I hope that if they do other Snake Men they'll be better.
I'm not sure how much work it would entail - a file off here and a touch there - but it can't be much surely? Just guessing. I own a retooled Skeletor myself.
There has got to be a trading standards violation somewhere in all that. There's no excuse to admit the figure is faulty and in turn tell people they are lucky to own one.

He-Ro is here! I am happier than a pig in slop. Going to photograph the box before I open it and then I can say what colour powerstone I got.
Found out how to unlock the region block on my so-called Region Free DVD Player I got for Christmas and am watching my 2002 boxset. Been watching the Shadow Beasts episode whilst Blaise was taking a nap. Where they ever in the old cartoon?

I believe the Shadow Beasts were in the original series, yes, usually as Beast Man's henchmen.
The 2k2 series was... okay to me. It was written far better, but seemed to lack the charm of the original. Very po-faced and straight.

I'm liking the look of these MOTUC VS DCU 2 packs. A good way of catching up on earlier figs with some DC characters tagging along too.
Mer Man VS Aquaman is a good matchup, as is Green Lantern VS Zodac(k?).
Would mark out to see Orko VS Bat-Mite.

They also should do a classics Modulok! And also with extra 'build figure' peices with other classics so that those that own a Modulok can save up the extra peices or those that don't have or don't want them can swap/buy/sell them with pals.

Taking a rest from purchasing MOTU as I have a backlog of unopened figures from more flush times. Plan to open them one a month!

From the looks of the display on Stardub, you got quite a good unopened haul already.
Who do you have altogether? (opened/unopened) I noticed you now have an Adora as well as Zodac the hairy chested love god.
I need to open up He-Ro sometime. Still not done that yet.

Opened He-Ro today and got the purple gemstone version. My first opened figure of MOTUC. These are great!

Yes they are. They should be opened!
I have Vikor, Evil-Lynn, Tri-Klopps and Grizzlor to open. Also She-Ra, which I bought before the re-do was announced so I shall wait and see what that's like first.

Faker, Hordak and Battle Cat and Zodak have had cameos in the videos. But I daresay we'll do MOTU on the podcast.

Are you officially the Star-Dub co-host now, Andy?
You guys could do something on the Germany convention.

The videos are always Ralph's domain. The podcast was a joint idea, we were going o have a separate name for it but it made more sense to use the stardub name.

James Eatock has managed to shift all 1000 copies of his unofficial fan guide: he-man.org/news_article.php?id=1882That's pretty good for a fan publication in the internet age. Kudos. -Ralph |

First proper Cringer toy made if I am not mistaken.
Polly Pocket was sort of like cyberverse for the girls market during the 90's and was later masculinised into Mighty Max. I wont be surprised if Mattel later does a He-Man as Mighty Max set for SDCC or other.
The newer Polly Pocket stuff is scaled up in size a bit, but still very playset orientated (like cyberverse). A gal pal from work and I have been doing a Power Rangers crossover kids skit show for the past year called Pocket Rangers where both toylines mix it up.
The Marlena and Cringer 2pk looks like a definite must, especially to anyone who already owns a King Rador. I cant recall if Mattel ever originally did a Marlena fig or not.
Cringer's expression is very spot on!

It's the first ever Queen Marlena figure. There had been some doubts as to whether Mattel had the rights to the character in toy form, so a pleasant surprise.
Cringer is not fully articulated, but is nicely sculpted and a neat extra to pack in with Marlena. It may be the only Cringer we ever get so I'm not complaining. The expression is enough for me.
I'll make efforts to track a set down if I can afford it at the time.

That Cringer is great. It looks like the cub version of Cringer from t hat one flashback ep of the cartoon (I'm thinking about the one fang, though I'm going off memory). I'm sure they'll get the Filmation rights at some point soon, I refuse to believe Filmation are asking for any large amount at all. They're supposed to have some 'big' announcements at SDCC, maybe that is one of them? |
