We now have information that was presented at the MattyCollector panel at NYCC, hosted by Toy Guru & The 4 Horsemen! ToyARK member Flint was on hand and gave us the following intel:
IN 2009 they Are going to have full Brand Pages and Visual Guides for DCUC, MOTU, JLU, Ghostbusters, Cars, Toy Story.
New Items every Month in 2009
Justice League Unlimited
JLU 4 Packs every quarter
First Up Gotham Criminals on 2/17
Next Legion of Super Heroes : Brainiac 5, Lightning Lad, Cosmic Girl (and One other who’s name escapes me)
Then The Marvel Family: Captain Marvel, Black Adam, Mary Marvel and The Wizard Shazam
DCUC
April 15th Alex Luthor and Ultraman 2 pack Available
MOTUC
There may be some months with bonus figures. Bonus figures will be repaints or reissues, but don’t worry about things like Technocolor Skeletor. Think Mini comic or 200x style repaints.
SDCC exclusive in addition to July Figure, revealed in April.
Ghostbusters
12″ figures have a new body type pattened by Mattel that has never seen before with amazing articulation.
Will feature authentic accesories with moving parts. The line will represent all spectrums of Ghostbusters Media. Each Figure will be packed with a ghost. A new Figure will be available every other month.
12″ Ghostbusters figures will be $60 and 6″ will be $20.
Q&A Highlights
If MOTU contines to be successful, they may look at A Grayskull type display. Good chances of Battlecat and obviously Panthor.
The Cost for Mini comics would take away from things like extra heads. They are looking at doing a graphic novel reprinting the original Mini comics.
They are looking at international distribution centers for international fans.
MOTUC reissues would have minor changes like 2nd printing on packaging.
King Greyskull could get a reissue with different paint apps.
You will never see a rerelease of LOBO but he may be a possibility for JLU someday likely through Matty.
Director was signed for a MOTU movie
Shadow Weaver (MOTU) is off limits as are other Flimation characters. But if rights ever open up, they’ll probably jump on it.
Titus and Megator would be more possible then Modulock and Accessory packs with repainted weapons might happen one day.
They were looking at trying to do Thundercats, but the rights are not available.
Anti Monitor 30″ exclusive for SDCC. The 30″ Antimonitor was very expensive to make and the ones given away for the Raffel is hand put together and painted. They looked at producing them but they would cost $300 and they would have to sell 50,000 to be profitable.
Starting Friday, February 6, 2009 the News, Images and Interviews will start pouring in from the events at NYCC 2009. You can also expect in-depth coverage of Hasbro, Mattel and all of the other major company's who will be in attendance at this years New York Comic Con.

Hey Pitu! Nice to see ya here, I hang on the freak boards and I've actually cried laughing at some of your Pituvision videos.

DC Direct Coverage
I want to be excited about all this stuff, but my wallet says "no".
Watchmen looks good !
Those DC women statues based on Adam Hughes' artwork look great.
Gah, too much awesome
Mattel has a massive set up at the show so expect to see the Ghost Busters toys, New He-Man toy and DC.
Hasbro is at the show and the case is over flowing with new Universe and X-Men toys..........Wait for it!
The Blackest Night stuff is looking great and I'm really looking forward to those figures coming out; too bad there's no individual picture of the Indigo Lantern visible in the background, though.
However...I'm concerned that the Atrocitus toy has made it this far with his Red Lantern symbol upside down. I really hope that gets fixed before these are released.
Marvel Universe images added!
Marvel Transformers Crossovers
I felt that it was only a matter of time before Crossovers Wolverine was repainted, and looks like I was right! I'll probably be picking this version up.
Also, the white costume Hand Ninja looks like it will be very easy to customize into Storm Shadow!
I'm digging those Fury Files more and more. Must get Spidey and his Amazing Friends!
GOOOOO! Seriously, those Fury Files figures are a little plastic slice of nerd-nirvana. The character selection if a great mix of "A", "B", and "C" list characters, and the sculpts look fantastic.
Wolverine & The X-Men figures
X-Men: Origins Wolverine figures
Yeah, I'm dying to see the ghostbuster figures.
I swore off the 3 3/4 marvel ... but man are they making it difficult.
I know you guys are busy at the con but if ya get a sec ... Are the Animated figures fully poseable and do they come with the dio-stands?
the new 3 3/4 is the bomb....... I'm glad that the other marvel lines are also following the same scale, It was a pain before whe neach show/ line was a different size.
Wallet is sad and already feels empty.
Marvel Universe info:
Another exclusive set consists of Yellow Daredevil, Hydra agent, & White Hand Ninja. Price and the store to sell this particular set are still [unknown.
A promo ad was also shown for "gigantic battles" set for release in fall.Gigantic battles consist of one 3-3/4" scale figure, w/one big, build-a-figure sized, to scale figure of traditionally large villains & heroes. When asked about a Sentinel in a "gigantic battle" set, Hasbro replied, "no comment".
You have no idea how excited I am for the Spider Man and his Amazing Friends 3 pack. Iceman's head and Eyes are dead on and Firestar, what can I say.. so F'N AWESOME.
