UPDATED Trademarks List: New, Unused And/Or Notable

[Tallstar]

Arachna Spider Warriors
This sounds a lot like the Eternia Palace Guards title... I wonder if we will get them as a two-pack... I mean, otherwise, why bother TM'ing them as a title... it's not like they would need to for a bio... they are just words.

Good thinking. That didn't even cross my mind.

So now it's Mekanek...

Good news for you, Mike : Optikk aside (2010), Slush Head is the ONLY other NA figure that was trademarked so far. So logically and hopefully, I guess he's a NA figure that should be released in 2011...

I have all my fingers crossed man! Even my toes! LOL
Maybe he'll be revealed at Toyfair? Lets hope so.

So I guess the next big reveals will be at New York Toyfair 2011 ?

If this is the case, please know that New York Toyfair (NYTF) 2011 will take place from the 13th to the 16th of February 2011 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, New York, United States Of America (source : http://events.hellotrade.com/tradesh...fair-new-york/ ).

Hope we'll see Slush Head and more awesome figures being revealed at NYTF !

Loving the Horde finds in particular! It would be amazing to get the Troopers as the next two-pack (after Palace Guards)

I am REALLLLLLLLLY interested in seeing how they do up Modulok!

[Spectror]

I really feel like 2011 could have some very nice figures in store for us indeed.

From the few figures we already know of for sure (Bow, Vikor, King Hsss, Shadow Beast, Battle Armor Skeletor, Swiftwind, Faceless One) and from the trademarks we got lately (Horde Troopers, Modulok, Multibot, Rattlor, Tung Lashor, Lodar, Clamp Champ, Leech, Mantenna...), I have a feeling 2011 can be a really awesome year !

Let's pray that we won't be disappointed !

I would absolutely love Modulock! One of my all time Favorites!

[Tallstar]

This is slightly off-topic, but I just noticed Mattel used to have a live trademark for Shadow Beast in 2001 as well. Over the years, has anything ever been mentioned about Mattel wanting to do a Shadow Beast in the 2002 line?

"Night of the Shadow Beasts" was one of the episodes.

wow, i really like this list!!!!

i kinda hope they take their time with horde troopers though -- mattel will need to up the order amount 30 fold just to meet production for 10 minutes!!!

I really hope so, the NA characters, while not my favorite assortment, are appearing too slowly.

HORDE TROOPER

Still no Strobo

Any word on the Star Sisters and Glory Bird?

[Scorpia]

Big thanks to everyone for doing all the detective work, but I wonder - do these reveals make reveals at events like SDCC less exciting?

All of the reveals had TMs so none were a huge surprise - nobody expected Adora because there was no trademark and no expectation.

Makes me wonder how they'd tackle announcing the Filmation rights if it ever happens - because a reveal like that would surely be the biggest for the MOTUC line and Mattel wouldn't want it ruined by a TM reveal...

I hear you, Strobo would be awesome to see in toy. but I guess we need Sy-Klone first. :/

[Loo-Kee]

I'm surprised that Frosta or any of the other POP gals haven't been TM'ed yet...or have they?

[Jedi_Master_Jeremy]

Sounds like a great list of figures. I can't wait for the Horde Troopers. That's going to be a mad rush to the computer that day. When those are released, I'll probably for the first time buy the maximum! And then I may come back in and do it again. Horde Troopers rule!

[KingRandor82]

cause I found it otherwise; still looking for more.

Yep, already known. Check the first post !

[Sabretooth]

Who/what is Kex? Does anybody know? Thanks.

They are another race on Eternia, they show up all over the mini-comic: He-man and the insect people. I always assumed they were flies.

[Berserker79]

I want some Horde Troopers!!!

If they can do the Palace Guards as cool as they are, the Troopers have to be pure awesomeness!!!

[bcrduke]

Catra, Sweet Bee, and Swiftwind were trademarked earlier this year

I think the fact that Mattel won't invest in the TM-ing of all the characters at once betrays the fact that they, as usual, are not interested in investing in MOTU for the long term. It's almost like they would rather make as big but as quick a buck as possible and then if the line doesn't survive on it's own, can it (let's face it, the property, as always, sells itself... Mattel doesn't need to actually DO anything, except refrain from bungling it).

I know they say it'll run until 2017, and I believe that (Marvel Legends is STILL trucking along), but Mattel isn't really doing much to make that happen; mattel is lucky that way.

Isn't the required window between the registration of a trademark [(R), not TM - you can claim TM without registering] and first use relatively narrow [a couple of years, vs a 5-7 year window between first and subseqent uses] to retain the (R)?
