Happy New Year from IAT!

We here at IAT hope everyone had a great time last night. We gathered together for various board game tournaments and five hours of Mario Wii, so we started 2010 off about as unproductive as you can get! And, boy did that first .05% of the year fly by! We're off for today, but we wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for their patronage and for the support we've received over the last six months. We're still surprised at how quickly the site grew and humbled by the traffic we're receiving in our inaugural year. So, a big thank you from all of us at IAT out to each and every one of our readers.

ItsAllTrueReview: MOTU Classics Goddess

If you aren't sure where the Goddess fits into MOTU, that's okay. It's a bit confusing. You could say she was a work-in-progress stage as the creators of MOTU made their way to the Sorceress. The Goddess first appears, as the "Sorceress", in the first mini-comic and bestows powerful vestments onto a barbarian so that he may become He-Man. She appears again in Teela's mini-comic, now referred to as the Goddess, but with Teela's color scheme. After awhile, the cartoon comes along and replaces her outright with the falcon-themed Sorceress and left her consigned to MOTU limbo.

MOTUClassics.Com: King Randor Review

While it's been a frenzy-filled ride of frustration and fun in 2009 for MOTU Collectors, the Classics line has to be the best thing that's happened to He-Man fans since well, ever. MOTU Classics toys have been some of the most fun to review and play with this year. The excitement of opening up a toy every third (usually) week of the month has been something I've grown to really look forward to and hope it will continue to happen for years to come.

Most Requested Year-End Poll: The Finals

Last week, we featured our eighteen Most Requested articles and let you decide which three would be featured in this final round for the IAT Most Requested Figure of 2009.

Before we get to the finalists, we want to thank the hundreds of people that voted in our poll. It was the largest poll turnout we've had yet!

Here are the the finalists in alphabetical order...

MOTU Classics:
Where’s the King?

Here at IAT, we split up our MOTU ordering duties this month. I paid for the subscription Randors and Vaulted ordered the Goddesses. Both of our orders were shipped to us on Wednesday and they should arrive here tomorrow. We happily thought that King Randor went smoothly, but as the week has progressed we learned that was not the case.

If you follow the threads at He-Man.Org, many subscribers are seeing their orders still stuck on "order in progress" up to a week later. Toy Guru has asked for members experiencing this difficulty to post their names and order numbers.
