Reminder: Masters of the Universe Classics Evil-Lyn, Hordak, Weapons Pak, and More on Sale April 19

I’m glad I’ve got a Club Eternia subscription, because I don’t want to be fighting the horde (no pun intended) to pick up an Evil-Lyn on Monday. This may also be the first time in a long time that I’m not logging onto MattyCollector.com to order an extra item – I have Hordak from when he was first released, and am not collecting the Dark Knight or 12-inch Ghostbuster figures.

The recolored gear for Stratos is what is nagging me to buy the Weapons Pak, but when I think about the stack of extra accessories I already have for MOTUC, I will probably pass.

Good luck with your order – use the Bundle page to make it easier!

Mattel San Diego Comic-Con Exclusives – Official Details and Pics

Mater_PkgPolly_pkg1

Mattel has released the official descriptions and pictures of their San Diego Comic-Con Exclusives that they announced on Attack of the Show (part 1 | part 2). They promised more reveals, and they came through with previously unannounced exclusives for Cars and Justice League Polly Pockets.

I’m psyched about face-hugger Starros for my DC Universe Classics Justice League, but is it weird that I’m excited about the dentist’s chair that comes with Mo-Larr? 🙂

Mattel Ghostbusters, Toy Story, WWE, and Avatar Exclusives Announced on Attack of the Show

Attack of the Show aired part two of Blair Butler’s visit with Mattel’s Toy Guru, aka Scott Neitlich, where they covered the remaining exclusives for San Diego Comic-Con. We had guessed at some of these looking at snapshots of the video clips from the first reveal, but we hadn’t seen the Toy Story exclusive before tonight. Without further ado, here’s what was shown:

  • The Real Ghostbusters Retro-Action Heroes Peter Venkman – Mattel kicks off an extension to the Ghostbusters license with Mego-styled figures from the popular animated series. For SDCC, Venkman comes in his movie colors, as the Real Ghostbusters appeared in the episode, “Citizen Ghost.”
  • Toy Story 3 Lots-O’-Huggin’ Bear – this new Toy Story character, voiced by Ned Beatty in the upcoming third movie in the Toy Story series, will only be available as an SDCC and MattyCollector.com exclusive. The movie opens June 18, so Lots-O should have lots of companions on shelves waiting for him to join. He’ll apparently come with a shortcake scent.
  • WWE Wrestlemania XV Undertaker – this exclusive looks like an Entrance Great, with the Undertaker appearing in his Ministry of Darkness costume from Wrestlemania XV when he faced the Big Boss Man in the “Hell in a Cell” cage match. If it’s an Entrance Great, it will come with a base and sound chip that plays his entrance music. This version of the Undertaker will only be available as an SDCC and MattyCollector.com exclusive.
  • Avatar “Final Battle” Jake Sully vs. Colonel Quaritch – Jake gets a new head, the AMP gets some battle-damage, and they all get new accessories. A full diorama in package will make you think twice about opening it.

Toy Guru promises even more reveals, so check back again tomorrow.

AFP Ask Matty Round-Up for 4/15/10

No Magic 8-Ball this time around – here’s the straight up answers from Toy Guru and Mattel. Thanks guys!

1. If the demand for Masters of the Universe Classics at mass market is strong enough to support a retail line, what would that mean for MattyCollector.com and the long-term plan for MOTUC ? Would you want to continue the MattyCollector program with monthly releases with the long-term roadmap intact, or would you have to pull some figures forward to build out the mass market assortments?

Masters of the Universe Classics - DC Universe Classics 2-packs 01 (1024x1024).jpgMasters of the Universe Classics - DC Universe Classics 2-packs 02 (1024x1024).jpgMasters of the Universe Classics - DC Universe Classics 2-packs 03 (769x1024).jpgMasters of the Universe Classics - DC Universe Classics 2-packs 04 (766x1024).jpgMasters of the Universe Classics - DC Universe Classics 2-packs 05 (1024x1024).jpgMasters of the Universe Classics - DC Universe Classics 2-packs 06 (1024x1024).jpgMasters of the Universe Classics - DC Universe Classics 2-packs 07 (1024x768).jpgMasters of the Universe Classics - DC Universe Classics 2-packs 08 (1024x768).jpg

If we ever brought MOTUC to retail, it would most likely be only in a movie year and would only be re-releases and repaints with fewer accessories (one head only, one weapon only) within a new pack-out pose in order to keep the original releases special . The plan, at least now, would be to continue the new figures with multiple heads and multiple accessories on a monthly basis on Mattycollector.com, even if re-releases are available at retail.

Masters of the Universe Classics Evil-Lyn, Hordak, Weapons Pak, and More on Sale April 19

The MattyCollector.com sales date in April was moved from April 15 to April 19 to accommodate more improvements in the sales process at Digital River. Quick sellouts will continue, though, since the production increases don’t kick in until this summer. So if you’re looking to pick up Evil-Lyn (and who isn’t?) you will need to be quick.
