Masters of the Universe Classics

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

In my case, I've been trying to update my CC with them for almost 4mos now. I've missed getting Castle Grayskullman and Mosquitor, because DR couldn't get it right (the other figures I had to buy off of EBay).

DR hadn't updated my 2013 Sub with my new CC either, so I called them to reinstate my order a few days ago. Yesterday they tried to process both Netossa and my February figures as two separate charges. The February figures went through, but for some reason Netossa didn't (I don't want her anyway, so hopefully they don't try charging for her again).

Long story short, I think they were just trying to get both months done at once, since we're getting close to February anyway.

I think they're just full of stupid. Their contracting department must have given Bryan Stockton some amazing head.

Does anyone think there's a chance we will get more vehicles in this line? It will be a shame if the Battle Ram doesn't get made, but with the Wind Raider still in stock I don't see it happening soon.

I would love it if they shipped Ram Man and Jitsu early...

So, in other news...
anybody here has been reading the MOTU comics?
They are fairly good, a bit hit and miss... but some good stuff...

The best is always Dave Wilkins' art!!

Bit bored tonight with the other half on a night out. Still in the process of painting Greyskull up but thought I'd have a little fun with a paint and photo app on my phone...

Who's that you have in the doorway?

Jonny Storm Marvel Universe figure. it's a perfect height to sell the scale of the castle.

Just edited and cleaned up the pic a bit. Added details to the figure making him more recognisable...I love my iPhone! Ha.

Has anyone bought off actionfigurevault77 on ebay? He seems to have great feedback and heaps of MOTU figures in stock. Just wanted to get any confirmation on the forums here.

Does he only only sell via ebay, or does he do direct PayPal invoices with a discount?

Thanks!

 

[Kuzeh]

I've never purchased anything from them,
but they seem to have a huge variety of MOTUC and other lines... they have great feedback apparently too...

Some news:

I think my question got buried , wondering if any news on the MOTUC tiered stands ?

TG: Look for an update at our collector event on Sunday!


If we've learned anything from the near miss of 2013, it's that it's never too early to think about 2014. Since subs have to close by August to plan for a full year, can we get the 2014 subs on sale before San Diego Comic Con? A mere few weeks is not enough time to leave the subs open and meet the quota. What worked for 2011 and 2012 might not work for 2014, times are different, the fan base is different, and the line is different.

TG: At this point we don't even know if there will be a 2014 line. But if we get one we may open the subs buy in earlier knowing figure reveals will still not be until SDCC.

So the tiered stands are coming...
Hopefully they improved them, since I wasn't too crazy about them...

And seems also that it's never too soon to panic regarding the 2014 sub or lack of thereof...

 

[teemu]

they have to know there are doing a 2014 Sub by now....figures are planned out 9 months to a year in advanced.

I think we have this year and 2014 left and then were done.likely we'll see less in '14 giving us 6-12 figures...

If we don't get the 2014 sub (because of lack of subscriptions sales),whatever they show at SDCC will be it and they will show up as convention exclusives somewhere

Two-bad and Mantenna finishes up 1982-1985 which will lose some customers there aswell..

overall, there is just too much complaining about overall costs for these figures and character selection for the line to go on..
