NYCC 2013: Mattypalooza Booth Updates

Our video update of the Mattypalooza panel at New York Comic-Con is coming up. In the meantime, here’s some quick pics of Mattel’s booth after the panel.

The DC Universe Classics sub lives – kind of. Doomsday is an SDCC exclusive – kind of. Total Heroes will satisfy fans with Mattycollector offerings – kind of. I’ll try to be a glass half full guy from now on – kind of. For Masters of the Universe Classics, it’s Extendar and Flogg steaming up the display cabinets. Toy Guru is holding firm on the no Unnamed One reveal until he shows up on your doorstep (if you subbed!)

To get you the pics you want as fast as I can, I’m hooking you into my Instagram feed. If you’re on Instagram, follow me at afpron – that’s for AFP Ron, not AF Pron :). Stay tuned for better pictures soon.

NYCC 2013: Mattel DC Comics Multiverse – Batman and Superman Movies Wave

For as long as there’s been Batman and Superman figures, collectors have been asking for figures from the classic Michael Keaton Batman and Christopher Reeve Superman films. After the Nolan-verse Batman and Man of Steel Movie Masters, I know collectors were hoping for the expansion of that line, and were further encouraged by the Batman 1966 Classic TV Series figures.

So you can imagine my surprise when Mattel decided to introduce from the Keaton and Reeve movies, but choose to do it in the DC Comics Multiverse 3.75-inch line. And while I think generally speaking, the figures look decent for ones in the small scale, I struggle to shake off the notion that this is not a friendly move towards collectors who supported the movie and TV figures in the existing 6-inch scale.

NYCC 2013: Mattel Masters of the Universe Classics and More

Consider this a pre-cursor to the main event, since Mattel’s Mattypalooza panel is later this morning. The shots here represent what was revealed up through Power-Con (Scorpia, Blade, and Battle Lion) plus a couple of new things – first, Extendar was teased via his shield at Power-Con, and now we’ve got the full figure, and second, Mattel is adding a MOTU Mini line, styled after the SDCC exclusive two-pack for the Most Powerful Game Alive. What might turn off some of you who started with that 2-pack – the new figures will be slightly smaller. But they do come with parts of a Build-a-Castle-Grayskull.

The Unnamed One is still sitting with a cloth covering him up. Is it time for the big reveal here at NYCC? Think anything else will be shown for 2014?

Border Patrol: Masters of the Universe Classics Despara, Hordak, and Le-O

For this week, here’s a trio of Masters of the Universe-related customs:

Masters of the Universe Classics Despara by Hunter Knight Customs – I haven’t been reading the new He-Man comic book (should I?) so I can’t speak to how this custom matches up to She-Ra’s misguided Despara character, but I find it pretty cool nonetheless – ends Oct 13, 2013 18:55:31 PDT

In AFP’s Border Patrol, we scour active eBay auctions for customized action figures that you won’t want to let slip by!
