Otherwise very excited to start looking at 2016 and beyond. I can tell you quite a few of the figures on this results list are in the works already and at least two will be shown at SDCC!

Also, the only concept characters that are being considered are the ones that were in the 2009 Mattel Art Book. Not surprising, but a little bit of a bummer. Truthfully, though, I'll be happy if we get through 2015. All the rest is just icing on the cake.

yeah those two figures will be Dylamug and Granita at SDCC....only a few others (Despera,Tuskador,Lodar) from that list are trademarked

 

[teemu]

Not questioning the veracity of your predictions, just curious, what's the reasoning for the guesses? I hope you're wrong about Despara being the sub exclusive because I really want her and no way in hell would I sub.

Dylamug could potentially be very cool. Multibot despite technically being Horde I don't see myself buying… but then again I said the same thing about Modulok.

picked Despera because she is Obscure and is in the Mini-comic (with UNO) at the End where she will continue into the next comic.It would only makes sense the Sub Exclusive would be her with her featured in the next mini comic for 2015....plus she was recently trademarked...so a figure is planned

There seems to be a bit of an explosion of Horde characters at the moment… which I am quite happy about. I guess they are one of the biggest factions to pull characters from.

I really want Stridor,but its not looking like he is showing up anytime soon...Multi-bot is locked in....Dragstor probably too,but I don't understand Mattel's hold up getting these trademarked...Dragstor,Ninjor and Stridor's names are available for $159 each hehehe

 

[dedguy]

They seem to hate making new beasts or vehicles.

 

[JonWes]

It seemed like, for a while, Stridor was a lock. But that seems to have changed, sadly.

 

[evenflow]

I have to dig out the art book but does anyone remember if the Horde Mummy was in there?

Seriously.. what the hell is going on over at Matty's headquarters these days?

Busy jumping over Landsharks.

Ugh! Tacky and stupid! Great job Mattel!!

 

[KingGrayskull]

Personally I would love to see some more NA toys. Most of all I really want a Sagitar and Darius aswell as Mara. Yet to be honest Id buy every Classics version of the old NA figures and a true Classics collection will never feel complete without them...

 

[teemu]

Ugh! Tacky and stupid! Great job Mattel!!

people will buy it too....talk about a waste of money and impulse buy from any MOTU collector

I think this Doll is exactly how Mattel and Toyguru has been treating its paying customers since the begginning...LIKE BABIES! and if you don't buy it,I guess were NOT real fans as the description basically says "For the Real MOTUC fan"

 

[Is-rael]

Add insult to injury. At $35 + Matty shipping/tax = around $48 for this!

 

[Eamon]

That baby is unsettling. It's even not stylised or cartoon shaped or anything. It literally is a regular looking baby painted blue with an add looking Skeletor halloween mask. Very odd methinks.

 

[Desamo]

Skeletor baby looks ugly and waste of money.

 

[teemu]

Mattel will say there is not enough demand for things like Battle Ram,Land Shark,Stridor etc...but they will make garbage like this that nobody asked for

Here's another private joke for us fans... the 2015 sub drive!

 

[teemu]

Here's another private joke for us fans... the 2015 sub drive!

not buying....going cherry picker,and that's if we even get a full 2015 line...the only way 2015 goes through is if Mattel forces it through themselves.
I am done buying figures I don't want and can't re-sell...

There really isn't much left that's worth paying $27-$30 per figure for, plus another $11-15 shipping tacked on

 

[dedguy]

Yeah these things costing $40+ is killer, if you sub it ends up being what? About $500 a year?
