So here is the full scoop! <\/P><\/p>\n<p><P>Club Eternia memberships were sold for a four week period during SDCC 2009. If you purchased a membership you will automatically receive and be billed for one new MOTU figure each month. The subscription figures are marked on Mattycollector.com with a gold burst. The Jan. 2010 figurue is Adora, the February figure is Trap Jaw. 2010 memberships are now closed. 2011 memberships will be sold during SDCC 2010 and so on. <\/P><\/p>\n<p><P>If you do not have a membership you can also log on during the 15th of each month and purchase that figure until it is sold out. We can not guarantee every figure unless you have a subscription; these figures will sell out fast! <\/P><\/p>\n<p><P>In addition to the 12 monthly figures, we are also going to offer 2 &#8211; 4 &#8220;bonus&#8221; figures each year, usually at the end of each quarter. These figures will be A-list hero and villain updates such as Battle Armor He-Man and King Grayskull. These figures are not included in the subscription program. However, if a standard figure slips schedule (like what happened with Mer-Man in 2009) we may subsitute an upcoming &#8220;bonus&#8221; figure to ensure their is one subscription figure each month. If this does happen it will be announced well in advance. (i.e. several months) <\/P><\/p>\n<p><P>Ideally nothing will slip schedule but we need to have a back up plan just in case! <\/P><\/p>\n<p><P>Finally, in addition to the monthly figures and the bonus figures, we are also looking at doing a few larger items (like Battle Car or army builder 2 packs). These are also not included in the subscription simply because we do not know how many we are doing yet and they will range in price. Eventually we may include these skus in the 2011 subscription if their is enough fan interest in the 2010 skus. <\/P><\/p>\n<p><P>Hopefully this clarifies most questions. Please do feel free to comment and I&#8217;ll check back to answer any other questions about how the Club Eternia subscription works! <\/P><\/p>\n<p><P>Matty.<\/P><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today on Facebook, Matty made a few statements about the role of the bonus figures in MOTUC.
