@chrisa I don’t know, like @durendal said, who would they think produced it then? Hasbro? 😏 

I’m not in the camp of saying “oh everyone at Mattel is so incompetent!” I think sometimes there are reasons we don’t know.

Classics has often been sidelined in promotional communications. There might be some reasons we are not aware of. 🤷

@cosmic They possibly sideline Classics so as not to feed Scott's ego after the belligerent way he's been behaving towards Mattel for many years now.

@durendal Yeah it’s a shame how all of that ended. He definitely accomplished a lot for MOTU.

It’s just really interesting. Like others noticed, in the DK book, Classics just got one spread, or for example during 40th anniversary posts on insta, when showing the different Skeletors or He-Mans across the decades, Classics was missing,…

It does remind me a bit how Marvel wouldn’t promote X-Men comics and canceled Fantastic Four comics for a while, when they didn’t have the movie rights.

I doubt they'd bury Classics just to spite Neitlich (though I wouldn't expect a Mighty Spector figure any time soon). 

It probably has more to do with it being a niche line from last decade that was only available online. They'd rather focus on stuff from retail. Considering Mattel has been using stuff from Classics (new Origins figures, the real names from the CGI show, and the Classics Castle Grayskull box art is literally the first thing you see in Revelation), they haven't completely memory-holed it.

I wouldn't put it past Dylan Price leaving Classics out in spite. Why not. Scott has been a real asshole to Mattel so fuck him. He's jealous of the new lines and bashes them as much as he can. You can take it to the bank that Mattel took notice when Scott said Origins and Masterverse were dead. You know it caused a headache for Mattel and it may have cost them sales too.

@kraken Indeed - they even felt the need at SDCC last year to address the conspiracies and misinformation that Scott kept peddling online that Mattel would lose the rights to MOTU in 2023 🤣
