@smokinya When you compare this release to the recent Deluxe He-Man and Skeletor (and I mean actually COMPARE what's included. Plus total deco. Deluxe Skelly was only 25 bucks more) 140 makes sense. That was before I saw the extras included to pad the cost. And even then it's way steep. They have obviously established a pricing structure and to hit it they padded the release.
I have Deluxe He-Man, Skeletor and both cats. I'm good with what I paid for all 4 of those. Totally worth it to me. I'm not giving them $235 for this. Because it's absurd. I pick and choose across the board with MOTU. If you're cool paying $235 for a minimally articulated 6" inch figures and extras to pad the cost, bully for you. You are the target audience for this release. I am not.

I don't disagree with you per se. I definitely think Orko is overpriced by a decent margin (not like I would ever want the cartoonish mini-figs he's coming with, would rather some other new accessories). He definitely comes with the least amount of "value" when compared to the other figures in the line. I'm just saying that $140 never would've happened, even if that would be more in-line with what he should cost.
I can see why people would be passing on Orko. If I wasn't in the position I'm in right now I would likely be as well. I'm curious how much the Retro Soft Vinyl Scareglow is going to cost.

that cost is crazy. If you can do that motherboard for $65 with those badass wings and cloth than $235 for that Orko is robbery.
@skeledog Exactly. And it ain't like Motherboard is going get much reuse from the mold. I would love to see final sales numbers for Orko and how orders performed in various markets.
Seems Mondo has listened and they are now including a spell book as well with the Orko figure.
@he-metayer Agreed. Adding a spell book doesn't change my opinion on the price lol.

Wut? I wasnt buying any Orkos but now I am buying 3 of them
@he-metayer I'd love Mondo to do a Supplemental offering that would augment the Deluxe (or Normal) figures. Maybe include a Keldor head, Terror Claws Brarmor, Flying fists armor/weapon, an "I have the power" sword (like included with Adam) What else?
@Skeledog RIGHT!?!? That changes EVERYTHING.
@firmpulse That's true, all I really need is a Keldor head. Now that Keldor is in Revolution, maybe they can do a Revolution version of him?
When I opened my Mondo Skeletor the cloth hood “tip” (that’s stitched down and to the back) was stitched SUPER crooked. It also seemed to interfere with some of the posing of the hood. So it snipped the stitch. I was pushing the interior out to try and get more volume at the base. I noticed something felt off. So I turned it inside out. The stitching was totally torn at the seam. Straight from the factory! (See Pic1)
I repaired the seam and wrote Mondo. They were cool and sent me a fresh hood. I turned it inside out to make sure everything looked good…Lo and behold the replacement was torn too! (See Pic2).
I got curious and asked my buddy to look at his. He turned his inside…and his was torn as well. (See Pic3)
I suspect that every single cloth hood included with Deluxe Skeletor is torn. Y’all check. Turn your hoods inside out and push out the seam until you can see the stitching. I told Mondo about all this. They asked me one question,”So do you need another hood or do you want to return the figure for a refund?”. Brilliant guys. Brilliant.
I was waiting to see how all of this shook out before I posted about it.
NOW SHIPPING: Mondo's Masters of the Universe 1:6 Scale BEAST MAN is reportedly beginning to show up on collectors' doorsteps.
We have the Power! 
Want to see some in hand pics.
Got my shipping notice this evening.
We have the Power!
All depends on price, and will they do others?

I guess this is where we differ. I've only been impressed by 5 Masterverse figures. I think most of them are awful and I'm also not a big fan of Motherboard to begin with. I've been impressed with every Mondo figure I've received so far. Only issues I had were with He-Man and those were quickly rectified.

I'm not sure what else you're expecting them to do? They offered to send another replacement hood or take the figure back with a full refund. There's not much else they can do other than look to improve QC issues on future releases. My cloth hood came with a slight issue as well. The wire around the face was sticking out a bit. I took a pair of wire cutters and got it sorted out. I understand the premise of "at this price point there shouldn't be QC issues" but I feel like anyone posting on these forums should know by now that, that isn't really possible. Someone is always going to have QC issues with their figure. Even the odd Tweeterhead statue has a QC issue here or there and those things are significantly more expensive than Mondo's line.
Regarding your comment about Orko sales (I don't know how to double quote so forgive me). I was watching the Mondo Toy Talk about Orko which was streamed during the evening on the day he went up for sale and Peter said that Orko was "doing astronomically well" in terms of sales. I doubt we're ever going to get any hard numbers out of Mondo, but by every metric the 1/6 MOTU line seems to have found an audience and is performing really well which is amazing news.
Beastman came today. And once again issues.
On newer look head, right eye pointing down, left eye pointing up, so hes a googly eyed freak.
On other newer look head that mouth is more open, on left eye pupil is painted on side so he looks like a fish. Then to top it off, I wouldn’t even be able to use this head. The peg hole is has a giant nub of plastic that takes up half the hole, and the hole is misshaped like an egg.
Armor arm bands are way way to big, the just slide right off his arms.
