That’s right fellow Secret Saturday toy lovers, if you live in the UK you may have noticed that the newest Action figures and Cryptid Collection figures have been shipping to your local stores for the past couple months!
Among these are the second wave of action figures which includes Fiskerton and Peicemeal as well as several new cryptids including Hibagon, Owlman, Georgia Pigman, Waitoreke, Cactus Cat and the Atmospheric Jellyfish. This of course means there are still a wave each left due for both lines. These figures yet to be spotted are the Zak, Doyle and Van Rook w/ new accessories and the Allegwi, Chupacabra, Jersey Devil and Mississippi Swamp Ape.
To everyone elsewhere, including us based in the USA it is currently unknown if, where and when these figures will pop up, but let’s all cross our fingers and be sure to check the latest merchandise sightings on our forums.
Check these out! Mattel has released “Zak Control” Eyes variants of a few creatures in their Cryptid Collection line of figures. These figures have the yellow “glowing” eyes much like the exclusives in the Toys R Us 4 pack, but these elusive critters are found in the regular cryptids assortment!
The first two of these cryptids under Zak’s influence are Rakshasa and Biloko. You’ll have no trouble distinguishing these from the regular figures as Mattel even went as far as to change the artwork and copy on the boxes as well as include a sticker on the top left of the bubble to differentiate the variants. The figures themselves, apart form the paint application on the eyes, and the stand/cards are no different form their regular counterparts…

Hey everyone! Sort of good news, sort of bad. You may or may not know by now but reports are coming in from all over the country - in an effort to clear out overstock, Target stores have put the whole Secret Saturdays toyline on sale for up to 30-75% off depending on your own individual stores stock!
This is a great opportunity for all fans who have yet to pick up the line – go grab yourself a bargain. It’s also a good move to clear space for the few new items we are supposed to be getting. However it means the toys may not be doing as well as Mattel would like to keep the line going. So fans, near and far, take heed and continue to support the show and toys as much as you can.
Happy Cryptid Hunting!
Mattel’s line of Secret Saturday’s toys continues in 2010, and as you can see we’ve had a couple surprises already hit. We don’t know what is in store for all of the different lines, but news will start trickling in slowly.
Two things caught our attention though…
One, a strange Weird World themed “Argost Escape” playset was found online
The second… a glimpse into the next wave of 5″ Action figures thanks to the box of the recently discovered Griffin Attack Jet vehicle…

Mattel’s Secret Saturday’s toyline is rolling out with some all new items this year, the first of which has come as a surprise to us – The Griffin Fighter Jet.
Thanks to member cryptidcollectibles on the forum for pointing this out. They currently have only been spotted online at retailers such as Amazon for 19.99
“Now kids can fly into action with the Griffin, a super stealth plane on a mission to capture Cryptids. With just a touch of a button, blast out two missiles to defeat evil and save the day! Cockpit seats one Secret Saturdays action figure.”
I managed to get my hands on one a few days ago and am here to give you the lowdown on this sweet new ride for the 5″ line.
