\"\"<\/a>Well, I\u2019m still a little out of breath from all that Super Powers typing, but I\u2019ve at least got to put up a quick article about MOTU Classics before I head for bed (some moron scheduled himself to work eight days straight, right through Toy Fair weekend, and then travel to KC for a meeting on the ninth day \u2013 today is Day 5, if you\u2019re counting at home). <\/p>\n

As I mentioned in the Super Powers article, Mattel has gotten really good about making sure we all see their reveals as quickly as possible. They do this by taking out ace toy reporters into a room and distract them with all the reveals in person. Meanwhile, they upload their own pics and the rest of that can\u2019t attend get to see them first (even this guy whose every plan to attend one somehow always falls through; my reason this time is great, I\u2019ll tell you later). I tease Mattel, but this is honestly great for Armchair Coverage! So let\u2019s get to it. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>First off, let\u2019s talk about the one thing Mattel didn\u2019t reveal online \u2013 this BIG HONKIN\u2019 SKELETOR<\/a> (with He-Man arms, oops!). It looks like Mattel is eyeballing that sweet jumbo money being made by Star Wars & Gentle Giant. The little place cards indicate that this is still up in the air (remember Attitubes?), but I think this has a good chance of coming out. If the price is right *cough*, vintage MOTU fans would prolly love to pick these up (then maybe they\u2019ll be distracted and we get some updates to the Classics figures\u2026 whee\u2026). But, yeah, Mattel wants to know \u2013 would you buy those? And would you at least need them to have the right arms if you do?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Moving on to the good stuff, Mattel officially announced the worst kept secret (at least since Funko\u2019s Game of Thrones): Club\u2026 Etheria<\/em>. 2014 will indeed again have a mini-sub that ships from July to August, this one focusing on and celebrating the 30th Anniversary of She-Ra: Princess of Power. Four reveals were shown, one teased, which is actually awesome. You can sign up knowing what five of the seven figures are! Here\u2019s the line-up:
