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?

NYCC 2013: Hasbro Star Wars Rebels Packaging Reveal

Here’s a quick on from Hasbro for the upcoming Star Wars Rebels toy line, to support the new animated series.

In anticipation of Lucasfilm’s STAR WARS REBELS panel at New York Comic Con (Saturday, October 12, 2013; 2:45 PM 3:45 PM; Location: Empire Stage 1-E), Hasbro unveils the packaging treatment for its STAR WARS REBELS 3.75-inch action figure line supporting the upcoming animated series.

STAR WARS REBELS continues the epic tradition of the legendary Star Wars saga with all-new exciting, action-packed adventures. It is a dark time in the galaxy, as the evil Galactic Empire tightens its grip of power from world to world. As the series begins, Imperial forces have occupied a remote planet, ruling with an iron fist and ruining the lives of its people. But there are a select few who are brave enough to stand up against the endless Stormtroopers and TIE fighters of the Empire: the clever and motley crew of the starship Ghost. Together, this ragtag group will face threatening new villains, have thrilling adventures, and become heroes.

Hasbro’s STAR WARS REBELS line, featuring highly detailed 3.75-inch action figures with multiple points of articulation, is coming to a galaxy near you in 2014.

NYCC 2013: Hasbro Star Wars Black Series Reveals

By the time we arrived at the Hasbro “Night Before” party, any traces of 6-inch Star Wars Black Series figures vaporized. Luckily, Hasbro shared official images of the Episode 3 Anakin Skywalker figure (so angry!) as well as ones for the 3.75-inchers that were there.

Not being a big fan of the Prequels, I was more excited about the Han Solo figure from the Star Wars Black Series wave 2 that was in our goodie bag. Thanks again, Hasbro!
