Ask Mattel > March 15, 2010
1.) If the DC vs. MOTU packs sell well at Toys ‘R Us, would Mattel consider introducing more MOTUC product at retail? At this point, at least in 2010, the MOTUC vs. DCUC two-packs will be the only way to find MOTU at retail. 2.) Given the immediate success of a larger MOTU item like [...]
Happy Moss Man Day!
I get a nice break from the hell of ordering from Mattycollector this month, but for those of you who don’t, use this thread to document your experience. Don’t forget that aside from the flocked ears/unflocked ears Moss Man, there’s also the Stratos reissue, DCUC 12 boxed set, and Movie Masters business suit Scarecrow. All-in-one [...]
Review > Eclipso (DC Universe Classics)
Eclipso made his debut in House of Secrets #61 in 1963. Over the years he has caused trouble for none other than Batman, The Outsiders, and The Metal Men.

I’d also like to take this opportunity to reiterate Matty’s rules regarding questions: We cannot answer questions about [...]

Ta-Torr, Heroic Master of Potatoes
PGPoA art director MechaShiva whipped (ha!) up this spud-tacular rendition of a MOTUC-ized Mr. Potato Head for PGPoA Power Pal PrfktTear. Totally tuberoid, dude. I’ll stop now.
MOTUC weapons pack priced at $12
Most of us thought the MOTUC weapons pack was going to be $15, but apparently it’s $12. I bet those $3 make a huge difference to the wafflers. I smell another sell-out. They’ve also added a page for Evil-lyn and pushed the sale back to April 19.
