I’m really looking forward to Battle Cat, and it’s nice to see his articulation in action. But even after the video I am wondering what the articulation is like in Battle Cat’s torso.
Masters of the Universe Classics Battle Cat Review
Pixel Dan takes a look at the first deluxe figure in the MOTU Classics line, He-Man’s fearless friend Battle Cat! Check out the video to see one of the coolest figures released so far!
Two of my fellow action figure sites are hosting contests with some awesome action figure prizes. First up is Kastor’s Korner. Kastor is offering a shot at a Masters of the Universe Classics He-Ro (see the AFP review here), in exchange for your childhood memories of Masters of the Universe. The deadline is tonight! – Kastor, forgive me for missing this in the holiday rush.
Simply tell us about your favorite MOTU character. I know I have some fond memories of Moss Man and the Slime Pit. All entires must be emailed to contest@kastorskorner.com by midnight on December 30th. The winner will be notified by email on January 2nd. Make sure you put “I need a He-Ro” in the subject line and your name, address, and phone number in the email.
DC Universe Classics Wave 12 – Mary Batson (white)
Big Bad Toy Store received a partial shipment of their DC Universe Classics Wave 12 order. They got Copperhead (now sold out but still available for pre-order for the next shipment), Desaad, and both the red and white variants of Mary Batson (nee Marvel). They’re all $16.99 aside from the white variant of Mary at $19.99.
I love this line, but you ever have the feeling like it’s arriving too fast? I have still to open my set of Wave 11 – thanks Enchanted Toy Chest! If you’re still looking for 11, ETC has sets of six figures for $88.99 and eight figures for $116.99 available. You can build Kilowog with either – the only difference is whether you want the Steppenwolves or not.
The official launch date is January 1, but some stores have ignored the street date and WWE product from Mattel has hit the shelves. It’s fitting that for the launch of the line we’ve got a review of the Entrance Greats Triple H.
The pics and review are from Salem Crow. Thanks much!
Being a longtime wrestling fan, I’ve had my grubby hands on just about every style of wrestling figure that’s been produced over the years, and I happened to come across one of the new Mattel WWE figures this week – the Entrance Greats Triple H.
I like the packaging compared to some of the other bland plastic prisons on the shelves right now. The graphics give you the impression of the wrestler entering the arena with fireworks going off behind him, and the back has a nice image of this particular entrance, along with the Rey Mysterio figure out with him. The other feature is the “Try Me” opening on the right side, where you can test the theme music that the included base plays.
You can open the top of the package by slicing the tape on three sides, and then slide the entire tray right out. If you have purchased any Mattel figures recently, you’ll be familiar with the way their figures are secured. Triple H is secured with some clear rubber bands around his legs, and from wrist to wrist, behind the tray. Luckily in this case, there are no extreme poses that warp the limbs like some DC Universe Classics figures.
Mattycollector.com Next sale is January 15th! Princess Adora, Battle Armor He-Man & Beast Man are coming up Friday, 1/15 at Noon ET/9am PT. Harvey Dent and 1:24 scale Doc will be on sale, too, but they aren’t shown in this news story.
Now that the Batman Movie Masters figures have come down in price to $15 from $20, they’re back on my radar. The only thing nagging at me is how much these will be when they come out in retail in a couple of months. Bonus – the closeup picture isn’t featured on the sales page.
Harvey Dent Figure Batman: The Dark Knight
$15.00
