AFP Ask Matty Round-Up for 4/1/10

Please find below the bi-monthly answers to your “Ask Mattel” questions.  Scott is currently out of the office but asked us to provide answers on his behalf.  We know he is the “Toy Guru” and an expert on all things Matty Collector so to keep the same quality of answers you’re readers are used to, we consulted with an answer expert – please go ahead and post these as the official Mattel answers.  You can go ahead and forward your April 15th questions to Scott directly.

Sometimes, I don’t know why we bother with these Q&A sessions. All we ever get are these non-answers, session after session after session. And even though we are getting our answers from someone else this go around, it’s just more of the same.

1. This may be a little early, but Raven is on my mind with Collect & Connect Trigon coming soon. Is Mattel planning to do another Fan’s Choice for DC Universe Classics in conjunction with Toyfare this year? And with respect to runner-ups from the prior votes, are any of those characters on the table for the upcoming year?

Yes.

Masters of the Universe Classics Moss Man

Flocked body? Check! Pine-smelling scent? Check! Sellout in 4 minutes? Arrgh… Check!

Yes, today we’re taking a look at the latest release in the Masters of the Universe line – Moss Man! I have to admit,  I thought I would have to wait for this figure to be re-issued as I was one of those who missed out on his super-quick sellout on the 15th of March. I pretty much expected it since Mattel had announced that the increased  production runs would not take effect until June’s She Ra. Luckily, a friend was able to pick up an extra Moss Man for me so that I would be able to do this pictorial review. So let’s have a look at this rather unique figure.

Masters of the Universe Classics Stratos Re-Issue

Better late than never? Since I missed out on Stratos the first time around, I figured I’d do a pictorial review of him now that I finally have him with his recent reissue at Mattycollector.com. (As of this writing he has since sold out again.) Let’s have a look, shall we?

With the quick sell-out of Moss Man on Monday this week, I hope those of you who were hoping to pick up a Moss Man were able to. I’m lucky to be on the Club Eternia subscription – I signed on to MattyCollector.com at about 10 minutes after the official start time to pick up Stratos, and both versions of Mossy were already sold out.

I’m hoping that Sandman has his pictorials for these guys up soon. Should be fun!
