Normally, I gobble up DC Classics releases as soon as possible. I like DC and I'll buy figures of just about anybody. Add that to the fact that I've only seen some figures once or twice, and I've learned to buy 'em when I see 'em. But this 2pk? I left it at TRU plenty of times. It just didn't seem worth it.
Mattel posted a new packaged picture on Facebook today. This time a shot of Sy-Klone in package. He looks pretty good in there and I'm particularly happy that Mattel was able to keep the classic lenticular chest and still retain the ab crunch. Plus, we also get our first look at Sy-Klone's bio.
I want new characters in MOTU Classics. I want Stinkor, Frosta, & Flipshot too - but I really want to see MOTU Classics expand with a few new guys in the mix too (Horde Mummy, please). Mattel comes closest to fulfilling that desire with the January Club Eternia figure: Vikor - He-Man of the North!
We're closing out our Green Lantern Classics reviews with a look at the wave's armybuilder, the Manhunter. I have no love for the concept of the Manhunters, the figure's rather bland, and you're probably going to be wondering why I actually bought two Manhunters by the end of the review.
We're still making our way through Green Lantern Classics reviews and today we're looking at the two Black Lanterns from the first wave: Black Hand & Abin Sur. Well, it's not really a figure of Abin Sur, but I have to call him that in the title so folks can find the review. Don't worry, I'll explain it all after the jump.
ToyFare #163 (on-sale today) has images of the newest MOTU Classics figures: She-Ra's adversary Catra and a Hal Jordan vs. Zodac 2pk for Toys R Us. Along with these reveals, Mattel has given collectors an online image of Catra from behind as well as the full schedule (chock full of reissues) up through May 2011.
difficult to be surprised by toy aisle finds anymore. Back in the day, you could wander into the toy aisle never knowing what might be there. I miss those days, so, with that in mind, I bring you my latest aisle discovery: Batman: The Brave and the Bold: Total Armor: Kickpuncher The Joker. (Yes, that's his actual name.)
