Just as we were ready to confirm our list of products for Tuesday’s sale, Evil-Lyn went all diva and decided she would be a no-show. Luckily, The Goddess offered to check her ego at the garden gate and has stepped in to take her place, so once again, good triumphs. Take THAT, Evil-Lyn!*

So, here’s our really, truly, final list of products that’ll be available on Tuesday, January 18th:

* Ghostbusters Peter Venkman (Courtroom) Figure
* MOTUC Vikor He-Man of the Nort
* MOTUC Eternia Palace Guards 2-Pack
* MOTUC The Goddess Figure
* MOTUC Castle Grayskull Diorama & Stands

Please note The Goddess won’t be a re-issue; we’ll be offering remaining customer service stock. As always, the sale starts at 9 a.m. Pacific (12 noon Eastern), so don’t forget to mark your calendar.


P.S. Evil-Lyn can’t play coy forever. Her reissue is still coming; it has just slipped out a month or two. Look for an update on availability soon.

OMG that's awesome. Cute sword too. (What she should look like from the front):

I have a subscription, so fortunately only Shadow Beast completely sucks, the rest are all good.

That Schedule list is awesome!!!

All the reissues are exactly the figures I want which I missed and are currently too expensive on Ebay. The only figure outstanding would be Scareglow & Zodak but these are not 'wants' like the announced reissues.

Kick ass news when it comes to Catra! Too bad she doesn't come with a voice chip so you can hear her awesome but stupid 'nails on chalk board' voice!

Forgive my Noob-ness,

Would I be right in thinking that a Classics Skeletor Reissue has been and gone? :o
Also, is Keldor a Reissue of a 200x line figure or is it a Classics figure? :o
(Feeling very 200x Orko-ish right now :p)

Classics Skeletor has been reissued about 3 times. The last time was very recently on Cyber Monday (Late November). If there is another reissue it probably won't happen for a long time but variations of Skeletor will be sold such as the up and coming 'Battle Armor' Skeletor which is the same toy but with armor.

Keldor is indeed a MOTUC reissue but this is not a reissue from a previous line. What they call reissue in MOTUC is not the same as in G1 in which the term 'reissue' is specifically referring to a re-release of a vintage mold. This Keldor is the re-release of the Classics figure sold last year.


This is MOTUC Keldor:

Fark Me that is cool!!! :eek::D:cool:

Cheers for clearing that up for me dude, man I would love to get a hold of one of those Keldors, he looks awesome man! :D
Looks like I'll just have to save up and grab a Classics Skeletor of eBay then, some of the asking prices are just insane though. :(
My first and last He-Man figure was an original Battle Armour Skeletor, my Brother had a Hordak figure and my only gripe with them was that they were friggin' horrible to try and stand on their own, so Hello Classics! :D

BTW, where are you up to in watching 200X MOTU?

I have been re-watching it and almost at the end but I am surprised to find out how much more I am enjoying it now than the previous time I did.

Hursti, if you want a MISB Skeletor (99% complete - missing only one tooth), they're still on sale with Mo-Larr for $50 shipped to Australia: http://www.mattycollector.com/store/matty/en_US/DisplayProductDetailsPage/productID.201936600

That's a good alternative but yeah, you do have to forgive the goofy tooth gap since this is a 'joke' release but you can always paint over it since it's a very simple '1 second' paint job.

Second Skin - Season 2. ;)

I've got to say, knowing that the show was cut short, ending after the second season, is kind of saddening because I'm really enjoying this series. :(
I've learnt so much about the He-Man universe from it, especially who's who and who are Eternian allies and Enemies. It's a really well written series too with decent arcing, story-wise, and character development. :cool:

The Snake Men, which I knew nothing about, are such an awesome angle to throw in as I'm digging King Hiss and his minions. :D
I remember seeing the original figure of the Snake Man that turns his enemies to stone as a kid, he had snake tongues that came out of his eyes, shoulders, chest and arms didn't he? - A really cool figure I thought, can't remember his name mind you. :p

Cheers for the heads up dude :D,
I'll keep that in mind seeing as though it's a 2 for 1 deal, but I'm really just after Skeletor - A damn good price though hmm...

You are exactly on the same episode which I last watched :)

Glad to see that you are enjoying the series and overall it is very faithful to the original 80s franchise when it comes to the characters so you pretty much get good knowledge of the MOTU universe as a whole from watching it.

The 'Male Medusa' Snake Man's name is Snake Face.

Although they are all awesome characters, aside from Kobrah Khan, all the Snake Men have these goofy names like Rattlor, Tongue Lashor, Ssqueeeze and of course Snake Face.

The thing is that this incident opens another issue. What if the awesome reissues they have announced for this year gets taken out to put evil-lyn in or worse, they get swapped with a less popular figure as it's happening now.

good point.. i assume they did this as the item is not ready to ship right now.. but then i guess it might be a "bonus" addition down the track. it not a good situation to be in...

It's not going to be a problem. There's no reason to worry about missing anything - they just keep reissuing everything over and over in some form or other.
