Mattel has provided a quick update on the fate of Moss Man – flocked it is! No pics yet, but here were some of the options presented by Mattel and the industrious and imaginative Masters of the Universe Classics fans.
I imagine the “spot flocked” version to be the closest to what we get, although I am sure that how they actually flock these babies won’t allow for as smooth a transition as presented here.
And for those that missed our interview with Toy Guru, he revealed that Moss Man will have his distinctive smell. Booyah!
Update on Moss Man
Hey He-Fans,
I know all of you have been waiting with baited breath for news on our favorite Eternian Master of Nature and all around nice guy – Moss Man.
As many of you know, we really wanted to fully flock Moss Man just like his vintage counterpart but found that the new levels of articulation were preventing all of the flocking from sticking. While a lot of fans have been asking about new innovations in the flocking industry, to tell you the truth, the process really has not changed that much in the last 30 years!
We tried out a few solutions including not flocking him at all, losing some of the articulation, or partially flocking him.
Well the resounding response from the fans was that Moss Man must be flocked as much as possible. So, with that in mind, we are going to flock Moss Man as much as we can. It won’t be a complete flock due to the joints, but we don’t want to loose any of the awesome articulation either.
We don’t have images yet, but as soon as we do we’ll share them with all the fans.
Until then, good journey!
Matty
