Hey, Mr. Postman!


Oh boy, oh boy! Let's take a look at  what wonderful toy came in the mail this week...




MattyCollector released their exclusive DC Retro-Action Green Arrow again, herald of the 8" Mattel action figure line inspired by the Mego World's Greatest Superheroes of the 70's- a childhood favorite of mine! I caught the end of sale in late November, having missed him the first time around- Ollie was one of these I'd been after for some time- a really fun dolly with great accessories!


Click this link to see all my posts on these fun action figures, now sadly discontinued... there were so many characters I would have liked to have seen produced in this format, such a shame!


More Later- Make It FUN!

  2. That is a fantastic figure. He is one of my Holy grails too but I am waiting to get him for a steal so having him will be twice as sweet. Was fun to watch that video and see you in action.

  3. That sale was something. Mattel's saying they probably won't be doing anything like that again, since they're more or less basing their production size on subscription numbers and don't expect to have that quantity of extras.

    It sure was nice getting a second chance at some of those toys, though.

  4. sweet!
    Sadly I kept passing on these figuring they would be around for awhile. Guess I shouldn't have waited. Would have like to have seen some more Modern Heroes and Villans get the MEGO treatment.

  5. Very cool. I can't believe they brought it back. I missed it too, but I bought mine when they first came out. Glad you were able to pick one up.
