<p>Thanks to everyone who voted in our poll.<br />We will have a new unofficial poll posted soon with the help of He-Fan <strong>twinAJ1</strong> that focuses on what you'd like to see changed (or not changed) on MOTUC Teela.</p><p>Here are the results of our latest poll.<br />The question was:</p><p>In the near future, in the addition to the regular monthly figure Mattel will also be releasing a new bonus figure. The bonus figure will be a refresh concept (like Zodak), larger scale items (like Battle Cat), or a re-release (like He-Man). Will you be buying all, some or none of these bonus items</p><p>790 registered fans voted!<br />As a point of reference to the potential representation of this poll,<br />we know most of you buy multiple copies, to sell or trade or keep, etc.<br />If the average is 3 per person, and everyone who votes buys the regular MOTUC figure releases, then this poll accounts for 2370 MOTUC figures possibly purchased.<br />If Mattel is producing 15,000 of each figure as we have guessed (but have no hard proof to back that up, as Mattel has not released any numbers),<br />then these votes can potentially account for 16% of the MOTUC buying market.</p><p>Here's what you had to say about re-releases:<br />110 of you are going to buy them all<br />495 of you will only buy re-releases that interest you<br />189 won't be buying any re-releases</p><p>And about refresh concepts:<br />376 of you are going to buy them all<br />352 of you will buy only refresh concepts that interest you<br />66 won't be buying any refresh concepts</p><p>And about larger scale items:<br />427 of you are going to buy them all<br />258 of you will buy only larger scale items that interest you<br />109 won't be buying any larger scale items</p><p>So draw the conclusion that you see fit.<br /><a href="forums/boards/showthread.php?t=178207" target="_blank">And click here to discuss the results with other registered fans.</a></p><p>The 3 random winners for this poll's drawing for a free MOTUC Tri-Klops are:<br /><strong>EL-HOMBRE</strong><br /><strong>cOLD_SNAKE</strong><br />and<br /><strong>he-penguin</strong><br />Congratulations to them!<br />Be sure to vote in our next poll when it's posted for a chance to win one of 3 MOTUC Webstor figures!</p><p>Thanks again to everyone who participated!</p>

<p>Toyguru returned by the .org on Monday evening with a Post Sale Update!</p><blockquote><p>Yup. Prince Adam sold out again! And what is crazy is the second production run was way higher than the first run back in Dec. 2008 and that run took weeks to sell out. I guess the Power of Grayskull rule sall. We totally expected He-Man to stay on sale well into the holidays.Oh well!<br /><br />We will go into a third run, but not for quite a while, especially since we have ye old Battle Armor He-Man coming up in January and want to give him some time to shine. <br /><br />Scareglow is still available, but also sold way more in day 1 than we expected. Only a handful are left, I don't expect him to be hanging around at the end of the week. (Editor's Note: Scareglow is now sold out)<br /><br />So excited for December's figures. Personally I've waited my whole life for a Goddess figure, and boy did the Horsemen do a great job!<br /><br />2010 will really be a great year. We've only begun to get our feet wet in the awesomeness of MOTU classics. 2009 was really a "will this work"year. 2010 is where we really jump off the deep end! If figures continue to do well, we've got a lot of GREAT surprises in store - just you wait!<br /><br />TG </p></blockquote><p>You can read the original post <a href="http://www.he-man.org/forums/boards/showpost.php?p=2258066&postcount=74">here</a>.</p>

<p>It's that time again! Let's begin!<a href="http://pendragonspost.blogspot.com/2009/11/ask-matty-111609.html"><br /></a></p><p><a href="http://pendragonspost.blogspot.com/2009/11/ask-matty-111609.html">Pendragon's Post </a></p><p><strong>2) What are the chances of Mattel adopting a resalable kind of packaging for the MOTUC line so collectors don't need to ruin the awesome package art to get to their even more awesome figures? </strong></p><p>This is something I have looked into, but no, the packaging will not be resealable in the near future.</p><p><strong>5) Though it's about a year away, it seems in October both the Big Apple Comic Con and New York Comic Con will be held on the same weekend (October 7 -10). Does Mattel have any plans to attend either convention, because it'll be about 3 months after SDCC? If so, do you know which one, at this time? Any other cons you are planning on attending?</strong></p><p>Unfortunately, October is not a month Mattel is available for conventions due to our own Toy Fair. If either of these convention move back to April or February we can look at attending again. </p><p>------------------------------------------------------------------</p><p><a href="http://www.poeghostal.com/2009/11/ask-mattel-answers-for-mid-november.html">PoeGhostal.com </a></p><p><strong>2.) PrfktTear asks: Whenever Evil-Lyn is made for MOTUC, will she have her Classic yellow skin/blue armor? Will she be available as a bonus with the 2002 white skin/purple armor? </strong></p><p>It is too early for me to comment on any unannounced figures, but I can tell you our long term plan is to do multiple versions of main characters, especially if they had two distinct looks like Evil-Lyn does.</p><p><strong>4.) Thomas B asks: It was expressed by ToyGuru on the He-Man.org board that the bonus figures sales need to “pick up steam”, which seems odd, since a sell-out is a sell-out and this contradicts what has been said previously about Mattel’s desire to have the figures available for 2-3 weeks. So my question is, if future bonus figure sales are the same as Zodak’s, will that be satisfactory? </strong></p><p>If future bonus figures sell as well as Zodak we will continue the program.</p><p>------------------------------------------------------------------</p><p><a href="http://www.thefwoosh.com/2009/11/ask-matty-11169">The Fwoosh</a></p><p><strong>4. We know that MOTUC takes most of its stylistic cues fromthe classic 80s line, but what about Mantenna? If/when you get aroundto doing him for the line, would his four legs be connected two by twolike the old figure, or all for individual like he has been portrayedin the 200x and She-Ra cartoons?</strong></p><p>It’s too early to tell, but likely I’ll try to go for 4 legs sincehe would need new legs anyway to show the “2 combined legs” like thevintage figure had. I might also give him two heads, one with eyes up,one with eyes down.</p><p>------------------------------------------------------------------</p><p><a href="http://tnts.dirtmound.com/article.php?story=20091015143510520">That New Toy Smell</a></p><p><strong>6) Is there any idea on whether or not we will see a MOTUC 2-Pack or army builder pack this coming year, 2010?</strong><br /><br />It is too early to make that call. We need to see how other bonus figures and Battlecat perform before announcing anything else beyond basic figures per month.<br /><br /><strong>7) Will future females in the MOTUC suffer from the same fragile neck peg? Swapping heads is a tad scary.</strong><br /><br />The joint is actually very sturdy. Until we hear of actual breaking, we do not want to use a larger peg as that would limit articulation. If this actually becomes a problem we will make needed changes.<br /><strong><br />8) Will future female figures in MOTUC have softer or maybe even rubberized clothing/dresses? The lack of waist articulation and inability to sit down is a bit dissapointing for some fans.</strong><br /><br />Yes, we actually do want a softer plastic used going forward.<br /><strong><br />9) Will the New Adventures figures have the same build as the current figures, or will they be more of a more realistic build like the original line?</strong><br /><br />Yes, all the figures in the Classics line will have the same scale and basic look.</p><p>------------------------------------------------------------------</p><p><a href="http://kastorskorner.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=416&Itemid=54">Kasor's Korner</a></p><p><strong>Kastor: The 80's Evil Lyn was a repaint of Teela with a new head. With the new line are you looking to give her an original sculpt or will she have the same treatment as her 80's version?</strong><br /><br />Matty: I can’t comment on unannounced figures, but the long term plan is to do multiple version of Evil Lyn. (Editors note: This was asked before she was announced last night as the April 2010 figure)</p><p>------------------------------------------------------------------</p><p><a href="http://www.figures.com/forums/news/9626-ask-matty-november-16th-q.html">Figures.com</a></p><p><strong>1) With the holidays fast approaching, can we look forward to any newproduct reveals on the Masters of the Universe Classics line or will weneed to hold out until Toy Fair?</strong><br /><br />Evil Lyn will be shown in the next issue of Toy Fare magazine!<br /><br /><strong>2) We recently noticed that Keldor and Count Marzo are both mentionedin King Randor's character bio. Does this mean that we can look forwardto getting both of those figures next year?</strong><br /><br />I’ve read the speculation online and to put these rumors to rest,there is no connection to figures being mentioned on a bio and themappearing in the line. The bios are based on the figures and maymention other characters that are related to one another (friends,foes, etc…).<br /><br /><strong>3) If the Masters of the Universe Classics line continues with itssuccessful track record, would you consider adapting the Collect andConnect program to it in order to offer fans a chance to add larger andmore originally sculpted characters to their collections?</strong><br /><br />I’ve looked into this, but really the Collect and Connect program isone that works for a retail line that is released in waves. BecauseMOTU Classics is an online toy line released one per month, it doesn’tlend itself to a Collect and Connect program. I am interested in doingsome of the larger creatures and characters, and they are more likelyto be released as a single toy, not broken up into parts.<br /><br /><strong>4) You have stated in the past that all MOTUC figures you produce willhave the classic look incorporated into their design regardless if theyare original or 200X characters. Would you still however, considermaking Evolutions of MOTUC packs which would consist of the samecharacter in their original and 200X look?</strong><br /><br />No, I have no plans to do any 200X styled version of figures in theClassics line. I will do 200X characters (like King Grayskull andZodak) but they will all be in the Classics style.<br /><strong><br />5) The Masters of the Universe cartoon and toys was an unforgettablepart of my childhood but so were the Thundercats. Is obtaining themaster toy license for Thundercats a long-term goal for Mattel?</strong><br /><br />Sorry, but I can’t discuss the possibilities of acquiring new properties.</p><p><em></em></p>

<p>Huge MOTUC update from Mattycollector.com's Facebook page!</p><p> </p><blockquote><p>Lots going on in the MOTU world. We got in a new sample of Moss Man.Almost there. His fur is not quite the right color, so we're going tohold off until we have a more finished sample on this guy before posting. <br /><br />We also got early samples of Battle Cat in package in. Have a bit of an issue that his mask is falling off in package. We're doing everything we can to fix this before the full production is finished. He'll come in a box with a blister back (similar to the original toy) so worst case is the box can be opened without damage to slide the mask back on.But we'll do all we can to avoid this!<br /><br />As soon as we have a better sample we'll post it for all to see.<br /><br />And the big news, we've got our April 2010 figure all lined up. You can catch the first images of EVIL LYN in the next issue of Toy Fare magazine! Which version is she? You'll just have to wait until ToyFare's 2010 preview in issue 150 to find out!</p></blockquote>

<p>Toyguru is back and he needs the help of the New Adventures of He-Man fans!</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">He-Fans, <br /><br />As you know, we are looking to bring some of the New Adventures characters into the Classics line over the next few years (and the first one will be in the first half of 2010, but it may not be who you think!). <br /><br />One of the ways we prep for this line is by getting samples of all the old figures. While we have loose figures, our archive does not have packaged samples of <em>every </em>NA figure. <br /><br />So we'd like to turn to the fans. It would be very helpful if fans who have carded samples of NA characters can post the bios from the back of all the NA figures in this thread. We won't be repeating them verbatum, but we want to include some elements in the new Classics card backs. We have the first few NA bios complete already, but as we get to more obscure characters in the coming years, access to the orignal bios would be great!<br /><br />If fans can create a complete NA biosl list in this post, that would be very helpful to our entertainment team!<br /><br />TG</p><p><a href="forums/boards/showthread.php?t=179832" target="_blank">Registered users can click here to partipate in the thread!</a></p>

<p>While running near Grayskull, Battle Cat becomes thirsty and stops at the well near the castle. He-Man draws up a bucket of water for the tiger, questioning aloud whether he should just get a mechanical vehicle, since those don't need to stop for water (jokingly), but hears a battle raging underneath the well.</p><p>Upon climbing down the rope he discovers a system of underground caverns, which lead to a secret entrance to the castle. After fighting various enemies, He-Man, along with Man-At-Arms and Stratos, save Teela and Skeletor disappears, defeated.</p><p>He-Man decides he won't let Skeletor gain entrance to Grayskull by way of the secret passage, so he strikes at the walls of the cave until they begin to collapse, whereupon they all escape to learn that Battle Cat sought help for He-Man after he went down the well and realize that a live animal is better than any machine form of transportation.</p><p><strong>Scans courtesy of Black.</strong></p>

<p><span style="color: #003366;">He-Man re-appears for his third time in toon-form, now in the new millenium. Mattel decided to take him back to his original roots on Eternia with all the original, more familiar characters. Mike Young Productions (MYP), took the wheel this time around and Mattel even hired Michael Halperin to write the new series' bible (who wrote the original Series Bible for the Filmation series). This is the first cartoon to show how Prince Adam came to learn of the Sword of Power!</span></p>
