Flock around the Clock (for MOTU fans)

[60'schild]

For those fans of the new (online only) MOTU classics line, there is a big discussion and poll going on right now at he-man.org regarding Mossman.

The Mattel design team (and our official Mattel liason at the board) are asking OUR help to determine whether or not the upcoming modern articulation style Mossman should be flocked (like the original 2 versions), unflocked or partially flocked (several photoshopped examples at the Org).

The designers would like to get ALL of our input by the end of this weekend so please visit the he-man.org forums and cast your vote!!

(Posted for those casual motu fans who might not already make that board their home away from home). For the rest of you ... move along... nothing to see here... please disperse ...

I liked the Design they showed... , I guess he is not flocked,.. I dunno I guess to me , it really doesn't matter anyway,.. I'd like to see Pics Flocked & unflocked for my Decission to be made on the Subject I suppose,.. But either Way,.. I hope to purchase Him.

The pics (flocked/unflocked/partial) are all here:

I am partial to the semi flocked pic.

I personally like the flocked version

This isssue is being covered on several toy sites including thefwoosh, toynewsi and action figure insider as well as Matty's own facebook.

I feel Mossman without the moss is just a green Beastman. I think the spot or partial flocking is the best option.

I do like the full, but a few people mentioned if they go that route he would not have full articulation which is why I opted for the semi moss

[BlackKnight]

I like the Partial Flock look Myself as well... It feel's more Like MossMan & not overly done. I was under the Impression that was the Pic they are showing off at Mattycollector site too.

The closed Mouth is better for him as well.
It make him look More like an Individual character,.. rather than some Beastman repaint.

This isssue is being covered on several toy sites including thefwoosh, toynewsi and action figure insider as well as Matty's own facebook.

While it is indeed being talked about on several generic toy sites, the Mattel liason (TOYGURU) posted directly at He-man.org (the nexus of all things MOTU) and asked for the opinion of the membership there, even giving us a "deadline" of sorts for our comments.

Since we've begun doing this, Toyguru has responed, acknowledging our preferences thusfar and making some interesting comments about what they are going through with the design process.

I think it's great that other toy sites have picked up the news (and especially those who refer folks back to the org to participate in the discussion at MOTUC Ground Zero!

(BTW, it's great to have the Mattel rep come on board and ASK for input while they are still in the prototype stage! Talk about directly involving your target demographic!!)
