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.

   

Images of Leech and Hurrican Hordak are from He-Man.Org member, SCB. The other images are from Matty’s very own Facebook page.

Green Lantern stars Ryan Reynolds and comes out June 17, 2011.

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.

Press release after the jump!

Big news! The Powet.tv staff have decided to start a news blog based on a fandom which is dear the hearts of all our readers! Coming soon is the Ponyville Gazette, the definitive My Little Pony news source for all you die hard My Little Pony fans!

Pinkie Pie can't contain her excitement at the thought of a Powet.tv My Little Pony news site!

We’re still working out the details but we’re confident this is something everypony will be happy with! We’re hoping to get this underway in April but at this point we’d be fools to commit to a firm date.

Created by Mara Brock Akil as a spin-off to her previous TV hit Girlfriends, The Game is a show which examines the lives of three members of a fictional football team and their relationships with the women in their lives. It was originally shown on CW, but it was canceled after 3 seasons. It was then picked up by BET, where a strong fan following gave it a new lease on life in the form of a new season, which aired this past January. Now it seems like it’s going to be game time again, as Strata, the makers of the arcade classics Time Killers and Blood Storm, have once again teamed with Incredible Technologies, makers of the arcade version of Street Fighter The Movie (which fans have regarded as the definitive Street Fighter game due to its digital representation of Van Damme), to bring The Game to Xbox 360, Playstation 2, Playstation 3, Wii, Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS, Sony PSP, PC, IPhone OS, Windows Phone 7, and Android in the form of a one-on-one fighter. Just as they have revolutionized arcades back in the 90s, Strata/I.T will no doubt bring The Game home in the only way to do so: with bloody combat, grisly dismemberment attacks, secret characters who are palette swaps of other characters, and a stripper pole in your bedroom.

This weekend is GIJoeCon in Orlando, Florida. The Terrordrome is live tweeting from the Renegades panel and has reported that GI Joe Renegades will indeed end after just one season. This confirms the fears of fans who have been dreading the end of the series after it was announced the show would be going on hiatus after the first season. The show will essentially end before the toys ever make it to store shelves. Most unfortunate for everyone involved. On the bright side, a question asked during the Q&A confirmed that Renegades will have a DVD release.

A new GI Joe animated series will come out in 2012 based on the GI Joe 2 movie.

JoeCon 2011: Renegades Panel – Renegades on hiatus for GI Joe 2. But GI Joe animation will return, didn’t say Renegades will return though.

JoeCon 2011: Renegades Panel – They just keep saying “animation”, not “Renegades”, so probably not returning as Renegades.

JoeCon 2011: Renegades Panel – To add on to previous statement, it is all “industry talk” and Renegades is done after Season 1.

JoeCon 2011: Renegades Panel – Look for a new series based off of GI Joe 2 in 2012.

JoeCon 2011: Renegades Panel – Ok, Renegades is done, but when the “animation” returns, it will look the same, same characters…

JoeCon 2011: Renegades Panel – …but will be more closer to GI Joe 2 in story. So same look, but farther along story than Renegades is now.

Thanks to the Terrordrome for keeping us up to date on this news.
