Figure Friday - Inside Matty Collector
Posted by David Dearmore, on August 14th, 2009
At first this article was going to be about the DCU Classic series Superman and Brainiac Two-Pack. This is a great figure pack and the DCU Classics series is still my current favorite action figure line and blah, blah, blah. Instead I’d like to write about Mattel’s questionable business practice when it comes to releasing their action figures. Because of their company practice they make it extremely hard to get their product.
Inside Mattel, there is a sub-division called Matty Collector. Through this Matty Collector line...
Figure Friday-DC Direct Ame-Comi
Posted by David Dearmore, on July 31st, 2009
Here’s just a sample from the DC Direct Ame-Comi line up of really well designed vinyl figures! This figure line gives us a twist on the traditional take of the female characters from the DC Universe. It gives them an anime design including the typical gigantic eyes, youthful appearance, and huge boobs that define the genre. They have also changed the costuming to reflect anime styling while at the same time retaining the traditional elements of each heroine’s costume. Several figures have been released so far, including...
Figure Friday - Parademon DCU Classics Series 8
Posted by David Dearmore, on July 10th, 2009
The guys over at Mattel have a huge man-crush on Jack Kirby and that’s OK with me. The Parademon is the sixth figure in the DCU Classics line from the Fourth World. He joins Mr. Miracle, Big Barda, Orion, Lightray, and the truly outstanding collect and connect figure Kalibak from series six. With Mantis confirmed for series nine and Forager rumored for series 10, Mattel seems committed to completing Jack Kirby’s Fourth World.
Package Description:
Of the many warriors serving Darkseid, Lord and absolute master of the planet...
Figure Friday - Superman DCU Classics Series 6
Posted by David Dearmore, on June 5th, 2009
What is rapidly becoming my favorite toy line of all time, the DCU Classics collection, has a glaring weakness. They have yet to get Superman right and they’ve had four tries. This time they gave him a mullet. Really, Mattel and DC? That’s how you want your flagship character to be seen? You guys want to depict him with the worst haircut in the history of western civilization? Good call.
Package Description:
When the menace known as Doomsday came to Earth, it fell to Superman to battle him to a standstill…and the death!...
