Mattel dropped off a couple of new action figure images featuring a Blue Wildcat variant, the packaging for the upcoming JLU SDCC Green Lantern exclusives, and the packaging for the Anti-Monitor that the rest of us who aren’t going to get the giant figure can expect to see in stores.

It’s not often we review action figures on this site (we really need to do more of ‘em), but when a company sends us one for possible review, we’ll go ahead and give it workout. Shocker Toys has had its Indie Spotlight series out for a while, and its Maxx series includes the SCUD: The Disposable Assassin Sol variant figure. Since it is in our hands, and out of the protective packaging, it’s up for review today.
Shocker Toys sent Major Spoilers one of the figures from its Indie Spotlight Comic Book Heroes Series 1 figure (look for review soon), and they are already cranking out the Series 2 figures that features the Tick, Dick Tracy, Jack Staff and more. The figures are well made, and if you are looking for an indie hero to fight alongside your DC or Marvel figures, then you might want to check out Shocker Toys. The Tick Jack Staff Ignacia Dick Tracy (& Trench Coat w/Tommy Gun Variant) King Zombie (& King Zombie Variant) All Series 2 figures are packed with…
Via a variety of different sources bouncing bits of information from one site to another, it looks like April O’Neil will be the first non-mutant ninja turtle in the NECA TMNT line. No word on price, but the two mousers should give reason for fans to pick up the rest of the TMNT figures to help save the damsel in distress. via Peter Laird
No, that’s not some eye chart test, but rather a reminder that the Justice League Unlimited Legion of Super-Heroes 4-pack will be on sale May 15, 2009 up on the Matty Collector website. Interestingly, my summer officially starts on May 15, which means I’ll be getting my summer started right with these figures. via Matty Collector
Mattel has announced the sold out Mer-Man figures, part of the new Masters of the Universe collection, will be back in stock on April 29th, beginning at 12:00 PM Eastern. The first run of the figures sold out, so fans who are building up their new action figure collection will want to cue up early. If this second shipment also sells out fast, we will look at increasing orders again until we can get the numbers just right for MOTU figures. It is a learning process, and we appreciate fan’s understanding as we move forward with each sale getting closer…
This year at the San Diego Comic-Con, Dark Horse Comics is giving attendees a chance to snatch up an exclusive Domo “Qee” transparent variant. The only place to get your hands on the NHK television mascot is to attend the convention (or just wait until it appears on eBay the week after). The Domo Qee program, to be launched nationwide in August, is Dark Horse’s first try at the popular “blind box†or “mystery box†format. Individual figures are packed in small boxes; the only way to know which particular figure is inside a particular box is to purchase and…
Maybe it is the paranoia finally getting to me, but it seems the publishers are starting to figure out this whole web promotion thing, and instead of relying on the indie web sites (like this one), the comic publishers are starting to do their own thing. DC launched its own blog site releasing DC news befor anyone else, and now Marvel is getting into the action figure arena with Geek-lactus. What is Geek-lactus? It’s a monthly video series hosted by Jasse Falcon, where he talks all about new Marvel merchandise. On the plus side, Marvel is making these videos embeddable,…
The Masters of the Universe re-mastered collection of figures from Mattel have been selling really well since being introduced by the toy company. Several of those figures have been limited edition figures sold exclusively through Mattel’s MattyCollector.com website (that is until eBay sellers get on the bandwagon). April 15th saw the release of Mer-Man, and even though Mattel has sold numerous figures through the website, the online shopping cart ended up being fraught with trouble causing many carts to remain empty, and before long international buyers couldn’t get their hands on the MOTU fish man. The good news is Mattel…
According to a post up on the Matty Collector Facebook page, the anticipated Alex Luthor/Ultraman action figure two-pack has been bumped to June 15, 2009. On the plus side, the Legion of Super-Heroes 4 Pack arrives May 15, 2009.

Hot dang! Saw these today over at the Matty Collector FaceBook page, and I’m burning with jealousy over the exclusive figures Mattel will feature at San Diego Comic Con 2009. Granted, today is April 1, 2009, but we’ve seen some of these figures already appear during the New York Comic Con, so it’s a safe bet at least most of these figures are legit.
