I’m a little late with this today, but do not forget that today is the April MattyCollector day. Evil-Lyn with Screeech, Reissue Hordak, the Ultimate Battlegrounds accessory set, 12″ Peter Venkman and Movie Masters Night-Vision Batman will all be on sale at 12 Noon EST on MattyCollector.com.

Good Hunting!

Since the alphabet is the building block of our language, the Powet Alphabet is the building block of what makes us geeks.

Today is P for the Powers of Grayskull. The Powers of Grayskull was a line proposed in 1987 that would serve as a sort of prequel to MOTU as we had known it. While some of the figures made it to the prototype phase and licensing material was sent out to interested companies, nothing ever materialized as far as a full scale toy line. After the jump we’ll dig a little deeper into what was really planned for the series based on what has been found.

MattyCollector.com has announced that Wave 5 of the popular DC Universe Classics line will be available once again on MattyCollector.com on May 17th. The first release of this wave was a store exclusive to Wal-Mart and subsequently incredibly hard to procure. The wave includes Black Lightning, The Riddler, Eradicator, Amazo and The Atom. Each of these figures comes with a Collect N’ Connect piece that assemble to form Metallo.

I’ll be sure to mention this in the MattyCollector day reminder for that month along with the MOTUC releases. DCU fans, let me introduce you to the Red/White Screen of Death courtesy of Digital River.

Special thanks to forum member Rabban for the tip!

This is your monthly reminder, collectors! On sale today is MOTUC Moss Man. Both versions of Moss Man will be on sale, but I think the version with the flocked ears will be limited in quantity since those were from before the running change to remove the flock from the ears as fans demanded. Reissue Stratos will also be available for sale. MOTUC collectors finally get a fairly light month with just that figure and reissue.

Also on sale will be DCUC Wave 12 as a set. This is the wave with Darksied as the Collect ‘n Connect figure. The Dark Knight Movie Masters Scarecrow is also up for purchase.

One of my favorite toy lines as a kid was M.U.S.C.L.E., which stood for Millions of Unusual Small Creatures Lurking Everywhere! Unfortunately, there was little to no story given to these bizarre two inch figures. One must look to its Japanese origins from the series Kinnikuman (literally ‘muscle man’) to really understand what M.U.S.C.L.E. was all about. That is why today is K for Kinnikuman.

MattyCollector.com curbs your buying habits. Mass Effect 2 curbs your romance options. Are you enthusiastic about the shakeup at DC Entertainment? Is this tease shameless punnery?

And now for something completely different.

PowetToys Collectors Edition is a new spin-off series to the PowetToys reviews. I wanted an educational video series on the industry and collecting as a whole. This is my attempt in this endeavor. Let me know what you think in the comments!
