Review – Poison Ivy – DC Universe Signature Collection, Mattel

DC Signature Collection Club Infinite Earths Poison Ivy 6" Action Figure Mattel Batman

When Mattel first announced the DC: Club Infinite Earths online subscription program, the big incentive to get people to sign up for it was the promise of a DC Universe Classics Poison Ivy action figure.

News – MOTUC Granamyr Packaging Revealed

Masters of the Universe Classics MOTUC Granamyr Dragon In Package Front Rudy Obrero PaintingMattel just revealed boxed pictures of the upcoming MOTUC Granamyr on their Mattycollector Facebook page. The front of the package displays a new painting by long time Masters of the Universe artist Rudy Obrero. The figure will come painted in “Filmation Red”, as per the fan vote back at SDCC 2011. The back of the package features an all new bio for Granamyr. The figure will be disassembled inside the package, no doubt to make the box as small as possible to save on shipping, hence the lack of window display and the need for the awesome painting on the front. Granamyr will be released this December 17th on Mattycollector.com for $80. Check out the full sized packaged images after the jump!
