@smitty-81 Vintage was successful but you are limited to your catalog. There's not much more they could do with it. Creating new characters is a good lifeline but mix it up. Let's not rebrand this line the Snake Men.

I think adding the Rulers of the Sun was a good call but they did too much too fast, but I assume there were behind the scenes things going on. They should have mixed in PoP, 200X and NA with the VC from year two. Just to keep a good mix of returning and new characters. If they had done that they could have possibly mixed in "concept" characters, like NA Man-at-Arms or 200X She-Ra.

 

This is the way to do it. Pad your wave and slow the rollout. Offer BAF to support low interest figures. Hire better talent that won't pat themselves on the back for a line that has requires mostly no originality.

Can't argue with none of this broskis

Just wanted to say that if anyone is looking for Moss-Man, I have been seeing a good supply of him at Wal-Mart now for the holidays.

Thanks bro. Gonna go check my Walmart today. I am ashamed to admit it but I almost pulled a trigger for one for 50 bucks on ebay when it first came out. This is a lesson to wait.

They took a little longer to start showing up in store compared to Panthor but these will most likely hit clearance as well. More stores with more quantities are becoming common

@depp76 I wonder if Walmart is getting an exclusive line of Snakemen similar to the exclusive Transformers sub-lines they've been getting.

@smitty-81 Supposedly these are going to be exclusive to places like BBTS or EE, so they are saying lol.

@depp76 if true that's a better way to go than Walmart. Not that I'm interested in anymore Snakemen after Terroar and Lord Gr'Asp.

@depp76 

It's really starting to seem like the fix was in with Eternia's Choice. With all these Snake Men in the works the Snake Lair won. What a surprise.

@smitty-81 Absolutely.  I utterly despise it when they do Walmart and Target exclusives.

@kraken I've pretty much thought the same thing since the Snake Lair won.

@depp76 all I know is that I didn’t vote for the snake lair. I’ll only get it if the price is right

@smitty-81 I like that we keep getting more figures but I’ve also had enough of the snake men. Wish they’d listen to the fans

Snake lair goes live in the spring? Do we think they will offer the runner up or any of the others that didn’t make it or will we see new play sets/vehicles?

@brasco they are listening. A lot of fans have been asking for the full lineup of Snakemen. I think doing a year of Snakemen was a good idea but they should have done it earlier or after the Rulers of the Sun. They also should have done a year of the Evil Horde. Themed years could have helped the lines longevity.

@smitty-81 they asked for snakemen not an army of them lol. The horde would have been a good one. I hope we get to see the classics they did in origins

@brasco there was a lot of clambering for the artwork only characters on the org and Reptilex got brought up a lot, even though he's to worst looking Snakeman.

When did they listen to the fans? Rulers of the Sun had nothing to do with listening to the fans. The lack of She-Ra? No. The Cartoon Collection? No. This many Snake Men? No. Turtles of Grayskull? No. Stranger Things crossover? No. Finding fans who are happy with Mattel's decisions after the fact ≠ Listening to fans.
