Matty's News Archive - November 2008Updates to brand pagesNovember 18, 2008 Toy Fans, 
Just to give everyone a heads up that the MOTU brand page has been up and running for a few weeks now. Obviously we have a lot more to add to it in the coming months, but you should find all of the essential information about your favorite characters from the worlds of He-Man™ and She-Ra™ on this page. We'll have brand pages for DCU and Cars brands rolling out in the beginning of 2009 which will also include retail release calendars and sneak previews of new product. Stay tuned. Great stuff is coming in 2009 and beyond! —Toy Guru Matty announces TRU exclusives for DCU brand!November 14, 2008 DCU fans, Got some big news on exclusive figure sets available only at Toys R Us!

Four sets are on shelf, BATGIRL and AZRAEL, LIGHTRAY and ORION (now with a removable helmet!), CYBORG SUPERMAN and MONGUL and finally HAL JORDAN in his original uniform with a new ABIN SUR figure!

Check back here often as we update with the latest news and information about all of Mattel's great collector brands! —Matty Toys ‘R’ Us Racer Offer: Buy Five Disney/Pixar CARS Character Vehicles, Get N20 Cola Vehicle!November 10, 2008 Hey, CARS fans! We know you're eager to hear news about our 2009 product line for MattyCollector, but announcements are still a ways off. In the meantime, you might be interested in an exclusive promotion brought to you by Mattel and Toys ‘R’ Us. Here are the details: Earlier this fall, Toys R Us gave you the opportunity to get a Sidewall Shine car just for buying five Disney/Pixar CARS character vehicles, and it looks like this giving thing is getting to be a habit of ours. We've got yet another offer guaranteed to get your CARS collector motor runnin': this time, buy five Disney/Pixar CARS character vehicles and we'll send you an N20 Cola car! 
Still early in his career, N20 Cola #68, a.k.a. Manny Flywheel, is fast becoming one of the most consistent gearheads on the circuit. He's also the proud spokesman for his sponsor, N2O Nitro Cola, which contains nitrous to give you that extra pep in your engine. Though -- ironically -- Manny himself cannot drink the product and still race legally. Want one? Get all the information (and be sure to check out the Terms and Conditions) here! Action Figure Stands now on sale!November 4, 2008 Toy collectors, As you can see the MattyCollector.com team has been busy getting ready to roll out new product and brand pages for 2009. The Masters of the Universe Brand page is active now with new figures being added as the months trek on. Look for the latest news and updates right here on MattyCollector.com. In addition, we have the first of our figure stands available today for purchase. Stands for DC Universe Justice League and DC Universe Classics are now ready to order in our online store. (Infinite Heroes stands are coming soon BTW!) 
 We are especially proud of the work the design team did on the JLU stands. Each stand was created to hold a figure one of three ways in order to be compatible with as many characters. (keep in mind not every figure will work on the stands, and larger characters like Solomon Grundy™ won't need a stand at all!) Hope you enjoy and we'll keep these collector products coming! See you in the toy aisles, Matty DC SUPER HEROES and all related characters and elements are trademarks of and © DC Comics Important news for Paypal usersOctober 30, 2008 Now that we have products on sale again, you may have noticed a change to the payment options: we no longer offer PayPal as a payment method during the checkout process. Because our items have the potential to sell out very quickly, our system is designed to support instantaneous payment methods — credit cards and debit cards. A typical PayPal payment works more like a check, and a product may sell out before the payment can be processed and verified. However, customers who prefer to use PayPal may want to consider using the PayPal Plug-In. According to PayPal's description, the secure card feature of the PayPal Plug-In creates a "virtual debit card" number that can be used on any site that accepts Mastercard. Whatever your payment method of choice, we hope you have a great shopping experience at MattyCollector.com! MOTU Packaging RevealNovember 3, 2008 MOTU Classics fans, Well, we are getting that much closer to the on sale date for the first two MOTU Classics Figures He-Man® and Beast Man®! Both will be on sale Dec. 1, 2008 with new figures following after that once per month. Everyone at MattyCollector.comSM is so excited to get these figures into fan's hands. We know you have been waiting a long time for this! To help with the countdown, we are proud to reveal the brand new packaging for this line! The new packaging features a brand new blister and card back paying homage to the original toy line, including cross sells, vintage art and a brand new character bio for each figure. A lot of love went into this package design and we hope collectors will enjoy the package as much as we did designing it.
