Sorry, I don't get the 4 Sub figures for February.
As far as I know these figures will be released on that month:
_Bow
_Shadow Beast
_Battle Armor Skeletor (not confirmed, or is he?)
_ ??

I think Preternian He-man is the 4th.

**Daniel Lynch** · January 10, 2011, 03:39pm

Wait... Skeletor is February?

That's an expensive month. Ouch.

And I gotta go update the checklist...

**demiscy** · January 10, 2011, 03:40pm

Wasnt BA Skeletor moved to March"?

Wasn't Preternia He-Man scheduled to be released on March-April as last year's Wundar? Besides, that figure has been paid already.
Regarding shipping cost, it should not have any extra charges if being sent with the other ones. Well, that's what I suppose though.

**Tuukka** · January 10, 2011, 04:28pm

Say what !?!? Customers need to order equal amount of subs betweem MOTU & GB ???

Really.. how ridiculous is that.

Dear God Mattel.. your logistics really s_ck.

**SCB** · January 10, 2011, 04:32pm

Wun-Dar was scheduled to be February. He got delayed til April.

So

Shadow Beast
Bow
Pre-Eternia He-Man
Battle Armor Skeletor

March: King Hsss
April: Sy-Klone, Panthor, Weapons Rack?
May: Female figure

If that is true, I am 100% OK with that because it will take THAT much other coolness to cancel out Bow.

(I'm sorry! I just can't HELP myself!

)

**Uki** · January 10, 2011, 05:58pm

I really want that older Search for Keldor version of Randor! More than the 200X version, in fact, although I'd love that as well as a Captain Randor figure before all is said and done.

Not really.

nope. preternia he-man doesn't count as a quarterly figure.

He is a sub exclusive figure and doesn't fall into the other categories.

**SCB** · January 10, 2011, 06:59pm

I don't think anyone said quarterly. It was just said 4 figures. Out of the schedule I posted, that is the only possible 4th figure for "sub" users.

When did I say he was quarterly? The question was who was shipping, or supposed to ship, in February.

**MegaGearMax** · January 12, 2011, 02:04pm

Special Catra-rific edition of Ask Matty!

**bigsexy_j** · January 12, 2011, 02:07pm

Battle Armor Skeletor officially in March now

**RocketPunch** · January 12, 2011, 02:16pm

Woah, Matty is going reissue crazy over the next few months! February just got even more expensive for me, as I missed Tytus first time around.

**Kevenn** · January 12, 2011, 03:06pm

Love that Catra won't have a hole in her head! Too bad they couldn't have figured out a way to do the same for She-Ra.

**zodak74** · January 12, 2011, 05:49pm

News of the year... brings a tear to my eye:

"Now, we know that Catra is the May figure, can you tell us, how the masks work on her head?

Do they snap on, or does she have 2 heads?"

"We found a way to get them to snap on! So both the red maks and the vintage silver cat mask snap on to her head with no pegs or extra tabs. Our designers worked overtime on this one! The masks are interchangable."

AWESOME!!! Here's hoping a future She-Ra variant (Starburst?) will have a She-Ra with a mask that can snap on and off without having to put that hole in her head

**Swanmarsh** · January 13, 2011, 06:12am

Fantastic news about Catra's masks.

Now I hope we get a vintage She-Ra variant figure soon with a re-tooled head and re-tooled toy-mask that allows the same trick for our lovely heroine.

Crazy, but wishful thinking.

I would like to see it to but I'm afraid it would ruin the suspense for me. The "leaked" list from last year kind of spoiled it for me.

The longer this line lasts the better. Long live the line

**MegaGearMax** · January 17, 2011, 09:53am

New stuff is up.

**Lay Ze-Man** · January 17, 2011, 10:37am

Seriously, what is up with this "development slot" nonsense?
Is Mattel really operating in such counterproductive, archaic ways?

With Stratos, it should be a simple matter of a phone call to the factory, saying:

"Hey, you know how last time you put glue on the wings? Well, don't do that this time."

Seriously.

Seriously.

I know...it's like Roboto. Just tell everyone to assemble the arms the wrong way.

Now they might as well go all the way if they are going to fix Roboto and Stratos. Stratos might as well not only have unglued wings, but now he should also have hands that can grab a weapon and come with The Staff of Avion. Roboto might as well have both hands removable.

Given the fact that we already have a "correct" Stratos in the TRU pack, they could just say "hey, guys, put that one in the standard packaging. K, thanks."

But I wouldn't mind a retooled v2.0 Stratos that comes with the Staff of Avion and a couple of different paint deco's.

Robot, I'm indifferent about. I'm ok with mine. Well, I'm ok with my Stratos, too. I just want the Staff...
