Mattel updated their Facebook page again yesterday. Here are the highlights:
Mossy is already in production. If (and that is an ‘if”) we can effect a change it means some fans will get flocked ears, some no flock. And it will be random. Are you okay with that?
Ugh. Get ready for $100 no-flocked-ears Moss Men on eBay. Still, I have to say that in this instance, I am OK with it–basically because I don’t care enough about Moss Man for it to matter to me whether mine has flocked ears or not, so why deprive others if they really want it?
Here’s my question on this, though. So far, Mattel has only asked this question to fans on Facebook and He-Man.org. There’s no real method to this madness, aside from Super-Munkyboy’s informal poll. So will Mattel be basing their decision on whatever they perceive to be the vague consensus from these two sources? It just seems like they should at least run their own poll on Mattycollector or something.
Second, we had a great meeting with Digital River today and it looks like the bugs have been worked out. We’ll also be updating the FAQ on the site to review the return policy as well as offer more information. If you are still having issues with an order, post your order number on Facebook and we’ll get it resolved.
Not holding my breath on this one, but if my Adora arrives before my BA He-Man this month, I’ll be pleasantly surprised.
And if you are in the LA area, be sure to check out the MOTU art show opening this weekend. Aside from some great artistic interpretations of the MOTU world, you can also check out a display of all the MOTUC figures as well as some upcoming releases and a new figure to be revealed Friday night! (hint: it is a celebrity figure and will be one of our SDCC MOTUC items).
A “celebrity” figure? What does that mean? It could just be a play on words, and by “celebrity” he only means “very popular MOTUC character” (I’m going to guess Orko, if that’s the case). Another theory is that it might be a MOTUC figure designed by one of the artists at the event.
Or, it could be Lundgren He-Man or Langella Skeletor.
