Happy Catra Day

I nearly forgot that today was a Mattycollector day. Catra’s the only new MOTUC item, although there are reissues of Stratos, Whiplash, and She-Ra. If you don’t have a Whiplash yet, I highly recommend him.

A friend asked me whether to pick up the reissue She-Ra if he didn’t have one, since “She-Ra 2.0” is coming (the retooled She-Ra who will be better able to sit on Swift Wind). Well, the thing to know is that She-Ra 2.0 won’t have the Filmation-style She-Ra head; it will have a tiara-less head with a removable toy-style mask (which will fix on via a clip instead of the giant square hole). Most people consider the Filmation-style head the “true” She-Ra, but it all depends on your preferences. She-Ra 2.0’s head will be removable and interchangeable with the regular She-Ra’s.

Anyway, here’s the link to the all-in-one order page. There’s a lot of Green Lantern stuff on sale this month, too, though I don’t think any of it is exclusive to Mattycollector and apparently Green Man and the Retro-Action Guy Gardner are exclusive to Mattycollector. You know what would have been a good use of Mattycollector? Selling that Green Lantern 5-pack. Or even better, individual figures from that set. Maybe someday.

    It's two days later and some of the Green Lantern Classics figures are still available, quick cancel the line! Oh, wait a sec…

  2. I like that, looks good!

    Just picked up Catra a couple hours ago. Wasn't entirely surprised she'd be available still 18 hours after the sale started but I'm happy to get her like I got She-Ra and Adora. Now BG Teela on the otherhand I probably never see at bloody 3am lol

    She looks like Margo from Apartment 3G.

    @ Vincent:

    Thanks man. I actually saw that today on the 'vault. It's probably for the best since I would have bought a Stratos I don't need simply to justify the shipping cost. I plan on getting Grizzlor next month anyway, so it works out.

    But hey guys, somebody go buy Vincent's Whiplash. He's got it for a great price!

  6. I forgot all about it being Catra day! =)

  7. @ ero:

    I hate to do this, but I'm selling mine right now if you really want a whiplash.

    This just means next month will be expensive:

    Whiplash,

    Grizzlor,

    BG Teela,

    Faceless One

    Which is good, since I want Whiplash and don't care about Catra. Yay for saving on shipping!

    Wow, yeah…Green Man is cool and all, and might have been the only GL Movie figure I picked up. But $35 for him? No way. A 7" figure is not an over-sized figure.

    Release him at retail for $15, like all the others.

    Is anyone else finding it hard to be excited about GLC2? I think I normally fit more on the Matty apologist side of the couch, but besides the critters pack, I just can't seem to work up any real drive to hunt these down. Skallox is way undersized, having to buy G'Hu is insulting, and Star Sapphire / Sodam Yat just seem…meh.

    And I have every single DCUC and DCSH character released prior (minus the lantern 5 pack).
