MOTU Classics are now going to be $22 each....Beasts $33
(meanwhile Quality Control does not improve.Expect more backwards assembling)
Yep! while this is not directly being said(but its definitely implied) expect the 2013 MOTU Classics to be purchased SUB ONLY! (cherry pickers go away!
)
Hey He-Fans and She-Ravers, Toy Guru passed me a note on some MOTU updates and I wanted to post it right away:
"Hey everyone.
The 30th aniversairy year starts in less then 30 days and we are just on the edge of our seat. There is so much great MOTU goodness coming next year above and beyond the Classsics toy line in what will surely be a year long celebration.
We'll be kicking things off in December with a sneak peak at the new licensing art created in the Classics style. You'll hopefully see a lot of this art on tons of products next year from T-shirts to DVD releases and everything in between.
There are a few projects that have not fully come together, but once all the loose ends are tied, we'll have some big announcements for fans of MOTU of all ages. Stay tuned.
In terms of the MOTUC toy line, do look for some changes in 2012. For starters, day of prices for basic figures will go up to $22.00. Subscribers will still get there figures for the 2008 price of $20.00. Larger items like beasts and multipacks will also go up in similar increments ($33.00 vs. $30.00 etc...). We are still waiting to confirm implementing a system for subscribers to also purchase day-of or non sub product and save on shipping by combing with their sub items. Please stand by on this.
Also, as previously announced, we are reducing production quota a bit in 2012 to be closer to the sub number. There will be some day-of product, but some figures may not be as plentiful as they were in years past. (which also means you likely won't see sales like we just had on Black Friday/Cyber Monday again. Sure there may be a sale here and there, but it won't likely be as extensive or as discounted as we just had). Going forward, as we start planning 2013, "the line will start to favor the subscription model just a bit more". "After a few years at this, we've found that is the safest bet to keep the line going long term". (there will still be day-of, it just means the sub is a bit more important as the lifeblood and growth indicator of the line, if that helps).
Finally, we have had a few schedule slips in 2012 already. There will 100% be a monthy figure, but some of the quarterly or 30th figures may slip a month or two. All will ship in 2012, they just may not be on the orignal month announced at SDCC etc. I know already we moved the Star Sisters to Feb and Thunder Punch He-Man has slipped out to April (from March). He will still have the first mini comic. We will update you as we move forward on any other changes to releases.
It truly looks to be an amazing year to be a MOTU fan in 2012. The mini comics are coming along fantastic. We are likley to reveal the covers of issues 2 and 3 at NYTF at our collector event (along with hopefully the next batch of figures and the updated Snake-Man-At-Arms with Roboto and TrapJaw parts). NYTF Collector night will be out next big reveal for all collector brands.
And the best part; 2012 is just the begining. Great things are in store for MOTU. The next few years are truly going to be a good journey.

Sounds like the same story as every other year, plus a price hike.
yeah,I am going to be Doom and Gloom,but I don't see the line making into 2014...they want to 'make' people be subscribers only and people are eventually going to get the ____s of it (they are already now)...How long can the line survive on Subscribers only?especially since Toyguru said the line NOW survives on Subs..
prices increases/higher shipping costs are not going to help (and you know Subscribers will have to pay $22 each figure come 2013)
QC issues still a problem
Will the sub numbers keep piling in year after year, while the economy continues to keep falling flat on its face??
monthly Character selection starts out Good (Jan-Apr) then falls flat with least wanted characters like Slushhead, horde prime and cheap cash grab variants like Snake MAA..

meh....I'll still buy em all.
What is that about Snake MAA with trapjaw and roboto parts??

Yeah, it was already hard enough to get them. Now it's going to be even more difficult! And on top of that, you have to pay more.
In the beginning, I wanted to get them all...that failed after the first few figures because they sold out too quick. Then it was only the figures I really, really wanted....and that didn't work either. Now I'm just going to say "forget it" to even trying anymore.

I am really excited about the new art work bring produced!
It's a bummer what they keep doing with the scare tactics again...
but honestly, I'm happy we've gotten such amazing figures so far...
Most likely I won't buy a 2013 sub...
I look forward to next year, lots of good stuff coming,
Sorceress, Fisto, Khan, Shadow Weaver, Stinkor, TP He-Man, Slushhead, Granamyr are all pretty exciting, I really hope we see Jitsu, Horde Troopers, Mantenna, Mekaneck, Nijor, Two Bad and Ram Man...
Castle Grayskull and maybe NA He-Man and Skeletor, and I'm good...
I'd love to get more figures, creatures or play-sets, but by scaring people away, Mattel is "Killin' teh lien"...

I'll keep getting subs til i get Ram-Man, DAMNIT!!!!!!
Well 2013 may be your last sub! Rammy is highly likely the leader of the pack for the Sub...(I think Toyguru let that slip
)

It's not gonna be the last sub. A few disgruntled collectors on the org doesn't make up the majority. I am gonna keep getting subs. And I don't have a problem with the changes. I'm sure there are plenty of other MOTU collectors out there just like me.
From Matty's FB:
Fisto and Sorceress look amazing!!
New MOTUC carded images
by Mattycollector.com on Monday, December 5, 2011 at 10:54am
It is just a marathon of MOTUC news this week. We just got in early packaged samples of some upcoming MOTUC figures for 2012. No need to blather on here! Lets get right to the images....
Sorceress is the Jan. 2012 Club Eternia figure. While production will be lower overall in 2012 (closer to the sub number) we will make slightly more of her since, well, she is the Sorceress after all!
Sorceress's bio, as revealed at SDCC. An all new, all different bio will be on the traveling convention Temple of Darkness figure (who also comes with the Orb stand!)
Here's Fisto carded! The Feb 2012 Club Eternia figure. The alt head and belt is packed at the bottom.
Fisto's all new bio. And yes, he is Fisto, not "Battle Fist".
Our first 30th Anniversairy figure (of 6), 25 years in the making...Fearless Photog, the winner of the vintage Create a Figure contest!
Photog's all new bio as revealed at SDCC 2011. Photog goes on sale Jan 15th only on Mattycollector.com.
At last! Shadow Weaver. She looks a bit darker in the packaging due to the lighting. The final fig will match Orko's coloring. She will not be sold and is only available to 2012 Club Eternia subscribers.
Weaver's all new bio! Awesome.
There you go with the latest! Enjoy the pics and see you all back here Dec. 15th for Demo-Man, Battleground Evil Lyn and the Windraider toy!
