New T2 Figures Unleashed!

Just in time for the release of Terminator: Salvation, NECA is proud to unveil a brand new series of 7″ figures based on James Cameron’s groundbreaking T2: Judgment Day! All three figures feature new editions of the T-800, including two new Arnolds with interchangeable heads!

The still-terrifying Endoskeleton has a newly tooled head and improved articulation, with over 20 moving parts and a Plasma Rifle accessory. A leather-clad Pescadero Escape T-800 comes with a ball-jointed neck, shoulders, elbows and wrists and is packing heat in the form of a Winchester Shotgun. And last but not least, the Man or Machine T-800 boasts a ball-jointed neck and shoulders, as well as swivel biceps, waist and boots, and a pistol, in case Robert Patrick should happen along.

A 12″ version of the Pescadero Escape T-800 will be released in June, and the 7″ figures will be back in late summer/early fall with a whole new second series!

Masters of the Universe Classics Subscription Update – Facebook

Mattycollector.com has published more information about the subscription plan for Masters of the Universe Classics, which will be available in a couple of weeks.

Well we know fans have been waiting for an update and here it the latest:

The MOTU subscription program will be available May 18th through 22nd.

You can purchase as many subscriptions as you want. Each subscription includes the Sept – Dec 2009 MOTUC figures

Convention, rerelease and repaint figures are not included simply because not all fans may want the rereleases and convention figures may change in price or release date

We will have a 2010 subscription for Jan – Dec 2010 figures in mid August with the same rules applying

Once you purchase a subscription you are locked in (i.e. no refunds)

Figures will continue to be revealed about three months ahead of time, so yes, if you buy a subscription you are agreeing to purchase which ever figure comes out that month even if not revealed yet

Options will be available to be charged and have figures ship each month, or to have all figures held, shipped and be charged at the end of the year.

Figures will also still be available to purchase each month with the standard limit of 10 (if you want more than 1 of a certain figure for example)

A few additional details will be on MattyCollector.com on the news section tomorrow and I’ll do my best to check in here often to answer any other questions!

Hope this will really help those who want a complete set!

Masters of the Universe Classics Hordak On Sale June 15

Mattel provided close to final production images of Hordak on their Facebook page. Hordak goes on sale on June 15.

Wow, is it already May! Holy cow this year is flying by. We are already up to Zodac in a few days and Hordak next month.

To get preped, here is the close to final Hordak carded images. (the actual sticker on the front will be a bit cleaner cut, this one was done by hand for the photo). But Hordak is already produced and likely heading for a boat this week to make his way to our distribution center for sale next month!

We produced Zodac, Hordak and Man-At-Arms in the same quantity as Mer Man (who was produced in higher quanty than previous figures himself). In reaction to the quick sales of Mer Man last month we have increased production again, and the first figure we will be able to increase is Tri-Klops.

We are committed to continuing to work with fans to increase production and hit that sweet spot. In the meantime, here’s Hordak carded! Note the longer “Grayskull” loincloth and increased paint ops on the final version.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles April O’Neil – San Diego Comic-Con Exclusive

Peter Laird announced on his blog that April O’Neil will be one of NECA’s exclusives for San Diego Comic-Con. The San Diego exclusive will come two Mousers – one battle-damaged and one featuring an articulated jaw. April will also be released this fall as a single-carded figure, but only with a single battle-damaged Mouser, according to earlier reports.

A nifty nugget of NECA news…

I got an email from Steve Murphy yesterday, with some information which was sent to him from Randy Falk at NECA. Here are the pertinent quotes from Randy, along with an image:

NECA TMNT April O'Neil with Mousers

I just wanted to send over an image of our SDCC exclusive for this summer.

It will be a brand new April O’ Neil figure that comes with a Battle Damaged Mouser and a Regular Mouser with a new head featuring an articulated jaw.

This is the first non Turtle figure in the NECA TMNT collection

This version of April will be available at San Diego Comic Con this July.

We are going to try to make arrangements to offer a small amount of figures online for those who can not attend SDCC.

Pretty cool! I look forward to putting these on my shelf next to the NECA Turtles. — PL
