Mattel Adds Quarterly and Monthly Shipping For 2014 Subscriptions

Posted on June 19, 2013 at 10:03 am by Joe Moore under DC Toy News, Masters Of The Universe Toy News

Club Eternia and Club Infinite Earths Subs

Mattel has posted an update on their 2014 subscription service. They will be offering both monthly and quarterly shipping options. Here are the details.

Toy Fans,

Back in April, we asked if you’d be interested in having us send your figures to you quarterly rather than monthly if it meant you’d save money on shipping (it costs less to send one big, heavier box vs. several smaller, lighter ones). By your votes, it was clear you were ready for the idea so we’ve been working behind scenes to make it happen. Our 2014 subscriptions are now available and to make sure everyone gets their figures the way they want them, we’re stoked to give you both monthly and quarterly shipping options for 2014! Check it out…

The monthly shipping option is the same way we’ve always done it: your MOTUC figures will be shipped and billed as they’re released each month. With the quarterly shipping option, you’ll still get all the 2014 club releases but we’ll hold them in our warehouse then ship and bill them every three months to save you shipping costs. Here’s how it works: we’ll manufacture the figures for our quarterly subscriptions at the same time as those designated for monthly subscriptions so there are absolutely no differences between them. The figures designated for the quarterly subscriptions will be stored in a separate holding area in the warehouse, just waiting to be shipped to you each quarter. That’s it!

How much will you save by shipping quarterly? That completely depends on where you live, the shipping method you choose, and how many subscriptions you have. As an example, a typical shipment of one basic figure in the US costs about $10 to ship. A similar shipment of three basic figures would be about $15. Your costs will vary, of course, but the potential savings are substantial.

Either way, it’s totally up to you. Monthly and quarterly subscriptions are available now for both Masters of the Universe® Classics Club Eternia® and DC Universe Club Infinite Earths so click here to see the options and place your order today!

Posted on June 18, 2013 at 8:01 am by Joe Moore under Masters Of The Universe Toy News

Mattel has put out details on a contest where you can win a 2014 Club Eternia Subscription from MattyCollector. Check out the detaisl below.

MOTUC Fans,

Planking is sooo 2011. Show us your Grayskulling today and you could win a free subscription to 2014 Club Eternia®! Here’s how it works…

First, you must channel your inner He-Man® and take a photo of yourself holding a humorous object over your head as if you were raising the Power Sword and proudly declaring “By the Power of Grayskull!” Got a lamp? That works. How about a Barbie® doll? Sure! No holds barred on creativity for either the object or the setting. The funnier it is, the better we’ll like it – bonus points for cosplay!

Click here to get all the forms you need (please be sure to read ALL the rules) and submit your photo to us as a JPG. We’ll select the best one and announce the winner at SDCC. The winner will be rewarded with a complimentary subscription to 2014 Club Eternia, valued at approximately $500 and we even pay the shipping. (Shameless Plug: Both Club Eternia and Club Infinite Earths 2014 subscriptions are available now!)

The contest runs from 6/17 at 9am PT through 7/2 at 11:59pm PT and we’ll post select photos on Facebook and in our Fan Forums throughout the entry period. Alright, what are you waiting for? Surely you can do better than the guy in this pic… get out there and get Grayskulling!

–Matty

P.S. This contest is open only to residents of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia. We wish it weren’t so, but every country has different rules and regulations regarding contests and it just isn’t possible for us to create and manage them all.

Masters Of The Universe Classics Octavia

Posted on May 28, 2013 at 6:03 pm by DESTRO under Masters Of The Universe Toy News

Matty Collector has released new images of Masters Of The Universe Classics Octavia today. In these new images we get to see Octavia’s new Classics bio!

The unpredictable waters of the Etherian seas are home to many seas creatures, none more dangerous and cunning than the Aquatican warrior Octavia. Working her way up the Horde ranks, she eventually became a Horde commander, first in her home waters of Octopus Cave and eventually serving Hordak in the Sea of Sigh and the Fright Zone. Truly enjoying a good fight, she cackles shrilly while brandishing weapons in her four thrashing tentacles. Octavia uses her tentacles to hold weapons and capture her enemies, squeezing their bodies into submission.

Check out all the new Masters Of The Universe Classics Octavia images after the jump.

Mattel Announces Opening Date For 2014 Subscriptions

Posted on May 24, 2013 at 9:18 am by Joe Moore under DC Toy News, Masters Of The Universe Toy News

Mattel has announced the dates for their Masters of the Universe Classics Club Eternia and DC Universe Club Infinite Earths subscriptions. Check out the details below, direct from Mattel:

Toy Fans,

As you probably know, we usually open subscriptions right after our Mattypalooza fan panel at San Diego Comic-Con and they stay open for about a month. Over the years, many of you have asked us to run the subscriptions longer so for 2014, we’re starting the sale early so everyone has a chance to get theirs when it’s convenient for them!

Subscriptions will be available for Masters of the Universe® Classics Club Eternia® and DC Universe Club Infinite Earths. When you sign up on 6/17, you’ll get all the subscription details except the names of the club-exclusive figure and first-quarter figures for each club. As always, those will be revealed at Mattypalooza Fan Panel at SDCC. (If you’re wondering why we don’t wait to open the subs until after the fan panel and leave the subscriptions open past August, it’s because we need final numbers by 8/19 to set production quotas and hit a January 2014 release date.)

Here are the dates you need to know:

2014 Subscriptions – Club Eternia® & Club Infinite Earths

Availability Opens: Monday 6/17 9am PT
Club-Exclusive Figures Announced: Mattypalooza Fan Panel at SDCC
Availability Closes: Monday 8/19 11:59pm PT

Next year is going to be the year to rule all others and you won’t want to miss a single figure from either brand! Want an email reminder? Click here to register. Or, join me on Facebook, Twitter and in our Fan Forums and you’ll get reminders there, too.
