MOTUC Wun-Dar Video Preview
Pixel Dan has posted his latest preview up and this time it is Wun-Dar.
MOTUC updates
I vanish for one week and it seems like the entire MOTUC world has gone crazy. Let us start off with some first looks at TheFwoosh.com of Moss Manfollowed by a figure that I will not be getting Wun-Dar. I did not get into the fandom till the release of Webstor which is not a fan favor but I have always liked that figure. This means I missed the subscription to the club which means no Wun-Dar for me.
A first look at Evil-Lyn was also done which I have some mixed emotions on as I am not that big on the yellow skin. Finally a review of the Weapon Pak was posted up as well. Since I do not open my figures, I will probably pass on this as well.
The Battle Beasts are Back!
MOTUC Toy Fair Video Round-Up
Pixel Dan has posted a video summary of the MOTUC Videos of the New York Toy Fair.
MOTUC Toy Fair Round-Up
Mattel has revealed some rather unexpected new figures for the MOTUC line. In 2010, we can expect the following:
- Optikk
- She-Ra (with interchangeable heads and removable tiara)
- Count Marzo (with amulet and sword)
- Whiplash (with classic and 200X heads)
- Keldor (with twin power swords and acid vial
- Tytus
- Gygor
- Weapons Pack
Also for the first time in a long time, we will see He-Man in the stores with a pair of Toys "R" Us Exclusive DC/MOTUC 2-packs with He-Man Vs Superman being the first set and a second set which will feature Skeletor Vs Lex Luthor. ActionFigurePics.com has the best gallery I have seen so check them out.
ActionMaster StarScream
Today, I finally got around to open some of the eBay boxes that I have around and found my ActionMaster StarScream in the stack. I know most TransFormers fans are NOT huge fans of the ActionMasters but I really want to complete this part of my collection and he is one of the last few I need to get to finish off that series of TransFormers.
Shockwave in Transformers: War For Cybertron
For the obsessed TransFormers fans: You may want to pre-order your copy of Transformers: War For Cybertron from GameSpot, as this edition offers the one-eyed Shockwave as a bonus multiplayer character.
Shockwave is a rather interesting character from the Generation One era. In the comics, he wanted to rule the Evil Decepticons by himself. But in the G1 TV show, he was a completely loyal servant of Megatron. It will be interesting to see which "version" of Shockwave we see in this game (which looks amazing so far).
Mattycollector.com Updates
The Fine folks over at He-Man.ORG have posted what is the latest happenings over at Matty's
Hey Toy Fans,
They say when it rains, it pours, and they ain’t kidding. We’ve had so much news in the last week on our 2/15 sale, we’re just going to roll it all into one big story. So here’s what’s up…
February 15th Sale is Moving to Tuesday, February 16th
Turns out we were misinformed when we posted on Facebook that our sale would be staying on Monday, February 15th. Our customer service team does indeed have the day off (although a skeleton crew will be available) and because we have so many hotly anticipated items going onsale, we’ve decided it’s better to push the sale to Tuesday, February 16th to ensure we have the support we need for a smooth sale.
SUBSCRIBERS, PLEASE NOTE: Your standard monthly “renewal” notice will still be automatically sent on February 15th, but all orders will begin shipping on February 16th (including subscriptions).
Wun-Dar™ Shipping April 15th
Even the Power of Grayskull™ can’t save our shipping conundrum… we just found out we’re not going have our full quota of Wun-Dar™ figures in time to ship with the 2/16sale items. Rather than split shipments so some subscribers get him in February and some in April, we’re going to hold all Wun-Dar™ figures and the Eternia® maps for mid-April shipment with Evil-Lyn®. Rest assured, although it’ll be a little later than we thought, your subscribers-only Wun-Dar™ and Eternia® map are coming!
Battle Cat® Shipping Costs
Many fans have asked if it will cost more to ship Battle Cat® because he’s bigger and heavier than other figures, and the answer is yes. Our standard figures weigh about one pound, while the beefy Battle Cat® tips the scale at over two pounds. The additional cost for shipping will depend on where it’s shipped and the shipping method. When you purchase him, you’ll see the actual charge in your cart before the final check out.
Subscribers-Only Savings on Battle Cat®
Along with the guarantee of getting every main MOTU character eachmonth, and the exclusive Wun-Dar™ figure and map of Eternia™ coming in April, we promised some cool stuff when we offered our 2010 ClubEternia™ subscriptions. Subscribers, keep an eye on your inbox, because we’re going to send you an exclusive coupon code good for $8 off BattleCat®! Just enter your code at checkout and $8 will automatically be deducted from your total order as long as there’s at least one BattleCat® in your cart. (Please note: each subscriber will receive ONE coupon good for a total of $8 off, regardless of the number of subscriptions you have or the number of Battle Cat® figures you purchase.)
Okay, that’s enough news for now!
