Mattel revealed two more MOTU Classics Bios yesterday with packaging reveals for July’s Spikor and August’s Sir Laser-Lot. Spikor gave Mattel an interesting opportunity to provide back story to a relatively clean-slate vintage character, but it was Sir Laser-Lot’s bio that snagged the fan’s attention.
With the June MOTUC figures going on sale this week, I figured I’d better get the checklist at MOTUClassics.Com up to date. The Upcoming Releases page is now current, including the reissues for June and the 2012 page is now updated and links to reviews have been added.
Even though I'd never seen the space He-Man cartoon, I do remember looking through the toys at Kaybee. The two that intrigued me the most were Optikk and Slush Head. Guess I wasn’t alone since those were the first two villains Matty chose.
Mattycollector announced another upcoming MOTU Classic via a “sneak peek” e-mail to Club Eternia members. I was again left off the mailing list, but it didn’t take long for news of Dragon Blaster Skeletor to make his way to me. I gotta tell you though, I'm not in love with it.
We’re a little behind on our MOTU reviews, so I thought I’d end this week with a look at the first figure in the 30th Anniversary sub-line: Draego-Man! This guy so impressive, he's easily become one of my favorite figures in the line so far.
Mattycollector announced the upcoming October figure via a “sneak peek” e-mail for Club Eternia members. I’d outright tell you who it is, but I thought I’d preserve the “click to see” aspect of the e-mail. Not that I got the e-mail myself... I mean, why would I? I’m just a subscriber...
