Yesterday might have been considered a disaster for many fans trying to order items off of MattyCollector.com. No information was given for the error pages and ordering issues themselves outside of technical glitches, but Matty has just updated his facebook page with the following message:
SKELETOR UPDATE: To let all He-Fan knows, not all units of old bonehead arrived in time for yesterday’s sale. While this shipment of Skeletor sold out in record time, we’ve now confirmed more are coming (similar to Mer-Man back in April). Hopefully the remaining order will be here in first quarter 2010. As soon as we confirm they’ve arrived, we’ll post an update.
Mattel has a policy about not talking about specific numbers in their shipments, but this was information that needed to be distributed prior to noon yesterday. This was inexcusable.
A reminder to all Masters of the Universe Classics collectors! Burger King look-a-like King Randor (Club Eternia monthly figure), Teela repaint The Goddess (Bonus figure), and Skeletor (Reissue) will all go on sale today, Tuesday, December 15th, at noon, 12:00 EST. The figures are available exclusively at MattyCollector.com.
Reissue Skeletor features a softer loincloth for better leg articulation and a tighter grip on his left hand so he can grip his havok staff better. I believe his shoulders may have originally been reversed like the original He-Man and those should be fixed in this version.
In tribute to the Skeletor® from the 1984 line, a burst with “The Original” has been added to the front right corner of the package. The Skeletor® figure has the left hand corrected for “tight grip,” the face paint is improved, and the bio has been updated to include Demo-Man™.

Social networking has changed the way some companies approach gaming. For some, it enhances the experience. For others, it’s the entire point of the experience. Does integrating gaming with social network make either one better?
DC Universe classics is a hard enough line to collect without having so many store exclusives! I delve into some of whats available now at a few retailers, but if you can’t find the figures featured in this review at your local big box, theres always the amazon links below. Happy Hunting!
