Mart wave 5 from 2 years ago. The wave will be sold as a set of all five figures, including the parts to build the Metallo Collect & Connect figure, on the MattyCollector.com sales date on May 17th.
With the Masters of the Universe Classics Optikk and Tytus (the second over-sized figure for the year), Ghostbusters Walter Peck, and The Dark Knight Two-Face, that is shaping up to be a crazy sales date.
DCU Wave 5 Is Alive!
DCU Fans,
Back in 2008, we released Wave 5, which was an instant success and subsequently pretty hard to find. If you missed your chance, mark May 17th on your calendar, because Wave 5 is coming back!
This release is identical to the one in 2008 − same package, same decos, not a single change to the figures. Like all our boxed sets, these are individually carded figures packed into a single box. The set has the five figures you need to build a 9” Collect and Connect™ Metallo figure. Take a look inside and you’ll find these classic characters ready to rock your collection:
- Eradicator
- Black Lightning
- Amazo
- The Riddler
- The Atom

It was my first San Diego Comic-Con, and I had no idea how difficult it could be to get the Con exclusive toys. After waiting at Mattel for almost an hour, I discovered that I was in the wrong line, and could only buy the Batman exclusive. I missed out on Keldor completely.
Now that Keldor is confirmed as a bonus figure in Masters of the Universe Classics, I do feel some anxiety, since MOTUC has been selling out so quickly. Hopefully the adjustments to the production levels will have kicked in by the time Keldor ships in June.
Keldor™ is Coming: Secrets of Skeletor® Revealed!
MOTU Fans,
For longer than we can remember, the background of Keldor™ has been shrouded in mystery… but in preparation of his arrival on June 15th here at MattyCollector.com, we herewith reveal his bio!
Keldor™ was the first figure in the 2002 line aimed directly at collectors, sold first at SDCC in 2003. So, with this amazing figure we have really come full circle. Not only does this bio reveal major secrets from the past of Skeletor®, but Keldor™ also includes a removable cape that can be used for your Skeletor® figures as well! He comes with both halves of the Power Sword® in purple (the only time we will do both halves in purple) and the acid vial that wounded him in battle with his half-brother, King Randor™.
Please note that Keldor™ is a “quarterly” figure and not part of the Club Eternia™ subscription. You can get him for your own at 12:00 Noon Eastern / 9:00am Pacific on Tuesday, June 15th here at MattyCollector.com. If you’re not registered yet for an email reminder, . You can follow me on Twitter where I post reminders, too.
