How soon can we expect the MOTUC character selection to branch out beyond the 1982-1983 waves? 2010 will feature both POP and New Adventures characters.

For the record, here’s what Mattel had to say about it: As visitors may have seen, both He-Man and Beastman are now sold out on Mattycollector.com. We knew a few days ago [...]
