Branching out a bit here. My first ever MOTU 200X figures.

ALl thanks to Bowspearer. Cheers man, appreciate this muchly!
They look pretty cool, but are missing something... Elbow and knee joints!!!:D You mean, after 20 odd years, the only addition is better sculpting and wrist swivels?? Now I see why MOTU fans were so accepting of the Staction figures.
Good thing I love the look of Skeletor and Buzz-off in particular. Not sure I would bother with any more to be honest. (Is He-Man overcompensating with the size of his accessories or WHAT??):rolleyes::p
Yeah, 200x figures are mostly about the sculpts than actual playability. Too bad Mattel ended up ruining it with lousy decisions during the 2nd half of the line.
The Skeletor you got is the one that came with the Battle Ram Chariot. It is my least favorite rendition of the 'basic' Skeletor figure as it has a rather plain paint job. I am also not a huge fan of the 200X He-Man sculpt and prefer the other characters. I can tell you that overall, they are not great examples of the line although they do give you an idea on articulation as they are all the same.
If your He-Man (or Skeletor) can't hold his accessories correctly, it could be that the hands have 'opened' a bit. You can fix that by submerging the hand in boiling water for 20 seconds which will make it really rubbery. Then close the hand a bit and put it in cold water where it will become solid again.
One only has to look underneath his skirt and will understand. hehehehehQuote:

Finally got my Staction Clawful - heavy as and quite big. too bad I snapped his weapon though while trying to put it in his little claw :(:(:( . I now will have to get some super glue for it, sigh

I'm so liking the molds I think I'll invest in those Stactions for the Snakemen So King Hiss can have his own shelf:)
Got back from the UK to find MOTUC Leech waiting for me. Pretty cool figure!! Nice to have my Horde growing.
Got this guy yesterday. Got to loooooove the Hordak!!
http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/...oroh15/020.jpg
I only have the original Hordak but he's really awesome.
I'm hoping that they release a filmation version though, probably one of the few variants i'd buy.
I also find it weird that he hasn't been released in his more anime accurate blue color instead of the grey. That is also one i would buy in a heartbeat.Quote:

I am there already. I have no idea where to put any new figures, specially the beasts.Quote:

Please pm me if you are able to do this so we can discuss payment.
For some reason I have been charged twice! The Mattycollector website would not check out but then the page reloaded with an empty cart (I never received the 'Order completed' screen) so I figured that the order didn't go through and tried again.
Suddenly I was charged twice for two different orders when I only saw one 'order completed' screen! I called Matty to cancel the order but the support person just told me that they couldn't do anything about it!
I only made one order yet got charged twice due to a website glitch. I should get my money refunded not told 'too bad we can't do anything about it' by the support staff, specially when I called right away.
I now have been charged $134 for stuff I never ordered! I have been taken for the Ass!! I made an order of two each to help Tallestblue but that order somehow went through twice leaving me with two extra sets of unwanted toys :mad:
I have also sent them an email but it probably won't get read until after the order gets shipped so I am screwed either way.
I am most likely going to end up with extra 2xShe-ras and 2xSwiftwinds so if anyone wants a set at cost please let me know.
Bubble power She-Ra $27.70
Swiftwind: $38.70
Man that is bullshit, surely they can sort it out.
Maybe you could contact your bank and do a chargeback?
I've never done it before but read it's possible the other week when i was having issues with paypal.
I contacted Matty again and demanded to talk to a supervisor. He said that if I reject the package upon arrival, it will be sent back to their warehouse and once received, I would automatically get a refund...This sounds a little weird to me so I am not sure if it would work as they say.Quote:

I contacted my post office to see if it was possible to reject the package and if it would get back to the sender. They said yes, so maybe what the Matty supervisor said is possible but I still have my doubts.
All I can do is hope for the best but the cleanest solution would be if I can find local buyers but I am sure anyone who wanted one has already ordered from Matty We'll see what happens.
Sorry to hear about yet another Mattycollector.com Horror story Kup :(, they really need to get that shit fixed, but it appears TallestBlue would certainly be interested in taking you up on your offer I'm sure. :oQuote:

Actually Kup was ordering Two She-Ras and Swift Winds so I'd get one wihtou having to pay for BBTS mark up. (We're talking about an extra $30 bucks, and then shipping) So I kinda feel responsible. I'm talking it over with my Sis to see if they'd be suitable gifts for my neice, but she's not yet Four...Quote:

Tallestblue's order is already covered. That's why each order has 2x of each toy.Quote:

To avoid confusion, this is what happened:
I ordered 2x She-Ra, 2x Swiftwind (the extra was for Tallestblue)
Matty Screw up happened and a second order occurred for the same figures and quantity.
So I end up with two orders:
Order 1: 2x She-Ra 2x Swiftwind (for Tallestblue and myself which is what was wanted)
Order 2 (screw up): 2x She-Ra 2x Swiftwind (replicated order so they are useless spares).
These leaves me with 2 of each figure as spares.
...And now to apply Palm to Face:
http://i1032.photobucket.com/albums/...N5bfzs7GBr.jpg
Sorry guys, I mustn't of picked up on that part about Kup already catering for TB; obviously this has lead me to re-evaluate my previous thoughts and I can now see that this is of even greater frustration for you Kup than what I initially grasped. :o
That's ok. As they say, no good deed goes unpunished ;)Quote:

Don't worry about it, it was just crap luck. Don't force a present that is unwanted and as you said, your niece is much too young. This is an "Adult Collectible" after all.Quote:

this is true. I do hope it all works out for you mate. if not, scalp the bejeebus out them.*
*Scalping is wrong, Tallestblue does not advocate scalping.*
What's the difference of bubble power She ra and normal She ra? Coz Im interested kup, I'll take a set off your hands for that price you stated... I just wanna know that bubble She ra isnt something lame looking gimmick or something.
Edit: okay I googled it and I have to say meh ( the blowing bubbles gimmick and costume), kinda lame to me, as I dont get the reference for it? Was there an old She ra version with this bubble gimmick? But, I do want both Swiftwind and She ra still please.
also if you ever do get to order for those griffin beasts, can you order for me as well, even if you end up with double on these Ill take em all heheheheheheh:D:D
The main incentive for Bubble Power She-Ra is the new 2.0 female body. Essentially this She-Ra is specifically designed to sit on Swift Wind as the Original MOTUC She-Ra simply can't. Now if you want a Filmation-esque She-Ra that rides Swift Wind you need to take the head and cape of the first She-Ra and pop into the BP body. Also Bubble Power She-Ra is a vintage toy accurate repesentation of the Original Princess of Power doll, complete vintage tiara/mask thingy, toy accurate sword, removable armoured skirt dealie and little bubble blower weapon whatsie. Personally I'm counting this as "Battle Armour" She-Ra as I've got BA He-Man riding Battle Cat and BA Skelly riding Panthor, so it just makes sense for the display. Hope that helps!Quote:

Thanks TB, I did a google search for piccies and with this info youve given , I'd like to take the spare set of kup, Ill have to keep a lookout for a cheap original release She ra so i can switch the head as Im not too sold on that headress she's wearing in this BA version.Quote:

Im looking forward to those griffin beasts and Sorceress too so she can stand in the window of Castle Grayskull arms wide open hehehe - and then be easily defeated with just a blast from Skeletor's Havoc staff - just like in the old :p:pcartoons

I will be sending a PM to you both to discuss arrangements.
Sure, no problem. It won't happen for several months though.Quote:

As you can see, without the Bubble armor, the new She-Ra is actually very Filmation accurate with the exception of the missing tiara. Therefore she can still look close the Filmation character model if you remove the armor until you can secure a '1.0' head.
Here is a review with more pictures:

Cheers, kup. The link review TB gave on youtube convinced me to take it, as I do want She ra to be able to ride Swifty:)
Ill hand my payments to you this Sunday at Parramatta fair if that's alright?
Oh, that 2.0 She-Ra is just BEGGING to be repainted into a custom MOTUC Xena.Quote:

Matty just REFUNDED the order (not the shipping, great) without my knowing whatsoever. I can only guess they were sent back after a failed delivery or something? Which is odd since they go to an office!
What kind of freaking cowboy delivers don't try again anyway? There is the chance they're still on their way and they've refunded for god knows what other reason... but i'm doubtful :(
