Still looking for Kobra Khan. Willing to pay more than double original retail for a loose one if anybody has a spare....

Because Saurod loves his Reese's. I believed he killed E.T. and took his stash.
Nice pics. I recently opened Saurod and he is a great figure. I've been voting in some of the polls on he-man.org for 2017 figures and accessories, and it looks like I am not alone in wanting way more 87 movie stuff.
Signed up for next year's Filmation sub, even that new Teela face couldn't scare me enough to miss out on that Evil Seed figure.

Just got the "roleplay" Power Sword in a crate from BBTS yesterday. I ordered it when it first came up, and I would swear that it wasn't described as "foam" until months later (recently) and too late to cancel the order. Needless to say, I'm disappointed with the final result. Not as bad as Snout Spout's trunk, but I don't think it's going to last long, even if you just put it on display. Here's a photo of just one side, near the hilt. the flaws continue on both sides, along the entire length up to the bent tip.
Yeah, unless you're desperate to unload money for tax purposes, I cannot recommend these.

So I was thinking up signing up for the Classics 2.0 subscription because I love the look of the Filmation figures. Have any of you done the MattyCollector subscription before?
How much does taxes/shipping add to the cost of the subscription?

Sorry, I just saw this now. Tax & shipping varies from $5 or so and up, just depends on how many items are shipping at a time. I think the cheapest I've seen shipping lately is around $11 per box.

I'm really just hoping for Rotar/Twistoid to be on sale at the same time as the hover robots.

Im hoping they offer the skysled again, and the battle ram, at a decent discount. Some C-listers 30% off would be sweet, too.

Thanks for the info.
I ended up getting a subscription for the 2.0 figures. Can't wait!
Anyone get anything from the 8 days of cyber Monday sale? I almost resisted spending anything there this year, but ordered a full price point dread and a half price Standor at the last minute just because of the free shipping pretty much. Kept waiting for Twistoid and the hover robots.. Not this year.
Yeah I also got a Standor. Never really but fussed about him but figured at half price I'd get him for completest sake. Now I just want to try and find a custom head for him that fits under the helmet, to replace the Stan Lee head.Anyone get anything from the 8 days of cyber Monday sale?

And here I am trying to think how I could use that helmet for Netossa.
There really wasn't anything I needed. A half price Castle was cool but I had no room for it as well as the figures offered didn't do anything for me. I got the Point dread set on sale day and couldn't pull the trigger on another.
Check this out. I made the Talon fighter a 3 seater. Though it only works with female figures though.

They really need to release Netossa's helmet as a pack-in with another figure. I still can't believe she didn't come with it in the first place.

Such a disappointing sale. The first time since 2012 that I havent bought anything.
Yeah, there was nothing I want either. My credit card couldn't handle another Castle Grayskull. I got Point Dread from day of sale. It was a bummer of a sale.

new to motuc? best advice i can give you is to get the castle if you get a good deal, and sub up for the filmation figures. it's too costly now to catch up on mst of the good figures.

That's pretty much my plan. Already got my sub for the 2.0 Filmation-style figures.
Those in the UK, the collecting site www.filmandfigures.co.uk has MOTUC Battle Cat for £35 as part of a sale.
Oh, yes, yes, yes! Finally, Saurod! I'm a little late to the party finding out about his figure, but, dang, even though I don't collect this line (although Blade looks tempting), I am definitely picking Saurod up at some point. Although I've always loved the original figure, I've longed like you wouldn't believe for an updated version when the Classics line first came out. And now here he is! Oh goodie, goodie, goodie!
Good choice! The 87 movie figures are some of my favorites from the whole line. I really hope Mattel ponies up for the rights (from Warner maybe?) and makes a whole 6 to 12 figure line focusing on movie likenesses.
Oh, yes. I'd kill for a Karg or Movie!Skeletor, and maybe those black-armored troopers. Saurod came in the mail today. Love him to bits!
Bit the bullet and nabbed a Multi-Bot in the box off of eBay. I find him (them?) more visually interesting than Modulok, even though Modulok came first.
No 2016 sub emails for me yet, but I did get the Serpentine King Hssss email. Initially I was going to pass as I was mad they didn't just pack in the torso piece with Buzz Saw Hordak, but after I saw some figure reviews I caved. I feel he's a decent value since he comes with extra weapons for the Snake Men. Since Rebels is done for the season, I think I'll be revisiting some MOTU animated series for the next few months...
Speaking of MOTU, is anyone planning on attending Power-Con in L.A. in June? If so, send me a PM as I'm looking to split a hotel for Friday & Saturday.
I've not gotten anything about my Triple Ship yet. Subscriptions don't show up in the My Subscriptions on Matty Collector website until the first shipment of that sub is sent. I'm always nervous about the first shipment for triple or quarterly subs that they get to it and say oh your sub didn't go though for some reason and now the first few figures for that year are sold out.
Annnnnd Multi-Bot was sent to the wrong address. Good job, FedEx. And since they apparently don't deliver on weekends, he isn't coming to the (hopefully) correct address until Monday.
To me honest I would love the robot soldier from the 87 movie.
Multi-Bot finally came today. Woo!
The Troopers are, well, what their implies; the basic, no-frills disposable soldier. They carry blasters.
The Warlords are the ones with narrower helmets and long capes. They wield battle staves.
The Air Centurions are the floaty disc dudes.
I'm such a geek for that film that I not only know there are three distinct types, but what their names are (although I can't brag too much considering said names can be found in the end credits under a "Trooper, Warlord and Air Centurion Costumes Designed by" credit, so anyone with a copy of the movie can learn them).

Will this be Filmation Evilseed? I always thought that version looked cooler.
Also got my Club Grayskull Triple-Ship subscription email this morning. No sign of Collectors Choice Triple-Ship yet thought. I'm not sure If I read on he-man.org if it had been delayed because of Vultak being late or something.
Yeah I believe thats correct.
Yeah its the Filmation Evilseed thats coming with Club Grayskull but he is the Subscription exclusive figure.

Cool. I lack a subscription, though. Guess it's the secondary market somewhere down the line for me, heh. It's no biggie. I've got my sights currently set on Lizard Man, anyway. Him and possibly Modulok.
14+ inches of snow couldn't keep me from the mailbox this weekend.
