Results: Masters of the Universe Classics Top Ten Poll

For this article, I asked Ibentmyman-thing to change his name to Ibentmyman-tenna, and he agreed – as long as I acknowledged the greatness that is the Frank Langella Skeletor. Thank you, Benty!

And thank you to all who voted. With over six thousand total votes, this was another big Top Ten. And, I know there were some characters that were omitted, since the list was based on the figures that have seen plastic in the past. VeeBee has promised some follow-ups for these characters on the Fwoosh.

Masters of the Universe Classics Roboto and Schedule Update

I never noticed the swapped shoulders on the original Masters of the Universe Classics He-Man, and I probably wouldn’t have noticed on Roboto either. Bummer for those of you who can’t help seeing them – hopefully they do reissue him with a fix.

With the delay of the Palace Guards set, it means I’ll still have one more visit to MattyCollector.com and the White Screen of Death to contend with. I guess I’ll also be back in the fourth quarter for the vehicle. Yay!

Poll: Masters of the Universe Classics Top Ten – Last Day to Vote

Voting closes tonight, 10/16, at Midnight. Vote in the MOTUC Top Ten now!

As we’ve heard many times in our various interviews with Toy Guru and Mattel, the team for Masters of the Universe Classics has a long term, multi-year plan for the line. By this time of year, I’d guess that they’ve already laid out 2011 – we’ve already seen a handful of the 2011 Masters of the Universe Classics figures at San Diego Comic-Con. Now it’s time for you to vote for the figures you want to see next!
