Matty’s Full March-June Schedule! Hordak, Mer-Man, & Faker Reissues
On the MattyCollector News page, Matty has updated their full March through June schedule. Most of it is the same, but we do get our first word of reissues for Hordak, Mer-Man, and Faker.
Mr. Rant can’t explain why Battle Stands were a one-time deal…
It all started out so innocent. The MOTU display stands had sold out, and one forlorn fan just wanted to know when they would show up again on MattyCollector.Com. So he made the arduous trek to the Mattel forum and asked the great Oz. Little did this MOTU fan know that the answer he would receive would start a controversy that spread like wildfire across the sites that cover MOTU Classics.

Trap Jaw Review
Somewhere in the Mattel offices last fall, the folks in charge looked at their 2010 Club Eternia Subscription numbers and were impressed. So much so, that according to Mattel (via ActionFigurePics.Com), they decided that a "small amount" over the subscription would be sufficient for 'day of' sales. To put that in Britney Spears terms, "oops". Fans were already aware of the limited production amount available on Feb 16th thanks to Adora, but that's not to say that we were prepared.

ItsAllTrueReview: DC Classics – Darkseid & Desaad
So yeah, I wasn't looking forward to DCUC12 back when the photos were leaked. Desaad, I was happy with, but Darkseid was a different story. It's not that there was anything wrong with the figure, I just let myself get excited thinking it might be more true to the Super Powers version. I started to think about the cape, the medallion, and the general look of the Super Powers figure. Y'know, the one that got me interested in Darkseid in the first place and that’s what I started hoping to get. I love that version. When I read Darkseid’s appearances in the comics, I still hear Frank Welker's deep, husky Darkseid voice.*
