MattyCollector Shutting Down – Masters of the Universe Going To Super 7

Posted on July 21, 2016 at 12:46 am by Joe Moore under Masters Of The Universe Toy News, San Diego Comic Con

In a major, surprise announcement, MattyCollector will be shutting down at the end of the year. The website will be closed. All Masters of the Universe items will be produced by Super 7! Here’s the details from Mattel:

To Our Loyal Collectors,

Thank you for being the world’s most dedicated fans and passionate supporters of MattyCollector.com over the years.

We want to let you know that we have been working on something new and different for you that measures up to your loyalty and devotion.

As of December 31, 2016, we will be shutting down the website as we transition to Super7 to manufacture and deliver the Masters of the Universe and adult collector lines. Subscriptions and orders for 2016 will remain unaffected, and the site will continue to operate through the end of the year. For the past two years, Super7 has proven to be a great partner, and we look forward to seeing them continue to grow the Masters of the Universe line. They will unveil the expanded line for 2017 at San Diego Comic-Con.

To help you complete your collections before the end of the year, we’ll be opening the Vault beginning Thursday, July 21 at 9 a.m. PT. All 2014 and 2015 items, and select 2016 items, will be available for sale at that time. They’ll remain in the shop until the end of the year or while supplies last, whichever comes first. For our U.S.-based collectors, any Vault products you buy during San Diego Comic-Con will arrive with free domestic ground shipping.*

We thank you for your dedication and support through the years.

Sincerely,
MattyCollector.com

Also, here’s a message from Super 7:

Hello Matty Collectors!

This is Brian Flynn, owner of Super7, and I just wanted to say how excited we are to expand our relationship with Mattel and Masters of the Universe this year and beyond! We’re looking forward to creating a wonderful array of exciting and unexpected Masters of the Universe products in the years to come.

As some of you may know, we’ve been working with Mattel for a few years now, creating both the retro 3.75” MOTU figures, the M.U.S.C.L.E. MOTU figures, and last year’s SDCC 2015 Skeletor’s Lair special event. Since then, we’ve announced wave 2 of the 3.75” figures, and wave 2 of the M.U.S.C.L.E. figures, which will debut at SDCC 2016.

Speaking of SDCC 2016, our biggest announcement was that while all this was going on, we’ve been working secretly on the first new Masters of the Universe animation in the classic style since 1985 – “The Curse of the Three Terrors”! In trying to be as authentic to the original series as possible, this new animation features original voice actor Alan Oppenheimer reprising his signature role as Skeletor (as well as Mer-Man and Man At Arms) on a new adventure in Eternia. Additionally, we worked with The Power and Honor Foundation to use original backgrounds from the 1984-1985 series, so this new animation is as accurate as possible. We will premiere the “The Curse of the Three Terrors” at 10pm on Wednesday July 20th, at the corner of 8th Ave. and G in downtown San Diego, directly across the street from this year’s Skeletor’s Lair pop-up shop! Afterwards, “The Curse of the Three Terrors” will be available August 1st for download on iTunes and Google Play for $1.99.

As for new and exciting products, I wonder what other secrets we might have up our sleeves for all of you…?

No mention of Thundercats. So we’re not sure what the future holds for either of those lines. Details will be shared as they become available.

    That's because MattyCollector is done. Some new company called Super7 or something like that is going to be doing this products for them. What that means is anyone's guess, but I think that means Thundercats are done.

    Going off the assumption that the ThunderCats line is dead, I feel as if the franchise is cursed! Seems like anything from entertainment to merchandise falls through fast! I can't imagine ThunderCats is really anymore niche than Masters Of The Universe. Even though I didn't plan to get into the line, because I have no interest in doing their whole subscription service thing, it'd suck to see it go.

    Nice to see they are making a Batgirl in Burnside figure, but her stomach and waist seem off.

    From what I've seen they've worked on those Kenner throwback ReAction figures from Funko, and some off the wall vinyl toys.

    That's their specialty? Well, I guess they are a couple made in heaven since Mattel doesn't believe in 2016 articulation.

    Man that Reaper looks amazing, I've been waiting since I was 8 years old for a figure of him. I am not too familiar with the Multiverse line, is it a 4" or 6" scale?
    That Lex Luthor looks like Professor X to me

    The current Multiverse line is 6in. scale.

    Interesting groups of characters. I could definitely see myself picking up quite a few of these. Looks good!

    I've been wanting a Flash TV show King Shark for awhile now, but that Mattel BAF isn't it. Hopefully DC Collectibles will make him sometime down the road.

    who could have guessed that Mattel would produce such an old, relatively obscure Batman villain? Usually I prefer my customs over Official figures, but Mattel's Reaper make mine look terrible. This makes me nervous about taking the time to make a custom figure for fear that Hasbro or Mattel will turn around and do an Official version a year or two down the road. ARGH!

    INCREDIBLE!! I can spot 3 female character figures WITHOUT ab crunch & WITH ball-jointed legs!!!
    Mattel, have you finally seen the light??

    So, Matty is dead. Thanks to Digital River's great assistance...

    Is that Bruce's head with the TDK Flash figure? And why does King Shark have 2 heads? Is he a Great White or a Hammerhead?

    Awh shoot, but at least you can shamelessly plug them, here!

    On topic, this looks like a pretty good showing from Mattel. Who is the armored Batman in front of Arrow?

    Dammit, I bought a thundercats subscription. Can't even remember if they charged it!
