Reminder: Masters of the Universe Classics Are On-Sale, Like, Two Hours Ago
Just a reminder that Mattel’s Masters of the Universe Classic line–or at least the first two entries, He-Mana nd Beast Man–are now available for $20 each over at MattyCollector.com. With shipping the two figures will run you $48, which I’m certain of because I ordered mine at noon, right when the figures became available for sale. If there’s every any doubt that I’m truly nerdy, please recall this moment, where I postponed toy news to make sure I myself could get a hold of He-Man figures, lest my nerd readers buy them all. What’s so good about my job I wouldn’t risk it by pissing off my readers to make sure I score two He-Man figures I’m already disappointed by?
Actually, Mattel is letting folks order up to 10 of each figure, so one would hope that that means there will be enough for everybody. But as we He-fans know, Mattel doesn’t exactly have the greatest track record regarding figuring out what fans want, or how many. Best get over there ASAP. Why take chances?
