Speaking of the New 52 – if 1/12 is your preferred scale, then it’s a good time to build up your DC Universe Classics collection. A while back it was hard to land even some of the mainstays of the New 52, but now Superman, Batman, and more are available at the normal $15.99 price at Amazon.com, qualifying for free shipping for purchases over $25.

Wonder Woman completes the trinity but is being sold by a third party for $19.99. She’s still being fulfilled by Amazon, so the free shipping still applies. Happy shopping!

Marvel Legends Executioner by Stevid – while the Wrecking Crew might be a bit oversized, I hope that when Hasbro finally gets around to making the Executioner that they reuse that body – in the meantime, here’s your chance to add this essential Thor baddie to your collection – ends May 22, 2013 18:30:15 PDT

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

I Am Your Fodder: DC Universe Classics Catwoman, Artemis, and Aqualad

Batman Legacy Catwoman Collector Figure DC Universe Young Justice Artemis Figure DC Universe Young Justice Aqualad Figure

Here’s some deals for DC Universe Classics customizers:

  • Batman Legacy Catwoman Collector Figure – $9.88 – this classic Catwoman from the Batman Legacy line was a highly sought after version of Selina Kyle but ultimately peg-warmed – she’s got a nice blank body, high-heeled boots, skirt, and a cape
  • DC Universe Young Justice 6″ Artemis Figure – $9.28 – the 6-inch Young Justice line tanked at retail – the show getting canceled didn’t help, but the $20+ price point was the clincher – Artemis comes with a mostly blank body with the exception of some buckled boots, but as a deluxe figure she also has a compound bow, quiver, and arrows
  • DC Universe Young Justice 6″ Aqualad Figure – $8.33 – accompanying Artemis is Aqualad from the deluxe Young Justice line, also discounted deeply – another blank body aside from the Aqua-buckle and fins on his calves, he comes with a bunch of translucent water accessories and also has some useful bare feet

I Am Your Fodder highlights action figures that are cheap and would make interesting customizing fodder.

MattyCollector Early Access Open for May Sale – Will Spirit of Hordak Frustrate Fans?

MattyCollector.com May Sale

Toy Guru promised to make Early Access worthwhile to subscribers, and as it opens this morning I wonder if he it’s working out in practice. For one, there have been a couple of last minute changes – sometimes the emails and news updates on the site are inconsistent. Like this month, the email referenced the Masters of the Universe Classics Evil-Lyn, but at the last minute they’ve switched to Stinkor. And, for the most part, Early Access has been limited to older MOTUC figures that long-time collectors already have.

Of course, that changed when the convention exclusive MOTUC Strobo came and went in Early Access in about five minutes, causing lots of subscribers to scream bloody murder. And chances are good that we’re heading for another one of those this morning.

Update: Early Access got a late start. Spirit of Hordak was available for about 5 minutes – sold out now. By the clock on my laptop he was up for grabs from 8:13 – 8:18AM PST. Let us know if you were able to pick one up!

She-Ra Coming This Fall to NBC – Mattel Toys on Retail Shelves Next?

She-Ra on NBC starring Kylie Minogue

With the ABC hit series Once Up Upon a Time becoming a franchise with spin-off Once Upon a Time in Wonderland, it seems that NBC wants in on the resurgent female-oriented fantasy drama. They’ve got big plans for She-Ra, starring Australian pop sensation Kylie Minogue. Hey, she starred as Cammy in the Street Fighter movie with Jean Claude Van Damme, so we know she’s got the chops for the demanding action sequences.

This is what Mattel has been waiting for. How long until we see them get back onto retail shelves with Masters of the Universe Classics?
