With the final pre-order window coming to a close on Monday, I’d like to take a pulse check on where you stand on Castle Grayskull – and no, that’s not a flimsy attempt at escape ledge humor. Up until Toy Fair, we had seen drawings, foam mockups, and teasers – now that the first painted prototype has been shown, what’s the verdict? Has seeing the Castle changed your mind one way or the other?
Time is always running out for you to lock in your future MattyCollector purchases. Through this weekend, you’ve got your chance to commit to the new Masters of the Universe Club Filmation subscription. And if you haven’t yet pulled the trigger on Castle Grayskull the last couple of times that time was running out, well, this is it, for real this time!
