MOTUC - Userguide

[TheFallen]

Now that Ozformers had a dedicated Mattel Section, with the MOTU/POP thread being the most popular, I thought I would start this thread.

This thread is basically to give some information on the property so it is not too daunting for people who are interested to get the information they need.

MOTU
MOTU = Masters of the Universe. The original basis on what everything else was built on. Includes POG = Powers of Grayskull, an unreleased continuation of MOTU

POP
POP = Princess of Power. The female version of MOTU and is what gave us She-Ra

NA
NA = New Adventures of He-Man. A different location and a different toyline. This was a change in the franchise much like Armada was for Transformers

200x
200x = Masters of the Universe 2002-2005. A relaunch of the original MOTU with a new design style and accompanying toyline

MOTUC
MOTUC = Masters of the Universe Classics. An adult collector toyline (available online only) that encompasses all of the above properties under one umbrella

General Information

The current MOTUC figures are sold on mattycollector.com

Figures go on sale on the 15th of every month (16th for Australia) with certain exceptions, such as weekends, holidays, etc.

The US release time is 12pm which usually works out to be around 1am-4am Australian time depending on timezone and Daylight Savings

The official release timeclock can be used to help with finding the correct time for your location (timeclock is the exact time figures go on sale in the US, 12pm)

Club Eternia Subscription 2011
