MOTU @ SDCC

[Tallestblue]

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.

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.

I agree with Sky Shadow, they won't unless sell Shadow Weaver by herself although they may release some sort of variant later on (Battleground Shadow weaver?). It's a way to con you into the subscription and it is effective so they have more to loose than to gain by re-releasing the same figure by itself.

I will try my luck on ebay, chances are that it will cost an arm and a leg though.

Yeh, but probably less than the $430 total cost for the subscription hey?

Not much of an incentive that subscription at all really. Pah! That sucks, otherwise I would have been keen.

The subscription would leave you quartered

Oh wow!
Looks like there is some definite awesome-sauce in the pipeline for MOTUC collectors, those Mini-figs look oddly cool too!
