A long awaited day has finally arrived!! I think we&#8217;d all heard the rumors of the 2015 mini-sub being based on the MO2K (I still don&#8217;t like to call it 200x) series! I have nominated, whined, and downright bugged the folks at Mattel for a handful of figures and among them is the blink-and-you&#8217;ll-miss-him Calix. I have no idea what his back story will be and I don&#8217;t care. There was just something about the big rocky Horde member turned to gravel that struck a chord with me. And now we have our chance to pick him up with Club&#8230; Club 200x! <\/p>\n<p>In our post-ToyGuru-MOTUWorld, the word that might best sum everything up is low-key. I got up extra early this morning to be ready for the news, reveals, hints, teases, what-have-you, coming from the Mattel presentation, but what seemed to happen was hardly an event. The MO2k Sub wasn&#8217;t really even announced so much as there was just a <A href=\"http:\/\/www.actionfigureinsider.com\/mattel-announces-motuc-200x-mini-subscription\/\" target=\"_Blank\">poster in the room<\/a> talking about it. Weird times, folks. <\/p>\n<p>While I&#8217;m ecstatic about what we did see, four or five pictures pretty much sum it up. The MO2K sub, or Club 200x, will be on sale from 2\/23 to 3\/23 and feature six figures with a subscription exclusive head pack. Of the six, three have been revealed: Ceratus (Whiplash&#8217;s brother), the aforementioned Calix, &#038; Evilseed! Also revealed was a MO2K head pack featuring MO2K heads for Buzz-Off, Clawful, Snout Spout, Roboto, &#038; Sy-Klone! I think it&#8217;s a cool thing, but I kinda need Matty to offer up some of those guys again (and they won&#8217;t\/can&#8217;t) to make it worthwhile. The aftermarket prices on many of those are more than I care to pay to use the head. Except for Clawful, of course, that sucker is going straight on my figure. Mattel provided three press pics and poor Calix got a really badly shopped one: <\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/news.mattycollector.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Calix_001_600px.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"newsimages\/tf2015\/calixTN.jpg\" height=\"300px\"><\/a><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/news.mattycollector.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Ceratus_001_600px.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"newsimages\/tf2015\/evilseedTN.jpg\" height=\"300px\"><\/a><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/news.mattycollector.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/EvilSeed_001_600px.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"newsimages\/tf2015\/ceratusTN.jpg\" height=\"300px\"><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><center>Calix: 7\/15<\/center><\/td>\n<td><center>Evilseed: 8\/15<\/center><\/td>\n<td><center>Ceratus: 10\/15<\/center><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Mattel didn&#8217;t provide press pics for the head-pack, but you can see them and much better pics of everyone but Ceratus in both ToyArk <A href=\"http:\/\/news.toyark.com\/2015\/02\/15\/mattel-masters-universe-classics-toy-fair-2015-152026\" target=\"_Blank\">Mattel Showroom Gallery<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Club Eternia subscribers weren&#8217;t without reveals, POP favorite Peekablue and NA Fan&#8217;s Choice Winner Mara were on-hand.
