Thanks kup. :)
Yeah snakeface looks like the ultimate gorgon, I saw your pics kup and i agree it is one well detailed, awesome staction. Although, have you seen how insane the price for that one goes up to? Hundreds. So with the upcoming figure from matty I'm jusr gonna get that as it looks very nice as well, though I prefer the shield that came with the staction, bigger and rotates.
The long-arm one (darn brain- remember!!!!) reminds me of the snake dude in Ben 10: Ultimate Alien.;):p
Nice snakey collection you have going there. Looking good.
I like He-Man and I love the theme song too.
Very cool Liege. My god, Mossman has come a long way!. he looks mean.
The same goes for sssqueeze. Do you have Rattler? does his head still extend?
And the guy with the outer shell that came off to reveal snakes? looks like the guy on the throne, does he still have that gimmick?
Thanks guys.
@ bidoofdude: which alien are you talking about? Mebbe a pic would help, I watch a lot of ben 10 too.:D
@g rock: yup I do have Rattlor ... aka "the general" in the 200x series and he does have the neck extension gimmick although he doesn't look as dopey in the 200x series as he does in the original and MOTUC series toywise. He's the red snakeman on the 2nd pic in front. As for the snake with the shell, yup that's him - king hsss standing atop the throne. Head snake himself ( just don't let cobra commander hear you - he has issues:p) and yup also has the snake reveal gimmick, though the snakes stunted. Would've loved it if the hidden snakes were longer and super poseable.
Mossman is actually same mold used for beastman which is why he looks feral. They just retooled it for the character, flocked him and used a different weapon and color.
@Liege: This dude

My October figures FINALLY arrived... less than a week before Christmas - man, that is SLOW! :rolleyes:
Anyways, on the positive side - I love Rattlor. And the new Weapons Pak is awesome... finally Draego Man has his whip, shield and pre-flamed sword. Love it! :eek::o
This gives me low expactations of the Wind Raider, Snout Spout and Faceless one arriving.Quote:

Oh. and Optikk. damn.
Perfect timing...
My "Filmation" Randor and final Ghostbusters Ray figures arrived today... on my Birthday :):p
My Subscription Netossa arrived today, in a pretty beat up box that looked like it had taken some water damage. the figure inside is fine tho and i'm surprised that she got here in a month. The figure itself is very pretty (because she actually looks African as opposed to a She-Ra doll painted brown) but somehow really suffers from not having her vintage sword. but that's coming in the next weaposn pack I believe. so yay for the first month of subbing going well for me. I hope Jitsu and Ram-Man don't have any troubles getting here.
Oh I keep forgetting to post these here

Grizzlor
So pleased with the PoP figures so far.
I love Grizzlor.
Tallsetblue: You going to open and do a little review for us on Netossa? I am not too sure if I can deal with Pixel dans voice today :p
yeah me too, I thought I was quite satisfied with the station in the 200x series but when I saw a review on you tube, I thought, hmm I missed on that one, so when I saw one at Parra Fair I just gotta have it. and yeah that packaging with the hair and all makes him look dopey funny. I was thinking Tasmanian devil when they said - ferocious figure with fur...:D
Because Tets asked so nicely (And GODS, what I won't do for attention!)

Netossa here is the first figure in the 2013 Club Eternia subscription. As far as first up figures go...she's....Adequate? Much as last year started with the middling Princess of Power three pack of the Star Sisters January brings us another lovely Rebel to grace our shelves. But how does she stack up against past MOTUC Maidens? let's find out!
Sculpt- I would have to say that Netossa is one of the prettiest (if not the prettiest) girls the line has to offer. The Four Horseman have taken their cues from the Filmation cartoon where Netossa was portrayed as an African warrior maiden, and works much better than the design choices used for Frosta to make her stand out. The vintage Netossa doll used a repainted Peekablue body with white and blue highlights. that is replicated here in detail on Netossa's gauntlets and boots which will no doubt see reuse when it's time make Peekablue herself. Netossa's skirt is solid affair that does restrict movement, no high kicks or deep lunges happening here i'm afraid, but like most of the female MOTUC characters all you really want her to do is stand there and look pretty so it's not so bad.
Articulation- Netossa's poseability is pretty much the MOTUC standard using the Female 2.0 buck with the waist swivel AND adds the original lady thighs with the built in thigh swivel. her head is on a ball joint but the hair being quite solid means that's mostly useless aside from a tilt to the left or right. Her arms feature a ball jointed shoulder, upper arm swivel, elbow joint and wrist swivels. Legs feature a ball jointed hip, thigh swivel, knee joint, ankle joint and slight ankle rocker. Netossa's legs are an all new sculpt below the knee and removes the calf swivel that Teela and other have, but that seems to be the norm for the Princess of Power characters going forward.
Netossa won't outod Spider-Man in terms of poseability but she has enough to take on the Horde for a decent display on your shelf.
Accessories- Here is where Netossa falls short. Her accessories are Her shield, (The same Princess of Power shield we've seen three times already, Except in two tone silver, a bone of contention with me for sure)and her Cape.
That's right. Her cape. now the vintage had a feature where the cape could be removed and used as a net, and yes, Netossa's cape is removeable but it is nowhere near as functional as the original. It's made of a solid rubber that feels much sturdier than Leech's net but that sturdiness means it just hangs there doing nothing. Nothing terribly exciting. I feel I'd be more satisfied with Netossa if she had come with her vintage sword, itself a repaint of Bubble Power She-Ra's. YES. that sword is coming with the next weapons pack but still....MOTUC figures are now nearly 40 dollars with shipping from Mattycollector and feels like this go around I haven't gotten my money's worth at all.
Overall- I love She-Ra. As a wee Tallest I found something more thrilling to her adventures than the pat status quo of He-Man. There are many reasons why you should own Netossa- She adds to the rebellion, She's a Stunning figure, She's only female of colour in the entire line, She has a potentially saucy history with fellow rebel Spinnerella and once she gets her sword she'll be perfect.
Five stars out of five? Not quite but close. Four and Half.
Forgot to post these, but got her a few weeks ago , really like her....

http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/b...pse87f9725.jpg
Argh! - Very jealous of that Snakeface Liege :eek::cool:, I totally missed the boat on that one. :o
you know that guy who was selling always on stage at Parramatta fair, he has one on sale at the Penrith Collectamania today. nobody was buying it, so If by any chance it didn't get sold - just rush up to the stage on Parramatta fair day so you can score him,although I think BBTS might still have some. either way hope you get one :) its a creepy looking figure, but it completes off my Snakemen cast (even if some of em are just statues hehehe.Quote:

I didn't see one in his sale display there at Penrith fair kup, but then he may have more at Parra fair.Quote:

Slush head is amazing, I remember buying the original in toy world when I was a kid, mum and dad having this huge argument over why I should/ shouldn't have this toy made him more awesome :D
Hehe, that's awesome! :DQuote:

I really dig that Slush Head retains the ability to have water/liquid within his helmet; sure it sorta sucks that as a result he loses all head articulation, but the figure/character just wouldn't be the same without it. :cool:
Slush Head looks epic!
Hursty i also really like your two tone walls. VJs on the bottom and plain on top. Been thinking about doing that to my house.
Congrats Hursty! finally you got Snakeface ei?:D:D:D
Also glad I had a peak coz I didn't know that the 2 little snakes come out/attach at the hips by removing part of his armor. They do now heheheh.
As for me I can't believe I totally forgot to post this here ;O
Finally found a really cheap MISC Zodak from the Phil Toycon I went to while on holiday which completes (for me) my 200x series figures that I'm after. an of course Bright Moon's Princess from BBTS.

I'm expecting more POP figures to come soon...just waiting for my BBTS order to bulk up a little before hitting the Ship my loot button hehehe:D
One day before I go to Japan and mattycollector managed to scrape in there and my minifigure scareglow/ stratos showed up in the post.
Bloody surpised at that, didn't think they'd make it. Maybe paics another time.
Cheers Liege! :DQuote:
