Mattel declares war on Hasbro, looking to claim our souls
It was my hope, yesterday, that the final Toy Fair 2011 reveal - that of Mattel - would bring mirth and amusement to this household. Frankly, I underestimated the efforts of the oft-maligned manufacturer.
Mattel is making figures of Young Justice Kid Flash and Black Canary. It will release Green Lantern chibis, as plans to ship a super-deformed Wonder Woman, too. There's even going to be a Mego-style Kyle Rayner doll with cloth costume, which delights me no end. As exciting as all that is, it pales in comparison to the unexpected, undeniable awesomeness that hit me - like a steel chair to the face - just as I was about to log off.
THERE'S GOING TO BE WWE CHIBIS!!! WITH TRUCKS!!!
Whoever first came up with the idea for Star Wars: Galactic Heroes deserves love never-ending, I swear. That fun little concept gave us the Super Hero Squad and Transformers: Robot Heroes, then the mini Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the cutesy Doctor Who monsters, both the Batman: Brave and the Bold and DC Action Leagues and now... pro wrestlers. Great googily moogily, this is head-spinningly cool.
All that money I was saving by not buying Transformers: Dark of the Moon toys? Yeah. Now I know where it's going instead.
