Good news for Masters of the Universe (MOTU) Classics collectors. The latest issue of ToyFare revealed the May Club Eternia figure available exclusively on MattyCollector.com (until all the e-tailers buy them up and sell them for marked up prices). The May figure will be She-Ra’s nemesis Catra. Catra will have both a grey and a red mask to pay tribute to the vintage figure and the cartoon, respectively. Matty’s facebook page showed the rear view of the Catra figure, while you’ll need to pick up the latest ToyFare to see the full frontal (or click the picture on the right). Also announced in ToyFare is that the next DC Universe vs. MOTU Classics 2-pack will be Green Lantern and Zodac (classic white guy, not Zodak, the black guy from 200x sadly). In addition to all this great news, Matty’s facebook page also gave us the skinny on the upcoming release schedule including reissues. Looks like they are going to start doubling up on reissues. Good news for those catching up. Bad news for their wallets.

Here’s the release from Facebook:

Hey He-Fans and She-Ravers,

We’re a little behind getting the latest release info posted on the product pages. We just revealed the latest MOTUC Club Eternia figure – Catra – coming this May only on Mattycollector.com. You can see a full image of her in Toy Fare magazine, on sale now! (along with the next DCU vs MOTU 2 pack, Zodac vs Greeen Lantern!)

You can see the updated release schedule after the jump!

Attention all Masters of the Universe and/or Robot Chicken fans! The Mo-Larr vs Toothless Skeletor 2-pack will be back on sale at MattyCollector.com on Monday January 10th (tomorrow!). The sale will start at the same Matty time, same Matty channel. Noon EST. The sale celebrates the launch of the next season of Robot Chicken which features two new sketches featuring Mo-Larr. The premiere on January 9th (tonight) and the secret origin of Mo-Larr on January 16th. Two new videos were released along with the announcement (above, and after the jump) showing some of the Robot Chicken guys, MOTU brand manager Scott Neitlich and designer Ben Benecke from Mattel. This new stock apparently was originally set aside for Cartoon Network.

You can order Mo-Larr here. There is a limit of 6 per person.

This was too funny not to repost.

Mattel announced today a partnership with video game publisher THQ to turn more of their properties into video games. Mattel’s “Pictionary” game is already available from THQ ahead of this deal.

Obviously, this will mean some more Barbie Horse Adventures, but Mattel’s camp does hold a license that should excite any grown collector or core gamer: Masters Of The Universe.

Do us a big favor THQ, get the guys from Volition and put them on MOTU, using the desgins from the latest Classics toyline. The only way to make Saints Row better is to set it in Eternia and add the ability to carjack Mer-Man.

The year is wrapping up and I figured that this would be the perfect time to take a look back at some of the year’s highlights.
Think I missed an announcement or important piece of news? Discuss it in the comments! I love to hear what you all have to say.

There are a couple of images that don’t appear to have been encoded properly by YouTube during the Highs/Lows segment. The original video was fine and I could not upload it again to YouTube because they said it was a dupe. Imagine the Battle Beast Minimate with a caption of “I want to buy you!”
