That throne…..I want it……..but having trouble with that price. Really struggling with this one.
Guys, don’t worry about Skeletor’s throne. I’m buying it full price now so you can all grab it on deep discount at Ross stores later. You’re welcome.
Same, Norm, same. Always stepping up to take one for the team 🙂
Cool reveals. Syclone was one of my favorites as a kid, and this update looks very impressive!
I always thought Sy-Klone was partially some kind of clone of He-Man/Adam (hence the "klone"). The vintage sculpts for the face were similar. I noticed as a kid for sure. I thought I'd have issue with the New Eternia/Masterverse figure not looking like either He-Man or Adam, but no He-Man sculpts are the same anyway. But I think Origins Sy-Klone carries the likeness forward.
I’m all in on the New Eternia stuff.
That said, we need a New Eternia Teela and Evil Lynn yesterday.
Since I plan to try to wait for the throne set to go on sale, I just wanted to take a moment to thank @normdapito and @panthercult for their service.
I pre ordered that Throne and Skeletor set as well. I'm no hero like Norm and PantherCult though. I'm just a Super Camel who wants his Skeleton Man on his spooky spooky Throne and am too afraid to wait and possibly miss out.
As for the price, which does seem high, I think it's because its battery operated. It seems to have light up features at the flames. Still, $23.99 per figure, and then a battery-operated Throne, I feel it should be more like $49.99 US.
Saw Vykron was still available so I picked up Snout Spout, shipping wouldn't sting as much. Pretty awesome figure but the leg joints are def not tight enough for the size of the figure.
I was able to find the SDCC 40th He-man vs Skeletor pack for a pretty reasonable price, and man, this Skeletor is almost worth the price of admission alone. So much character in the year sculpt. Such a missed opportunity to not use this body and head on the throne figure. Throw in the Alcala head, and it would definitely be worth the price for anyone who missed out on the two pack.
Also grabbed a NE Beastman who's getting some paint fixes. A quick acetone wipedown with q-tips really evens out the heavy wash on his torso. The plastic under there matches his limbs really well, just need to get rid of most of the wash. Plus a fix to his blue teeth and a wash on his arm/leg pads goes a long way. Almost brings him up to Trap-jaw levels of goodness.
Can't believe I slept on this line for so long. Or, Origins just had to slow down to almost nothing so I still need my MOTU fix..
I have the 40th 2pk, but have no intention of opening it. I have the 40th solo He-Man, and was really hoping they'd do a solo release of Skeletor. Guess not.
I saw someone kitbash the MotUxTMNT Shredder parts onto a Masterverse body, I think NA He-Man. Now I need to do this.
Just got Keldor (forgot I never preordered him and picked him up on Amazon). I really love the overall look of him. Wish he came with a few more accessories, but the crowned and uncrowned heads are a nice touch. I do have to admit I get more and more frustrated with plastic robes that hinder ROM, though. If he were a more beloved character I could envision buying an extra to trim the robe into more of a tunic length, but can't justify the extra buy this time like I did with Sorceress.
I was checking out out ebay prices for Origin Sy-Klone, since I missed him on MC, and I noticed NA He-Man and Deluxe Man-At-Arms sell at premium prices. Not to the extent of Webstor, but their sold prices are ending in the $70-$90 range.
