I was surprised that instead of coming from NZ it was actually shipped from within Australia explaining the faster than usual delivery.
OhWow! Shadow beast is MASSIVE!! I thought it was based off the DCUC Grodd Mold?
It's the Gy-gor mould, which is bigger than Grodd: http://www.poeghostal.com/wp-content.../06/gygor4.jpgQuote:

Figures look cool! Can't wait to see some pics of them displayed...

Got Battle Armour He-Man in anticpation of Battle Armour Skeletor next week.
This is the He-Man I had as a kid so there's a fair bit of nostalgia there for me.
In this last week my subscriptions have come in. Bow, Preternia Disguise He-Man and Shadow Beast.
I have to admit, Bow is a lot better than I expected. Filmation head all the way for me. PD He-Man is actually pretty cool but only because of the Cosmic Key and Bionotops Gun. Shadow Beast is also good and I think the sculpt works better for this than it did for Gygor.
I also got pretty lucky on ebay for some mini comics I was after;
Tale of Teela
Ultimate Battleground
Enter Buzz Saw Hordak
Escape From the Slime Pit
The Hordes of Hordak
The Warrior Machine
Leech - The Master of Power Suction Unleashed
The Menace Modulok
Grizzlor - The legend comes alive
Hordak - The Ruthless Leaders Revenge
Mantenna and the Menace of the Evil Horde
All for $100
Yeah I didn't like Gygor very much but congratz on Pre-Eternian He-Man and all your other toys, specially the mini-comics!Quote:

got Orko and Prince Adam in the mail, mostly because I got Adora on Matty Sale day and it seems odd to have one without the other.
MOTUC Hordak and Grizzlor came in. Again, because my POP figures are expanding and they need baddies.
Awesome! Hordak looks to be a really cool figure but I feel that Grizzlor could have benefited from a 200X head.Quote:

I love MOTUC Hordak, he combines the horrid demonic nastiness of the of the NECA Staction with a nice vintage senisbility and adds some decent articulation. Grizzlor could benefit from a vintage face, but he's still loaded with enough weapons and neatness for me to not care.
Battle Armor Skeletor and Adora arrived from Matty.com today. I've waited 25 years for an Adora toy and she's pretty much perfect. Skeletor is a neat variant but was really only purchased to sit on Panthor when he arrives.
Cool. BTW, where did the matty stuff shipped from this time?Quote:

Philedelphia and then by way of Frankfurt of all places.
I'm assuming they didn't go by NZ because of the Earthquake.
That makes sense then. I just got word that a package for me arrived from Germany. I wasn't sure what that was because I had not ordered anything from Germany.Quote:

I hope they don't increase the shipping costs to compensate for their ridiculous shipping routes.
Kup, one of the reasons why the shipping is indirect is because they're keeping our international shipping dirt cheap. They don't ship the toys one-by-one from Asia, they ship them in massive crates and then send them individually from Europe, New Zealand, etc. You know how US shipping is always expensive and yet places like Bookdepository.co.uk and CDwow can afford free shipping by using weird tax-dodgy shipping from bizarre places in Europe and all over the world? Matty is doing the same thing and we benefit by not paying stupid US shipping prices on Mattycollector.com.Quote:

I've added pics here... including comparison shots with the vintage and 200X figures.
Congratz Robsy! I can't wait to pick up mine :)
....Hsss..I can see it!!! :mad:
My Hsss and BA Skeletor arrived today. There is something slightly off about King Hsss that I can't quite put my finger on.....
:D
Picked up King Hsss, Evil-Lyn and Adora.
http://kupscigar.com/2011/MOTU/100411.JPG
It's now modding time! :eek:
Got my King Hssss today, 'correctly' assembled like the rest of you i'm afraid. But, to be honest i'm not that bothered. From the back it's obvious, but from the front not too bad. It's a shame about his articulation suffering, but i think i'll put up with it rather than risk a fix.
I'm impressed with the quality of the paint apps though, the shiny bits on the shield and snake staff look awesome, and there's no splatter or missed bits, all very crisp!
MOTUC Mer-Man and Stratos arrived today. Mer-Man is neat thanks to his weapons and extra modern head, which he'll be displayed with, but stratos is a bit...meh. But they're needed as I have a MOTUC list that's I'm slowly checking off. Next Buzz-off/Whiplash and King Randor/Faker!
Nice one Tallestblue!
I like Mer-Man but I do wish they had not molded him with an open hand. It would have been better if he were able to hold both his trident and sword.
King Hiss arrived today, in a big mailer bag rather than the usual box.
Certainly hope Sy-Klone,Panthor and Moss-man are boxed.
I had an email telling me that Panthor and Sy-Lone have been shipped so its highly possible so is yours.
They seem to have random distributors. I had packages sent from NZ, Australia and recently Germany. Each have their own 'packaging way' too.Quote:

For my 30th I've bought myself the following MOTUC Toys from Ebay
King Randor, Buzz-Off, Zodac, Roboto, Faker, Whiplash, Scareglow, Trap Jaw and the 2nd weapons pa(c)k that actually has Weapons you'll use with your MOTUC toys.
Happy Birthday to me.
Congratulations! That sounds like some ultimate birthday present!Quote:

I'm holding off Getting Tri-Klops until Man-E-Faces is available because I've got the mindset of "When you buy a Goodie you have to buy a Baddie as well"
And yes, I'm 30 and still say "Goodies and Baddies".
Ok, so on Kurdts advice I signed up to Matty collector and bought Syklone and Mossman last week, as preparation for when(if) they re-release a certain character.
Today I found the one I was originally after! Good price too! HAAAAaaaappppy!

Behold his awesome gimmick!

I think I am in luuuurrve!
Panthor, Moss-Man and Sy-Klone arrived today. All are pretty awesome.
Exceeeeeept my Sy-Klone did not have his 200X back ring thingy.
It looks like it's meant to be packaged in behind the tray and clearly it was left out. Not happy.
Tell Matty right away and they'll send you a new one.Quote:
