Pics of She Ra from Zippo...


She came sealed in this....

But I just had to open the outer box so I could gaze on her 'honour of Greyskull'.

In general the figure looks good, but she's the makeup is on a bit thick...

TheDirtyDigger
29th January 2009, 08:59 AM
Yeah that's what I thought. I also think her cheekbones are a little high and she's a bit skinny for my liking. Rounder face and fuller figure would have been more satisfying. Still....I love her and she came at an excellent price.

The thing about the She-ra figure is that it's basically just a re-tool of the 2002 Teela (and Evil-Lyn) figure.

Kinda like how the Moss Man exclusive was a just re-tool of Beast Man...

So they don't always look right!

All the Skeletors together at last!

It's gonna take all the He-mans to stop 'em!

It's also great to finally have the dark half of the power sword (to join with He-man's pure half)

The cheapest one (whatever it's called) - and it only took about 2 weeks, which is great!!

He-Man looks like he lost the fight and Skeletor pounded his face with a ram's head staff. Skeletor looks awesome - for some reason it reminds me of my old Skeletor Bubble Bath. :)

It's so hard to separate them - I think He-man is probably the better figure, but Skeletor is really amazing too!

I still think that the 2002/3 He-Man looks better than this version, though the rest of them that I have seen pictures of are all better.

did anybody use the 2 hour window to grab a Faker?
haha can't believe it sold out in 2 hours! Was actually going to order one this morning...

Robzy
17th March 2009, 10:52 AM
Yeah it's NUTS!!!! :eek::eek:

Truth be told, I wasn't actually going to get this figure anyway - but I just hope this doesn't happen in the future with figures I DO want! :(

Unfortunately Faker was the one I wanted... Did you get Stratos? he's pretty reasonably priced on ebay compared to the rest. How much did you pay for your He Man and Beastman??? You went to the 'bay for those didn't you?

Sky Shadow
17th March 2009, 12:40 PM
Sigh - I've had a crap morning for MOTU aquisitions. Not only was I asleep when Faker sold out, but I was also PMed an offer for original Hordak, Leech, Grizzlor, Mantenna and Modulok MOC/MIB for $90 US including postage to Australia and because I didn't get the message until this morning I missed out on that too!

Yeah, I bought Stratos, but he hasn't arrived yet! :( I'm hoping he'll be here in the next day or so. (It surprises me actually - Skeletor only took 2 weeks to arrive from Matty)

And yes, I did pick up He-Man and Beastie from Michael... er, I mean eBay ;)

I actually got He-man pretty cheap coz it was early Jan... about $50 I think. Beast Man was a little harder... but I didn't pay much more - I just had to be patient!

Wow 2 hours! impressive!

I'm probably gonna start collecting with Mer-man (assuming I even manage to get one) and hope for a re-release of the others.

I've 'aquired' the 2002 tv show, gonna delve into it after work, wouldn't mind actually knowing the characters I'll be buying!

17th March 2009, 10:09 PM
I guess the 2 hours thing is a little bit false though as these were available at the NYCC... I guess the convention almost sold them out.

Those 4 look really good together. How is the qc on these things have read some bad things about Stratos... floppy limbs? weak neck? In the picture they look really well put together and solid.
I wonder if they will release a battle-cat... that would be cool.

No problems at all! I simply can't recommend these figures enough! Excellent articulation and very solid construction :)

I just picked up He Man and Beastman... and I must say that they are pretty good. He Man looks much better in person. Got them for $60 each so the price wasn't too bad.

Yeah beastman is a nice toy. Still on the fence about Merman... are you going to be up and ordering at 4am when it goes on sale?? If you miss out then they are putting more onsale in a week or so...

Gutsman Heavy
16th April 2009, 01:58 AM
Damn I missed the window for Mer-Man!

Robzy
16th April 2009, 02:16 AM
Maybe not! I think Matty are having SERIOUS problems!! I've been trying to order for an hour and a half and still don't know if any of my orders got through (or worse... all 50 of them did! :(:eek:)

Not sure if they've sold out or just temporarily pulled the online ordering of it. I know there's supposed to be a second release of the figure in a few days!

d*r*j*
16th April 2009, 09:34 AM

Can anyone tell me what Mattel will charge me for one figure to ship to Australia?

lol - thanks guys! :D I don't think any of my 50 attempts even got through at all... sadly! If I miss out on the next batch I'm gonna have to settle for inflated evilbay prices! :(


Hahaha. Gone in an hour... What is the world coming to?
Yeah, I know... the problems are many; Not enough stock to meet demands (of both collectors and scalpers!! :mad:), they go on sale at a specific time which means everyone from all around the world is trying to buy all at once (which explains why their server crashed again! :rolleyes:), and the fact that these figures are quite simply incredible! They are definate must-haves!!


Can anyone tell me what Mattel will charge me for one figure to ship to Australia?Can't remember exactly, but with shipping, it's roughly $45-50 AUD! :)

Sky Shadow
16th April 2009, 04:50 PM
At least with all the money I 'save' from never being able to get these things at the time they go on sale, I'll have enough to buy Hordak and He-Ro - the two I will refuse to live without - when they hit eBay.

Chansformer
16th April 2009, 05:06 PM
I jumped on 2 hours after they went on sale - I should have known better. hopefully will have a bigger timeframe next week.

Did anyone manage to get Faker? i'm getting one off a friend in NZ, problem is he has 2 right feet.

I'm being picky with these. I'll get He-man when they re-release him and Hordak next month. Man-at-arms, Teela, Sorceress, Battle Cat, She Ra and that will probably be it.

That's for 3 reasons...

1. It's the 1st non essential character.

2. A lot of diehards are getting turned off thanks to Mattel's attitude.

3. Scalper prices are dropping consistantly.

2. eh?


Really? Imagine if all the Optimus Primes of the new line sold out online before most people realised what was going on...

And Hasbro said "yeah we will probably re-issue him in a year or 2... depends."

Imagine if you also missed out on Megatron and Starscream.
And Bumblebee sold out in a few hours.
And Grimlock sold out in an hour.

And this all happened when the american fans are at work/ school.
The Aussie and Asian fans were asleep.

Imagine if the retail for each toy was about $40+(price plus shipping) and the secondary market was forcing you to pay more on top of that.

Would you get sick of this system? Would it put you off the line?

Robzy
17th May 2009, 12:30 PM
1. It's the 1st non essential character.
Actually, I would say Feb's figure (Stratos) was the first one. IMO Zodac is a fascinating character... he's always been more important/interesting than Stratos.


2. A lot of diehards are getting turned off thanks to Mattel's attitude.I think the opposite is happening. I've been reading for months (on other forums) how fans have been saying "that's it - I'm done with the line", only to boast once a month about how their orders went through okay! Always makes me chuckle! :p

I really believe Mattel are catering to diehard fans (as opposed to casual ones) by releasing figures like Zodac and He-ro!

Plus, the quality of these things is amazing! :)


3. Scalper prices are dropping consistantly.That's GOOD news, not bad!

Zodac still being on sale is excellent news... it's how it should be! Mattel have finally listened to fans and made more figures... meaning they're available longer. I don't see how that's a bad thing at all.



Really? Imagine if all the Optimus Primes of the new line sold out online before most people realised what was going on...
He-man and Beast Man were on sale for the longest so far!! They were available for well over a month each! Skeletor was available for a couple of weeks.

People shouldn't complain about being late to the party! This line is not a mass-release, sold at retail one. It's an exclusive online-only line. These things were advertised and promoted for almost a year before they went on sale!


And Hasbro said "yeah we will probably re-issue him in a year or 2... depends." Mattel have already stated that they're going to re-release He-man and Skeletor later this year as bonus figures! They said they will re-release all core figures eventually (due to fan demand). Plus, if you check out their site, they've changed all the figures from "no longer available" to "currently unavailable".

Your post is so pro-Classics it hurts. I like the line and own both He-man and Beastman... I just don't think that Mattel have gone about this release in the right way.
They didn't release He-ro or Zodac as a nod to diehard fans as you imply... these are the characters that can re-use existing parts/ molds, making them cheaper to produce. Mattel has already spelt this out.
Dragging this release out over years is, in my opinion, just stupid. Oh well.

He-Ro is without a doubt a nod to die-hard fans. He has a new head, new forearms, new lower legs, new feet, new armour, a new 'loincloth' and a new weapon, none of which are explicitly reusable parts.

So did anyone else buy a September-December subscription?

d*r*j*
26th May 2009, 10:09 AM
I didn't... though I did consider the all shipped together option.

I guess I'm not prepared to buy any toy blindly. I'd rather miss out or pay more than get stuck with some obsecure nonsense like Zodac.

Robzy
26th May 2009, 12:32 PM
Your post is so pro-Classics it hurts.
Well, I could argue the exact opposite for you - you seem to be so anti-MOTUC it hurts! In fact, one could take it further and ask why you even bother collecting any of the figs, since you seem to think this line has some ridiculous figures, and stupid distribution choices by Mattel. :confused:


I like the line and own both He-man and Beastman... I just don't think that Mattel have gone about this release in the right way....
Dragging this release out over years is, in my opinion, just stupid. Oh well.Is this the first ever toyline that's been "dragged out for years"? I'm confused as to what you mean...you'd rather they release 50 figures all on one day? :confused:

Personally, I kinda look forward to a new figure every month. :)


They didn't release He-ro or Zodac as a nod to diehard fans as you imply... these are the characters that can re-use existing parts/ molds, making them cheaper to produce. Mattel has already spelt this out.Huh? On one hand you say Zodac's is "obscure nonsense" but then say that he's NOT for die-hard fans. Which one is he... obscure or popular?

As for He-ro... seriously, I don't even know where to begin. Who (in the whole world) apart from absolute die-hard MOTU fans would have EVER heard of He-ro???? I mean, honestly, you don't get more "obscure" than this... he's a total die-hard fan figure! Here's a link with some pics (http://toynewsi.com/news.php?catid=13&itemid=14293) (showing all new parts) and some comments by people below who don't know much about He-ro.

Of course they're re-using some parts, but at least they're making select changes unlike other toy lines (Starscream, Skywarp, Thundercracker anybody?!). Hell, I guess you could say that once you own He-Man, Skeletor, Beast Man, Hordak and Teela, then you will actually own ALL the future MOTUC figures as well - because they're just going to re-use parts to mix-n-match. Kinda like the DCUC line is doing!


He-Ro is without a doubt a nod to die-hard fans. He has a new head, new forearms, new lower legs, new feet, new armour, a new 'loincloth' and a new weapon, none of which are explicitly reusable parts.Correct!


I'd rather miss out or pay more than get stuck with some obsecure nonsense like Zodac.That just sums up what I'm saying right there! Have you watched the 200X series??? :eek: "Obscure nonsense"??? This guys is like 'Boba Fett' amongst MOTU fans!

At the end of the day it's pretty obvious I love this line (did I mention I work for Mattel and that my parents are the Four Horsemen? :p). Seriously though, I'm sorry you don't like this line the way I, and many others do. The figures really are great and I love the choices so far. If you don't like the character selections or the way Mattel are handling it, then I guess this line is not for you. So far, for my own tastes, this is the best MOTU line I've ever collected.

Gutsman Heavy
26th May 2009, 01:56 PM
Zodac is all kinds of awesome in the 200X show. If they do a 200X version in classics I'll buy!

I like the one a month rule, hell even the novelty of having to stay up to order some once a month is fun! (for me anyway!) I'm no MOTU fanatic (only seen the 2002 show, never the original, only had one MOTU fig as a kid, I thought it was a TMNT fig!) but its an awesome toy line, hence why I'm collecting!

I really don't understand all the hate this is getting.

I like MOTU and I think the concept of Classics is great.
It is the distribution that sucks, and that is the reason why I haven't bothered collecting any of these figures. Having said that I did buy Beastman (ebay) and He-man (private) off the same seller and pick them both up in person... because I like the figures.

Exchangeable heads. The one on his neck in the package is 80s toy-accurate (and was later recoloured for Stinkor), the other is an homage to the 80s cardback-art.

They look amazing but to me their size might make them look more like a doll than a action figure. It's weird, because I know how tall they are but I still find it hard to visualize, please.

Didn't order Tri-Klops... not really keen.
I'll probably get Webstor... that one looks pretty cool.
Scare Glow is a definate.
I think I'll dress my current he-man as Prince Adam and buy the re-release of He-man. I'm debating whether to paint his legs or make him little pants... so he looks less fruity.
Would love a Wun dar... but don't agree with this type of subscription. Will consider re-sellers when the time comes.
Battle Armor He-man is a definate.
Battle Cat is a definate.
I'll probably pick up Trap Jaw... although that would give me a lot of blue bad guys...

The rest of the previewed figures... I doubt it. Want Ram Man and Evil Lynn.

If anyone wants a MOTU Classic Tri-Klops or He-Ro, I have two to spare - if you want either of them they're yours for $50 each, which includes postage anywhere in Australia. Or if anyone wants my boxed and carded commemorative Man-At-Arms (above top right), you can have him for $45 shipped too.

Hey Foor - I have a spare MOSC Tri-Klops. $45 shipped to Darwin if you want him.

Coincidentally, I opened my Man-At-Arms this evening - a fun toy. Pistol, club, two swords, four pieces of armour and two heads. I've currently got him moustachioed and posed in his wrist-blaster-firing pose from the opening of the Filmation cartoon.

Any Aussies got a shipping confirmation yet?

Seems Matty collector had a few problems with Teela in the past few days, and their facebook became like a witchhunt, where the distributor Digital River was telling everyone it was sold out, and subscribers won't be getting it, and then saying Wun-Dar was going to be available for non-subs. Then it turns out it was just all lies and spin from DR's end. It all was quite interesting in a nasty kind of way.

Hope this means we non-subs overseas will get the figures. I still haven't gotten confirmation for my seperate order of Ray and Zodak so there's hope.

Well, I got confirmation for my Teela.... but not my Zodak and Ray? Totally the opposite expectation from me as I was expecting my Teela to ship who knows when.

The drama that unfolded on facebook 2 days ago was really facinating. Such venom and acid that spewed from He-Man collectors when they were told various disinformation. Actually giving physical threats to Mattel employees and personally insulting their job and families... I was in such shock and horror, but at the same time I couldn't look away.

I just bought two pages of original MOTU artwork from the early eighties! :D So excited! They're by Adrian Gonzales (who drew The Sunbird Legacy comic: http://www.he-man.org/publishing/item.php?id=464) and the story is a previously untold and unreleased origin of He-Man. I bought the beautiful pages 11 and 22:

http://www.lewiswaynegallery.com/images/12498_11.jpg

http://www.lewiswaynegallery.com/images/12498_22.jpg

I chose 11 because it's fully inked, announces that the capital of Eternia is called 'Monarch' and features Man-At-Arms, Battle Ram and the injured boy who will become He-Man (as well as foreboding dialogue and captions.) 22 is a gorgeous almost Roy Lichtensteinesque pencilled page of telling silence between He-Man and Teela.

Incidentally, the Sunbird Legacy is one of my absolute favourite MOTU stories!

He was originally a blue skinned dude (named Kronis) who was injured during the first 3 part episode, causing him to get "repaired" by Tri-Klops into (what we now know him as) Trap Jaw. Kinda like Eternia's answer to RoboCop! :D

While this shipment of Skeletor sold out in record time, we’ve now confirmed more are coming (similar to Mer-Man back in April). Hopefully the remaining order will be here in first quarter 2010. As soon as we confirm they’ve arrived, we’ll post an update.

Anyone's Scare Glow or He-man reissues arrived yet?

It's been 5 weeks and still no sign of them! :(

My Scare Glow has arrived and he's awesome. He was one of my favourite MOTU toys as a kid, and they did him justice.

You and me both Robzy

From what I have noticed I usually get mine a day or two after other Aussies so I still think they will be here before Xmas

Yeah, not just you mate... Still waiting for my stuff. But the postal strike seems to be hitting Melbourne the hardest so who knows?
