Masters of the Universe Classics

[toyman]

Well, I figured this news deserved its own thread!! Apparently Mattel is at the NYCC and is displaying a brand new King Grayskull figure in its package from the brand new MOTU Classics line . The only picture found on the net so far is pretty grainy, but the report is legit. Hopefully they will announce more plans during their collector panel on Saturday.

And for those of you asking, King Grayskull is a character from one of the season 2 episodes of the new MOTU cartoon series.

Count me in with this line - can't wait to see pics!

So, like the cold-cast statues, does anyone know if this line will be compatible with what they have already made (as in the recent stuff from a few years ago)? I would really hate to have to reinvest in a new line of the same stuff.

From the early report, they are a little bulkier.

Apparently the figure is not in the case now that the con is open. The only thing Mattel has in the case right now is a vintage "Wonder Bread" He-Man. The new stuff is supposedly going to be revealed at Mattel's MOTU collector panel tomorrow afternoon.

It's going to be very hard to sleep tonight

Wow, I must have that! Sadly, with a new house there is no way I'm getting to San Diego. Anyone taking orders that is going?

Wow, a whole new line, this is great news. I wonder what kind of price point we are looking at for the figures. And please let's hope the He-Man and Skeletor variants are kept to a minimum

There were a few updates from the Mattel q'n'a session. They said the line will be similiar to the Mattel DC Universe line currently in stores, so I'm guessing the pricepoint will be around $8-12. They also said that the waves will be evenly shipped, so that means no cases with six Skeletors and one Beastman. They also stated that they are definately listening to the collectors on this line as it is not going to be a kid-oriented line.
