MOTU @ SDCC

[kup]

Having Toyguru's name credited for the story still feels me with a lot of doubt even if Seeley is actually doing the script.

Toyguru has proven to be a 'his way or the highway' sort of guy so I seriously doubt Tim Seeley to have much freedom to write specially when dealing with Toyguru's already F'up 'universe'.

Kobra Kahn is a massive improvement! But, Snout Spout to me looks almost identical to the vintage - just a few more details and refined proportions. I think it was mostly the body of the original one making it goofy looking? The angled eyebrows on the new version also make him look less dopey. Here's a comparison

I agree, he is very toy accurate but much of the goofiness is now gone due to those subtle changes you mentioned including a more proportionate head to body ratio. Those subtle things do make a big difference and the figure does look much better.

But why does he have clamp Champ's weapon?

Well it certainly bodes well for a future Clamp Champ release - maybe they thought that Snout Spout (being in the rescuing business) could do with some jaws of life!

Once again I've been sucked into a subscription. Of the reveals though, I'm most impressed by Demo-Man and his Alcala Skeletor head. Yum.

So.. You pay 20 bucks for the subscription and then they automatically send you the various figures. Hmm, Can they be combined with the other figure that is released that month? Considering how each time I have ordered, I have had to wait a month, I don't mind waiting 5 days if the send my Sorceress out with some other guy.

Can you opt out of figures? I care not for Fisto or the Star Sisters (whoever they are). I do want that blasted shadow weaver though!!

From what I have read, they sent stuff individually so you can't group them.

No you can't opt out of figures, they automatically charge your credit card for each one.

For an international customer, I don't think it's worth it. You loose out on money with individual shipping and you would't receive it before others as International shipping takes so long.

Certainly. As much as I love MOTUC I couldn't possibly Afford EVERY SINGLE TOY they release, i'd rather get what I can from Ebay when I have the cash for it.

That said, every reveal looks pretty sweet. And Shadow Weaver!! I've waited 25 years for a Shadow Weaver toy!

That's what everyone is peed off about. It was a very jerky move to put her up as a subscription only figure. They probably did that due to all the threats from people saying that they wouldn't get a subscription for next year due the recent streak sub-par announcements and ever decreasing QC.

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

Bah! That sucks. What's the point. Only the real major die-hard fans would bother going for the subscription then.

I would be more inclined to go for it (and still pay the $20) if they just offered a list of what was coming out before they were on sale and gave the chance to order before the rush.

Might as well take my chance on ebay for Shadow Weaver hey? I would assume they will eventually release her in the normal line, mainly due to the potential $$ in it. Probably have to wait a couple of years.

How many years has the subscription been going for and has this happend with other characters? Preternia He-man doesn't really do it for me...

They won't - everyone has the opportunity to buy a subscription to get Shadow Weaver or buy one on eBay, but as stated in the contract "The only way to purchase the club-exclusive figure and map poster through Mattel is to buy a membership to Club Eternia! These items will not be sold separately on MattyCollector.com."Shadow Weaver, Wun-Dar and Preternia He-Man will never be re-released - they're the incentive to get a subscription. If they reneged on that, people would stop buying subscriptions.
