In a universe full of Super Soldiers, gods, mutants, monsters, robots, and just about everything else you can imagine, there is one organization that we can rely upon to keep tabs on all the madness and keep everything, and everyone, in line. That’s the Strategic Hazard Intervention Espionage Division, more commonly known as S.H.I.E.L.D. And for the longest time, one man has been at the center of it all: Nicholas Fury. Nick has been many things during his lifetime: an amateur boxer, a WWII hero, a CIA agent, and a super spy. His most notable job was the head of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Wondercon 2011, taking place this weekend, April 1st through 3rd, is one stop on MattyCollector’s Collector Appreciation Tour. To honor the event Mattel had several new items on display we have never seen. First up, a poortly mocked up version of what will become the back of Catra’s packaging.

The big news, though, was Hurricane Hordak and Leech. Leech will be a new monthly Club Eternia release, while Hordak will be the major variant for the 3rd quarter.

ShoutFactory has announced that they are putting together a DVD set for the 80’s animated television series, M.A.S.K.. The set will feature 65 of the 75 episodes. The last 10 episodes are actually owned by a different rights holder and Shout Factory has not been able to acquire those rights yet. Some may remember those last 10 episodes featured a longer overall story arc of M.A.S.K. pit against V.E.N.O.M. in a really big race. M.A.S.K. also boasted one of the most awesome intros of any animated series ever. See below.
