Well, the taunts keep coming. Today I received an e-mail that simply said “Maybe you should chill out…” and had this picture attached:
What, so ToyGuru is Arnie Mr. Freeze now? Poor Mosquitor is completely frozen in a block of ice! Even still, we get to see some new details here. We can see those extra insect appendages high on his back. It also appears that he does not have the blood tanks on his back, unless they are just not plugged in right now. But if he has them, it makes me wonder how they would even fit on his back with those insect legs.
Nice shot of Frosta in the foreground here too. Scott’s obviously playing out some sort of fantasy of his. 😉

Well, ToyGuru has fired back! I just received another image with the words “We’ve only just begun…”
Poor Mosquitor is tied to a grill! Ack! But HEY LOOK….MOSQUITOR’S GUN!

Welcome to Flashback Friday, the newest feature of Pixel-Dan.com!
Flashback Friday is a chance for me to share some of my past videos with everyone again. This will allow newer viewers to see a video they might not have yet seen, and allow the long-time viewers a trip down memory lane! It also serves to show just how much my videos have evolved over the years.
Warning: the quality will not always be very good in these older videos!
Today’s flashback is an overview I did on the bizarre 1988 Mattel toy line known as the Food Fighters. If you have been following me for some time, then it’s no secret that Food Fighters is one of my all-time favorite obscure toy lines. It’s just so weird that it has always appealed to me. It’s a strange concept, but these toys are a lot of fun!

I just got another picture from Scott Neitlich. Now he’s just being mean…

Well, I was wrong when I said that the 5th teaser would be the last one before SDCC. I just opened my mailbox to find an e-mail from ToyGuru with the phrase “You have unleashed more power than you can possibly comprehend…” And attached to that e-mail was this photo:
Ack! Spector killed Mosquitor!
I cracked up when I saw this picture. Very clever way to hide his head and chest. But this is still the most revealing picture of Mosquitor so far! We can practically see his entire body! There are small pieces of his chest poking out as well. It appears to be a completely new buck! There doesn’t seem to be any torso articulation, so there very well may actually be liquid in there! Or, maybe it’s just an armor piece with interchangeable plates like Battle Armor He-Man. I can’t quite tell, but I can say I am more excited than ever!
SDCC can’t get here soon enough!

ToyGuru responded to my costume teaser video I posted this morning by sending me a 5th tiny teaser image for the upcoming Masters of the Universe Mosquitor figure! He really does know how to torture me…
This image appears to be a shot of the figure from the side. This seems to confirm that our assumptions about him having the extra insect appendages are correct, as it looks like that’s what we have stuck to his back there. You can also see what may be a piece of his shoulder pad, which seems to be a light brown like the gloved hand we already saw.
I can imagine this will be the last teaser image that is sent, as the entire figure will finally be revealed on Friday July 13th and the Mattypalooza panel at SDCC! I hope anyone who is going understands that I absolutely will not be able to hold in my excitement when that reveal happens. 🙂

San Diego Comic Con is very quickly approaching! With that, as always, comes a slew of limited addition, pricey, must-have-because-we-can’t-resist exclusive toys! So naturally, that’s the main focus of this week’s Round-Up.
- Not exclusives, but still worth mentioning. Lou Scheimer, founder of Filmation, is making his last convention appearance with a panel at SDCC! I’m really bummed I’m going to miss this, as my flight gets in at the same time this panel starts. Also worth noting, Toy Masters, the documentary about the creation of Mattel’s Masters of the Universe toy line, is screening at SDCC as well. However, I’m going to miss this one as well, as the screening takes place during the He-Man.org Power Party. Unfortunate scheduling, there.
- Speaking of Matty, the MattyPalooza panel is Friday the 13th at noon EST. Mattel will be revealing new figures for next year, including MOTUC Mosquitor! On top of that, they are introducing a brand new subscription line for next year. Any guesses on what it might be? My money is on Back to the Future…but that’s just a guess.
That wraps it up for now! i’m sure there will be more SDCC tidbits as we get closer to the show. If so, I’ll post them here! Stay tuned!
