Love the loadout and weapon storage on Skelcon.   But I also prefer the lighter purple collar on the in-box copy from promotional stills.  Maybe it's just a lighting trick?  It still looks purple in the other shots just much, much darker/black.

The Skelcons are not online exclusives right?

@leor 

They may very well be.  Mattel has always referred to this figure as an exclusive, and even BBTS has it listed as an exclusive. So, the Skelcons are probably Fan Channel like exclusives.  But in no way am I certain of that. 

I pre ordered two of them today from BBTS.  They look great, and as mentioned above by vicious7171, the weapons and storage are awesome.

@supercamel-1982 Ah ok. Well since there’s quite a few 10% discount codes out there for in stock items, I decided to order a couple. Free shipping and the discount basically puts these at normal retail price.

I wonder if there is going to be another release of these with wings, like the one included in the box art.

I only had one Skelcon from Classics, since you had to buy a Roton to get him.    I was tempted to go for 4 of these,  but it's Christmas time and I decided to scale back and only ordered 2.    I'll probably kick myself for that -  but hopefully there will be some available after the holidays and I get get a couple more.

I saw a review or comparison and was surprised they went in that direction. That kind of thing doesn't always bother me. I'll have to see once I have her in hand. I will probably be more enamored with her classic design than I am frustrated by her limited range of motion in the elbows.

Man,  my Pile of Loot to ship from BBTS got so big all of a sudden.  That tax hit is going to be hefty.  Time to hit ship now though I think so I can get these in hand.    Not certain how I'll feel about "Armo" in person though.

@leor yeah.  and no bicep swivel, instead that horribly ugly elbow swivel joint.  I preordered her bc she looks great otherwise but I'm still torn on if I even want it.  

I've been feeling this line big time.  It's such a shame to see the line improve and then take this huge leap backwards with female figures, especially since the legs are a huge improvement over, say, Revelations Teela.  

Speaking of Teela, these same upper arms could be used on Teela or other females so I'm not optimistic about the future of female figures in this line.

@normdapito Unfortunately for me  elbros, hasknees, and side eye really irritate me. And windowless boxes.  The elbros or hasknees wouldn’t be so bad if they can at least bend more than 90 degrees. NE Lynn only has 90 degree bend which is bad considering previous Masterverse females had double elbows. Not sure if she’s sharing arm parts another previous figure that had this same artic.
