FUN FACT: Terroar's name was going to be "Horroar". Until someone at Mattel said it out loud and realized that they probably shouldn't name him that.

@chrisa they said in The Toys That Made Us that they did try to get away with some lewd names and were sometimes surprised with what they did get away with.

@durendal I remember one. They said Mer-Man was originally called Sea-Man.

@chrisa I'm sure that FISTOR would not have made the cut.

Evidently there is a running change on Cringer. One version has flat gray paint on his closed muzzle and the other has glossy gray paint on his closed muzzle (the open mouth heads both seem to have the same semi gloss paint). I picked up both at different Targets in the Dallas area. Anyone else notice this or know which version came first? I can't decide which one I want to open!

@depp76 look I get it. A lot of us don't like it but it's by no means "shit" as the comic would suggest. Mattel didn't make a bad playset they just delivered a Ferrari when all we wanted was a simple economy car.

Jokes like this are tacky and make us look like a fandom with little to no class. Most of us are in our 40s, we should be better at voicing our options.

You're reading too much into it and taking it way too seriously.  I don't think what they came up with is s*** either, but it ain't good.  It just gave me a laugh within all the negativity of this thing going around. 😁

@depp76 I will say there are certain aesthetic choices that are not good with the place at, but the general design is actually really good. It might be a bit too big for display when opened but it's got everything you'd want in a playset and a bonus vehicle included.

Dude! They delivered a Ferrari? Come on lmao. Bigger don't make it better and it definitely doesn't make it a Ferrari.

@kraken ok they think they delivered a Ferrari. My analogy still works. Besides that it's subjective, there are fans that really like the Snake Lair that was presented.

@smitty-81 I know it's subjective but it's hard to look at that and think anybody thinks it is a Ferrari even Mattel. There are a lot of cars between an economy car and a Ferrari. I'll call it a box truck. The cartoon works because the Snake Lair has the color of shit and many people think it's shit. 😂 It's like a political cartoon.
