At the beginning of SDCC, I posted a gallery showing the very cool Major Matt Mason display at the Mattel booth. I had questioned if this was a hint to the new secret toy line Matty was about to announce. Of course, the secret line ended up being a line of action figures based on The Watchmen. So I went back to Mattel to ask about the display.
After talking to Scott “ToyGuru” Neitlich, I found out that this display was really nothing more than a way to pay homage to one of Mattel’s classic toy lines. Scott said they had some extra room, so he wanted to shine the spotlight on a toy line that is one of Mattel’s most famous vintage figure lines.
He did also mention that he was curious to see what the response would be, and see if it gets anyone talking. So who knows, if this causes enough buzz perhaps we may see Mattel’s Man in Space make a comeback!

Mattel had the new Back to the Future II Hoverboard prop replica on display at SDCC. Along with that was also the final 6″ scale Hoverboard that will come exclusively to those who pre-ordered the prop version.
Mattel was also displaying the features of the prop, so stay tuned as I’ll have a video of that up soon!
Also worth noting, Mattel as of yet does not have anything to announce as far as more Back to the Future goes. It doesn’t appear there has been any movement on the 6″ figure line.

Hasbro had a lot of amazing figures on display for their Marvel properties! The 3.75″ Marvel Universe line continues to grow with several new figures.
Fans of the 6″ Marvel Legends will also be happy to see that there are a lot of great characters being added to the line this next year. I for one am very excited for mostly of these, and I’m afraid that after seeing them, I am fully back on board with this line! So goodbye money!

Mattel has an entire section of their booth dedicated to their classic toy line Major Matt Mason!
The impressive display is chock full of vintage action figures, some of which are still in their packaging, all of which are in great shape!
What;s the reason for this display? Is this a hint of what’s to be announced at the Mattypalooza Panel Friday? Maybe the mystery subscription? Or is this nothing more than a celebration of a classic toy line?
One thing is for certain: this is one impressive display! Click through to check out the gallery!
