<\/A>\nAs I mentioned on Friday, you never quite know what to expect from NYCC. This year showed some real promise on Thursday evening. The cases seemed chock full of goodies! I eagerly awaited what Friday would bring…<\/p>\n
![](\"newsimages\/spacer.png\"){kind=spacer}
<\/center> <\/p>\nIt brought Flogg\u2026 and that was about it<\/em>. To be sure, Flogg is an eagerly anticipated MOTU\/NA character, so it\u2019s cool to see him \u2013 and to see how they handled him. He looks great thanks to some smart part reuse and thankfully because they didn\u2019t skimp on the tooling where it was needed. With Extendar as the June figure, Flogg should be expected for July. He includes his classic accessory and, just in case you\u2019re not that into Flogg, he also has the Filmation Power Sword. That\u2019ll Hook \u2018em. <\/p>\n In other NA news (how often do you get to say that?) the annoying fan poll to choose the next NA figure was held at the panel. One, it perturbs me that con attendees (regardless of subscribing or not pick this stuff) and two, well, my complete distaste for these contests is well documented here at IAT. Attendees were asked to choose between Mara, Darius, & Tuskador. It was really a sophie\u2019s choice. Even though I really, really want a Darius, I think I would\u2019ve had to pick Tuskador for sheer toyetic-ness. Either way, Mara won. In this thread at Mattycollector<\/a>, Toy Guru revealed that only 54 people voted in the poll and that Mara beat Tuskador 26 to 25. So to that one guy out there that it all came to, thanks, buddy!! And to Mattel? Stick with polling the subscribers. There’s a lot more than 54 of us. <\/p>\n Check out CoolToyReview for their corverage including this awesome walkthrough<\/a> and this pic of a splayed out Modulok<\/a><\/p>\n DC Comics\/Mattel<\/strong> Meanwhile, Mattel is continuing to invest their time & energy into the Total Heroes line. It\u2019s admittedly a cool line, but I still have no plans to bite. In addition to the retail offerings, Mattycollector will have four quarterly Total Heroes figures \u2013 and those Matty versions are a little awesome\/frustrating! Showing that Mattel does \u201cGet it\u201d these guys will feature alternate heads or tons of accessories. Too bad that would never work for DC Classics, huh? Batman Beyond (w\/ unmasked & old Heart Attack Bruce heads, plus mini-Micron figure), Black Manta (w\/ removable helmet), & John Stewart (w\/ constructs and two alternate Lantern heads) will be three of the four. Check out Toy Ark for Panel Pics<\/a> & CoolToy Review for Booth Pics<\/a>. <\/p>\n I’ve mostly stuck to MOTU\/DC Coverage this week as I was rather busy this weekend (It was my third wedding anniversary – NYCC is important, but you gotta have priorities…). I do have a litany of links to other coverage that I will post without commentary below:<\/p>\n![](\"newsimages\/2013\/nycc\/Flogg01.jpg\")

\nMasters of the Universe<\/strong><\/p>\n![](\"newsimages\/2013\/nycc\/faker.jpg\")
Mattel also had two MOTU teases . In the panel, a Terminator-like, battle damaged Faker head was shown. This was thought to tease a possible upcoming “head pack” (as was discussed at SDCC), but TG has since said that’s still not in development. Really, it could be anything – a chase figure or maybe just an extra accessory similar to the Alcala Skeletor or unmasked Zodak heads. Who knows. <\/p>\n![](\"newsimages\/2013\/nycc\/sword1.jpg\")
Finally, as is the norm, a random accessory appeared in the booth on Sunday, a pink-hilted version of Battle Ground Teela\u2019s sword. Speculation has ranged from it belonging to a Pink Teela Chase Figure to being an extra accessory for Angella (who could presumably headline a POP mini-subscription \u2013 which they kinda need to do at this point, POP is way off track). <\/p>\n
\n![](\"newsimages\/2013\/nycc\/Aquaman01.jpg\")
<\/a>
\nThe panel also had DC news. As expected, Mattel will still attempt to capitalize on their Club Infinite Earths investment by releasing the already announced figures quarterly next year. No sub will be offered, so that\u2019s 4 out of 12 months that Mattycollector has their hooks in this subscriber. The plan is Hook Aquaman\/March, Ice\/June, Superboy\/Sept, & Damian Wayne in December. Containment Suit Doomsday will be offered at SDCC 2014. I\u2019m excited for all of this, except that Superboy has an awful face sculpt and that Doomsday \u201cUnleashed\u201d is nowhere to be seen. The Containment Suit is a cool novelty, but at this point DCUC needs \u201cIconic\u201d in terms of costume selection\u2026 <\/p>\n
