From New York Comic Con 2012 comes Mattel’s Mattypalooza panel! See the new reveals for Masters of the Universe Classics and DC Universe Classics, and learn all about the new MOTUC Castle Grayskull playset!
Reports are coming in that a lot of older Mattel product has been showing up at Ollie’s Bargain Outlet stores in the U.S. I don’t have any of these stores near me, but it appears lot of MattyCollector and older SDCC Exclusive items are hitting these stores for the cheap!
It’s official! DC Club Inifnite Earths and MOTU Club Eternia met their goals for subscriptions and are going forward for 2013!
It appears DC squeaked by, which I was not at all expecting. But I’m very happy for the DC collectors out thee! MOTU Classics on the other hand ended up going above and beyond, going 35% beyond what was needed! Scott seems to imply that this boost bodes well for going forward in 2014 as well.
It was also announced that the winner of the Fan Poll for MOTU Classics was Geldor. Coming in second right behind him was Illumina. While I voted for Illumina, I’m happy with Geldor. It’s cool to get some mini comic representation in the line. Plus, I had a feeling he’d be the winner. He’s a huge fan favorite among the German fan base, and those German MOTU fans know how to get the job done!
I should add that it was very nice of Scott to give me a shout out in this video!
So, we’re getting at least another year of both DCUC and MOTUC! Pretty exciting stuff for those of us who were hoping for more toys.
Mattel’s DC Universe Classics will continue at retail with a smaller All Stars line that will seemingly focus more on the “heavy hitters” of the DC Universe.
