Mattel Announces 2013 Subscription Totals

Wooo Hooooo!!!! Finally! now we can celebrate that we are getting what we wanted...no more arguing and headaches. On to different news!
I can't wait to get RAM MAN!

I'm glad to see the subs made their quota. Nothing like waiting until the last minute. But it's good to know that Ram Man is now a guaranteed release.

Really looking foward to the King He-Man and Ram-Man. Kinda sad that Illumina lost by so little to Geldor, hopefully she will still get made. Now I want them to get on my MANTENNA, Rio Blast, and Extendor, and MOST of all A HORDE TROOPER!!!

absolutely she will eventually be made....I am really hoping that MOTUC and DCIE will be around for years to come. I'd love to have an Illumina figure, but I wanted Geldor more.

It was goin to go thru without a hitch. Same thing they did last year with DC went sub only. "Please support blah blah blah, we need so many to start this line blah blah..." then even tho they didn't hit the number, they STILL went ahead and did it. It's just scare tactics that ppl bought into

scare tactics or not....what happened here was they/we created a buzz over all this...it got hyped up as it should be and more people subscribed. either way its a win for them and a win for the people who subed up

Word up! I'm gettin like 4 Ram Mans lmao

Hook.Me.Up

Hell Yeah Geldor!! Always one of my favorite mini comics as a kid. This makes me very happy ...

Awesome news!

agreed. I looked into getting a sub and decided against it because I saw how far off it looked on them making it and then this. please they don't need me and I'll pick these figures up second hand and be all the better for it. glad to know I'm not alone in regards to the way I feel about matty's business model or lack there of

Nice shirt

NOT

He's such a tool!

A 40%-45% increase in a day?


I don't think so.

yeah I'm thinking I smell books cooking

Yay I get Ram Man! As for Geldor, doesn't surprise me. I know a lot of fans want that one. But like making up 45% on the last day, I don't think Geldor had the most votes either. I think Illumina had the most popular votes but not electoral votes if you will. I just think Illumina required much more new tooling than Geldor, which is just basically the standard male buck, Skelator's waist/skirt thingy, Tri-Clops armor, and a new head.

As compared to those still using the phrase NOT? j/k ;-)

Pretty much. People panicked at the last minute and bought in. Or its all rigged. The whole sub totals were probably rigged to look like they desperately needed more subs. I also dont buy into the 4H plea either. These lines get to limp on a bit longer it looks like.

Now they have to make good on those promises of improvement.

just give me those horde troopers and a mantenna. Even if they do a cop out on his 4 legs and just have a seem down the middle of one leg, to look like two

Hell yeah. Now that Ram Man, Jitsu, and Rattlor, are in the works; Mantenna has just shot to the top of my "make this one now!" list.

P.S. My Spikor just arrived and rejuvenated me. Not that I need to be juvenated again, but it added some juvenation.

Scott hinted at a fan demanded army builder pack coming out in 2013. We might get lucky and get the Horder Troopers with our 2013 subs!!!

I am so glad the subs went through and Ram Man is getting out! This is the first year I got 2 subs instead of 1, hopefully there will be a lot of vintage figs coming out that I want doubles of.
