Well, I'm about to give one of those elephant-shaped-horses a boost! Because how could I not love a man with an elephant's head who squirts water from his snozz?

Even-stevens!
Surely it won't come down to Blot to make the casting vote?

Hmm. I think if you're going for consistency, then the battlefield two pack was a Target exclusive but if you include Teela and Zoar that'll probably be out by next Wednesday, which would be nice.

I just realised I forgot about last weeks poll. Unless I did vote and forgot all about it. But I would have went for the Eternian Guard, so maybe I didn't after all.
This weeks easily is Grayskull. There is just no competition. The Battlefield warrior is a US store exclusive, so too pricey to pick up in the UK, especially when they are characters I already have. SO I would be buying it just for the dragon things and Eternia base.
The Sky sled is decent with it inter changeable parts that can be a Master or Evil Warrior vehicle. In really should have come with an army builder figure such as an Eternian guard instead of Adam. Plus this was before they fixed teh power sword, so this version keeps popping out of Adam's hand as the handle is too thick.

I would have waited if I'd known that - actionfigure411.com doesn't have any sale prices listed for it, so I thought it was some way off. Wave 9, on the other hand (Mantenna, Pig-Head, etc.) has apparently been released and has US auction selling prices listed, though I've seen no sign of it yet on eBay UK (unlike Snout Spout and Leech, imports of which are available). The line between exclusive and non-exclusive is a difficult one to draw. Keldor and Kronis are officially exclusives but easily obtainable over here. They have been consistently on FP London shelves for the last year or so. I'm willing to scrap this week's poll and do it again differently if someone can suggest a more logical way to proceed.

Right, I'm scrapping this week's poll, as I agree it's illegal. It says 'non-exclusive' in the question, but one of the options is actually an exclusive. Dammit, actionfigure411.com, I was looking to you for infallible guidance, and you put some exclusives elsewhere than on the list of exclusives!

No, no, I meant you magically got Leech released during last week's poll so you could try it again this week with Zoar, but you're right, the nearest release dates for that are all in the autumn.
As for what is an exclusive or not, I'd probably go by it's original release as stated, so even a store exclusive is an exclusive despite being widely available, or one that becomes widely available after it's initial release.
Or you could do levels of exclusivity, store and con exclusives tend to be seen differently.
It's all a bit of fun though so it doesn't really matter.

Prince Adam and the sky sled for the simple reason they weren't exclusives and still easy to pick up at a reasonable price.

That's harder than it looks because there's a little bit of new moulding for Duplicat that makes that set quite appealing. I'd get one if the chance was there.
However the Sky Sled is a neat addition to the display. It doesn't do a lot compared to all the other vehicles, but it looks good. Beast Man is riding mine.

That week's question ("What is the best Origins Deluxe non-He-Man good guy toy?") didn't have 'non-exclusive' in it. Likewise with flocked Panthor. ("What is the best Origins individually sold big cat?") Yesterday's original poll was the illegal one because it specifically said 'non-exclusive' in the question, but one of the options I gave was an exclusive. Martin |

The Battlefield Warriors two-pack is interesting because it establishes that while He-Man is strong, he's not invulnerable like Superman, and can be wounded on his non-armoured bits.

Haven't seen the Prince Adam/He Man two pack and it sounds like a nice set so will vote for that.
Also proves that they are completely different people if they can be packaged together at the same time.
Edit: Is it a two pack? Looked and can only see He Man dressed up like a grunge teenager Prince Adam.
