News – Hot Toys Unveils Agent Phil Coulson Action Figure
Clark Gregg quickly became a fan favorite character ever since his first appearance in the Marvel Cinematic universe as Agent Phil Coulson of S.H.I.E.L.D.. Coulson has appeared in both Iron Man films, Thor and The Avengers. He’s also set to appear in the upcoming television series for ABC, Marvel’s S.H.I.E.L.D. which is reported to take place before the events of the Avengers.
Earlier this year, Hot Toys gave us a sneak peek at their Coulson figure, but now we get a full fledged reveal! Clark Gregg himself tweeted the images of the figure himself. The figure is set to come with the Captain America trading cards, the Destroyer gun, a pistol, a cell phone, a walkie talkie, a S.H.I.E.L.D. dossier, removable sunglasses, and an extra set of hands, this is definitely a figure that Marvel fans won’t want to miss out on.
No official word from Hot Toys about the price or release date yet.

Ask Mattel – Answers for November 15th, 2012
Thomas asks: Toyguru spoke of a EU distribution center after SDCC this year. What is the chances it will be up and running by the end of next year in time for Castle Grayskull, as this will make a massive difference to EU customers considering the pre-order.
At this time, no plans, We simply do not have enough customers in any one area in the EU to justify this logistically.
Mike asks: Will DHL be offered as a shipping method for Castle Grayskull? Even if it is added later, could we pick it via the new ‘sub page’?

News – Just Three Days Left to Pre-Order Castle Grayskull!
In case you still haven’t had a chance to yet, you only have three days left to pre-order the Masters of the Universe Classics Castle Grayskull playset! This is sure to be the greatest MOTUC item ever produced, and if you’re a Masters of the Universe fan, then you should definitely consider getting this. It costs absolutely no money to pre-order it. You’re charged nothing until next December when it ships, and it will become the coolest centerpiece in your entire MOTUC collection. The deadline for the pre-order minimum is November 12th, so don’t wait! If the minimum isn’t met by then, the castle will not get made at all. And if that wasn’t enough, Mattel is including a free incentive for those who pre-order:
As if the fact it’s Castle Grayskull® isn’t enough, we’re sweetening the offer with a deal even Skeletor® couldn’t resist… if we meet the 11/12/12 minimum production goal date and production moves forward, every pre-order placed between 10/16/12 and 1/3/13 will include a first-ever exclusive Masters of the Universe® Classics cross-sell poster!
Featuring all MOTUC figures released at the time of production and printed in beautiful full-color, this illustrative poster will be consistent in size to the Preternia™ and Sub-ternia™ maps created for Club Eternia® (approximately 30”w x 20”h). You’ll want two of them – one to frame and the other to track your collection! Although some sets will be available at MattyCollector.com after pre-orders are filled, the price will be higher and they will not include this authentic collector must-have poster. The only way to get both Castle Grayskull® and the poster guaranteed is to order during the pre-order period, so don’t wait. (And if you’ve already pre-ordered, yes, you’ll get the poster, too.)
