not my post,but wanted to share
So first of all, I've never given a con report so I'm just going to bullet point things. Second this isn't all Masters related but the majority is.
I spoke with Cornboy, told him how much I loved pretty much everything they do and then playfully tried to get some new info out of him.
1. He might have been wrong about release dates but he told me Hordak was June's release, MAA was July's, He-Ro was the con release,
Tri-Klops was the August release, Teela was September's, and Webstor would be October's. He would not reveal November and December.
However he did say that November's release would be a huge surprise that no one would see coming. He also went on to say that it
should be more of a deluxe release. I don't know what that means specifically and he would not elaborate. I think he realized that was
something he shouldn't have said and sort of clammed up after that.
2. The base body type for female characters in the MOTUC line were not the same as those used for DCUC. The completed Teela figure on
display proof of this, as the hips are wider and the thighs thicker that the Hawkgirl figure also on display.
3. Webstor was also on display and looked fantastic. I did not ask any questions about him though.
4. Both of the 2-ups for Egon and Ray were on display, but not behind glass. They looked fantastic and you could see the articulation. They
will not have all the same POA that DCUC and MOTUC have. He characterized them as more of a collectible piece and not toys.
5. Bill Murray has NOT yet officially approved his likeness. Cornboy told me that he heard Murray saw and liked the prototype but they need
him to sign off before the figure can be made. There didn't seem to be any worry in his voice about this and Mattel is going forward with
production. Strangely enough, Dan Akroyd does have the legal authority to approve the figure although he won't do so. The 2 up for
Winston will be on display in San Diego.
6. The 12" figures are NOT made by the Horsemen. In fact they had nothing to so with them. It's all Mattel on them.
7. Even he has trouble finding DCUC at retail.
I did not attend any panel discussions b/c no one really shows up at WW Philly unfortunately. Case in point, DC and Marvel were both no-shows. I do have some pictures and will try to upload them later.
