AFP Ask Matty Round-Up for 4/2/10 – the Real Deal

Some people sure got heated in their reaction to Toy Guru’s Magic 8-Ball April Fool’s prank yesterday. Did you really think he would leave us hanging? He’s supposed to be on vacation, but he still took the time to send us the real answers for this session. Thanks to Toy Guru and Mattel!

1. This may be a little early, but Raven is on my mind with Collect & Connect Trigon coming soon. Is Mattel planning to do another Fan’s Choice for DC Universe Classics in conjunction with Toyfare this year? And with respect to runner-ups from the prior votes, are any of those characters on the table for the upcoming year?

Yes, we do plan to do another fan’s choice contest, but for 2011, it will be for a Collect and Connect figure! Yes, we do have plans for some of the runner’s up. More details at SDCC.

AFP Ask Matty Round-Up for 4/1/10

Please find below the bi-monthly answers to your “Ask Mattel” questions.  Scott is currently out of the office but asked us to provide answers on his behalf.  We know he is the “Toy Guru” and an expert on all things Matty Collector so to keep the same quality of answers you’re readers are used to, we consulted with an answer expert – please go ahead and post these as the official Mattel answers.  You can go ahead and forward your April 15th questions to Scott directly.

Sometimes, I don’t know why we bother with these Q&A sessions. All we ever get are these non-answers, session after session after session. And even though we are getting our answers from someone else this go around, it’s just more of the same.

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.

Just a reminder that our next sale is Monday, April 19th. Items we’ve confirmed will be ready to ship include:

It starts Monday, April 19th at 12:00 noon Eastern (9:00am Pacific), so be sure to mark your calendar. We send out reminder emails, so if you haven’t registered yet, click here!

Reminder: Masters of the Universe Classics Moss Man, Stratos and More On Sale 3/15

Monday is the MattyCollector.com sale date for March, and Mattel has been warning that while they’re working on the issues with Digital River, we’re likely to see the same kind of performance this month. For more details see this post on Facebook about Moss Man’s production, this post about 3/15 sales info and this post about the Club Eternia subscription process on the MattyCollector.com forums. The net – fixing the production numbers and ordering issues will take some time.

So put on your hard hat and get ready to hit the “bundle” page to make your ordering just a little bit easier. Good luck!

3/15 Sale Reminder: Moss Man®, Stratos® & Scarecrow

Masters of the Universe Classics Moss Man and Stratos, The Dark Knight Scarecrow, and DC Universe Classics Wave 12 On Sale 3/15

It’s just over a week away, so be sure to mark your calendars, set your alarm clocks, and bookmark the all-in-one sales page. This MattyCollector.com sales date may turn out be just as crazy as February’s.  There’s no Battle Cat this time, but Mattel still managed to make something that is sure to attract a lot of traffic. When they decided to make the running change to unflock Moss Man’s ears, they managed to finish production on a very limited number of Moss Man figures with flocked ears.

Because this variant will be very rare, we’re sure to see the folks who would have preferred flocked ears, completists on the line, and Scalp-or wannabes storming the site on Monday the 15th. Even though I’ve got a Club Eternia subscription, I’m bummed because I may have to fight my way through anyways, to get a reissued Stratos – he’s the only one I’ve skipped so far.
