MOTU/POP Acquisitions

[Tallestblue]

Tri-Klops is neat toy. I'm eager to get the Classics version of him.
I'm just waiting until they make a MOTUC Man-E-Faces.

My two King Grayskulls and the weapons pack arrived, I was surprised by how big the weapons box is. I was surprised that the box was mailed from Auckland New Zealand!

So what's the deal, is Mattel distributing their toys from New Zealand?

Usually mine come from New Zealand, but this time the package came from somewhere in Europe.

The first times, they came in from NZ. I just tot it was Matty being stupid and sending stuff to NZ and then they redirect it to Australia...

Then I got something from Germany... and that worried me cos I never order from Germany LOL

I assume massive bulk lots are delivered to bases around the world and then shipped out internationally as required.

Since the package was just a plain standard brown box with a 'From New Zealand' sticker on it, I was confused by what it was since I had not ordered anything from there. I kinda suspected it was from Matty but until I opened it I had doubts as I assumed the packaging to be a Mattel box or something like that.

I had a look at the King Grayskulls - One of them has a bit of bad QC on his hair (white 'melted' spots which I assume to be from the shoulder flocking) and bad paint apps on his fist fingers - These are minor as it doesn't look too critical but still annoying. The other seems to be much better but has a bit of a tiny freckle on his face which I hope I can wipe off.

A lot of slower mailing companies go through new zealand. When I order from 'the end' records or newbury comics this is also the case... I think they use dll or something(?)
My Grayskulls and Grizzlor arrived yesterday!

My army is growing! MOTUC He-Ro and Beast Man just arrived! Thanks to Kup for passing on the details of the guy he pillaged the other week

Just got my Grizzlor and King Grayskull... My God, KG's feet are so loose and flimsy! No wonder everybody's been complaining - he barely stands up!
