Happy Orko Day!
Mattel’s big post-SDCC sale begins today at noon. How fast will Orko and Plastic Man sell out? How about Mo-Larr? Guesses? Here are mine: Orko: less than 10 minutes Plastic Man: 10-15 minutes Mo-Larr: 2-3 hours I’m not as sure about Starro, particularly because I think he loses a lot of his appeal without the [...]
Poe’s Point > On the return of 6″ Marvel Legends
Marvel Legends close 1 by Carls Life At their Marvel SDCC panel, Hasbro said that 6″ Marvel Legends would be returning “in full force” in 2012. I started to wonder why that would be, given how strongly they’ve been pushing Marvel Universe, and I’m wondering if it’s the success of DCUC that has them reconsidering.
SDCC > Rustin Parr’s Report, Day 3
Friday 7/23 What does one do on Day 2 when the vast majority of exclusive figures on their list were acquired on Day 1? Stroll and go to Panels! And pick up the voucher pre-sale stuff from Matty, of course (incredibly painless and easy – Hasbro, et al, should take note and do the same!).

There already seems to be a growing issue, especially in the BASICS line, with characters getting sculpts way too muscular for them. Fans are getting concerned that Mattel will continue the JAKKS trend of utilizing completely incorrect body [...]
Ask Mattel > Answers for July 1 [Updated w/ Roundup]
1.) This may have been answered before, but I’ve never seen the answer so I’d like to ask again: does Mattel have the rights to make MOTUC figures based on the DC Comics 3-issue miniseries from the early ’80s? (For example, the evil sorcerer Damon, who originated in that comic.) Yes. We also have rights [...]
Review > Blue Beetle III – Jaime Reyes (DC Universe Classics)
Making his first appearance in Infinite Crisis #3 in February, 2006, Jaime Reyes has the distinction of being one of the new kids on the block in the DC Universe. Of course he carries with him a long heritage spanning eight decades of Blue Beetle. Jaime Reyes is the third individual to take up the [...]
Toy Aisle Trolls > Gotham City Dive
Toy Aisle Trolls is a feature highlighting acts of vandalism to in-store toy items. If you find a ruined package, a stolen figure, a swapped-out figure, or any other such acts, take a photo (cell phone photos are fine if they’re not blurry) and email them to poe AT poeghostal.com. Also, please note: I’m deliberately [...]
