Got shipping notice for Orko yesterday. Of course its being shipped straight from China. Im probably one in a handful of people excited about this figure.
Why do people want a deluxe Mer-Man? Missed out? What more could they do? Still the best release, pretty much perfect.
I think its mostly for people who missed out on the original releases. Personally, I feel like they could do a reissue on the non-exclusive Mer-Man for those who want him. That way they get their figure and we don't need to waste development resources on trying to outdo an old figure that is perfect as is IMO.
EDIT: I'm excited about receiving Orko too! Not excited to pay the duty on the figure though 🙁

I don't know if mine is being shipped straight from China though that might explain why the message I got said it would need to be signed for. Never had to sign for any other Mondo figure.
@lordofdestruction all 3 times mondo has shipped straight from china, the emails said about signatures, and all the times dhl just throws it on porch and leaves.
Orko came yesterday. He looks great. Filmation versions are nice.
only issues, main Orko stand is wobbly af, and dree had a hole up inside her for the stand stick, but Orko do not, so i had to drill one, because i hate those cheap holders they gave for them.
I really hope they do an exclusive filmation cloth version without the vest.
I'd love a Filmation inspired Mer-man like the Trap Jaw we got. Mer-man came out before I got into Mondo.
Would also like Man-at-Arms to get similar treatment.

Definitely not opposed to Man-At-Arms getting a Deluxe version as I think the original release is still more in-line with the older style figures. As long as Mer-Man was going to be something new and interesting I'm not opposed to it. I just don't think he needs one.
Also @admin looks like Scare Mare and Deluxe Scareglow were shown off at Monsterpalooza alongside the new soft vinyl colorway for Scareglow. Planet Eternia Article and Pictures and Parks and Cons YouTube video on it.
WOAH! Dude! Thanks for posting this! Kind of hard to tell what’s going on with SG. The bones on the thighs have the sculpting exposed. Seems like they plan on dropping on a transparent thigh piece. Could be very cool.
The wing span on Scaremare is CRAZY. It looks like 4 feet!

No problem! And yes I had the same thoughts regarding Scareglow. His sculpting is coming across a bit strange without the paint apps. They could also be exposing the bones so they're more prominent when they're glowing in the dark against the black background of the thigh?
The sculpt on Scaremare is looking deadly. Apparently the wingspan is longer than they were originally planning. Might have to purchase it in the end. Especially if his mane is a nice translucent green.
Apparently we're getting some big new reveals at SDCC this year as well.
@smokinya I'm really hoping Scareglow is cast in all GITD semi-translucent with bones painted black. Except the skull. Seems like that will more closely capture the classic look.
The wingspan on Scaremare looks close to 4'! That's just bananas. Looking forward to whatever reveals they have in store for SDCC. ESPECIALLY, a 1/6 Lion-O. Hopefully we see a proto on that guy.

Wings that wide is seriously batshit crazy. It makes it so difficult to display. Translucent GITD will be a good look. Let's see if they do that.

Sorry! I missed this tag until now. Thanks so much for bringing this to my attention, I really appreciate it!
We have the Power! 
Gonna wait until final pics after scareglow is painted, but as of now, leaning to a big no. And that horse, those “arms” look stupid way to long and fat. If your gonna do a horse, give us swiftwind first, then make garbage after.
And enough with all the redos. The only thing that HAD to be done was heman/faker scuplt.
And also enough with old man wang, he doesn’t need a deluxe.
This line is just gonna go in circles if people dont order the first time around,” i missed out so remake a figure”, then the next group that didnt order the new one will be crying for a new remake. Motu has way to many cool characters that would look awesome in this line, but will never get to them if its nothing but the same group being redone.
And that horse, those “arms” look stupid way to long and fat.
Bro I didn't notice this at first but after you mentioned it I looked again and you're right! They look like human arms with fists holding the wings!
😂
🇺🇸 SNOUT SPOUT FOR PRESIDENT 🇺🇸

That would be a very interesting look for the character. I'm digging the head sculpt and the cloak he has so far. Really liking his scythe too. Based on the concept art for the figure it seems like he's getting multiple different heads and a variety of weapons, including a bone whip and his classic scythe as well. The wingspan on Scaremare is insane. Makes you wonder what Swift Wind will end up looking like when they get there (assuming that'll be next year). Might make it hard to display though.
I think the MOTU reveals at SDCC are going to be insane. They've mentioned a few times offering us a new way to display our figures. I would be so stoked if they made some larger figure stands/mini diorama's we could use to display the figures.
I think they'll smash Thunder Cats out of the park. I've never watched the show myself though. I grew up watching 200x and watching the 80's He-Man with my uncle so Thunder Cats wasn't on my radar like MOTU was.
@banthafett I definitely agree with you on the redo's. I don't think we should be wasting development money and time on re-releasing old figures. Especially when we have so many Evil and Heroic warriors to make AND the main Snake Men and Evil Horde cast still at large. I would like to see a Deluxe Faker though since the first one still has that old sculpt. I pray they don't end up redoing Keldor. I've always felt he was kind of a useless character for the most part because he's much less interesting than Skeletor.
Seems like the hitlist for the Mondo team is: Man-E-Faces, Buzz-Off, Sorceress, Kobra Khan, Clawful, Whiplash and Tri-Klops. Or at the very least that's who Hector and Peter seem to chat about the most.

Bat wings are the animal’s arms and the wings are created with skin spread between the “fingers”. So if a horse is gonna have bat wing styled flappers it makes sense.
EXTRA, EXTRA, READ ALL ABOUT IT!! IGN HAS AN ARTICLE ON SCARE-MARE AND SCAREGLOW @admin
Was surfing the net this morning at work (I love my job) and came across this exclusive article on IGN regarding the release of Scare-Mare and Scare Glow Deluxe. I linked the article above and there is some teaser images of Scare-Mare as well, but I'll put some highlights below for everyone who doesn't want to read the whole thing.
Scare-Mare Info
- Features mixed media elements like removable armor and cloth components. The wings, tail and mane all glow in the dark. The figure has a massive 54-inch wingspan, though it also comes with swappable spectral energy pieces for the more space-conscious collectors out there.
- Scare-Mare is being inducted into the MOTU franchise as Mondo developed an entire backstory for our ghostly steed
- Backstory for Scare-Mare is going to be explored in a mini-comic included with Scare-Mare purchase!!!!
- A physical copy of the mini comic is included with the Scare Glow Deluxe & Scare-Mare 1:6 Scale bundle, while those who purchase just Scare Mare will receive a digital copy (interesting that the release of both figures will be jointly tied together)
Scare Glow Deluxe Info
-"For us this is the end all, be all of Scare Glows"
- Deluxe Scare Glow is going to have actual sculpted bones rather than the typical decal placed on the body. All the bones on his body have been sculpted and yes, they will fully glow in the dark
- Also included are accessories that showcase his human form Karak Null, as well as a fun zombie-fied version of Karak Null's head
- "This new Scare Glow truly feels like it lives up to the style that we've developed in our MOTU line over the past few years. Without bias, it's my favorite figure we've ever done!"
Lots of pretty exciting stuff. I might have to end up pulling the trigger on the Scare-Mare/Scare Glow bundle since I skipped out on the Sky Sled. As always interested to hear everyone else's thoughts
Got email 2 days ago saying teela will be on the way. Shipped in waves. Probably from China again.
Having just returned from vacation, my wallet is not excited at all about Scare Glow and his steed coming out any time soon (I kinda wish this was a later in the fall/Halloween season release).
I almost forgot about Teela! I managed to win her during one of Mondo's Toy Talk giveaways and it's since slipped my mind. I found that email in my inbox about her shipping soon as well.

wow, congrats on winning Teela.
Im skipping Scareglow and horse, dont need a third scareglow. Unless final pics of him blow me away.
so when Teela comes, Im caught up with everything except those rainbow warrior figures and the Rev Skeletor. My green Trap is sitting in my loot at bbts, so when my days are up he and teela should be here around same time.
The only redo/update i really want is a Faker with new sculpt and see through orange battle armor. Only repaint of Teela I’d probably get would be Green Goddess. Now Evil Lyn i want filmation, vintage toy, and 200x, if they do the colors right on them.
