The second Mattel item is a bit of a head scratcher. People have been asking for the subscription window for the Matty subs to be open longer – presumably, it’s tough to commit to a year’s worth of figures only knowing a quarter’s worth of them. In response, Mattel has extended the window – but on the front end, before any information at all on the figures will be known. Thanks for that! 🙂
In addition, at this point there’s only two subs on the table – Club Eternia for Masters of the Universe Classics, and Club Infinite Earths for DC Universe Classics. There’s no extension to Club Black Freighter for Watchmen or Club Filmation, both of which went live this year without any thermometer drama. But I don’t think we should take this as final on what will be available – who knows what surprises Mattel has up their sleeves for San Diego Comic-Con?
2014 Club Eternia® & Club Infinite Earths Subscriptions Available 6/17 thru 8/19
Toy Fans,
As you probably know, we usually open subscriptions right after our Mattypalooza fan panel at San Diego Comic-Con and they stay open for about a month. Over the years, many of you have asked us to run the subscriptions longer so for 2014, we’re starting the sale early so everyone has a chance to get theirs when it’s convenient for them!
Subscriptions will be available for Masters of the Universe® Classics Club Eternia® and DC Universe Club Infinite Earths. When you sign up on 6/17, you’ll get all the subscription details except the names of the club-exclusive figure and first-quarter figures for each club. As always, those will be revealed at Mattypalooza Fan Panel at SDCC. (If you’re wondering why we don’t wait to open the subs until after the fan panel and leave the subscriptions open past August, it’s because we need final numbers by 8/19 to set production quotas and hit a January 2014 release date.)
Here are the dates you need to know:
2014 Subscriptions – Club Eternia® & Club Infinite Earths
Availability Opens: Monday 6/17 9am PT
Club-Exclusive Figures Announced: Mattypalooza Fan Panel at SDCC
Availability Closes: Monday 8/19 11:59pm PT
