As last week was drifting into the weekend, we got a few news tidbits from Mattel. First was the update to tomorrow's Mad Monday sale that we reported on previously and then came our first look at the biographies for the two MOTU Classics figures shipping in September: Leech & Hurricane Hordak.
I'm a little late on this news, but Mattel uploaded a half dozen pics of Swamp Thing on their Facebook page earlier today. Look, I never want to be the guy that decries things that are new or different upfront. And I'm willing to give this Swampy a try, but looking at these pics I do kinda wish Mattel had just kept it simple.
I spent most of last week (my week "off" from doing reviews) updating the checklists at MOTUClassics.Com, DCClassics.com, etc. Wouldn't you know that as soon as I was caught up, Mattel jumped right in and started filling up my to-do list! Mattel has posted two new MOTU bios on Facebook: Clawful & the Faceless One.
It seems like it's been awhile since we've gotten a Matty Facebook reveal. I think next week's Sy-Klone was the last one? Anyway, Mattel has given us our first look at Battleground Teela in package on their Facebook page. As usual, the figure looks great and the bio is... well, it is what it is
Thought that 3 minute sellout seemed a little fishy? Well, it turns out that not all the Vikor's made it to Digital River in time for the sale. In a separate announcement, Mattel also let us know how they're dealing with the glitch that left many fans unable to add the battles stands to their order today.
Today on Facebook, Mattel unloaded three new bios and packaged shots of three upcoming February 2011 Club Eternia figures: Bow, Battle Armor Skeletor, & the subscription figure Preternia Disguise He-Man. The figures always look good in package and the bios are the usual mix of interesting and cringeworthy...
There's some scheduling changes afoot in MOTUland. Vikor's running ahead, Bow's running late, and a change has been made! To soothe us over in these troubled times, we've been given Vikor's bio and the MOTUClassics.Com Bio section has been given a major upgrade. It's ten tons cooler than before...
