At some point late tonight or tomorrow, Casimir at Raving Toy Maniac is going to publish the final day of CustomCon 25, and my meager entry, called Dangerous Deities, will get posted. I promised Casimir that I would have this recipe page up by the time that came around, but since I’m not quite sure when he’ll push the button, this is going up at Midnight CST.
Here’s the latest Ask Matty Q&A. Thanks to Toy Guru and Mattel!
1. With Guy Gardner coming soon in the Green Lantern 5-pack, it dawned on me – we’re pretty darned close to having the core team members from the JLI. I won’t ask about our favorite Oreo-craving Martian, but will it be more difficult to get Fire and Ice in a regular Collect and Connect assortment because they’re female and not that active in today’s comics?

The Mattel WWE team got Toy Fair off to an early start, with WWE Superstar Triple H headlining a collector preview. Neil Friedman, president of Mattel brands, and Donna Goldsmith, COO of the WWE, kicked off the event, highlighting that the partnership between Mattel and WWE is the first time WWE toys would be marketed with both kids and hardcore collectors in mind.
Triple H called the Mattel / WWE tag team a partnership of the “world champion in toys with the world champion in entertainment.” He said that he and his fellow WWE superstars are impressed with the level of detail and articulation in the toys. At one point, the wrestler struggled for the right words to describe his admiration of the toys, calling them “anatomically correct” with a laugh. He then offered to take off his shirt to show that he is indeed “that ripped!”
Now, let’s get into the toys!
