As a follow-up to yesterday’s poll (What Kind of Club Eternia Subscription Do You Want for 2011?) I wanted to ask you how you felt about the Toy Guru’s all-in option.   Here’s Toy Guru’s description of the current plan.

So the tentative plan for 2011 is to have the following:

  • 12 Monthly figs
  • 4 Quarterly figs
  • 4 Oversized figs ($30 – $60)
  • 1 Subscription only figure (similar to Wun-Dar)

We are only going to offer one type of subscription (sorry folk, no tiers here). That being said, would fans prefer the subscription include only the 12 monthly figures or 1 of every sku including quarterly figures and oversize figures? Things could change, and obviously if Battlecat and Tytus don’t perform well we may not go forward with the oversize skus in 2011, but from initial feedback from NYTF, it looks like fans can’t wait for more big characters!

via 2011 Subscription – all in or only monthly figs?

It looks like the all-in subscription would guarantee double the expense that the 2010 Club Eternia sub does, so I will have to think twice before pulling the trigger on that. I would also think that if the subscription is double the cost, then Mattel ought to include two bonus figures.

If you’ve got some thoughts on this, feel free to leave a comment below.

World War Robot Berties – BattleGrip

After a lot of torture (aka reading the Fwoosh forum thread about 3A Toys and World War Robot) I’ve jumped in with a WWRP pre-order. And since there’s really no telling when those will actually ship, I’ve submitted to more torture (aka looking at pictures of other people’s 3A collections).

Here’s a fun quick look at the big brother 1/6 scale WWR line. I’m looking forward to BattleGrip’s big review of the Berties 7-pack.

World War Robot Berties Hit the Outdoors

It’s such a beautiful day here that Gina and I took the dogs for a walk to the park . . . and I immediately turned us around so that I could grab robots and the camera. I love when the water’s high around the park because it lets me take some fun shots of toys in nature.

I’m getting closer to launching the series of World War Robot* Bertie reviews. Many photos have been shot, the review headers for the master entry and all seven Berties are complete, and once I get all of the Squares set I’ll begin writing. It looks like this will be a series of nine reviews . . . there are a lot of robots in this box.

AFP Ask Matty Round-Up for 3/1/10

Here’s the latest Ask Matty Q&A.  Thanks to Toy Guru and Mattel!

1. Great reveal for the Wal-Mart exclusive Green Lantern 5-pack. Some quick questions: Is that Tomar Re or Tomar Tu? Is John Stewart’s Mosaic costume the one that matches Katma Tui’s from Wave 11? Will GL Sinestro have a mask, and if so, is it sculpted or just painted on?

A couple of weeks ago Toy Guru posted the tentative plan for the 2011 Club Eternia subscription, an all-in package that would include the all of the monthly, quarterly, and oversized figures.  So I’ve got a couple of questions for the Masters of the Universe Classics collectors out there.

We’ll have a follow-up question tomorrow.

Q: What’s Better Than Storing Your Action Figures in Big Plastic Tubs? v2

A: Actually having space to display them! 🙂

A few months ago I wrote about having to dismantle my “toy room” because we had decided to put in new carpet, and then about getting to put together a new and improved display. This past weekend, I put the finishing touches on some upgrades.
