Welcome to MattyCollector.com, Mattel’s official home for exclusive toys, news and more! Watch this space for updates from myself and "Jr. Toy Guru" (formerly known as Toy Guru, but now that I'm around that title isn't gonna fly) every week or so to keep you up to speed on the latest and greatest from Mattel.

It's an exciting time to be a Mattel Collector! With me in charge, great things are on the horizon.

Best,

Matty M. Mattel

Hey Everybody!

In the coming months Matty’s Store will offer unique exclusive products unavailable anywhere else – including DC Universe Classics 2-packs and Justice League Unlimited 4-packs. MattyCollector.com will also be the only place you can get Mattel’s all-new line of Masters of the Universe® Classics figures, with a new figure available every month starting with He-Man® in October!

Take some time now to register for Matty’s Newsletter so we can keep you up-to-date whenever new products are being offered and major announcements are made. In the coming months, look for dedicated pages for your favorite Mattel brands like DC Universe, Masters of the Universe Classics® and CARS die cast.

All of us at Mattel are thrilled to finally give you a first look at Matty's website. With Matty running the show, I don't even mind being called "Jr." Toy Guru. Keep checking back for news from both of us!

Ready, set, order!

Launch day is here! While some of you may have gotten an early look at the site during Comic-Con (we blame Faker Matty for any leaks), today is the day for you to get online and buy your toys!

In response to fan feedback, we have set the per-order maximum quantity for each toy to three. We're confident that at that number, figures will go to fans rather than scalpers.

We have a limited quantity of all four San Diego Comic-Con toys available at launch. If orders go very quickly today, there may sometimes be a lag before a "sold out" or "on backorder" notice appears on an item. So you may be a window of time when you're able to place an order after an item is no longer available, but the store will never actually charge your credit card unless a product is available for your order.

We'll keep updating you on any technical stuff as we work our way through launch. We hope you have a great first experience with MattyCollector.com!
