AFP Ask Matty Round-Up for 11/1/10

Hey Mattel fans – it’s time for the newest Q&A session of Ask Matty! Thanks to Toy Guru and the gang at Mattel, and happy Monday!

1) Superman/Batman: Apocalypse was recently released, and featured Ed Asner reprising his role as Granny Goodness. What’s it going to take to get a Granny Goodness figure in DC Universe Classics?

Increased fan demand. When the “Crisis on Two Earths” DVD came out there was skyrocketing demand for the Crime Syndicate but that died down soon after. We’ll have to see how Granny’s appearance in this DVD plays out with fans in the long run.

Masters of the Universe Classics Shadow Beast Production Sample Pics and Schedule

How many of you are looking to army build the Shadow Beast? I’m somewhat tempted, but I really am out of display space already!

The move to February will ease the burden on my overtaxed wallet.

Shadow Beast is coming in February 2011

Just got in package samples of Shadow Beast so here are pics for you to check out!

Also, we’ve heard all the feedback from fans that the Jan. 2011 sale is looking a little heavy now that the Palace Guards were pushed off a bit. So we’re going to move the Shadow Beast to Feb. 2011 instead. Remember, the Guards are actually a 2010 product (even though released in Jan. 2011) so they are not part of the 2011 subscription the way Shadow Beast is!

Enjoy!

Results: Masters of the Universe Classics Top Ten Poll

For this article, I asked Ibentmyman-thing to change his name to Ibentmyman-tenna, and he agreed – as long as I acknowledged the greatness that is the Frank Langella Skeletor. Thank you, Benty!

And thank you to all who voted. With over six thousand total votes, this was another big Top Ten. And, I know there were some characters that were omitted, since the list was based on the figures that have seen plastic in the past. VeeBee has promised some follow-ups for these characters on the Fwoosh.

Masters of the Universe Classics Roboto and Schedule Update

I never noticed the swapped shoulders on the original Masters of the Universe Classics He-Man, and I probably wouldn’t have noticed on Roboto either. Bummer for those of you who can’t help seeing them – hopefully they do reissue him with a fix.

With the delay of the Palace Guards set, it means I’ll still have one more visit to MattyCollector.com and the White Screen of Death to contend with. I guess I’ll also be back in the fourth quarter for the vehicle. Yay!
