Never one to disappoint with a display, Mattel had a huge statue of Prince Adam to show since he is this year’s exclusive ‘accessory’ to Orko. The big panel for MOTU is not until Saturday as far as I know. After the panel, I will update this post with any new information that will be revealed and there will be new information revealed.

   

Here’s what we know. Whiplash, Carnivus and Grizzlor are on display. There was a small somewhat blurry picture taken of a card that may or may not have accidentally been put out before anything was announced. It showed 6 characters names we have not previously seen on the slate for release with a release month for each. Those are as follows:
October – Roboto
November – Grizzlor
December – Buzz-Off
January – Bow
February – Vikor
March – King Hsss

Count me as super excited about Roboto and super perplexed by Vikor. Anyone know who he is? Post in the comments with links or info!
Bow is the male character from She-Ra that wasn’t a bad guy. Glad to see that some other series’ are still getting attention, but I’d like to see more.
Also on display was a very nice Silver She-Ra. Similar to the Spirit of King Grayskull figure, it is super limited to a total of two and one will be given away to a lucky attendee via a raffle for charity. On a lighter note, Mattel had some Moss Man deodorant. I’m not sure if that was a freebie or what it was aside from highly amusing.

 

Action Figure Pics had a very nice MOTU gallery here from Preview Night.
Michael Crawford had a nice gallery of closeups on the 3 upcoming displayed figures here.

ToyArk has some good photos of the Ghostbusters display from Mattel. 3 basic things were on display.
The retro-action style figures based on The Real Ghostbusters cartoon.
The 12 inch Movie Masters figures.
The 6 inch Movie Masters figures.

Here’s where its a litte more interesting. The 6 inch figures are actually a 4 pack based on their Ghostbusters 2 uniforms and are scheduled to be released as a Toys R Us exclusive.

Not much more to it than that. There was a decided lack of ghosts as was abundantly evidenced by their diorama display of the 4 characters facing a light wall aiming their proton guns at nothing in particular. We will probably know more after the Mattel panel. Once I get more news, I will update it in this post. For now, check out some of the mirrored images from the ToyArk after the jump.

Here it is. Your monthly MattyCollector Day reminder.

Start taking deep breaths because this month is another perfect storm of releases featuring the much anticipated Masters of the Universe Classics edition of She-Ra, followed by the MOTUC Bonus figure, Keldor and the reissue of the limited release Faker. Not only that, but MattyCollector is experimenting with their JLU offerings. Having considered the 3-packs a failure on the site, they are now offering a larger carded single figure in the form of Lobo. He will be a test to see how single oversized figures fare on sale day with a ridiculous price of $20. Have fun with that JLU collectors. Ghostbusters collectors will have the opportunity to purchase the slimed Peter Venkman figure with Slimer.

And what is sure to be a big hit for the site is the re-release offering of DC Universe Classics wave 5 as a set. This was the extremely difficult to find Wal-Mart exclusive Metallo wave.

Remember to use this handy page when ordering!

And with this video, I prove that I really am out of my mind. After the jump you can see the commercial I parodied in the video. Special thanks to Zac Shipley for help with the music for the parody portion and lending his voice for the chorus!
