There was a lot of information on this topic that didn’t make it into the video, so feel free to ask questions and check out the sites I referenced.

This is your monthly reminder, collectors! On sale today is MOTUC Moss Man. Both versions of Moss Man will be on sale, but I think the version with the flocked ears will be limited in quantity since those were from before the running change to remove the flock from the ears as fans demanded. Reissue Stratos will also be available for sale. MOTUC collectors finally get a fairly light month with just that figure and reissue.

Also on sale will be DCUC Wave 12 as a set. This is the wave with Darksied as the Collect ‘n Connect figure. The Dark Knight Movie Masters Scarecrow is also up for purchase.

And now for something completely different.

PowetToys Collectors Edition is a new spin-off series to the PowetToys reviews. I wanted an educational video series on the industry and collecting as a whole. This is my attempt in this endeavor. Let me know what you think in the comments!

This is your monthly reminder MOTU fans! At noon EST, Trapjaw will go on sale as the February Club Eternia figure (subscription). Along with him, a reissue of Man-At-Arms will go on sale as well. This month also brings us the first large scale beast in the form of Battlecat. These large scale beasts will be coming out once a quarter. Announced at ToyFair 2010 this past weekend, Tytus and Gygor will be following Battlecat over the next two quarters.

Today marks the kick off of New York Toy Fair 2010 and I am just as eager as everyone else to talk about what is being revealed at the show.

Press releases and sneak peak photos were all over the web starting last night. All the info is after the break.
This post will be kept at the top of the page today since I will be adding updates and news as I find it throughout the day.

Warning: This post may get image heavy as updates continue to come in.

The latest issue of Toyfare, 152, came out yesterday with lots of teasers and announcements as a precursor to this weekend’s New York Toy Fair. Word is racing across the internet that among the announcements was a MOTUC vs DCUC Comic 2-pack exclusive to Toys ‘R Us. The pack will reportedly come with DC Comics Presents #47 where Superman was pitted against the most powerful man in the universe. Pictures of prototypes for a (DC) comic accurate He-Man were leaked on ebay holding the mystery sword and shield accessories shown at the Gallery 88 art show. I’ve included the prototype photos below. The Superman to be included has been said will be the same as that included in the Gotham 5-pack

This is huge news because it will mean the first time any MOTUC figure will be released at retail. This 2-pack is supposedly the first of several. It would appear that there will be a Skeletor 2-pack, but not with whom he might come. Lets hope drums up more interest in He-Man and MOTUC so Mattel will increase their production numbers more and get these figures out to fans that want to buy them but refuse to get in line for Mattel’s shady subscription service.

     

Just a quick reminder to all fans of Masters of the Universe Classics. The reissue Skeletor’s second shipment will be going on sale today at Noon EST. Also keep in mind that this is only half of the full shipment so it will go very fast. Do not wait until later if you are even considering it!

MattyCollector posted an update on facebook:

We’ve just confirmed that Old Bones will arrive in time for a special sale at 12:00 noon Eastern (9:00am Pacific) on Wednesday, January 27th. This figure is identical to the one that sold out in record time on 12/15, so you’re definitely going to want to be logged in and ready to click for your chance at Skeletor®, Evil Lord of Destruction™!

Because the sale date is so close, we don’t have time to get an email reminder into production and won’t be able to send one. If you’re following me on Twitter, I tweet about all sales so I’ll remind you there as well as Facebook.

I’ll try to post a reminder for that morning so you loyal readers do not forget. Remember that this is only half a full allocation and it going to sell out VERY quickly, so be prompt about ordering at noon or even a couple minutes before if you can.
