Matty has updated its Facebook page with some info regarding the upcoming releases of Buzz-Off, Grizzlor, Battle Armor Skeletor and Palace Guards:
“Hey gang,
A few new MOTUC updates for you.
1: We just got in early samples of Buzz-Off in package. Note that we will see if there is time to turn his helmet around in package.Still pending.
2: Got some new images of Battle Armor Skeletor as well with the chest plates and axe. Still not 100% final, but getting closer. Check out those purple feet just like fans demanded!
3: Grizzlor’s head is removable. Earlier we had thought it would not be. Looks like I spoke to soon!
4: The Palace Guards are slipping out a bit due to some logistics (yes we know how you feel about this word…). Look for them now at the start of 2011. Note they are not part of the 2011 subscription even if they slip out to early 2011 avail.
A lot more MOTUC greatness is coming in 2011. We should have the April figure to reveal soon. The sculpt just came in and looks fantastic. Once it is painted we’ll reveal this next figure to the fans. Here is a hint, he is a member of the Masters….
That’s it for now, see you in the toy aisles or on Mattycollector.com!

Also, according to Matty’s store listing, the release of Masters of the Universe Classics Zodac in October will be the exact same figure that was previously released. It will not have the “Original” call-out on the packaging like other reissues that they’ve done in the past, nor will it be a Zodak release.
Apparently, this was overstock Mattel had in reserve to be used by their Customer Service department. Now it will be offered to the public along with the new Roboto release on October 15th, 2010.
This is great news for those who weren’t able to get Zodac during his original release and who do not want the altered packaging (or want both).

Upcoming MattyCollector Releases
Looks like I'm skipping any orders for next month as the MOTUC offerings don't really interest me. However, October I'll be looking for Roboto and Zodac, then Grizzlor in November.
I was wondering what Zodac it would be too. I'd lean towards the second release to keep the first one more collectible for those who already bought him. However, it does say "out of stock" on the listing, and not "gone for good."
As for my wants Roboto tops the list, then Grizzlor. The Ghostbusters are very tempting as well.
I'm pretty sure it's the 1st release, the 2nd is spelled Zodak and the one being reissue is Zodac like the 1st release.
I never noticed that! Good point.
Interesting. Wonder why they changed the spelling at all.
until march 2011 i only want buzz off
There was no spelling change. Zodac and Zodak are two separate characters.
? hmm..ok
Due to the retcon, Zodac now refers to the original Cosmic Enforcer and Zodak is the apprentice/successor. So the MOTUC releases are both part of the new continuity and a nod to the 80's packaging errors.
Personally, I prefer the "Zodac" spelling because it's closer to "Zodiac", which matches up with his cosmic origins.
Mystery solved! Thanks for the explanation. It's been awhile since the 2002, and I didn't remember that, and I had no idea about the packaging in the 80's. I prefer the Zodac spelling too, for the same reason you state. I always thought that was cool, and I assume that was the original intention.
Roboto and Grizzlor!
Now get me a damned Man-E-Faces!
Yes to Greyskull. And the ghostbusters are very tempting.
Zodac is apparently reserve stock left over from the previous release, and not an official reissue.
Masters of the Universe Classics Zodac "Reissue"
I hope that doesn't there are super limited numbers.
MattyCollector MOTUC November releases
Grizzlor definitely looks decent. Weapons packs are always welcome too.
Greyskull is definitely tempting. Definitely tempting.
I hope when they re-issue Grizzlor, they do one in the light brown fur. Just for the sake of nostalgia.
