Mattel
sends all the fans and collectors of Masters of the
Universe their holiday greetings and wishes everyone
a happy New Year!
Good
news from the He-Store! The Snake Men
cases for our 1st week's worth of orders have been shipped
and will be at the He-Store next week!
Once those are in and out, we'll take care of the 2nd and
3rd week's worth of orders.
We apologize for the delay. In hindsight, it's probably best
for us to official fill case requests on a "When
they arrive" schedule. This is unfortunate,
as we want fellow fans and collectors to know for certain
when you will get your figures.
So until we work out a better shipping schedule with Mattel,
that's how we will treat it.
We will still continue to fine-tune the He-Store
to make it your best one-stop-shop for all things MOTU!
He-Man Volume 2 on DVD will receive heavy
promotion upon its release in February - Two BIG UK stores
are carrying their own exclusives! - As well as the regular
cover HMV Stores will be stocking their own
exclusive cover - In Virgin Stores when you
buy He-Man Volume 2, you will receive 4 free
He-Man-related postcards!
Don't forget to tune in tomorrow (Saturday, December 20th)

An
update to the He-Store.
Mattel
has still not shipped the Snake Men wave,
which made up the bulk of our orders from fans and collectors.
If any of you were hoping we might be able to ship orders
before the holidays, we doubt that will happen unless Mattel
works a holiday miracle. The He-Store,
for this first few rounds of orders, will ultimately use the
4 week window specified in the Shipping Policy. Our
apologies!
The popular Masters of the Universe comic
from MVCreations
is now available in select parts of Europe,

it's
no

for
the
Masters
of

comic!

can
now
order
previous,

being
able
to
get
all
US
published
'80s
nostalgia
books
internationally,
with
the
exception
of
Masters
of
the
Universe.
MV
feels
this
is
a
step
in
the
right
direction
for
all
fans
across
the
globe.
"It's
been
a
long
time
coming,
but
we're
finally
expanding
the
availability
of
the
comic,"
says
MVs
Val
Staples.
"Mattel
realized
that
there
were
a
vast
number
of
requests
from
fans
in
Europe
to
own
the
US
version
of
the
comic.
Mattel
is
working
with
MV
to
get
it
into
the

of
those
readers.
Now

have
come
to
expect,

they
plan
to
push
it
beyond
the
limits

Now
more

The
He-Store is very popular... almost too
popular!
We will be capping orders every Sunday night at 12am EST. After
that, we request delivery of those orders to our store, and
then we pack and ship them straight on to you! Mattel isn't
moving quite as fast as we'd like, though. We still await initial
confirmation that the first week's worth of orders have been
shipped. But seeing as how many other retailers have recently
received their stock, and it is the busy holiday rush, we are
certain it will be soon.
On that same note, we know you are familiar with the Shipping
times specified on the Store
FAQ and in the Shipping
Policy.
With that in mind, all orders prior to December 7th are the
orders we're pushing to have in the hands of US fans before
the holidays. Given the nature of International shipping this
time of year, we wouldn't count on fans receiving any shipments
prior to the holidays. Any order after December 7th will most
likely arrive after the holidays.
No confirmations have been sent, as we prefer to have your order
in hand before we charge. :-)
If a confirmation is important for your PayPal
payment, don't worry. The 24 hour terms don't begin until you
receive confirmation.
So keep an eye out! As soon as the first batch of orders is
in, they'll soon be on the way to you!
With grumbling of the Defenders of Grayskull
game being cancelled, Walmart
has just updated their site to show the game being release in
April. While we've received no official info on release dates,
it's positive news about the game hitting the shelves! Check
out Walmart's site for more info! Thanks to He-Fan Chris Tippery for that
link!
TheToyRoom.com

feature. It can be located in the Cartoon

history/information revealed during their cartoon appearance.
“From Toy to Cartoon” opens up
with 2 entries, The
Attack Squid and Battle
Sound Skeletor. Check it out!
UK fans, keep an eye out! Reports are coming
in of Mega Punch He-Man and Martial
Arts He-Man at Woolworths!
Thanks to He-Fan Chris Page for that info!
The
He-Store has had a great opening week! A good

Officials
from Take2
Interactive have today announced that the company
has completed the purchase of California based publisher TDK
Mediactive. The terms of the acquisition were
altered slightly from those previously announced, to reflect
the termination of TDK's publishing rights
for the Shrek movie franchise.
We aren't sure what this means for the new video game that
was due out. But as soon as we do, we'll let you know!
It seems as though the mini Masters figures
are now showing up in Toys-R-Us
stores in Melbourne, Australia. Australian fans should keep
an eye out!
Thanks to He-Fan AB for that info!

The
He-Store is online! Pick up case assortments, busts, and statues at retail
prices!
Don't waste your money on gas, driving around all day and
ultimately being disappointed. Spend it on shipping and get
what you are looking for!
We're delivering figures worldwide, and have even broadened
the number of countries to which we can ship the new comic!
A lot of you want to know if we plan on selling individual
figures. The answer is "yes."
But we don't plan to do so until after the holidays. Right
now, we're focusing on just case assortments to help gauge
interest in the He-Store and its lower-than-most
prices.
The good news is, if the He-Store is a success,
there is a good chance you will see new case assortments with
new figures, and maybe even custom case assortments of the
rarer figures you've been dying to get! Be sure to read the Store FAQ
and PayPal payment info ahead of time!
We hope the He-Store offers another outlet
for finding the figures you want, at prices you can afford,
while strengthening the chance that Masters
will live on for a long time to come!
UK fans may want to pick up the latest issue of SFX
magazine (#112). It has an article about cartoons
of the 80s and He-Man gets a pretty big mention!
The article also features some words and some nice video captures
from Busta Toons!
Update to He-Man.org:
You'll find a large collection of commercials in the Promotional
section. Thanks to our own forum moderator, Jon
Kallis, for his hard work!
The first issue of the Masters of the Universe: Season
One Encyclopedia is in comic stores! It's hard to
find, already sold out in many places! Check with your local
retailer today, online retailers, or on the He-Store!
Thanks to He-Fan Quinn for that info!
UK fans should keep their eyes open for new Masters
figures. Reports of Trap Jaw and Spin
Blade Skeletor, as well as other new figures have
been coming in!
Look for this and other reports of figures findings in our
Toy

We
all know how hard it’s been to find figures lately.
Dedicated online retailers, comic shops, and a few chance
grocery retailers seem to be our only resource for figures. Not anymore. In a little over a week, the He-Store will be up and
running!
This is your one-stop-shop for Masters of the Universe
figures, mini-busts, comics and more! He-Man.org is the first stop for many when
it comes to news about MOTU. Now it will
become your link to all your figure needs.
We have been working with Mattel
to line up the best case assortments available, along with
future toy exclusives, all to come your way for prices that
just can’t be beat anywhere else.
Also be on the lookout for the Four
Horsemen’s mini-busts and statues, as well as exclusive
mini-busts that will have you jumping for joy!
We couldn’t sit by any longer and hope for the best.
Now we’ll be working to make sure you are not only informed,
but can find the products you’ve been asking for! Stay tuned for more details in the next few days!
Wow!
It seems a LOT of fans still want a Keldor!
Last week’s content was well received. Over 2100
people entered for a chance to win one of the 3 available
Keldors. We hope those entries are from fans
who have missed out on a Keldor, as those
are the fans who truly deserve a chance to win.
If we are lucky, we have made the following three fans happy: Donna Goldie of Florida Daniel Bakolas of Australia Chris Vint of Northern Ireland
But we can’t let that be the end. Because so many people
entered for a chance, we’ll be doing another Keldor
give-away very soon! Keep checking back for more details,
and congrats to our winners!
The Cartoons section of He-Man.org
has a HUGE update now online! 126 new pieces
have been added to the Animation Art section,
