As many of you know, we really wanted to fully flock Moss Man just like his vintage counterpart but found that the new levels of articulation were preventing all of the flocking from sticking. While a lot of fans have been asking about new innovations in the flocking industry, to tell you the truth, the process really has not changed that much in the last 30 years!
We tried out a few solutions including not flocking him at all, losing some of the articulation, or partially flocking him.
Well the resounding response from the fans was that Moss Man must be flocked as much as possible. So, with that in mind, we are going to flock Moss Man as much as we can. It won’t be a complete flock due to the joints, but we don’t want to loose any of the awesome articulation either.
We don’t have images yet, but as soon as we do we’ll share them with all the fans.
Masters Of The Universe Classics Moss Man Flocking Debate
Personally I think a partial flocking would look fine.
I think that he needs at least some. Isn't the point of this line to represent the classic toys with modern aesthetics and articulation? I understand the problems that arise from all the joints but it would be a shame if they had to lose all the flocking.
Isn't it possible to leave out the flocking at the joints??
partial flocking would be cool with me
Partial flocking is the best way to go. Flocking is a must for this figure for me.
I agree. Partial is really the best way to go.
on this particular figure i would sacrifice articulation for flocking or partial flocking, its more of a collectors item than a toy atleast for me. Is the the two pics posted here prototypes cuz i like the 2nd head sculpt one with the mouth open better.
I agree, let the flocking fade out as it gets near the joints. He looks like a green beast man without it.
.. the hell is flocking? Sounds dirty...
I say partial or get the flock out (and take that weak Mossman with you).
....where did that come from? o.O
Partial Flocking for the First one I wouldnt like the limited movement and then maybe the next year a full Flocking because the flocking is cool. for a re-release as a Bonus figure or Club excl.
I think they should limit the articulation and make him with flocking. Keep the trend going with previous figures.
Flock on beard, chest, arms and legs! Manly!
Oh, and across the back of the shoulders, for that Real Manly.

Update on MOTUC MossMan Flocking Issue from Mattel
Yeah, it's always nice when we fans can give some input during the development stage. I think this is a great compromise, considering the nature of the character versus the physical limitations of the design elements.
