Masters Of The Universe Revelation Masterverse Deluxe Faker Target Store Release Details

Earlier this week we showed you images for a new Masters Of The Universe Revelation Masterverse Deluxe Faker figure coming from Mattel. Late yesterday Mattel released an image of the figure on social media telling people that they would be able to find the figure at Target stores this Fall. They didn't use the word "exclusive" in the text message they posted with the image, but they do have "Only at Target" at the bottom of the image they posted. This of course has led many to assume the figure will be a Target exclusive, which it may be. I am still trying to get that 100% confirmed by someone at Mattel, but probably won't get that answer until next week sometime. The reason why I have some doubts that this figure will only be released at Target is because we actually got first wind of this figure due to a listing found on Walmart's website.

Mattel telling people on social media to find it at Target may simply mean that Target is getting first dibs on releasing it like we've seen with Battle Cat and Skelegod, which eventually will be available everywhere. It's also possible Walmart simply listed the figure in error, so until someone at Mattel equivalently says this figure is only going to be sold at Target, we will just have to put that question on hold for now.

What I can tell you now however is the Target DPCI# for Faker which is 087-16-5294. The cost is $29.99 like we have been seeing with all the Deluxe figures in the line, and based on the Target system it looks like the figure will start hitting stores by end of month. The store I checked with is showing it arriving on 7/22. Now that arrival date can vary some from store to store, so every store might not get it on the 22nd, but unless something changes in the next few weeks, stores will likely have it at least in their back room by end of this month or early next month. I also don't know why the Target system lists the figure as "Trade Up Faker" (see images below). Maybe that's some kind of generic reference for it being a larger deluxe figure, but I don't think that's terribly relevant one way or the other.

I am still not 100% convinced long-term Target will be the only place to carry this figure, but it is very much looking like they will be the first to have it. If or when I hear anything back from Mattel clarifying the exclusiveness of this one, I will be sure to let you all know.
