Ever since TRU went under, Mega Construx are so hard to find now! Walmart and Target only has limited stocks. At least that's true for my area.

Looks like the only Jurassic Park stuff on display was some expanded Jurassic World dinos. No signs of anything new for the 6" Amber Collection. Are we to take it that that line is already dead after its initial wave of Goldblum, Pratt, and the raptors? Then again, is this line still considered an exclusive? It was initially sold only at Gamestop, then opened up to other online outlets like BBTS and EE recently. So would Mattel choose not to show it at Toy Fair since its an exclusive not sold at mass retail? That's been the case in the past for exclusives, and yet other companies like Hasbro went ahead and revealed store exclusives at this show. I guess we'll see if anything is shown at SDCC. I'm really hoping they do Grant and Ellie too.

I did not see the Jurassic park/world figures. Where are you seeing them?

Oh I'll take all the MOTU Mattel is willing to make! Especially since I will be giving little to no money to Hasbro now that Marvel Legends are officially X-Men Legends with a few Spider-Man and Iron Man here and there.

Well, looks like it be another year in which Mattel deprives me of an Elite Val Venis figure...
Was there any Hot Wheels Star Wars stuff on display, cars or ships? |

Huh, this still exists? I thought it went under like Kre-O. Nothing lasts long against Lego.
I never noticed Halo had "UNSC" on their vehicles. What does that stand for, United Star Command? Figures they would just make them have their own space-UN. Always found that universe cliche- all these alien races and the humans are still not trying to ally with them like the Federation. But then, I also only recently realized that despite it being a Microsoft made XBOX only game, its story was still written in Japan and boy it shows. Explains the whole Covenant theocracy thing too... boy Japan just can't seems to resist to put eeeeevil religion in every game. Last edited by BB Shockwave; 02-24-2020 at 11:39 PM.. |

Mega has held the Halo license for 11 years now. Last year was their 10th Anniversary. 2. UNSC stands for United Nations Space Command. 3. Japan has never been involved with the development of Halo, let alone the story, so I have no idea where you got that from. 4. Visit Halopedia for more detailed info.

Can you verify if that's it for Top Gun? Mattel said multiple categories and we just see one. They also explicitly said role play and there is none either.

Only 3 "Legends" figures? That blows. Yes, please give me more John Cena figures ... ugh!
I do like that "Legends" packaging though. |

Sure, if you ignore the lack of ab crunches and double jointed elbows and knees. It just goes to show that Mattel has no idea what to do. They still haven't even done a full 2002 design roster in the Classics line.

Mattel definitely makes really cool 3.75 inch toys for Jurassic World. Too bad we didn't see any 3.75 toys for the Top Gun Sequel,

I remember when hasbro gave up dc, and Mattel picked it up. I thought, wow Barbie and hot wheels guys are making action figures now. I did not collect the motu myp series and my last Mattel figure purchase was masters of the universe in 1987. Mattel then expanded to all of the dc universe, then came Matty collector and boom. Masters of the universe classics, thundercats, voltron, ghostbusters ,wresting, dc comics, dc movies, dc cartoons. Now.....crickets. Wrestling looks less exciting to many long time fans, now with new companies offering other wrestling clubs. Jurassic park is great but, now that we have Hammond and the brachiosaurus the line seems more complete. Top gun looks like a wasted license, man the 3.75 joe fans would have ate up that scale in top gun for figures and planes. The masters origins line seems to be turning off a few more people every day. Maybe it’s the fact we have been hearing about this for a year, the fact Mattel made super7 stop production of classics or maybe 40 year old designs are not what a major segment of collectors want. It’s to bad because together they look cool. But I have real doubts about how excited retail really is to have motu back.
Fact is Mattel is going back to Barbie and hot wheels. Being known for action figures will be a bedtime story we tell our children. Maybe, someday they will make a comeback. But at this point, now that we have seen Mattel’s toy fair offerings. Most opinions seem to be, who cares. Last edited by Comedian; 02-25-2020 at 10:06 AM.. |

Isn't the new MOTU Origins line going to be sold in retail stores, compared to the Classics line? If so, I don't understand why Mattel couldn't have let Super 7 continue the Classics line as an online preorder based system since it wouldn't have conflicted/competed with their new Origins line at retail. That was the arrangement NECA initially had wiht Playmates with the TMNT figures. Seems real selfish of Mattel, considering many collectors are still wanting more MOTU Classics figures.
I'm definitely among those who views the new Origins line as being a huge step backwards in sculpting/articulation/scale compared to what they were doing with the Classics line and have no desire to start over again with a new MOTU line that looks inferior to the line I was already collecting for the last 10 years.

I said this in another thread, but I'm really not sure why there was such an expectation for 3.75 inch Top Gun figures. Am I missing something here? Even when the first movie was a big deal, there weren't action figures, were there?
The way I saw some folks acting on Hisstank and other forums, they were thinking this was gonna be the glorious second coming of 3.75 inch G.I. Joe, and I just don't get it. |
