A Dark and Stormy Knight
Over the weekend I picked up the Dark Knight Batman from Mattel’s “Movie Masters” line. For those who don’t know, Mattel has two action figure lines for the movie: a five-inch scale, kid-oriented line and the MM figures, which were sculpted by the Four Horsemen, are about six inches (roughly–see below) tall and feature DCUC-style [...]
The Four Horsemen are taking all of my money
The Four Horsemen will be robbing me blind this year.
So, all the big toy news has come out of the New York Comic Con, and I think it’s safe to say Mattel stole the show.
Ask Mattel > 4/2/08
We’re back with another round of questions for Mattel’s “ToyGuru.” (I tried to think of a particularly nerdy question for Paul to mock, but I kept coming up blank.)
PG: The second wave of DC Universe Classics appeared at Targets across the country several weeks earlier than they arrived at other retailers, including online retailers. Was [...]
ToyFare #129 (May 2008)
Picked up the latest issue of ToyFare this week. In the tradition of all uninspired stand-up comedians, let’s see what’s in the news this month…
Cover: Iron Monger from Hasbro’s Iron Man movie line. I have to admit, he looks totally awesome, though I’m wondering whether those hips are ball jointed. Haven’t seen any of [...]
Poe’s Point > Top Five Most Anticipated Movie Toy Lines of 2008
Yeah, I could write a list of my most anticipated movies this year–and there are quite a few–but to stay more on-topic, I decided to list what I think are the five most anticipated action figure lines based on movies this year among collectors. Note, these aren’t listed in the order I’m anticipating them, but [...]
Wizarduniverse.com 2.0…? 3.0…? New!
Wizarduniverse.com has a long-overdue, spiffy new look.
Rather than going to a specific magazine, you click on the topic–comics, toys, anime and so forth. I’m not sure how effective this will be; without any explicit branding of Wizard, ToyFare and Anime Insider, the site may function as an alternative to buying those magazines for many fans, [...]
Dark Knight photos leaked
Some good photos of the “Movie Masters” 6″ Dark Knight line (sculpted by the Four Horsemen) have leaked (intentionally or not?) to the Web. For now, I’m just going to link to another site that has them, until I’ve got confirmation from the Horsemen or Mattel that it’s okay to post them here.

First pic of the 6″ Dark Knight figures
Toy News International has posted a photo of the Batman figure from the upcoming six-inch line based on The Dark Knight. The line’s sub-title is apparently “Movie Masters,” which presumably means it will cover more than just this one film (and possibly non-Batman films such as Superman Returns and Justice League).
Over on their FANtastic Exclusive [...]
