Right on! Wow...Never noticed how...alternative Dr. Mindbender's outfit was til now. hmm.
My Thunder punch arrived today. Talk about a wait! Looks great though!
My POP acquisitions from the recent Parra Toy Fair
Shadow Weaver and 200x Staction Grizzlor - love the hair on this fella :D:D
http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/b...s/DSC01955.jpg
Congratulations on Shadow Weaver! I really like her.
Thanks, yeah despite the fact she aint poseable from the waist down much, she has a lot of personality for a figure. Im thinking now of getting the rest of the Horde characters(again, a bit too late to jump on the Bandwagon, thisll be costly) - lesse, there's just Catra, Grizzlor, and Leech so far right?
Plus Hordak, Hurricane Hordak and Adora. With Horde Prime and Mosquitor upcoming.Quote:

A favourite of mine since childhood. All thats misisng is the loud cracking noise of the cap powered feature.
And of course the newest baddie on the block-
Draego Man!
http://i1249.photobucket.com/albums/...icture0445.jpg
I'm hoping his flaming whip and shield will be part of the next weapons pack or an accessory to Dragon Blaster Skeletor.
And just for fun-

All the ways Mattel can milk a mold.
That's a fraction of the milk - there's at least Faker, Battle Armor Faker, Wun-Dar and TRU two-pack He-Man to go with them. :)Quote:

Awwww Man I completely forgot to put Faker in that pic!!
My missing Kobra Khan finally arrived but not happy that I had to pay an extra $10 to pay what was essentially DR's mistake :(
http://kupscigar.com/2012/matty/250512.JPG
Haven't posted for a while here... my Kobra Khan, Draego Man and TP He-Man arrived the other week. I love them all - can't decide on a favourite! :o
Reversed Arm Stinkor and Slush Head have arrived:
http://kupscigar.com/2012/matty/120612.JPG
I was thinking of selling Slush Head at cost as I don't really care for NA (although he isn't a bad figure) but no one seems to want him so I will see about turning him into a Snake Man.
poor Slush-head.
Got my Stinkor the other day. Pretty fast considering how slow it's been all year.
My God those forearms are even worse in person :eek:. I honestly thought that, although I was annoyed, maybe I could live with them. But they are terrible... Really awful. whether you believe it was a deliberate decision or not (I don't!), how ToyGuru has convinced anyone that it was a good idea is beyond me :rolleyes:
Stinkor certainly 'pops' doesn't he? :rolleyes:Quote:

There are always people like that who will blindly follow and defend authority regardless of how abusive it may be. Scott has set himself up as 'the king' of the MOTUC line and people will defend him to the bitter end just because he is in charge and providing them figures no matter how much he may abuse his position. You will also notice that those same people have a deluded view that Scott/Mattel is 'doing us a favor and that we should be grateful for anything they give us' mentality as if we are a charity case rather than customers paying good money for supposedly premium products.Quote:

Yeah, it's one of the (many) reasons I don't interact much on the Org these days. Some of those people are scary Nuts! :eek:
Stinkor and The Mighty Spector arrived today from BBTs. just got back from work so I will post pics/thoughts tomorrow.
Thanks to enjoying the old cartoon again I finally bit the bullet and bought Classics He-Man on ebay. If I'm happy with it I'll get Skeletor as well. Maybe Battle Cat too but no more. I spent too much on MotU200X to start again with Classics. :o
You may be better off getting them from the source rather than eBay - Matty's international postage is great value: http://www.mattycollector.com/store/...oryID.12422000Quote:

Did anyone else get the new digital comic? If you don't want it, you can at least click preview to see a few pages and get an idea. It's by Geoff Johns, so it should be no surprise that it features Sir Laser Lot. It's... almost okay. It's definitely not fun and it's not nostalgic - for a 'spotlight' story I would have preferred something that read like an old minicomic - sadly they made far more entertaining comics as a free pack-in than this. This should have made me excited or had a 'wow' moment or some fantastic 'Easter eggs', but it just doesn't.

There's an Eternia map, Beastmen and references to Scareglows and (sigh) the amazing Agent Spector, all of which are a bit meh. And evil Evil Lyn and Mer-Man look... unnecessarily different. I do like Sir Laser Lot's mace and Hordak's or Horde Prime's skull seems to play a role in the series, which could be interesting - certainly that's the highlight of the issue in terms of hope for a decent series. The best thing this does is give Sir Laser Lot an identity, which should help sales and enables us to 'care' about the toy (although bizarrely, it also seems to contradict Laser Lot's own bio.) Naturally I'll keep reading these, because any MOTU comic is better than none, but I do hope they get better.
Matty order has arrived. I just need to wait for the second part which is an extra Griffin for LiegePrime.
http://kupscigar.com/2012/matty/040712.JPG
The Griffin is actually very impressive, photos don't do it justice. The detailing and paint job is at the same level as the Stactions, actually, the overall look is very 200x looking to the point that I think it fits in better with that line.
200x Beast Man would probably be more to scale too as the Griffins in the 200x cartoon were huge.
Oooh can't wait for mine to arrive and get my mitts on em. Well, they most certainly look more 200x (the griffins) than the old school series which is why I reaally wanted one for my 200x Beastman to ride on:)). Thanks btw again kup!Quote:

He looks pretty awesome in package. I guess Skeletor is next. :D
Awesome! It seems that you got a He-Man release that actually has the hair glued on properly!
^ Another undocumented MotUC special feature I take it? ;)
got mine in the other day too (MOTUC that is), just waiting on myspare beastman to open (finally I get to open another figure!!!) and pose inside the griffin packaging.
in other news, Green lion arrived with inner packaging straps that hold it in place all broken up, but still pretty cool to deal with!
Yep.Quote:

It's a common problem with re-issues
The first batch of Reissues with corrected shoulders and no eye "make-up" seem to not have this problem. Though I assume they're rather expensive now.Quote:

With Hordak it brings my MOTUC collection to 3, though I have one more figure coming later in the week hopefully.
scored me a 99% complete Grayskull weapons rack accessories set up.(no flag though)
and no, the missing 1% is NOT the pistol!!! (took me 10 years, finally got one!) the extra spear, mace and sword make up for the missing part. 10 points for whomever guesses what is missing without resorting to a web search!
Still displays good though.
