Scott “ToyGuru” Neitlich informed me the other day that Mattel has not yet received PR samples of Snake Man-at-Arms and the Griffin, both of which go on sale this Friday. Since Mattel did not receive them, they of course could not send anything out for review before the sale.
In an effort to make sure fans still got a chance to see the figures before they go on sale, Scott did put together this quick video where he shows off the early figures they have at the Mattel offices.

SO MUCH WANT!!
Just look at him in all his glory! If you’ve been following me online for a while, then it’s no secret that I’m quite a big fan of The Legend of Zelda series. In fact, one of the very first toy videos I ever made was about Legend of Zelda action figures.
This new Figma Link figure looks like it may very well be the Link figure I have always dreamed of. Good Smile posted details and images showing off the amazing detail, poseability, and interchangeable parts that will make this the ultimate Link for your collection!
I’m not usually one who imports figures from Japan, but I have long dreamed of owning amazingly detailed and articulated action figures of my favorite classic video game characters. Between the D-Arts Mega Man X from Bandai Japan, the Figma Samus Aran and now this Link, I am well on my way to finally achieving this dream.

By now you’ve probably already seen the video I did on the incredibly awesome custom action figure of yours truly created by Hunter Knight Customs.
Now, Hunter Knight has put together his own “Work in Progress” video to show you how he created this handsome action figure!
Check out the video after the jump!

The torture continues!
Mattel just sent along the 4th image teaser for the upcoming Masters of the Universe Classics Mosquitor figure!
This is a pretty good one, showing off the figure’s left arm! We can see Mosquitor’s short, brown gloves. Also, it looks like he’s utilizing the “monster” forearms as seen on figures like Whiplash and Kobra Khan. That’s an interesting and clever way to accomplish his forearms without a newly tooled piece. The vintage figure have similar “fins” on his forearms, just not quite the same as this.
I’m getting more and more excited to see the final figure!

Mattel once again rewarded subscribers by sending them an e-mail revealing the next Quarterly Variant in the Masters of the Universe Classics toy line. I don’t think there’s really any need to keep it a secret, since it no doubt hit the web the second people started getting the e-mails, so there he is…Dragon Blaster Skeletor!
We’ve known for a week or so that this reveal would be coming soon, and many have been speculating that this would indeed be a Skeletor variant. Many rumors were pointing to either New Adventures Skeletor or Dragon Blaster Skeletor, the latter of which turned out to be correct.
He makes total sense for 2012. We already received Thunder Punch He-Man this year, and in the vintage line Dragon Blaster Skeletor was released alongside him. Also, this is a very heavily dragon themed year with Draego-Man already released and Granamyr coming later in the year. It’s kind of cool to add this version of Skelly to that group.
I think he looks great, and I’m excited to check him out in person. How about the rest of you? What do you think?
