<\/p>\nMattypalooza was at the exact same time as Hasbro's Star Wars<\/i> panel (which was a real dick-move by SDCC to fans) but the allure of a Toyguru-less Matty outweighed the general assumption that Hasbro couldnt say much about The Force Awakens<\/i>. Scott Neitlich left Mattel a couple months ago which, of course, begged the question of whether or not the famous \"Mattypalooza\" panels would continue, and thankfully they are (at least for now). Mark Morse has stepped in to those shoes and led the team in the best Mattel panel in many years. He's also stepped in as the guiding voice to Mattycollector and things are looking pretty interesting in this new, post-Neitlich era.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Friday, July 10, 12:00pm, Room 25ABC. The panel consisted of:
\nMark Morse<\/b>, Marketing Director of Matty & MotU
\nRob David<\/b>, head writer of MotU content
\nKimberley McCauley<\/b>, Marketing Managaer & Strategist
\nBrandon Sopinsky<\/b>, Senior Desinger
\nEric Treadaway<\/b>, Four Horsemen
\nCornboy<\/b>, Four Horsemen<\/p>\n
The panel was a wild experience and ultimately a bit of a blur. It began with Morse fairly explicitly attacking Neitlich and how he had managed the Matty & MotU lines, then talking about all the amazing potential products they were spitballing (bringing back other past Mattel brands, putting out unreleased product from the '80s and doing more figures in those styles\/lines - really intriguing and exciting things), some fun changes to the MotU Classic<\/i> line and ultimately the reveal of Thundercats<\/i> in the MotUC<\/i> scale\/style! As a result, by the time they got to the MotU portion of the panel I was just caught up in the slideshow and stopped taking notes as reveals were coming fast and furious.<\/p>\n
(In an effort to get all this info to you as timely as possibly I present my notes to you here is rough form, please bear with the brevity)<\/I><\/p>\n
