write-up for the 2015 sub<\/a>. Some interesting notes – the sub period will start this Friday, early subscribers can get a free set of display stands, there’ll be a Kowlometer to track progress. That’s cool, but there was also this little tidbit: <\/p>\nAnd second, this year subscriptions are limited to a set number, and once we hit that amount, that\u2019s it\u2026 no more subscriptions will be sold.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\nIs this just a new marketing strategy to try to break up the usual cadence to how the subs sell? Do collectors need to show Mattel higher-ups more enthusiasm in the opening days? Is this new cap lower or the same as the number of folks who signed up last year? We’ll likely never know – and truthfully, it doesn’t matter. As the drama of Mattel subscriptions is about to set itself upon us this weekend, this is as good a time as any to remind everyone to enjoy their toys. If you want to sign up for MOTUC, do so; if you don’t, don’t. If you have signed up, don’t try & bully those around you into doing the same. If you don’t want to sign up, don’t hang around ad nauseum and bash Mattel or those who did sign up, just move along. Let’s see if we can get through this last subscription<\/em> push with our hairlines intact and ample respect for each other, okay?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![](\"http:\/\/itsalltrue.net\/reviews\/thumbs\/zoar01n.png\")

Earlier this week, Mattycollector posted the image at right on their Facebook page<\/A>. It caught a few of us by surprise as the possibility of figures in 2016 had been bandied about. Toyguru later clarified on the on the Matty Collector forums<\/a> that, “After we see how 2015 sells we can start to look into a potential 2016 line. But it certainly won’t be called classics and be on green brick cards.”<\/em> So the line as is will end next December, but the possibility for more remains. Though with rising costs and the line being nearly eight years old at that point, I wouldn’t hold my breath. I’d love to be wrong. <\/p>\n
