OOT!!! Thanksgiving Gooble!!! PERFECT!!!

YAY!!! Thanks Gooble Crew! An Happy Thanksgiving to you one and all!

[Berserker79]

I`m not a fan of the Fighting Foe Men, I hoped this faction would turn out as a bunch of warriors, living in the Vikor time, with the option for more warriors than just three characters.

I really like Geldor, it was one of the first mini comics I read as a kid and I like the combination of the design and color sheme. He breathes MOTU and look more vintage than the FFM and I really like that. He`ll be a personal highlight in 2013 for me. I like Strobo as well, though I got no nostaglic feeling for him, I think I know of him back in the 200x days, but he looks like a true vintage figure plus the Zodak head, which is awesome by itself.

Snake Face & Karatti look amazing, I really like the Space Mutants more the than the NA heroics. Octavia does nothing for me, though she`s well done, no doubt. I´m not into the Filmation Horde members. Clamp Champ looks cool, I think, I´ll keep him.

Thanks!
Great questions. I always love listening to Eric go into some of the background details of the figure design and production.

Man... those 2-ups.... Please?

[rankinman]

Now it's official, best Thanksgiving ever. Thank you Val.

[JimPansen]

Yeah! Eamon is right, we need more Minicomic characters! Especially a Mask of Power Demons two pack is a must !!!
But he is wrong on Octavia! She is AWESOME and a nice figure Ted Mayer can sign for you ;-)( Sir lose a lot is still lame)

[Crusader]

Totally !!! We need to chant a bit more for them: http://he-man.org/forums/boards/show...ght=mask+power

We NEED Lodar!!!! Garn would be nice too. Maybe a two-pack?

And yeah, Octavia is freakin' awesome.

I don't understand how anyone into MOTU isn't able to see her cool-factor. I mean, come on!!

[Tuukka]

btw: Tung Lashor don't need a new legs, his foot are unique but rest of the legs are basicly human legs which we already have.

Bring him on!

Oh i know. I can not wait for him to be revelaed. One of my all time favs.

[Madison Carter]

Eric says there may be up to 12-15 reveals in February. Wow.

[SCB]

Hows that even possible? Even if they have 12-15 figures ready, they wouldn't reveal that many at once.

[RockinHard]

There is a "new program" to be announced at Toy Fair per Scott.

[wundarwarrior]

I do think it's a lot of figures to show but with the program their revealing it is probably necessary. Also, I bet there are several figures that are near complete but have been bumped for whatever reason, like the 200X Randor that was moved. I'm overly excited now because I really enjoy seeing the line grow and IMO the faster we get figures the better!!

I know it's more money, but I'd rather get the figures faster, too. There is soo many to get to. Like many, I'm also praying that TG brings us the Battle Ram, as well as Night Stalker and Stridor.

You mean the speculated Filmation sub? Possible, still wouldn't count on that many figures on display.

[JVS3]

Correct, they wouldn't reveal so many at once. Some will be saved to reveal later as SDCC exclusives, some will be SDCC reveals, etc.

Still, that's a whole lot of potential awesome!

[Berserker79]

As long as I get Mantenna, Tung Lashor & Horde Trooper next year, they can reveal what they want

[TJRules]

Happy Spanksgiving!

Love the RGD!

I don't think it's going to be a Filmation Subscription.

I'd bank on 2 or 3 packs that will either definitely be sold, or they will do something horribly scary like a "Vote For the Next 2 in a 2-pack" kind of thing...

But I think it's going to be multi-packs and they will grab SKUs that may have been allotted for Ghostbusters and Voltron. I gather from comments made by Scott and things that I have heard elsewhere that the "Mattycollector" entity gets a certain budget and SKUs and the Brand Manager and team seem to allot a certain amount for each brand.

So let's say there were a bunch of SKUs... why not put them all into MOTUC? It's the best seller they have.

I do hope that it's a fair distribution amongst vintage MOTU, POP, NA, Filmation/Jetlag, mini-comic, and 200X though.

Interesting. Mattycollector's other lines are all wiped out except for MOTUC, DCUC and Watchmen. Watchmen might be a one-shot deal and DCUC can't get extra things greenlighted. Voltron, JLU, Ghostbusters and maybe Back to the Future are gone next year.

[Tallstar]

Octavia is nothing?



No but seriously, I agree that it would be nice to see some more embellishments on these gals.

[mjw41]

Val have you and the Gooble team already recorded a podcast with Scott after Grayskull hit it's pre-order goal met?
I would love to hear the speculatin of whats going into it and Scotts Comments.

[zodak74]

The discussion of con reveals with the makers of 'em make for my favorite Gooble episodes. One note about Karatii using the Trap-Jaw legs... it's going to look pretty cool having Trap-Jaw lead a battalion of like-armored characters like Optikk and Karatii into battle.
