If you’re lucky enough to be in San Diego right now for the annual cram-way-too-many-smelly-people-wearing-Wolverine-T-shirts-into-one-giant-hall-and-make-them-forget-how-to-walk-in-an-orderly-fashion event (also known as Comic-Con), then make sure you stop by the Mattel booth. I have no clue where it is at the show. I’m not there. But chances are, it’s kind of in the middle, near all the other toy companies. Heck, you can’t miss it, since their booth usually looks like a gigantic Castle Grayskull from the old He-Man cartoons.
Anyways, once you get to the Mattel booth… go buy yourself the Comic-Con Exclusive Wonder Twins two-pack. Not only do you get Zan and Jayna, but you get space monkey Gleek! I know, I know. Zan is probably the lamest superhero ever, next to the Legion of Superheroes’ Bouncing Boy. He can turn into… water. How exciting. And just enough water to fill a… bucket, which is why you need Gleek to carry him around. Jayna, on the other hand, not only looked like a sexy version of Janet from “Three’s Company,” but she could turn into any animal. For some reason, I only remember her turning into an eagle, though. Go figure.
But besides some unbelievably amazing sculpting on the Twins and their monkey, Mattel has possibly created the greatest packaging ever. Yes, packaging. I’d even go so far as to say I’d buy this damn thing for the box alone, that’s how cool it is. Don’t believe my geeky self? Then watch this video to see the product in action. I’ll just sit here and wait for your apology…
Oh, and if you can’t make it to Comic-Con (which is probably 100% of you people reading this… or else, you wouldn’t be online, you’d be at the show), you can order the Wonder Twins two-pack (sans Gleek) from MattyCollector.com starting on August 3.
It’s shout-out time. My buddy
