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.

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

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
