Damn, I can't wait for coverage of Mattel's Toy Fair showing
About me


What is a Scarecroodle?
~It's a catchier and more memorable name than Scarecrow, which is generally taken anyway. Scarecrow, being a fear-related villain with a catchy costume, is probably one of my all-time favorite villains (just not the movie version).

Beyond that, I'm just an average white guy in the age 24~36 bracket.



What does a Scarecroodle like?
~I love fighting games, platformers, horror, and anime. I also collect a lot of Marvel/DC stuff, but most of that interest stems from the old cartoons/movies and the comic interest only came because I thought some of the figures looked insane. Figure-wise, I think the 6\" scale is probably the ideal size for figures. At that size they can make nice display pieces, sick detail, and joints that don't break (like in the crappy smaller scales).

I'm also a massive fan of the really small scales because it usually allows for a lot of incredible-looking scenery (check out stuff like Warhammer, etc). I would love to really get into sculpting, but I'm kinda clumsy which doesn't work well when things need to be exact.

I'd really like to get into statues (because the detailing and paint is usually good), but the pricing is more than a little daunting and you don't get as much variety out of them whereas figures can be posed into elaborate set-ups or whatever.

Due to the size of the announcements listed on Matty Collector I'll toss the highlights up at the top then have the full list below. And it's HUGE =x Well, part of the size is the inclusion of older announcements including stuff already released. At any rate...

The big announcement might be the 1:1 Back to the Future (non-functioning) hoverboard.

Otherwise apparently they showed off the new Movie Masters TDKR stuff which apparently will have a CNC functioning Bat-Signal (I know, I'm nerding out, too). It's a 6-figure CNC with Catwoman, Batman, and Bane shown off which leaves... probably at least one different version of the previously mentioned characters then a reissue of a character not even in the movie and then some random character for the rest of the wave. Why? Because it's the Movie Masters line XD

On the DCU side, TRU is getting two 2-packs. First is a Yellow Lantern Hal and Blue Lantern Kyle Rayner (which I want) while the other is a red costume Azrael (DCSH reissue?) and Knight-Fall Damaged Batman (which I couldn't care less about).

Club Infinite Earths is apparently also going to have a Black Mask (Batman rogue, black skull mask; he was in the recent Batman: Under the Red Hood animated movie as well as appearing a few times in The Batman), Mirror Master (Flash rogue; older news iirc), as well as a Platinum and Tin (2pack? They're Metal Men so you should neither know nor care about them). This is in addition to the already announced Poison Ivy (you know her), Atrocitus, etc.

In the Fall they'll sell the last of the JLU packs. The only kinda notable ones are the "Future Static, Aqua Girl, Micron" and "Toyman, Dr. Destiny, Firefly" 3-packs. I know they've done Toyman (this is his animated series appearance where he looks like a doll) before but I haven't picked him up. Given that he's packed with Dr. Destiny (whom you should remember from the JL episode where Batman sings Frère Jacques to stay awake) and Firefly (Superman villain in metal suit with flamethrower) I might pick them up despite being lukewarm about the line.

They're also doing more (super deformed) DC Action League stuff. Apparently it's not going to retail any more? Wave 6 will include a vehicle / accessory instead of a second character


The (Arkham City) Batman / Catwoman legacy 2pack (which is getting a colorway) is already at retail. Saw JRAnightmare review it in his Super Sunday this week. The Catwoman is really awesome although it seems a little large.

The 6" Young Justice line will apparently be getting a much-overdue Superboy not wearing his "Solar Suit" (hopefully this means HIS NORMAL SHOW ATTIRE but you never know with Mattel) and apparently they're also doing a Guardian. That's right, they decided to go ahead and make a figure of the moderately obscure character who appeared only in the first ep so far (iirc) rather than give us a 6" Miss Martian to round out the team *sigh*

MotUC-wise they'll be doing Kobra Khan and some Snake Men. I'm kinda excited for that.
