Masters of the Universe Classics

[teemu]

I concur. I'm hoping for Icer as well.

so far the big 6 I heard are those 3 above, plus Icer,Scorpia and Seahawk

 

[teemu]

OK...the two pack army builder are NOT Horde troopers....always suspected skeletor's skeleton warriors,but could be the hover robots too

Definitely will see a girl (Castaspella )

expect Filmation characters added to the 2013 lineup

some other BIG items might be revealed now, if not they will defintely be at SDCC. (Thinking Battle Ram and Stridor here)

and AMAZING stuff is coming that NO ONE will expect!!!

 

[kaponokeona]

I have to ask if you have inside knowledge other then things Scott has been hinting?

 

[Hellion]

Would love to see Dragstor sooner rather than later.

Are you sure about that? At He-man.org there are rumors about a 2-pack, but it may not be part of the 2013 subscription so that $50 2-pack slot may not be revealed until SDCC.

Also I don't see the hover robots being a $50 2-pack. That would be a big rip-off even if they went overboard on the accessories.

the two-pack they are going to show will likely be a Filmation set of characters...possibly a couple 2 pack sets over the course of the year,though I'd rather have them carded singles

the actual 2 pack in the sub is still up in the air in figuring out what it actually is....dont expect to see it at Toyfair though

the 3 I heard would be Skeleton Warriors,Horde Troopers and Hover Robots

We are supposed to be getting some unexpected MOTU in '13 (meaning extra Sku's) and I heard Battle Ram aswell

We should be seeing Castaspella and Mantenna (Sub figs),with Castle Grayskull set Prototype,and 2 Filmation Characters

As always, I come in late to the collecting of a line, and prices go crazy for certain figures. Teela for $500!?!?! Beast Man for $400!?!?! When I can still get others for around $35!?!!? Hmmm....

Anyway, where's the best place to find out if any toy manufacturer is planning anything cool for the 30th anniversary?

I know Teela,Beast Man,Fisto,and Sorceress have gotten rare...but where do you get those prices??

those usually hit $80-100 mark on ebay

 

[teemu]

Could this be the last year???

I've always said we will try to make these figures as long as their are fans buying and that one day it will cost more to make (and ship) these figures then fans are willing to pay. I hope we are not there yet, but if we are, it's been a fun run!

We can affect things like character choice (which if we get a 2014 line we will do our best to only focus on the vintage line and main animated figs) but affecting shipping or the cost of prodcution are not factors we have much control over. It costs what it costs and hopefully we have enough customers willing to pay for more figures. If not, we'll wrap things up for Classiocs in 2013 and look forwards the future for something different and maybe less expensive to make and ship.

They are going to give us extra Sku's in '13...but '14 is not going to happen without the Sub support

now I think I'd rather have Two-bad before Mantenna

 

[Kuzeh]

Well... I mean... the line has been suffering from a variety of mishaps, particularly with the "loud fans"
But in reality, MOTU isn't as mainstream as franchises like TF, SW or others... so the fact that it has lasted as long, against all odds, is a success in itself...
I'm pretty sure Two-Bad will make the cut...
But maybe, TG is trying to set expectations for the "big" Toyfair announcement...

 

[JonWes]

I would not be too worried. He's just stating a fact. If the support isn't there, it won't happen.

But so far the support HAS been there.

 

[lerath666]

I find it odd that when they go hardcore vintage characters, and filmation characters, support drops off? Could it be that those fans are int the minority, but just really loud?

 

[koolkollectibleskhai]

I saw those prices on Amazon! Cant find them on ebay at the moment, unless I'm searching wrong! Looks like one of the best places to buy on ebay is from actionfigurevault. Anyone buy from that seller? Seems to have great feedback.....

Uhhhhhhh. Nope.

where do you get that?? I am hearing complaints about getting obscure and concept type characters....even some are complaining about getting NA and POP

If we didn't have the MOTU Vintage characters,we would'nt be getting anything else at all...

 

[Zodach]

But they haven't gone 100% hardcore vintage yet and they won't until 2014 (if it happens). Even this year we are getting Netossa, Karatti, and the Fighting Foe Men. Certainly there are fans of those figures, but I don't think they help sell any subscriptions especially at current prices.

They need to go right to the top of the most wanted list and work their way down ASAP. I'm going to be really upset if the Horde Troopers don't make the cut in 2013 with 2014 being up in the air at this point.

I think you're misreading what he's saying. He' saying the opposite of what you think he's saying.

 

[teemu]

yep! I misread

I honestly think that after this year,if we get a Sub at all,they are going
to seriously cut back the sku's to maybe 6 figures in '14

 

[samueljd]

Did anybody else get charged for Ram Man and Jitsu yet? I just got charged today.

 

[Kuzeh]

I got a reminder, but no charge yet... if they did, WTF? Well, what a surprise... it's DR...
