It’s getting pretty late and I need my beauty rest, so this one covering the SDCC Exclusive Toy Story Buzz Lightyear is going to be pretty brief.
I’m not sure why I took pictures of the outer box. It’s black. It has what I presume is the Buzz Lightyear logo on it. It also picks up fingerprints like one of those beautiful people on CSI: Miami. The goods are inside. Buzz’s rocketship are held in place by a couple of cardboard inserts that help protect those wings. It’s been a long time since I’ve watched the first Toy Story, but the packaging is close enough for my poor memory. It evokes the packaging from the movie, even if it’s not accurate to it.
Since the Mattel exclusives are going on sale tomorrow, I’ll try to get some quick hits up on the exclusives that I picked up. Sometimes I get the fever to buy something, anything, and on big sales days, that fever can get me in a lot of trouble. Maybe seeing some pics and hearing me ramble on will help you figure out whether you really want to buy something.
So, first up is the Masters of the Universe He-Ro. I picked up the exclusive version at San Diego, and for a really great review, Veebee at TheFwoosh.com did a pretty extensive look at it about a month and a half ago. I’ll point out what’s different between the versions and why mine is so much better than his! 😉
Win one of these Gleeks! Just the bagged ones - that one in front is staying right here.
A lot of AFP’s readers come from TheFwoosh.com – if you’re one of them, then you probably know about a little Gleek giveaway they were running right after San Diego Comic-Con. Well, Fwoosh’s Gleek Week may be over, but that doesn’t mean you’re stuck with Ebay or trading a kidney to get a SDCC exclusive DC Universe Classics Gleek. We’ve got a few here to give away too – when VeeBee wasn’t looking, I ran off with three of Fwoosh’s Gleeks. True story.

Mattel has updated its Facebook page with its San Diego Comic-Con presentations – DC Power Partnership Panel – SDCC 09 and Mattypalooza Fan Panel – SDCC 2009. I’ve included some excerpts for DC Universe Classics, Masters of the Universe Classics, and Ghostbusters. The panels were great – folks were pretty excited about all the reveals.
