MOTUC & DCUC Comic Packs coming to TRU
 
Even though I'm quitting DCUC myself, it looks like Mattel has found a way to suck me back in... At least for a few more figures.

This is cool news. I'm glad that MOTUC figures will be at Toys R Us.

For the 2 packs there will probably be issues with scale though, because MOTUC figures are bigger than DCUC.

Newton Gimmick 02-13-2010 05:32 PM

Yeah they don't really work for the idea they're going for, but the toys are cool.

GK Punk 02-15-2010 04:30 PM

That's kind of awesome. Does this mean future figures will be available at TRU, or just the two packs of He-Man/Superman and Skeletor/Luthor? I always miss out on the MotU figs on Matty Collector. All I was able to get was He-Man and Beastman and King Grayskull. I'd love a chance at getting some of the others I missed.

More toylines should do the 2-pack and comic deal.

Releasing these in the UK would be nice too :)

I'm very excited about the dcuc and masters of the universe figures coming out this year.
I'm super excited about the new trap jaw coming out tommrow he's always been one of my faves.
I pray the turtles get a toyline as awesome as both of these some day.

I'm sorry to break it to you but he's gonna sell out fast, if I had the extra cash I'd pick one up for you.

Yeah, I'm not expecting them to have one by then. I'll probably have to wait for a reissue but as long as I end up getting him at some point, I'll be content.

VaughnMichael 02-16-2010 12:16 PM

Well GK I didn't even friggin get one Trapjaw sold out in 5 minutes and the site kept messing up....really smart them selling him and battlecat on the same day...:roll:

GK Punk 02-16-2010 03:03 PM

Wow that really, really sucks.

Yeah seems like scalpers and very few fans got one, if you look on mattels facebook page theres thousands of angry fan comments.:ohwell:

GK Punk 02-16-2010 05:34 PM

I also just went and read their forums. WOW. That is some backlash there. They kind of have it coming though. Collecting MotUC has been one of the most frustrating collecting experience I've ever had.

Same here and allot of others feel the same way.

Newton Gimmick 02-16-2010 07:37 PM

I usually don't cover these quick sellouts, but obviously Mattel needs some feedback.

Very nice newton, I agree with all of the things you said 100%, why not take preorders so they know how many to make or something along those lines.

Leo656 02-17-2010 07:00 PM

That's why I don't have any of the Classics, even though I'd love to have all of them. They started the line when I had no internet at all, so you can imagine how thrilled I was. :roll:

These look cool but I'd prefer the "regular" sword colors. They gotta do something for mooks like me who can never get anything online...

Im not sure what you mean here. (Could just be lack of sleep on my part.)

Trust me leo, if you can get a few of these do so. They are incredible and you'll love them.

Leo656 02-17-2010 09:55 PM

Pics I saw in that link He-Man and Skeletor had yellow swords but I just kinda skimmed through it, could be placeholders though. I thought maybe by "comic coloring" the new figs that was part of it. I'unno.

And believe me I would! I love the look of the Classics line, I'm just f*cking broke as hell! :lol:

GK Punk 02-17-2010 09:59 PM

Oh no, He-Man came with a Gray and Silver Sword. (The Hilt was gray like the original figure and the blade is a silver flake kind of) Skeletor's is the same I think but with a purple flake blade.

Leo656 02-17-2010 10:09 PM

When I was a kid my He-Man lost hiw sword, and forever had to settle for one of those blue ones that came in the weapons pack. Sigh. I pretended that's why he never turned back into Adam. :lol:

GK Punk 02-17-2010 10:12 PM

What's cool about these is that He-Man and Skeletor come with 1 half of the Power sword AND a full Power Sword. And they are actually making the weapons pack with the blue sword haha. I used to have a ton of those too.

Leo656 02-17-2010 10:54 PM

I bought one MIP at a flea market about 8 years ago. Still have it. It's in storage with your 2005 Christmas presents. :lol:
