I revised this post to clarify the information. I realized that I may have inaccurately quote Scott from Roast Gooble Dinner, so I have corrected this.
There has been much discussion over the past week about the announcement that Mattel will be giving away a free Masters of the Universe Classics accessory at this years Power-Con to everyone who attends the show. Thanks to Scott “Toyguru” Neitlich, we learned a few new details on the latest episode of He-Man.org’s Roast Gooble Dinner podcast, which we recorded yesterday and is already online for listening!
Here is a run-down of the details we received:
In regards to the limit of 1000, Power-Con is guaranteeing the first 1000 tickets sold will get this accessory. Mattel has not stated a specific production quantity. We only know there are not many of them. How many are claimed at Power-Con will determine if ANY are left over. We’re sure Mattel will let us know what they will do with them IF any remain.
So, there you go! If you are a completist and can’t live without this exclusive weapon, you may want to make arrangements to either get to Power-Con, or find someone who is willing to pick one up for you (but you still have to purchase a ticket!) Also, Pixel-Dan.com sponsor FantasticPlasticToys.com still has a few pre-orders available for the accessory if you wish to go that route!

Hasbro was all about the oversized exclusives at this 2012 San Diego Comic Con! Upping the ante of one of their already large playsets comes the Marvel Universe Super Hellecarrier!
The Super Hellecarrier adds 12″ in length to the retail version of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Hellecarrier, making the playset measure a massive 4 feet in length! While still not to scale with your 3.75″ Marvel Universe figures, that’s still quite a large playset for this day in age.
Join me for an in-depth look at this large playset to find out how this looks displayed with your Marvel Universe action figures!

Each year at San Diego Comic Con, Hasbro seems to try an up the ante of their Star Wars exclusive. This year continued that trend with the release of the Carbon Freezing Chamber “Lost Line” figure set!
This set includes 6 Star Wars action figures representing each of the movies in the Saga. Each figure comes on an exclusive “chase” cardback featuring some “lost” artwork that Kenner almost used for the vintage toy line. In addition, this set also includes the exclusive Jar Jar Binks frozen in carbonite figure that you can only get with this set!
So sit back, relax, and join me for an exhaustive look at this very cool box set!
