After the success of the big Millennium Falcon ’08 there’s been lots of speculation on what would be the next revamped old school Star Wars vehicle. Lots of Star Wars collecting nerds have been praying to the Maker for a larger scaled AT-AT. Well, it looks like it might be one step closer to reality. Here’s what could be a leaked “big reveal” of an enormous AT-AT.
Back in 2007, NECA released a series of highly popular action figures based on the Playstation 2 hit game God of War. Now, with the PS3 more popular than ever (thanks to last year’s price cut–even I have one now) and the highly-anticipated God of War III due out in March, where the hell are the new action figures? Well, I have a theory about that… (more…)
Mattel updated their Facebook page again yesterday. Here are the highlights:
Mossy is already in production. If (and that is an ‘if”) we can effect a change it means some fans will get flocked ears, some no flock. And it will be random. Are you okay with that?
Ugh. Get ready for $100 no-flocked-ears Moss Men on eBay. Still, I have to say that in this instance, I am OK with it–basically because I don’t care enough about Moss Man for it to matter to me whether mine has flocked ears or not, so why deprive others if they really want it? (more…)
On their Facebook page, Mattel has posted pics of the post-clusterflock Moss-Man:
He has much more flocking than I think any of us thought he would after Mattel first revealed the problem and solicited fan advice. I mean, as far as I’m concerned, that figure is fully flocked.
Thing is, he’s really more like Fur Man, am I right? But I guess there is moss that looks like that. As someone who doesn’t really have much invested in Moss Man as a character, I’m fine with this figure, but there seem to be some fans unhappy with this compromise and the amount of flocking, especially on the head(s). I love the monkey-head, though–and the wooden club. But what’s the deal with the (moss) man-purse? What’s in there? I can’t see from the angles of the photos and I’m too lazy to search for the prototype images.
Oh, the update also mentions this (emphasis mine):
Also, for those in the LA area, be sure to head over to Gallery 1988 this Friday night for the Art of MOTU show opening. Not only will this free event feature some of the hottest artists interpreting the world of MOTU, but we will be revealing one of our SDCC MOTUC items at the show! Full details for the show are in the news section on Mattycollector.com!
Our apartment was flooded last week, which is make the updates pretty sporadic for a bit. I won’t be able to review Winston Zeddemore or DCUC Man-Bat until next week at the earliest, along with the Spongebob Squarepants figures I found on clearance at Target that no one ever even told me existed. Thanks, everyone. BTW, I still need most of them, so if you see any aside from Karate Spongebob or Sandy Cheeks, pick ’em up for me and I’ll happily reimburse you for your trouble.
Anyway, to give you something to yak about today, here are some Fwoosh first looks of DCUC 12 and Battle Armor He-Man, as well as a video review of Battle Cat by He-Man.org’s Pixel Dan.
Well the time frame for entering Joes for Tots is now over, but that doesn’t mean that we’re all done with checking out what the sponsors are up to. Today we’re checking out Luke’s Toy Store, the awesome sponsor that donated 9 Mini-Mates gift sets from 24, Back to the Future, and The Spirit. Let’s check ’em out!
