respuestas de MATTEL a MOTULA 1/9

Scott, all the M.O.T.U.C. fans, we are a lot, we're all worried about the fact that, in all the videos to save the line and promote the 2013 sub, you said that in 2014 we would get all the vintage figures. Once the sub goal was reached, you said in Matty forums that in 2014 we would get less figures, then how is it gonna be possible to complete all the figures? I'd like you to clear that point, there has been confusion and anger in others, I'd like to know your opinion.

From Toyguru:

"Allow me to clarify! In order to have enough slots for a full robust line in 2014 like we did in 2011-2013, we needed close to 100% renewal for the 2013 sub. (and my sincere apologies for not making this clear). At the actual sub numbers for 2013, which was just a smidge above the bare min (and about 50% lower than any other year) it is unknown if we will get enough slots from management in 2014 to truly finish every vintage fig. What we will do is be true too our word and "throw out" the long term roadmap and make sure every slot in 2014 gets us closer to finishing the vintage line. Whether we have enough slots to do this is based on the sub sales for 2013 and they were much lower vs. any other year. Hope that helps!"

Is it totally out of the map a Filmation Hordak variant for 2013? Considering that there won't be so many variants like previous years.

He would still be a great variant and a main Filmation character but no plans to specifically announce right now.

In Marzo's bio it is said that he is a "5th degree wizard". We were expecting that in subsequent bios we would see the "degree" of the rest of the wizards like Skeletor, Hordak, Shadow Weaver, Orko, Sorceress, He-Ro, Evil-Lyn, Hiss, etc... but it didn't happen, it seems the "degree" concept was forgotten or discarded in the canon. So, my questions: Which are the degrees of those wizards? Will we see some day (within MOTUC) the complete ranking (similar to Marzo's degree) for the rest of the wizards?

Yes, we do have all of the rank and this will be revealed in time.

From January 2013, will we be still getting reissues?


It depends on what our stock levels are. We are very rapidly selling out of older product and now that we are not going into production of any reissues, we will only have reissues if stock is left to do this! Many figures are sold out completely at this point.

would consider move Procrustus to another month, different from Granamyr? For cost.

We can't move Procrustus into 2013 as he was developed under the 2012 budget (and part of the 2012 sub) and he won't be ready until Dec. We did try to have Granamyr ready in Sept, but he was such a complicated figure he kept slipping out. Luckily you have several months notice so plenty of time to save up!
