While in California for Power-Con, I had the opportunity to visit my good friends George and Ayleen Gaspar of October Toys, who asked me to be a special guest on Toy Break!
In this episode, we review MOTUC Mekaneck, open some blind bag Predasaurs: DNA fusion figures, and check out the new Weaponeers of Monkaa from Spy Monkey Creations!
It was an absolute blast and an honor to appear on this fantastic show! Make sure to check out the episode, and if you don’t already watch regularly, let this be your introduction! Toy Break is a show you all should be watching!
Special thanks to my friends George and Ayleen once again for having me on!

UPDATE: Confirmation that is was indeed a mistake. From ToyGuru:
“We used the wrong image. It happens. I’ve already asked the team to correct it. Should be removed by the AM. Rattlor does not come with the armor. We couldn’t afford it as noted when we revealed him at SDCC. He has a ton of deco. Every scale was a deco hit!”
ORIGINAL: Uh oh! Looks like MattyCollector.com goofed!
In the listing for the product going on sale October 15th, 2012, Masters of the Universe Classics Rattlor is shown wearing his general armor!
This definitely appears to be a goof, since we already know that Rattlor does not include this armor. Scott “Toyguru” Neitlich did tell us at San Diego Comic Con that the armor had been sculpted, but it was cut from the figure because of cost. He also said they were hoping to release it in a future weapons pak.
But now this picture has shown up on Matty. The problem is that this is sure to confuse some folks, and will certainly bum a lot of folks out seeing something they won’t be getting.
But at least we get to see what the armor looks like! Fingers crossed it’ll show up somewhere down the road.
Mattel has yet to comment on the photo. I’ll be sure to keep you all updated!

Power-Con already has the power of Grayskull and the power of the Eye of Thundera… Now it has Turtle Power! Power-Con’s next show will expand to give fans of TMNT the same treatment Power-Con has given to He-Man, She-Ra and ThunderCats!
“It was only a matter of time before this happened,” said Val Staples, Power-Con Event Director. “Our 2012 year exceeded expectations and we had already been talking for over a year of how we would expand the show. Given how many of us are big TMNT fans, adding the Conabunga element to Power-Con was perfect.”
Stay tuned for more news about how Power-Con is going green!
