The Four Horsemen have a Four Horsemen Fridays feature on their website, so we’ll hop on their coat tails for that. Hagop and I got to sit down with two of them at Mattel’s Collector Event at Toy Fair. It was really a treat talking to them, while surrounded by the 2-ups and prototypes of the action figures they’ve designed.

In our first part, we talk with Eric Treadaway, designer and sculptor, about Masters of the Universe Classics, DC Universe Classics, and fan reaction to some of the controversial reveals. We’ll post the second part, our conversation with Cornboy, on the Fwoosh next week.

Masters Of The Universe Classics Vikor

What do I do now that my favorite figure of the year, Masters Of The Universe Classics Vikor (Conan!!), has already arrived? I just don’t see how anything else coming out in 2011 could top this figure. Not for me anyway. I guess I’ll have plenty of time to enjoy my new Conan… uh, Vikor!

Toy Fair 2011 – Mattel Masters of the Universe Classics Report

Masters of the Universe Classics (48) (1280x720).jpg

Mattel held their Collector Event at Toy Fair yesterday afternoon, and it’s gotten a lot bigger across the board. By that I mean more figures on display, a little more space to do it in, and a bunch more people milling about. We’ve got a ton of pics to process and share, so in the interest of getting something up in a more timely fashion, we’ll cover Masters of the Universe Classics first – while they had new figures to show, it wasn’t an expansion like we’ve seen with DC, which has a bunch of new lines coming (we’ll get to those hopefully later today).
