Masters of the Universe Classics

What does that mean?

Remember your Math classes?
"Not Equal"...

I think what he meant to say was,

Moneys <> apes

Nope, actually I should've used this one... ≠

Rumor has it that Jerry from pop culture shock is in talk with the Mattel licensing dept.MOTU PF's to be announced soon !!! Distributed by Sideshow.

Really?
Where did you hear that?
Somehow, I highly doubt that Mattel would do that right now...
The only reason NECA got the license a few years ago, was because the 4HM had a great relationship with Mattel and were pulling some strings...

 

[Eamon]

A Sideshow MOTU product?? I think not!

That could be interesting, hopefully he ditches the Ed McGuiness look. I mean I like Ed McGuiness but not for everything.

Can you provide a link to that "rumor"?

And yes, "if" and that's a big "IF" they get the license, I would hate to see them screw up MOTU just like they did with Lion-O...

Damn that would make a great statue....He-man with BattleCat. So who's going to be the first to pick up this license....PCS or SS.....

I think Jerry, but then again, he might go into partnership with SS! Lets just wait and see!

Interesting tid-bit...

... a few more comments... then...

Neca has this license right now. Not sure when it's up though.
And in a Q&A a while back the question was asked to SS and they said there were not intrested in this line, due to it being done elsewhere Already.

Jerry from PCS replied to "Frankierock"

Not accurate...

Obviously Frankierock is completely clue-less since the NECA deal ended in 2007
and Sideshow in their Q&A said this on December 2009:

Q: Do you plan to acquire a license for the Masters of the Universe?

A: We have a very healthy appreciation for MOTU, but we can neither confirm nor deny any licensing efforts!

Then on March 2010:

Q: Masters of the Universe seems to be very popular. Do you guys have plans on picking up the license?

A: MOTU? You never know. It’s been discussed internally. Now whether those were real talks, or just geeking-out, we’ll have to let time tell.

So, SS seems to be interested in the license, and with the Success of the G.I. Joe and SW lines, they might present an interesting proposal to Mattel...

on the Mumm-Ra thread there's this:

Jerry!
Would you go with a classic He-Man design or modern?

If I were to do He-Man it would be the more modern versions.

I just dont feel simplistic cartoons translate well into high end statues.

I hate to say 'never' but its doubtful you will ever catch me making anything that looks too cartoonish or simplified. I just dont dig it.

However dont take the above as saying Im doing MOTU.

back to Mumm Ra the Everliving !

Ok, this pretty much clears it up...
Mattel has retired the modern 200x look, so, if statues were to happen, it wouldn't be with PCS, most likely Sideshow...

Also found this post on the Lion-O thread...

I spoke to Mattel a couple weeks ago...we'll see how it goes.

I really liked that statue that was done a few years ago. Wish I had one...i should go to EBay.

Seems like both SS and PCS are interested in the license... IF it happens...
I would rather have the 4HM sculpt them, as they are THE masters of MOTU!! !!

So, there it is... a rumor but based on some legit interest by both companies...
we'll see... I'm skeptical due to Mattel's stance on licensing their own properties... but who knows!!

 

[teemu]

personally I think we have the ultimate sculpts in the MOTU Classics(with articulation I must add)....to get $$$ statues just seems like a waste of resources and Logistics

 

[Kuzeh]

!!!
That's funny... but if it's outsourced, then Mattel doesn't lose anything... actually they'd make money without doing nothing...

 

[teemu]

has anyone seen this on TV,the UPS commercial? reminds me of Mattel and Toyguru everytime they play it....

Pfffft....statues. and no thanks to Sideshow ever getting a MOTU license. i know what we'd get: a he-man and skeletor and then 5 versions of royal guards and horde troopers then some really obscure character like Snout Spout just cuz "they think he looks cool" and then the line would go on hold.
