I revised this post to clarify the information. I realized that I may have inaccurately quote Scott from Roast Gooble Dinner, so I have corrected this.
There has been much discussion over the past week about the announcement that Mattel will be giving away a free Masters of the Universe Classics accessory at this years Power-Con to everyone who attends the show. Thanks to Scott “Toyguru” Neitlich, we learned a few new details on the latest episode of He-Man.org’s Roast Gooble Dinner podcast, which we recorded yesterday and is already online for listening!
Here is a run-down of the details we received:
In regards to the limit of 1000, Power-Con is guaranteeing the first 1000 tickets sold will get this accessory. Mattel has not stated a specific production quantity. We only know there are not many of them. How many are claimed at Power-Con will determine if ANY are left over. We’re sure Mattel will let us know what they will do with them IF any remain.
So, there you go! If you are a completist and can’t live without this exclusive weapon, you may want to make arrangements to either get to Power-Con, or find someone who is willing to pick one up for you (but you still have to purchase a ticket!) Also, Pixel-Dan.com sponsor FantasticPlasticToys.com still has a few pre-orders available for the accessory if you wish to go that route!

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.

You guys know who Rudy Obrero is, right? He’s the talented artist behind many of the box art pieces from the original Masters of the Universe toy line, and the man responsible for the beautiful artwork seen on the MOTU Classics Wind Raider, Map posters, and the upcoming Granamyr.
Not too long ago he posted some brand new artwork depicting He-Man flying over a sea on a hover board-looking device that Rudy created just for the painting. He called in The Manta Raider.
Soon after, talented toy maker Joe Amaro recreated The Manta Raider in plastic! It was a perfect representation of the device seen in Rudy’s painting. After seeing this, many fans said they would love to add this piece to their collections.
Well, fans are finally going to get the chance to do just that.

While there has been plenty of arguing and debate, one thing I love seeing is when fans can come together for a common cause to help support the toy line they all love. Many people have already begun posting many pictures and videos in support of the Masters of the Universe Classics (and DC Universe Classics) subscription.
I felt that it was time for me to help spread the word as well.
Many others have posted some cool videos as well. Here’s a selection of them after the jump!
