MOTU Claasics Octavia Gets Release Date

Matty Collector has released new images today of Octavia from the Masters Of The Universe Classics range. In these new images we get to see Octavia’s new Classics bio!

"The unpredictable waters of the Etherian seas are home to many seas creatures, none more dangerous and cunning than the Aquatican warrior Octavia. Working her way up the Horde ranks, she eventually became a Horde commander, first in her home waters of  Octopus Cave and eventually serving Hordak in the Sea of Sigh and the Fright Zone. Truly enjoying a good fight, she cackles shrilly while brandishing weapons in her four thrashing tentacles. Octavia uses her tentacles to hold weapons and capture her enemies, squeezing  their bodies into submission." - Octavia’s Classics Bio

Octavia the wicked tentacle swinging warrior will go on sale from Matty Collector HERE June 17 but be quick as these figures usually go quick.

Hordak's Spirit Will Rise Again

It was only last week Matty Collector released a super secret Hordak variant called the 'Spirit of Hordak'. As you can imagine this was a very limited edition figure which sold out win minutes.

But do not fret fellow MOTU collectors as Matty Collector announced today that they will in fact have the Hordack variant occasionally appear (unannounced) throughout the coming year. So keep your eyes peeled for him on their site here. 

Something that is no longer going to appear is the MOTU Evil-Lyn figure who has been retired but would it be cool is Matty release more 'Spirit of' figures including Evil-Lyn?
