No feature today. Work really kicked my ass over the last couple of days, I got home late yesterday and bone tired, and I didn’t get any time to do the editing on what would have been today’s piece. Instead, I’m just going to bitch about Matty a bit before crawling into bed with a bottle of something.

So, yeah, yesterday was Matty Sale Day. Besides some Masters of the Universe Classics figures that I don’t care about, its finally time for Club Infinite Earths to kick in. Yeah, yeah… it was supposed to kick in back in April, but Matty couldn’t get their shit together so they bumped it back another month to May. Only it seems like it wasn’t enough because here we are on the day of the May Sale and Jay Garrick Flash still ain’t ready to ship. Right now they’re estimating a 5 to 7 day delay and that subscribers will have their figures ship out first, but at this point, I just don’t care any more. It looks like a great figure, I’ll get it when I get it, and frankly I’m just too tired right now to go on and on about Matty’s incompetence and how they expect all kinds of commitments from their subscribers, but in the end, they’re not obligated to follow through on anything they promised.

It seems as if MOTUC was affected as well. All this comes hot on the heels of Matty announcing that the Dana/Zuul figure statue that was promised to be available as one of the planned figures in the now defunct Ghostbusters line has been re-purposed as a 2012 SDCC Exclusive. Oh, Matty, do you ever get tired of kicking your faithful customers in the gonads? Ah well, we’ll likely still get a chance to pick one of those up via the website and after the Con. And chances are this one won’t turn yellow a few months later like those $70 Stay Puft figures, right?

As for Jay Garrick… normally, I don’t get my monthly figures until the very last day or so of the month of the sale. Now I can probably not expect to get Flash until sometime in June. Either way, I’ll be featuring him here as soon as I can get him.
