Masters of the Universe Classics King Randor Carded Pics

Don’t let him hear you call him the Burger King!  Featuring body armor, he’s a lot more menacing than I remember him from the Filmation cartoon.  I’m hoping it’s removable, so you can have him in a more classic look.

And, Randor and Keldor are half-brothers?  The plot thickens!

Update: I can’t believe I didn’t post this right off the bat, but hey, with some different paint apps on that armor, you’ve got the makings of a MOTU Classics Jitsu!  JITSU!!!

For those like me who have trouble discerning the little type, here’s the text from his bio:

King Randor – Heroic Ruler of Eternia

Real Name: Randor of the House of Miro

King Miro’s second born son, Randor, came of age during the Great Unrest, a time when conflict returned to Eternia following the Count Marzo Uprisings and the susequent betrayal by his half-brother Keldor. After the disappearance of his father, Randor was appointed Captain of the Guard and lead Miro’s troops in battle against Keldor’s growing rebellion. Randor eventually ended the battles by fatally wounding Keldor and locking his evil warriors behind the Mystic Wall. For this act he was appointed King by the Council of Elders. King Randor rises his staff exulting his rule over all Eternia.

AFP’s Ask Matty Round-Up for 9/15/9

I was traveling yesterday so wasn’t able to get these posted right away.  Here are the latest questions and answers from Mattel.  Thanks to Mattel and Toy Guru!

DC Comics

1. You’ve been saying for a while that the fate of the JLU line is in collectors’ hands. At the time of this writing, all three 4-packs and the San Diego Comic-Con Green Lantern Origins 3-pack are still available on Mattycollector.com. How are the fans doing with respect to keeping the line alive? How are the new products doing at Target?

New JLU packs are currently available at Target and Mattycollector.com. We are reviewing whether the Mattycollector.com packs, with fan demand playing an important role.

MOTU Classics Webstor and Dark Knight Bank Robber Joker On Sale September 15

Just wanted to post a quick reminder that Mattel should have two items on sale on Mattycollector this Tuesday, September 15, at Noon EST.  First there’s the Masters of the Universe Classics Webstor.  For those of us who signed up for the MOTU Classics subscription, Webstor is the first figure in it – so subscription holders, I know Mattel has us conditioned to hit the site mid-month, but don’t order one unless you want an extra. 😀

Then there’s the Joker as a Gotham City Thug – that’s a mouthful, so I just think of him as Bank Robber Joker.  However, as of this writing, the Mattycollector site does not yet have the Joker listed.  I guess we still have the business day on Monday to get that listed, but I have a nagging feeling that maybe there’s a production or delivery issue that may delay this figure.  We’ll see.

Masters of the Universe Classics Moss Man Flocking Update from Mattel

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.

moss-man-options

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!
