Mattel Wants to Know Why You’ve Stopped Collecting MOTUC

Mattel He-Man Masters of the Universe Classics Fisto 6" Action FigureHave you slowed down, or stopped altogether, on collecting Masters of the Universe Classics? Mattel wants to know why. There’s an official Mattel poll over on He-Man.org, posted by Scott Neitlich (AKA ToyGuru) asking why you’ve changed your MOTUC collecting habits. If you’re still a happy, passionate collector, you need not take the poll. However, if you are feeling lackluster in regards to MOTUC, take the poll and let Mattel know why. This seems like a great way to crowd source and maybe help Mattel make some changes to the line that will help it in the long run.

Brandon Asks: When the C&C Nekron was released, it was indicated that you guys would work hard to find a way to release the Scythe, which didn’t cost out at the time. Is this still in the works or should DCUC fans be trying to get the DC Direct accessory or finding something workable elsewhere?

We’re always looking into way to release older items. Sometimes it takes months, other times years, but we do try!

 

 

Black Arbor asks: I don’t expect as diverse a character selection as DC Universe Classics at retail ever again, but will the Batman unlimited/ DC unlimited lines have a good selection of characters (both heroes and villains) and not just variations of main characters?
