DCUC Wave 5 returns on Mattycollector May 17th
Sweet zombie Jesus! The word from Mattycollector:
DCU Fans,
Back in 2008, we released Wave 5, which was an instant success and subsequently pretty hard to find. If you missed your chance, mark May 17th on your calendar, because Wave 5 is coming back!
This release is identical to the one in 2008 − same package, same decos, [...]
MOTU vs. DC 2-packs up (and gone) on Toysrus.com
TRU’s website briefly had both MOTU vs. DC 2-packs available on their website. They might come back in stock, so here are the links for future reference:
Superman vs. He-Man
Luthor vs. Skeletor
Note that the site uses incorrect, older stock images–in the actual sets Skeletor comes with a yellow sword, and Luthor does not have his gun.
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.

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.
She-Ra packaging reveal
Mattel unveiled She-Ra’s packaging on their Facebook page yesterday.
Here’s the bio:
Channeling the combined Power of the Universe and the Wisdom of the Elders of Eternia, Adora transforms into She-Ra, the most powerful woman in the Universe. Her strength comes not from brute force but from sheer will and her cunning magical powers and healing abilities. [...]
Eldor prototype card-back revealed
Hollywood Heroes posted this great scoop on the He-Man.org forums–the prototype card back for Eldor. I’d kill for an Eldor in MOTUC (all fantasy realms need a bearded old wizard), so I hope this helps inspire Mattel to get around to him.
As some of you know I represent many former Mattel engineers and designers. We [...]
Mattel MOTUC & DCUC news roundup
Scott Neitlich, a.k.a. ToyGuru, has been pretty chatty over on the Mattycollector forums lately. Here are a few tidbits:
Responding to a question about the card art for Wun-Dar and Trap Jaw, and whether we might see a re-release of the minicomics:
The Wun-Dar art was new, the Trap Jaw art came from a vintage source.
We are [...]
Mattycollector release schedule
Mattel has provided an update on the Mattycollector.com release schedule for the next few months.
Toy Fans,
We do our best to plan when products will be released, but sometimes the production and delivery gods have other ideas. We’ve been doing a bit of the release date shuffle lately and thought it would be helpful to print [...]
Blades and Emeralds
Just a reminder, the Blades of the Demon King and the Emerald Energy Accessories are now on sale at Spy Monkey Creations’ E-store.
