Mattel Previews the San Diego Comic-Con Exclusive Masters of the Universe Classics Comet Warriors and DC Universe Classics New 52 Shazam – Video

Mattel covers all the burning questions you might have about two of its exclusives for San Diego Comic-Con this year – the Masters of the Universe Classics Comet Brothers, featuring Rokkon and Stonedar, and the DC Universe Classics New 52 Shazam, aka Captain Marvel.

Toy Guru also hits on some that you might not want to know the answers, such as: how do Rokkon and Stonedar poop when in rock form? Answer: convenient butt flap. And: is Captain Marvel’s hood really that big? Answer: yes, but thankfully it’s removable.

Mattel Announces San Diego Comic-Con Exclusive DC Universe Classic TV Series Batusi Batman

It’s actually a re-announcement, for those of you paying attention, since Warner Bros. had introduced the Batusi Batman as part of a licensing launch announcement at Meltdown Comics back near the end of March. Since I wasn’t paying attention back then, the re-announcement suits me just fine. I am curious about the “internal mechanism” of the figure – is this some kind of action feature in the torso? I’ll have to look back at my earlier TV series Batman pics to see if the regular figures have ab articulation. (Yes, they have ab crunches.)

Mattel also introduced a classic TV series Catwoman Barbie and a Hot Wheels A-Team van. Holy nostalgia, Batman!

BATMAN Classic TV Series Batman™ Batusi Batman™

It’s the dance craze that swept the nation! For the first time ever, this Batusi Batman™ figure recreates the iconic dance from the BATMAN Classic TV series! Sculpted with authentic likeness and featuring a fabric cape, this figure has unique articulation and an internal mechanism that allows it to perform the Batusi. The diorama package features vintage-look art from Shag, and a sound feature plays music with a ‘60s vibe to perfectly capture the scene where Batman™ shows off his unique Batusi moves. The package is designed so the Batusi dance moves can be activated without removing the figure.

This product will be available for pre-order at MattyCollector.com on June 4, 2013, to be picked up at San Diego Comic-Con (details to come). It will also be available for purchase at the show, then at MattyCollector.com on August 5, 2013.

Mattel Announces San Diego Comic-Con Exclusive DC Universe Club Infinite Earths New 52 Shazam

I’m not quite sure why Mattel went with the “Club Infinite Earths” moniker for their second DC Universe exclusive for this year’s San Diego Comic-Con (the first being the Man of Steel: Superman vs. General Zod 2-pack). Since Club Infinite Earths is the MattyCollector subscription that is targeted for the more obscure collector-oriented choices, it seems like this New 52 Shazam exclusive would fit better with the DC Unlimited branding that has focused on the New 52 and the Injustice video game more than anything else. Mattel had the copyright issue with the Captain Marvel name when they released his classic comic look in the DC Universe Classics line. I haven’t read any New 52 with Shazam in it – is Shazam his name in the comics now, or is Mattel still towing that copyright line?

The second exclusive announced today was the Hot Wheels Atari Beach Bomb with an old school Asteroids deco. It comes in packaging that looks like an old video game cabinet. I miss the 80’s!

DCU Club Infinite Earths “Shazam!” New 52

Sculpted by the Four Horsemen, this is the first ever figure of the New 52 Billy Batson, the boy turned DC Super Hero known as “Shazam!” Not included with club subscriptions, this figure arrives with a removable hood in Club Infinite Earths die cut packaging with distinctive silver foil. The perfect addition to your DCU collection!

This product will be available for pre-order at MattyCollector.com on June 4, 2013, to be picked up at San Diego Comic-Con (details to come). It will also be available for purchase at the show, then at MattyCollector.com on August 5, 2013.

Mattel Announces San Diego Comic-Con Exclusive DC Universe Man of Steel 2-Pack

During SDCC last year, where we saw an 8-inch Death and a Bruce Wayne to Batman figures, Mattel’s DC team hinted that they would return to figures with more mass appeal for the big show this year. Looks like they are making good with the DC exclusive they announced today – a Superman vs. Zod 2-pack from Man of Steel.

Not much in the way of pics, which will be revealed closer to the show, but I expect that we’ll see some deco variants on the Man of Steel Superman and General Zod figures that were revealed near the start of the year. Maybe some heat vision eyes on Supes? How about some battle damage? Could be anything at this point, but I’m looking forward to it.

Also revealed today, a Hot Wheels Battlestar Galactica Colonial Viper, to accompany the Cylon Raider announced yesterday. Good stuff!

DC Man of Steel™ Movie Masters® Superman™ vs. General Zod Movie Pack

This 2-pack brings to life the super charged battle between two powerful Kryptonians, Superman™ and the General Zod, an exciting diorama set in the city of Metropolis! The package features lights that simulate Superman’s Heat Ray vision, and shows off the Kryptonian’s super strength and flying ability. The diorama is completed with sound effects to help bring the scene to life. Full image will be available on 6/17.

This product will be available for pre-order at MattyCollector.com on June 4, 2013, to be picked up at San Diego Comic-Con (details to come). It will also be available for purchase at the show, then at MattyCollector.com on August 5, 2013.

Mattel Announces San Diego Comic-Con Exclusive Masters of the Universe Classics Rokkon & Stonedar 2-Pack

Mattel has started off their reveals of their SDCC 2013 exclusives with a bang – with fan favorites Rokkon and Stonedar in a Masters of the Universe Classics 2-pack. I think last year’s Vykron appealed to a subset of hardcore MOTU fans, since he and his Space and Tank alternate forms were never actual toy releases or featured in any of the animated shows. The Comet Warriors should have a broader appeal, despite their late appearance in the vintage Masters of the Universe line.

Mattel is revealing two exclusives a day this week (the second is a Hot Wheels Battlestar Galactica Cylon Raider), so I think we may see another MOTUC exclusive before the week is out.
