I didn't realize it was possible to have an incredible MOTU convention without overpriced convention exclusives and non-attendee action figure collectors footing the bill. Inconceivable!

Yes, we were told that. Some of us have been very vocal about the Power-Con exclusives. Teemu is correct that some fans don't care as long as they get their toys. Many of the ones defending this are attending Power-Con and probably hope to profit off the figures.

Notorious scammer Matt Mason is back to his old tricks. The last couple of days he has been listing multiple Teela, Fisto, and Sorceress figures plus Battle Rams, Castle Grayskulls, other MOTUC items for too good to be true prices. Beware buying from a seller in Bourbonnais, Illinois. If you...

I appreciate your great checklist! If you watch Pixel Dan's walkthrough video, Brandon makes it clear that the Teela included with the Talon Fighter is not a true Filmation Teela like the figures in the new Filmation line and that they might make a true Filmation Teela figure later. Furthermore...

Actually customers are footing the bill. By paying nearly ten months in advance and not being able to receive an exchange or refund for defective products customers are assuming all the risk. Do Funko and Hasbro rely on the annual commitment of subscribers to finance their toy lines? Shipping...

MOTUC is a subscription based toy line unlike Transformers and GI Joe. It also has a much smaller customer base. Eroding the subscription model seems like a poor decision since Mattel plans to continue to rely on it for future toy lines. Upsetting loyal customers for the benefit of a...

I think the only actual desire is to use MOTUC collectors to fund Power-Con and make the event profitable for the organizers.

Whether non-attendees have a chance to purchase them remains to be seen. They will be available for sale only to attendees during the first three hours of the sale.

I think she meant to include an "up" in the middle and when we all read it our brain is filling in the word that was obviously supposed to be there. She clearly meant "Transparently up yours".

Once again, thank you adding so much intellectual discourse to this debate. I appreciate the countless hours you've undoubtedly spent framing your careful responses. Now that the polite niceties are out of the way why don't we begin? Yes, Mattel has every right to change their model. Yet the...

Retail toy lines aren't based entirely upon a subscription model. This decision erodes the foundation of MOTUC. For years the subscription has been pushed as being for those diehard fans who want everything. Now that has been turned on it's head all for the benefit of a little con. I'm at a loss...

I think everyone understands the concept of exclusives, but thank you for taking the time to attempt to enlighten everyone and add something meaningful to the discussion. MOTUC is unique in that it owes it's existence to subscribers. During the past seven years subscribers have had access to...

Someone has started a petition about the Power-Con only exclusives: https://www.change.org/p/mattel-make-all-convention-exclusives-available-to-everyone

It seems pretty straightforward. Power-Con is NOT run by a non-profit entity. It's a business venture. Although this is bad news for collectors, who have been asked to buy figures they didn't necessarily want year after year in order to get the ones they did want, it's good news for those who...

Apparently all three Power-Con exclusives will ONLY be available at Power-Con. I'm not sure how this decision fits into their stated desire of making collectors feel like kings?
