We just got our grubby little mitts on the DC Universe Green Lantern Wave 2 figures with the Green Lantern Stel Build-a-Figure. I opened up, took some pics, made some funny word bubbles and posted them all for you to see. Click below to see what I thought, and check out all our pics (60!) Plus see how you can win some of the figures!

Toy Fair 2011 is now over. I always enjoy attending. I get to fly to New York, drink with friends, and see all of the toys coming out this year. I now know what to spend my money on. However, I also know what I don’t want to spend my money on. If there is one thing the collective fan media is good at, it’s bitching and moaning. I decided I needed to bitch a little and tell you the Essential Seven Toy Fair 2011 Disappointments:

Looks like we may get Back to the Future toys from MattyCollector.com. According to Global License Mag Universal has made a deal with Mattel to make Back to the Future toys. With the success of the Ghostbuster figures, I can’t wait to see what is to come!
Here is a great comparison between the Canon 7D versus the Mattel Barbie Video Girl.

Masters of the Universe® Mo-Larr vs Skeletor® Figures ($40)
Mo-Larr was featured in the famous (infamous?) episode featured on the DVD release of Robot Chicken Season 2 where he chased down Skeletor® and relieved him of an impacted wisdom tooth, sans numbing agent. Skeletor® features a new head with missing tooth, Havok Staff, Power Sword®, and Half Power Sword®. Mo-Larr, Eternian Dentist, comes with five assorted dental tools, including @#%## drill and floss.

G4 Attack of the Show features all of the Mattel San Diego Comic-Con. My favorite is easily the Mo-Larr the Eternian Dentist and Skeletor Robot Chicken Set.
A few weeks ago I made an Essential Seven Female Action Figure Wishlist. On the the list I included the character of Joan Holloway. Well, now Mattel is taking it one step closer with a Barbie doll of the Mad Men characters. The initial run will include (left to right) Joan Holloway, Roger Sterling, Don Draper and Betty Draper. The dolls run is limited to 10,000 each, and will only be available on the Barbie Collector site. No word on the inclusion of cigarette and martini accessories.
I’m sad though that the Joan Holloway doesn’t do Christina Hendricks amazing body justice. For years people have bitched about how “real” women don’t have a Barbie figure. They finally have a woman who does and they fail to give her the breasts the doll deserves. I’m not the only one who have noticed this.
MattyCollector posted a Ghostbusters update on Facebook :
Hey Slime Fans,
I wanted to jump in and give a quick update on what is going on with the GB line in 12″ and 6″ scale. We’ve had a few delays in release dates, but all six 6″ figures and the Peter and Winston 12″ figures are still set for release in 2010.
Orignally we had intended for a new 6″ figure to ship ever 2-3 months. But, inevitably due to circumstances well beyond our control we had a few hickups (this is why we don’t do preorders for any of our lines!). But we are back online now and 6″ Walter Peck is scheduled to hit Mattycollector.com in May. This will be followed by Slimed Peter in June and Labcoat Ray in Aug.
12″ Peter will hit in April followed by Winston in Aug.
We’re running a bit behind but by the end of the year we should be caught up and ready for even more Ghostbuster fun in 2011!
There will be three more 6″ figure for 2010 yet to reveal plus a really great SDCC item that will knock your socks off! The Ghostbuster fun has only yet begun – only on Mattycollector.com!
Matty
