DC Universe Classics Wonder Twins 2 Pack with SDCC Exclusive Gleek

Wow, it’s early April and news of upcoming San Diego Comic Con 2009 exclusives is already starting to leak out! Mattel and its official Mattel collecting website MattyCollector.com will be releasing a number of SDCC exclusives this summer, but the one that has The Blot really excited is their DC Universe Classics Wonder Twins action figure 2 pack. That’s right, the one and only Wonder Twins, Zan and Jayna, are available for the first time in Mattel’s DC Universe Classics line sculpted by the world famous Four Horsemen. This is definitely one SDCC exclusive I am going to have to get!

San Diego Comic Con 2009 Exclusive DC Universe Classics Wonder Twins 2 Pack - Zan, Jayna & Gleek Action Figures
As fans of the Super Friends cartoon probably remember, each Wonder Twin had the ability morph into different forms; Zan can take the form of any type of water, while Jayna can take the form of any type of animal, real or imaginary. To recreate this, the Wonder Twins box set also includes Zan in the form of water (in a bucket naturally) and Jayna in the form of a hawk.

As an added bonus, available ONLY as an exclusive gift with the purchase of the Wonder Twins box set at San Diego Comic Con 2009: the Wonder Twins’ mischievous monkey, Gleek! Gleek is only available this summer at the convention and he will not be included with any sets sold online afterwards (the Wonder Twins will be available without Gleek on MattyCollector.com after SDCC 2009).

While the price and edition size of the DC Universe Classics Wonder Twins 2 pack is not yet know, we do know they will come in special window box packaging complete with character accurate accessories as well as amazing light and sound action. Hopefully this means the figures can say “Wonder Twins powers activate!” As more details become available I will be sure to update this post.

Snow Flake 8 Inch Dunny (Tree Huggr Chase) by Kronk

Kidrobot's Tree Huggr 8” Dunny was released yesterday and is flying off store shelves around the world. One reason for this is its ultra rare, limited edition 1-in-12 Snow Flake colorway. If my math is correct that means there are only 83 (or 84 depending on how you round) of these very cool Tree Huggr variant figures in existence.

The Tree Huggr 8 inch Dunny by Kronk retails, when you can find them, for $75. The two chase colorwasy, Snow Flake and AWOL Edition, are already fetching double that or more on the secondary market. Good luck to everyone trying to collect all three!
