San Diego Comic-Con 2011 – Hasbro Marvel Panel Video

One of my favorite reveals in all of Comic-Con happened during the Hasbro Marvel panel today (video below). In wave 2 of the relaunch of Marvel Legends, Hasbro will be making Arnim Zola the Build-a-Figure. While that’s an awesome announcement on its own, it gets better – through running changes, you’ll have the option to build a Red Skull version of Arnim Zola with new parts and an alternate chest insert (shown above).

While I’m waiting for my video of the Hasbro Marvel panel from today’s Comic-Con sessions to process, I thought you might like to see some pictures of the upcoming Build-a-Figure from wave 2 of the Marvel Legends relaunch planned for 2012. I took one look at Arnim Zola here and the first thing that came to mind was: What?! No bicep swivels?!?!

I kid. I KID!

San Diego Comic-Con 2011 – Mattel Masters of the Universe Classics Club Eternia and 30th Anniversary

Mattel announced at their Mattypalooza panel yesterday that Club Eternia would continue and that they’d be adding even more Masters of the Universe Classics figures to the store via the 30th Anniversary figures. So in addition to Bubble Power She-Ra and the Windraider this year, He-Man fans will still have more figures to buy outside of the “all-in” subscription.

I’m pressed for time to get back to the show floor, so here’s the pics!

San Diego Comic-Con 2011 – Mattel DC Universe Classics Wave 20 and Club Infinite Earths

At Mattel’s DC Universe panel yesterday, they announced pretty nonchalantly that wave 20 of DC Universe Classics would be the last at retail and that they are launching (if they meet the pre-sales target) a direct to consumer subscription on MattyCollector.com called Club Infinite Earths. After the initial shock, it became more clear that this was *not* the end of DC Universe Classics, but rather that Mattel was taking advantage of the DCnU reboot at DC Comics to refresh the retail line.

A little more on that with the pics, and we’ll get to even more detail when we talk to the Four Horsemen and the Mattel team before the show closes.

San Diego Comic-Con 2011 – Mattel DC Universe Panel Video

Last week we also asked Matty what they were planning to do for a DC Universe Fan’s Choice poll this year. Matty’s answer:

Right now that is a bit up in the air. With the changes in DC and the emergence of DCnU a lot has changed in our 2012 plans and we are scrambling to catch up!

Ah, that clever Matty! Of course he knew about the vote to pick the new Club Infinite Earths exclusive figure, but had to give us a coy answer to save up the surprise for today’s DC Universe panel at San Diego Comic-Con. We’ve got the video right here.
