Mattel WWE Toys R Us Exclusive WrestleMania XXVII Figures in Stores Now

It’s nice to see Mattel’s event exclusive WWE figures extend beyond the basic series, as I’m really only interested in the figures with the Elite style articulation. It’s also pretty cool that Mattel can turn around a series with event-specific decos after only a few months. WrestleMania 27 took place at the start of April.

Kmart Launches WWE Legends Hall of Fame on 8/28

Kmart jumps on board with Mattel’s WWE Legends line with the Hall of Fame assortment, which is essentially Legends Series 1 minus the Road Warriors plus Funk and Snuka from Series 2. Of course, if the packaging is different, then you might have some mint on card collectors out looking for these guys too.

I’ve already picked up all of Series 1 with the exception of Dusty Rhodes (I was never a big fan), and Funk was a little before my time. But Snuka was always entertaining, so I’ll probably still stop by to see if I can pick one up.

AFP Ask Matty Round-Up for 8/17/10

I should know this by now, but Matty can be very strict when it comes to deadlines, even when those deadlines fall on the Sunday the weekend after Comic-Con when we’re still recovering. In other words, we missed the submission deadline for questions this installment – and judging from what I’m seeing for round-up links, so did a few other folks.

Luckily, we had a round of answers from a previous installment that we missed. Unluckily, this was from the weeks leading up to San Diego Comic-Con, so there’s a bit of a time warp effect…

1) The carded pics of DC Universe Classics Wave 14 are a lot of fun – I love Ultra-Humanite’s head peeking out of Hourman’s package, and the placement of stickers that allows that. Quick question on the names you put on the packages – we know you said that the Obsidian name is held by another company now, but we’re still curious why you went with Green Lantern instead of Alan Scott? John Stewart and Katma Tui had their names on the package.

At the end of the day, DC Comics lets us know what name to use on package. Sometimes, like with Obsidian, a name may not be available for a toy (if another company owns the trademark, for example) and we will work with DC on an alternative name.

Mattel San Diego Comic-Con Exclusives on Sale on 8/2

Don’t forget – Monday at Noon EST, Mattel’s exclusives from San Diego Comic-Con go on sale on MattyCollector.com. Here’s the link to the bundled page.

Orko and Plastic Man sold out at the show first, and I imagine some people who got Orko at SDCC will be trying for this version too, because it doesn’t have the semi-translucent appearance that the Con-only color-change version does. Good luck!
