Retro-Action Superman: Up Close


Thanks again to the good people at Mattel and EMCE we have another early look at the Mattel Retro Action DC Super Heroes line, this time it's 8" Superman head sculpt again in the rather fitting "Mugshot" style.

Again I have to applaud the "Challenge of the Superfriends" vibe going on here, this the Superman we grew up with, if he could talk, he'd have Danny Dark's voice.


Superman will be in "Wave One" of the Retro-Action Superheroes this Spring along with Lex Luthor, Green Lantern and Sinestro.

Bring on the Spring!

Today is Green Arrow Day!


Just a friendly reminder that today is the first day that you can order the initial figure from the Mattel "Retro-Action: DC Super Heroes" line (fomerly known as World's Greatest Superheroes). Eight inch Superheroes with real cloth costumes, it's a good day but stop and smell the roses, get your order in at mattycollector.com now, before they sell out!

Retro-Action Green Arrow: Up Close


Another up close shot of the upcoming Retro Action line, this time it's Oliver Queen himself! The Green Arrow!

The original Mego Sculpt has been altered here, it's not a reproduction but a nice alteration of the original. Amazing how the eye paint changes the whole aesthetic.


Green Arrow will be availble December 23rd (that's tomorrow people!) at MattyCollector.com

Many thanks to EMCE and Mattel for this early peek at this line, it was a wonderful present!

Retro-Action Sinestro: Up Close


Thanks to good people at Mattel and EMCE we have another early look at the Mattel Retro Action DC Super Heroes line, this time it's 8" Sinestro head sculpt again in the rather fitting "Mugshot" style.

As with Lex there is a "Challenge of the Superfriends" vibe going on here and it's just one thing about this figure that makes me happy, the other is that the appearance of Sinestro also clears up one of Mego's bigger omissions, an 8" Green Lantern.


Sinestro will also be in "Wave One" of the Retro-Action Superheroes this Spring.

Looking at this thing, it still feels a little surreal at the moment. 2010 will truly be the year of the Mego Scale.

Mattel Delays Green Arrow


But only for a week, this just in from the Matty Collector Facebook Page:

SALE UPDATE! Green Arrow isn't going to arrive at the warehouse in time for the sale tomorrow so he's going to move to our 12/23 sale with Wave 11. All other products are arriving as we speak and will go on sale tomorrow. There might be a day or two delay in shipping as they still need to be sorted out once we receive ...them, but don't worry -- they're coming!
Rats, I made this shiny graphic for tomorrow and everything ... *kicks dirt*

WGSH Becomes Retro-Action!



Great Update on Matty Collector.com today, unveiling the revised card art for the Green Arrow Figure. The big change here is the line's name is no longer "World's Greatest SuperHeroes" but "Retro-Action: DC Super Heroes".



This begs the question, what other things does Mattel have planned under this "Retro-Action" banner? It sounds like 2010 will be truly be the year of the Megohead.


Retro-Action Green Arrow will be available Tuesday December 15th 2009 only at MattyCollector.com
