Cyborg was going to be heman 2 and apparently battle of the stars was inspiration for new adventures heman.

I'd argue they are both worse than motu. Funny thing is I rewatched battle of the stars not knowing that whilst thinking the day before that a live action new adventure heman could be better than book of boba fett or most new star wars stuff o. O

Oooooohhhhhhh. I'm SO looking this up!

I remember Cyborg, but I didn't knew that trivia.

As for Battle Beyond the Stars, I watched the preview andcI just HAD to buy the BD.

Sadly George peppard is wasted and Robert Vaughan got paid to look up and to the side and sit down a lot hahahha. I still don't get why the main guys starship has bewbs but think it did inspire some of the star wars prequel ships.

Well, got my Eternia shipping notice from Mattel, no ETA yet. Guess I'll be busy claring space this weekend.

Got a FedEx "out for delivery" notice this morning from the Mattel address. Eternia is the only thing shipping to me from Mattel. Overnight shipping, that can't be right!

Meanwhile, no notifications across the pond - which I'm really grateful for haha.

My wrestlers and motu turtles are on their way tho. I'll have to hunt down leo from someplace else but I ain't paying over £20 for him even if wave 2 has just dropped.

I adored the Battle Armor He-Man and Skeletor as a child. Around 2 years ago I FOMO'd on the Origin versions. Since then I keep then MOSC hanging on a wall.

But lo and behold, at Marshall's, I found them for 8$can each! That's below 6$US!

I'll be opening these and enjoy them fully.

Already been done.

So far, I got He-Man and Skeletor from that wierd "new generation" series, and 4 WWE X-Over figures.

-Kanrabat- wrote:I adored the Battle Armor He-Man and Skeletor as a child.

My favourite (and only OG series Skeletor) was Terror Claws Skeletor:



He didn't come with a staff. Which I do remember being annoyed by at the time. But then again, neither did my cherished Disks of Doom Skeletor. An oversight they simply don't make with modern figures.

So apparently my Eternia is coming Monday, but I did get a box. Haven't opened it yet but I'm guessing it's Moaty.

Moatues in the eternia box, could be you got your not king gray skull before you got eterernua or its the heart skeletor pack.


Reviews have been positive so far (even if they've been biased from purchasers that want to be happy to justify how much they spent :p). It only has a few differences to the og playset but they are mainly good differences

Supposedly has the piece to connect to snake mountain but not grayskull. I'd kind of be wanting a spare/toyhax stickers set so I don't have to put the originals on, another two motor pieces incase I can get all three things whizzing around the monorail at once. Then Maybe a replacement thing for the horde dummy.
Really hoping they do hordaks cartoon frightzone/tower after the snake base.

Yeah, it was King Grayskull, Skeletor came the day before. Weird that Moaty is in his own box but comes with the playset. I guess because Grayskull was only for early backers.

Even Pixel Dan has picked up on it.

Rokkon Origins confirmed for Friday, no visible limit per custommer so maybe it will be made to order?

Going to try to get two so that my masters of the wwe the Rock will be as it should have been just need two stondars next...

Best part about Stonedar is he's only $20, I thought he might be Deluxe priced.

Got my Eternia today! The box it ships in is HUGE! Like a small fridge. I don't know why Mattel prefers flat boxes over cubes, especially for something that wont be in stores.

Also BBTS gave me an arriving soon notice for the next Masterverse wave including Keldor.

Emerje

My evri package was from Mattel, but thankfully not eternia as the packaging had a fair bit of damage but the contents inside were fine.

Still going to customise man at arms into mikey at arms and then figure out something for donnie

Well damn. I had the day, was just sitting here waiting for the Rokkon orders to go live. Go to the page... they moved the release to next Wednesday. Suddenly a lot less optimistic about getting this...

Edit: Apparently the delay is due to an issue with international orders and not some strange, random act.

At this time we are unable to accept orders shipping outside of the US. We appreciate your patience while we work to resolve this matter.

Same I'm going to have to reshuffle my work on the 21st now, - if that is possible.

Kinda glad though as they have a banner on the page saying temporarily not able to ship outside of the US!!!! Hope they fix it before the release

Yeah, that's almost definitely the reason for the delay, I just edited my post above as you were replying.

Tbf I don't think they gave enough advance notification of him going live anyways compared to their other products they do/have done even if the shipping issue is the reason.

Mattel still not shipping outside of US and they a Mattel pulse like event planned for March. Not sure how them not shipping effects anyone outside the US that pays for the memberships access but I do know I'm not going to pay scalper prices for one rokkon and really not going to be picking up two of them as planned I'll wait to see if they reoffer him down the line.

Well, if they won't sell to me, I just won't buy.

Not being "able" to ship internationally for a huge corporation is quite lazy and stupid, considering that Amazon does (mostly) and most if not all independent retailers do.

Hoping it doesn't effect eternia!!!

Looks like motu tmnt rocjsteady and bebop will be two bad style which is awesome and one less custom to do.


I'm half expecting motu selfie figures from Mattel at their March event

Apparently the international shipping issue is due to logistics and not a tech problem. Seen some reports of people's international shipments of the Eternia playset being held up in US customs. All the more reason for Mattel to open international stores and warehouses like Hasbro did.

That big Mattel event will probably kickoff the Snake Lair crowdfund.
