SDCC 09 - Mattel AttiTUBES

The Blot is pleased to bring you a first look at Mattel’s potential new line of designer vinyl figures entitled AttiTUBES, which premiered at San Diego Comic Con 2009. It’s weird, as Hasbro moves more and more away from their line of Mighty Muggs vinyl figures, it looks like every other toy company is trying to get in on the designer toy craze. To be honest, I was shocked it took Mattel this long to introduce a figure like this.

No word on if Mattel is even going to produce these AttiTUBES prototypes, but they are cool to look at. The three figures on the left (Mer-Man, Orko and Webstor) come from the world of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, but I have no idea who the two characters on the right are. One looks to be an astronaut, while the other is a generic looking scientist. You can be sure I’ll be scouring the internet to find out more information on these cute little quirky vinyl figures.
