I get tired of picking on Mattel so much. There are a lot of toy companies out there, and I’m sure they are doing a lot of things wrong. But, I don’t hear about the mistakes they are making every week. Their spokesperson doesn’t personally post on a message board designed by the company. This is why I talk so much about Mattel. I have a weekly deadline to meet, and Toy Guru makes my job easier.
So, today I’m pretty much talking to Toy Guru directly here, but the rest of you get the benefit of getting to read it too. (More…) By NoisyDvL5, on March 8th, 2010 | 25 commentsI like to do these DCUC reviews in groups of two because it lets me get them on the schedule a little quicker. Usually, I try to group the figures in sensible duos just because it makes them easier to write about, Darkseid and Desaad, for example. But it’s not always easy to do that. For this review, I’m left with pairing Iron up with Mary Marvel. There’s no obvious connection here, save one. This review contains the best and worst figures from DCUC12.  You probably knew instantly know which one was which, so I won’t tease you. I was happy to hear Iron listed on the early lists, I was excited to see the first images, and I’m blown away by the figure in person. Mary Marvel is a different story. I definitely wanted her in my collection, and I don’t think she’s a terrible figure, but the figures has a couple issues. (More…) By NoisyDvL5, on March 6th, 2010 | 3 comments

Trap Jaw and Battle Cat weren’t the only things to sell out on Mattel’s last D-Day. Even though it took a couple more hours than the other two, the MOTU “Castle Grayskull Diorama & Stands” also sold out. I imagine most people were thinking the same thing I was, “Battle Cat is a little expensive, so I might wait until next time to get those stands.” Well, at the last minute I caved and added a set to my cart, and I guess I’m glad I did so. Because if you decided to wait, you are probably a little annoyed at the recent comment by Toy Guru.
I’m not really sure what those quotation marks around the word possibly mean. But even ignoring that, this is probably the dumbest statement anyone from Mattel has given at least in the last month. So here’s our review of these MOTU stands. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to do one at first, they are just stands after all. But after that statement, I felt like I should be showing people what they are getting screwed out of because of Mattel’s short sightedness.  I can tell you right now, I’m not the biggest fan of action figure stands. I’m of the crowd that thinks my toys should be able to stand on their own. But, even so, I’m willing to admit when a stand goes above and beyond. I should have known these would be good, they are from the 4 Horsemen after all. In fact, the best thing about these stands is that they don’t even have to be stands. (More…) By NoisyDvL5, on March 3rd, 2010 | 8 comments By NoisyDvL5, on March 2nd, 2010 | 14 comments

By NoisyDvL5, on March 2nd, 2010 | 25 commentsSomewhere in the Mattel offices last fall, the folks in charge looked at their 2010 Club Eternia Subscription numbers and were impressed. So much so, that according to Mattel (via ActionFigurePics.Com), they decided that a “small amount” over the subscription would be sufficient for ‘day of’ sales. To put that in Britney Spears terms, “oops”. Fans were already aware of the limited production amount available on Feb 16th thanks to Adora, but that’s not to say that we were prepared.  Even with a handful of website glitches, the “small amount” of Trap Jaw blew out in 19 minutes with the full run of Battle Cat selling out minutes later. That left many fans without Battle Cat and many non-subscribers without anything. What did they miss? Sadly, they missed one of the most well-done members of Skeletor’s crew yet. (More…) |
