Masters of the Universe Classics Mekaneck and Dragon Blaster Skeletor Reveals

If you’ve been wondering why you might want to sign up  for Mattel’s collector email list, here’s a couple of good reasons. In their May 18 and June 6 emails Mattel included the first reveals for their upcoming Masters of the Universe Classics Mekaneck and Dragon Blaster Skeletor figures. Mekaneck is due in October and Skeletor sometime in the 3rd quarter – both will be included in the Club Eternia subscription.

I’m looking forward to future reveals in the Matty emails, but at this point I’m expecting they’ll hold off on any more reveals until San Diego Comic-Con next month.

DC Universe Classics Atrocitus and Metron and Masters of the Universe Classics Horde Prime and Griffin on Sale 6/15

A few Mattel posts tonight – first off, a reminder that this Friday is the sale date for June, with a couple big hitters for DC and Masters. I’m looking forward to getting my Metron (only available with the Club Infinite Earths subscription or in the after-market) to add to my Cosmic Odyssey display. Atrocitus will need some creative posing to make him more imposing.

As far as Masters, the Griffin is awesome, but I’m not sure if I can make room for him or the other sub figures (Horde Prime and Snake Man-At-Arms) this month.

The Voltron Green Lion is also on sale, but I really wonder how many folks are going a la carte for Voltron – probably just the folks who found out about the subscription after pre-orders had closed out.

Here’s the link for the bundle page for the 6/15 sale, for your convenience. Happy shopping!

Mattel San Diego Comic-Con 2012 Exclusive Pre-Orders Starting May 30

MattyCollector.com has opened up pre-orders for the Mattel San Diego Comic-Con 2012 exclusives. As I previously discussed, I think this year’s exclusives, including the Masters of the Universe Classics Vykron, are a little off the mark – I’m probably going to leave it up to my show floor impulses to decide if I’ll pick anything up.

One new item that wasn’t covered in the initial reveals is the The Dark Knight Rises Movie Masters Figure, which features Bruce Wayne with a Batman suit. The figure itself looks to be a standard DC Universe Classics buck, and the suit is a flexible overlay. I imagine it will limit most of the articulation, but as presented in package (the armory of the Batcave) it looks pretty cool.

Last Day – Fwoosh 10 – Young Justice and Avengers Giveaways

Be sure to enter for your chance to win one of the Fwoosh 10th Anniversary giveaways – a Young Justice prize pack from Mattel or a Avengers Vault Promo Box from Hasbro. (The Marvel Universe Thor is just there for size comparison – he’s not part of the Vault promo box.) You’ve got the rest of Friday, May 4 to enter.

Good luck to all!

DC Universe Classics Crime Syndicate of America Johnny Quick and Power Ring Customs by Ibentmyman-thing

DC Universe Classics Crime Syndicate of America (1280x960).jpg

When the Wal-Mart exclusive DC Universe Classics Crime Syndicate 5-pack was released, I knew I would have to complete at least one of the teams with customs. Mattel’s decision to split the set up with both modern and classic versions of the evil Justice League analogues left me with three members of each team. On the classic front, I had Ultraman (from the MattyCollector DCUC Battle for Earth 3 2-pack), Johnny Quick, and Power Ring. For modern, I had Ultraman, Super Woman, and Owlman.

Ibentmyman-thing had already made a custom of the classic Owlman, so I asked him if he would make modern versions of Johnny Quick and Power Ring.
