Auf der amerikanischen Seite He-Man.org veröffentlichte Jeremy Padawer einige Neuigkeiten zur aktuellen Lage. Angesprochen wird die derzeitige Video-Promotion, die Zukunft der Serie für die nächsten 18 Monate und den Stellenwert der Adult Collectors.
Jeremy Padawer, der MotU-Goru von Mattel USA, stellt sich oft den Fragen der neugierigen Fans. Obwohl die nächste Runde von "What the Fans want to know" von www.He-Man.org noch gar nicht an der Reihe ist, gibt er einige Antworten und Zukunftseinblicke zu Masters of the Universe. Der Text ist von www.he-man.org entnommen und in englischer Sprache.
"Mattel definitely understands your concerns regarding additional Spin-Blade Skeletor and Smash-Blade He-Man figures. "
"The target market for this particular promotion is primarily children. McDonald s will be doing a Masters Happy Meal starting May 2nd. We believe that MOTU at McDonald s will peak the interest of many, many children who have either not yet had the opportunity to experience the new MOTU toy line or the new cartoon on Cartoon Network."
"I say primarily kids because there are a whole host of adults who love MOTU who are also unaware of its re-release. The video promotion will allow the newest MOTU fans to experience both the figures and entertainment all at once. It will also provide the adults just realizing that MOTU is back the opportunity to re-experience the all new MOTU. "
"With the case ratio mix in mind, we shipped 2:2:2 & 2:2:1:1 mixes with He-Man and Skeletor making up no more than 30% of those mixes. We are keenly aware of the thousands of you who are still hunting for Mekaneck, Teela, Orko, Trap-Jaw and Tri-Klops, and are making those figures more readily available through this promotion."
"We re also aware of the demand for Masters on VHS and DVD. You can be sure that we will make more videos available in the future, packed out with all new figures."
"You can look forward to approximately 55 MOTU figures (heroic and evil) to be released in the next 18 months. This will include all newly tooled figures, figures refreshed with all new accessories/weaponry, and redecos of the key characters. You can also look forward to He-Man and Skeletor making up no more than 35% of the shipped figures, which is almost exact even ratios with the other figures in each wave assortment."
"Again, thank you for your passionate feedback, and Mattel promises more promotions that will specifically target the adult collecting segment as well."
