You decide to investigate... and you never return...

      I just got those emails as well. Interesting news for the MOTU collectors out there. I wonder what will happen with the other properties that Matty was selling. Like the Ghostbuster and Monster High convention items.

        Super7 is also going to release the new MOTU episode they did on VHS. That's pretty cool.

              Motu Classics and Filmation Classics will continue into 2017

              Thundercats is still uncertain

              Super 7 distributes and does wholesale to vendor's,so these may show up at BBTS etc

                Yeah, good riddance to Matty. I wish Super 7 much success and hope they handle things in a satisfying manner right out of the gate.

                  Not surprised Matty is going away, but the Super7 is wild.

                        MOTUC and Filmation will continue. Thundercats are done.

                        Yesterday we reported to you how Mattel announced they would be shutting down MattyCollector.com soon and that Super7 would be continuing their collector line

                          Does this mean they could do something decent with the Batman 1966 license? Those skinny Mattel things were sloppy and mishandled out of the gate.
