    Big Jim, Pulsar and Major Matt Mason are coming to SDCC

    It's official Big Jim, Pulsar and Major Matt Mason are coming to SDCC this year. Also, the only time my name and Margot Robbie's will be in the newspaper together.
    The toymaker will reintroduce three toy lines, Major Matt Mason, Big Jim and Pulsar, this week at Comic-Con as part of a strategy to dig deeper into its intellectual property portfolio.

    Neat! Glad these have finally been officially revealed.
    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

      You LUCKY so-and-so! So, is she as nice in the newspaper as she is in person? Does she have a subscription to Toy Ventures? Has she seen your recent (fantastic) review of the Big Jim Kung Fu Studio? I mean, she's doing a Barbie movie, so she's gotta be all about Mattel at this point and Big Jim is a Mattel IP, so...
      "It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."

              If you time it right, hit X before the page loads all the way and you can avoid the paywall.

                It wasn't, it was just a detail I saw somewhere.

                  was able to order a set yesterday. Usually stuff sells out in minutes.

                    I'll buy a Pulsar when the sets are divided on ebay, but I'm not a great fan of this format.

                    Now, If Mattel had done these in Legends format, yowza.
                    WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.

                      Hi all!

                      If you want to get them, they can be ordered directly from Mattel.

                      https://creations.mattel.com/product...-figures-gyw83

                      The price for the figures is the same as they charged at Comic Con.

                        Maybe I'm seeing it wrong. The bodies of these are completely featureless and identical and all of the details are painted on. The head is a low resolution caricature of the original character. And at no point is there any thought of a line for these.

                          Yeah I agree. I'm glad some are excited about these, but to me the only thing in this rendition that invokes these classic toys is their names.

                            I think they're neat but Mattel's interest in the properties is the bigger thing for me. If these sell out, maybe they get more ambitious with the merch.

                              can’t say I’m wowed by secret wars style figure. But I have amazing heroes ones and they can match with my captain action from that line.
