Big sale on Monday! MOTUC Tri-Klops, Infinite Heroes Crisis 4 pack, JLU Shazam pack, plus a few retail Batman Brave and the Bold and Dark Knight items! Check out MattyCollector.com at 12 noon eastern Aug 17th!
I’m not exactly sure which Brave and the Bold and Dark Knight products are going up tomorrow, but posted pics of all that’s currently up there. Matty will also have a 1:24 die cast Lightning McQueen, so it could get a little crazy, with both action figure and Hot Wheels collectors converging on the site.
Mattel also posted a round-up of sorts of the latest Ask Matty sessions (AFP’s latest Ask Matty Round-Up was posted yesterday). They touch on a lot of sore spots, for example, $20 Dark Knight Movie Masters, bonus figures not in Club Eternia, and Gleek. Not sure if the explanations will soothe the folks who are raging over them, but at least Mattel understands that some people are upset. And a new hurt for folks on the east coast – Mattel won’t be at New York Comic-Con next year. That’s not surprising, since it’s in October, during the prime selling season for big box retailers.
Our friends at ActionFigureInsider received an early set of the Wal-Mart exclusive wave of DC Universe Classics. They’ve just published pics of Beast Boy, Forager, Power Girl, and Robotman.
Cosmic Odyssey update: another one bites the dust with Forager! 😀 John Stewart is coming, but where oh where is Martian Manhunter?

Just this week you saw the carded images of Wave 10 of Mattel’s DC Universe Classics line on Matty’s Facebook page as well as here on AFi.
Now we have Wave 10 in hand and can show you the full photo features on each figure in this upcoming Walmart exclusive wave. We’re going to break this wave up into two parts.
Mattel has updated its Facebook page with packaged pics of wave 10 of DC Universe Classics, which is exclusive to Wal-Mart. I was wondering how they were able to get Power Girl and her prodigious cleavage into the family-friendly juggernaut retailer, and I wonder if her sideways packaged stance is by Wal-Mart’s request.
Beast Boy – Beast Boy with pack out animal form. Looks familiar…
Batman – Batman is back, all in black. Check out the all new Bat-Laptop!
Forager – Forager joins the New God rebellion!
Joker – Where does he get all those wonderful accessories?
Man-Bat – By popular request, Kirk in brown deco. Prob the only time we will ever re-issue a former SDCC item.
Power Girl – Not the final pack out. Her head will be turned a bit more forward.
Robotman – Cliff’s head case is removable to see his brain!
The deadline for ordering Club Eternia, the 2010 subscription plan for Masters of the Universe Classics, is at NOON EST on Friday. So if you’ve got the tendency to sleep in on Friday mornings, it might be best to get your last minute orders in on Thursday.
Honestly, I’m still on the fence for the subscription. Mattel and the Four Horsemen have such a big share of my action figure expenditures that every month I’ll be hitting up Mattycollector anyways. So if there’s something else I’m getting besides Wun-Dar and the posters, I can’t figure it out. I need to decide whether Wun-Dar is worth what I’ll be paying in extra shipping and handling next year for my Matty purchases not covered by the subscription. While I like the subscription model, I would much rather have a pre-ordering option by figure.
Last Days to order 2010 “Club Eternia”. Ends Friday at 12:00 noon EST

Matty
Wun-Dar Club figure. The post card sized map will also be sent to club members as a full sized poster with all new secrets of Grayskull printed on the reverse!
PS: The Jan figure will be Adora, the Feb figure will be Trap-Jaw/Kronis and the March figure will be Moss Man, most likley with partial flocking. Still working on this one…
