DC Universe Classics Christopher Reeves Superman by matthancock – I think this custom bears a reasonably close likeness to Christopher Reeves – in addition to the head sculpt, there’s some nice added details like the collar line for the costume and some not quite washboard abs to differentiate it from a standard DCUC Supes – ends Jun 25, 2013 18:21:09 PDT
In AFP’s Border Patrol, we scour active eBay auctions for customized action figures that you won’t want to let slip by!
Mattel has posted packaged shots of the upcoming Masters of the Universe Classics Clamp Champ. I’m somewhat surprised that, like Fang Man, there will be no additional figures available for “day of” sales. So folks who didn’t subscribe to Club Eternia are left to the aftermarket. You can find some listings for Clamp Champ on eBay and some may pop up at BBTS even though pre-orders are sold out.
Clamp Champ will clamp ya!
Hey Matty and MOTUC fans!
Just got in final package samples of July’s Clamp Champ figure! Note that while this is a monthly figure, like Fang Man, Clamp Champ here will not have any “day of” stock for 2013. So the only way to get him in July is if you are a subscriber! (hey, Club Eternia has its benifits!)
We are all so pumped for SDCC right around the corner, but until then, here is a new packaged shot and bio to feed your MOTUC needs!
See you in San Diego!
Matty
PS: Don’t forget the 2014 Club Eternia subscription is on sale now! More details at SDCC at our fan panel at 11:00 on Friday July 19th in rooom 25ABC.

When Mattel announced the DC Universe Man of Steel Movie Masters 2-pack, they just had a single picture of the front of the package. Now they’ve provided additional (albeit small) images that show the back of the package, how the diorama is set up inside and out of the packaging, and a shot simulating how the heat vision will be realized. I’m a little suspect on the last part – I imagine this will be achieved with a small red LED aimed at Superman’s face, but I doubt the lighting can be so specific as it’s shown.
I thought maybe there’d be some battle damage to distinguish the figures from their retail counterparts, but the only differences I saw are that Superman will come with an “angry” head sculpt and a fabric cape instead of a plastic one. This 2-pack will be $50 at San Diego Comic-Con, and will be available on MattyCollector.com on August 5th.
