There should hopefully be a retail driven Mattel panel at some point.

oops, you are right.

Can someone explain to me why MOTU people complain about their sub and still buy the sub? Common sense says if you do not like whats going on do not participate.

Dr Kain · 07-25-2014, 02:32 PM

That 2002 Snake Armor He-Man vs King Hsss pack looks awesome. WHy couldn't they have done that when I was into the line?

Man oh man do I want that King Hssss and Tung Lashor. They look great!

Now I'm not familiar exactly...are these to be available on Matty Collector, or to those who signed up for the subscription service only. I'm hoping I'm not going to have to try to track these guys down at local toy shows and Ebay.

Gwildor was a nice surprise. I wonder if a Lundgren/Langella He-Man and Skeletor are far behind? I hope so. Frank Langella's performance as Skeletor to this day ranks as one of my favorite over the top performances of a comic book/cartoon villain in a live action movie. He was simply brilliant!

I really like the NA She-Ra. I find it interesting that we are getting a "vintage" and "200x" head for He-Man after they had stressed the classics style so much for so long. I'd love to get an extra of each style head.

Ravenxl7 · 07-25-2014, 08:07 PM

Actually searching through the SDCC schedule, I'm either missing it, or there really is no retail Mattel panel...

CMIII · 07-26-2014, 06:41 AM

wow "naked" He-Man is getting ripped apart on facebook. I admit I've attacked Mattel harshly but wow. Looks like that He-Man is their Batzaro.

I don't see anything wrong with the toy. People were asking for OoLar back in 2012, so why is he an issue now? He is a free subscription figure and makes far more sense than Evil Orko.

CMIII · 07-26-2014, 08:48 AM

you got me... I think a lot of people leaped without looking and are disappointed with the out come. Your better off waiting till they announce the figures then buying the sub. Why do you think DC sub failed if Mattel said "here are the 12 and the Exclusive" more people would have jumped on, They do it with MOTU they whine, piss, and moan and for some reason still buy it.

CMIII · 07-26-2014, 12:19 PM

I'll tell you Mattel is sinking faster then the Titanic. One of the biggest issues is they are getting their butts kicked by Hasbro particularly in this division. Transformers and Marvel are selling great compared to Mattel's He-Man and DC items.

They will be on mattycollector. You will not see movie skeletor and he-man figures. Mattel doesn't gave the rights for those. They only have the rights to make new 87 movie figures based off the ones they made back then. That means they can only make blade, gwildor, and saurod.

I don't think they announced a release date yet. Though if I had to guess, I would say late this year or early next year.

Speaking of release dates, does anyone know when this next wave of Multiverse figures is coming out?

JangonateTK421 · 07-28-2014, 08:18 AM

Entertainment Earth has wave 3 with Batman, Scarecrow, Red Hood and Two Face coming in September.

Hope its Origins Batman.

Pack with Catwoman is Spring 2015.

decepticon_mark · 07-28-2014, 03:58 PM

Haven't collected DC in decades but saw the Super Powers figures at Con. When and where are these going to be released? Are they 4 or 6 in. Just needing a little background to see if I wanna dive into these. Thanks.

305Batman · 07-28-2014, 05:05 PM

They are 6 inch and are going to be sold exclusively online at MattyCollector,I believe it's Superman,WW,Batman,Mr. Mxy,Gold Superman and that crazy GL/Riddler thing,each comes with a C&C piece to build SP Kalibak,they are $30 before shipping though.

I'd say that it's a safe bet. If they released another Arkham I'd be very disappointed. The only other logical guess would be Arkham Knight Batman, but we've not seen a regular version, to my knowledge.

check CTR's new pics, they added regular Arkham Knight Batman to the case later on.

Edit: actually it wasn't CTR, I will find it.
Ahh it was a Fwoosh update that had him between Arkham Knight and Scarecrow.

Do share please. Those weird colors make the AK Batman kind of hard to judge. Doubt it'll look better than the AO Batman but I'd still like to give it a fair shot.

Kinda weird, in some pics Origins Batman looks Batman 89's scale, in others he looks the same as City's

snake5289 · 07-28-2014, 06:11 PM

Eh doesn't look terrible but AO Batman indeed looks better.
