Since the MattyCollector sale for June falls on June 17, a Monday, Early Access for subscribers opens tomorrow, June 13, instead of over the weekend. Seems like a light month, even for early access – but I wonder if the chase figure will appear again. Regardless be sure to enter our Free Stuff Giveaway for the Masters of the Universe Classics Spirit of Hordak.
Early Access is open from 8AM PST on Thursday through 8AM PST on Friday.
Our June monthly sale is coming up and here’s everything you need to know!
Early Access:Thurs 6/13 at 8am PT thru Fri 6/14 at 8am PT
Products Available: Flying Stands 2.0, MOTUC Man-at-Arms® and MOTUC Spikor™ (subject to Early Access sellout)
These DC Universe Classics 2-Packs were originally retailer exclusives, but priced like this are like getting two figures for the price of one. Great fodder to build out your Green Lantern / Rainbow Lantern Corps or just for blank base bodies. And while Batman and Azrael might be a bit more specific, at the price, you might want to get the two-pack just for the redeco of Azrael. All these are Amazon Prime eligible.
Mattel has posted some more details about their upcoming Flying Stands 2.0, which will be available during MattyCollector’s June sale. Like their original flight stands, they’ll come with 3 different sizes of clips, to accommodate Masters of the Universe Classics, DC Universe Classics, Ghostbusters, and more.
The new flight stands have a couple of upgrades – in addition to a hinge in the arm (akin to what was there in the first version), the clip itself will swivel, and the arm can be telescoped to allow for different heights. There will also be peg holes where you can attach the clips that aren’t in use. While it may seem ungainly, I know with the original flight stands, the extra clips are in some drawer somewhere and will probably never resurface.
One other difference – the new price is $15, compared to $12 for the old ones. Not clear at this point is how many stands will come with a single order. It used to be three. That will make a big difference with the value of the new stands. What are your thoughts?
I usually post Border Patrol on Tuesdays, but am a little behind schedule. Luckily, the auctions I had spotted are still available – this week I found a trio of customs that range from life-size to 1/12 scale.
My dad celebrated a birthday recently – Happy Birthday, Dad! I was happy to spend the day with him and Mom, and that got me in a giving mood. A couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to be able to chase down a Masters of the Universe Classics Spirit of Hordak figure on MattyCollector.com – instead of keeping him, I’ve decided to put him up for grabs in a special AFP Free Stuff giveaway.
It’s easy to enter, so while there can only be one winner of this contest, I hope that a shot at a free Spirit of Hordak will give you some cheer. Please help spread the word!
