Modern Masters of the Universe

Yeah, I kind of dig they are doing those too.

Man, I'm old school.  Only want the figures I know / had when I was a kid!

Does anyone know if the MOTU presentation can be found online?

Managed to buy He-Ro and Egon Spengler on MattyCollector.com this morning.  This time the red screen wasn't too bad and refreshed to each screen after about a minute on each page.

I got those same two, no red screen at all for me. I'm utterly shocked how easy that was this time around.

I am stuck in the red screen - all I want is a Egon and Cars set - damn.


UPDATE - After having the Red screen refresh at me for 30 minutes I went looking to see if I could find a discount code for them to save on shipping - no such luck but I was able to find a way into the site that got me pass the red screen and placed my order.

It looks like the only one of the Matty exclusives that has sold out so far is He-Ro, sort of surprising to me.

I went ahead and sprung for the 2010 subscription plan today.  I debated on it and waited, but figured it would be easier and I didn't want to forget about before the Aug 7th deadline.  I really like what is on the way for the line this year, and next, and I'm glad that I actually got in on the "ground floor" for once with one of these lines.  Now I just have to worry about getting Tri-Klops on the 17th, and then see how the "bonus figures" go this/next year.  I really don't want to miss out on Battle Cat.

I took a pass on He-Ro. I'm really starting to reevaluate my interest in this line, especially since there will be bonus figures next year, and I can barely afford one of these a month as it is.
That and MAA really doesn't feel like he's worth $30 to me, and Tri-Klops looks like a bigger offender on that front.

I was wondering how long it would take me to make a post like this.

I took a pass on He-Ro as well.  I've been spending way too much lately the way it is, and to be honest - aside from his name - I can't say I'm overly familiar with the character anyways.  With this line, I've always wanted to stick to the characters I know/remember from childhood - which is why I'll be passing on bonus figures like "Green Goddess" as well.  I hear ya though Ben, this line is pricey.  One figure a month isn't so bad (although spendy), but if it gets to two it could start adding up.  I'm wondering how much they are going to charge for that Battle Cat (which I must have ) - I'm guessing at least $30.

[ruiner]

Pretty sure it's been confirmed at $30.

It has and $30 is a steal for Battle Cat when they're charging $20 per figure.

Matty's Facebook Page has updated with news/pics that He-Man and Skeletor will be re-released in December.  It looks like the packaging is just slightly different (with a "the original" burst on the bubble), but they seem to be the same otherwise.  Good to know that those who got in late will have another chance at the two big guns.

YAY!!!
Hopefully the production run is large enough that I actually get them.  I was able to get 5 months worth of figures without problem, but have missed the last two (although I have been online when they are made available).

I caved today and bought the 2010 MOTU subscription.  I was going to just buy them individually so I could combine shipping with the bonus figures like Battlecat but then something may have went wrong.  This line is getting expensive this month.  $30 plus for He-Ro, $20 Subscription +++(charged $50 plus to sign-up) and then in 10 days Tri-Clops.
