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 our complete schedule through June:

MOTU Classics: Moss Man – Flocked Ears
MOTU Classics: Moss Man – Unflocked Ears
(Club Eterniaâ„¢ monthly figure)
DCUC Wave 12 Boxed Set (Darkseid)
The Dark Knight Scarecrow

April
MOTU Classics: Wun-Darâ„¢ & Map of Eternia

MOTU Classics: Hordakâ„¢ (re-issue)
MOTU Classics: Evil-Lyn (Club Eterniaâ„¢ monthly figure)
MOTU Ultimate Battle Ground Weapons Pak
Ghostbustersâ„¢ 12″ Peter Venkmanâ„¢
The Dark Knight Batman (Night Vision)

May
MOTC Classics: Mer-Man (re-issue)
MOTU “Oversized”: Tytusâ„¢
MOTU Classics: Optikkâ„¢ (Club Eterniaâ„¢ monthly figure)

June
MOTU Classics: Faker (re-issue)
MOTU Classics: She-Raâ„¢ (Club Eterniaâ„¢ monthly figure)
DCU JLU Lobo
Ghostbustersâ„¢ 6″ Peter Venkmanâ„¢ with Slimer

As always, these dates are subject to change, but we’ll let you know as soon as we know if anything changes.

Happy collecting!

The only news here is the April Hordak reissue and the June Faker reissue. I imagine the latter is the more exciting reveal for many people.

1.) Extremely nerdy question: Now that we’re getting a He-Man/Superman 2-pack at retail, does that mean the events of DC Comics Presents #47 are canon in the MOTUC universe–or is this a “What If?” scenario?

There actually isn’t an official 100% canon for MOTU. Each tale, whether told in a movie, TV series, comic book, toy bio or your imagination is its own story and equally valid. [Poe’s note — I was asking whether this story was canon in the specific MOTUC canon they’re building in the bios.]

2.) Is there any chance of other DC/MOTU collaborations now–perhaps a trade paperback reissue of the original DC 3-issue MOTU miniseries, or even a new MOTUC comic series? (more…)
