CC Tri-Klops - I hope they get his colour right with the dark green tunic. The Super7 version was way too bright.

CC Leech - I'm really excited for this one since we've never gotten a cartoon accurate Leech. The recent MV figure comes pretty close, but the colour is wrong. He needs to be mint green!! I pray it's right shade this time because I doubt we'll get another shot at it.

CC Frosta - They need to nail this one because she's one of the most popular POP characters, and it's a golden opportunity to finally wash away the lingering stink of the dull grey Classics figure from 10 years ago that they never fixed. The MV version looked better, but we need a truly cartoon accurate one that's perfect this time.

Invisible Skeletor - what the hell is this nonsense?? A lame repaint that nobody asked for instead of a unique character? I hate that. Mattel is taking a page from Super7...get outta here with that shit.

Repaints help keep toy lines going,  most of the time. Also just because you don't like doesn't mean others won't have fun with it. You never know "Disappearing Act" might be someone's favorite episode.

Somehow not surprised that Walmart delayed my Terroar and Krang again, now supposedly shipping mid-September.

I had ordered them at that WM “Collector-Con” back in… May? They only shipped Lord Gr’Asp.

Given that they made Evil-Lyn the wrong color and didn't even include her cape I wouldn't get my hopes up. 

I'm more hoping for Glimmer before Frosta. Not really sure why Frosta's so popular. I found the way she fawned over He-Man annoying.

I'm curious, has anyone been seeing Moss Man and Merman at their local Wal-Marts? I've seen plenty of Krangs, but none of the other two. I'm getting worried we might have a Duplico situation on our hands...

@chrisa I'm hearing that Mer Man is particularly hard to find...

@admin Or will she??? This was just a prototype, I hope they won’t drop it for the real figure !! She-Ra is high profile though. They go the extra mile, even the “vintage” style first Origins figure had a fabric cape (and even somewhat of a skirt!)

Catra was shown with a cape too, so hopefully, at least when it comes to the "Cartoon Collection", Evil-Lyn will be the first (and last) figure to be missing a cape. 🙂

@kraken The First bunch of CC figures was a bit… soft, light in the colors. But it seems they fixed that. Two-Bad, Clawful, Spikor,… all look very vibrant.

What was up with that softness? They looked like bathtub toys. Mattel fixed that and fixed the faces too. The sculpts are looking more like the cartoon now. The first couple waves were suspect.

The problem with Catra is the panther is too damn small. That is suppose to be her and instead it looks like her pet cat.

@kraken It comes as / instead of the CC artifact in this case. Of course it’s small, but I think it’s an inspired choice that makes the most sense.

It is too small yes, but if it were bigger, you’d need to make it an actual 2-set, like with Cringer. I guess they didn’t see that as feasible.

They should see it as feasible. Catra is hugely popular - to many the main POP baddie. Putting her in a two-pack with her proper panther form would have been badass.

That small little thing is useless. 

Do we have pictures of Leech and Frosta yet?

So bummed it seems like we're stuck with that face on CC She-Ra if she's already up for preorder 🙁

@disneyboy Still not convinced that this face is final. Remember plenty of figures are still being sold using their prototype (Mutated He-Man with no translucency, Scare Glow was also a painted prototype,…)

The photos with a black background are usually done with the real figures. We haven’t seen any of those of She-Ra yet. Of course anything is possible, but hope springs eternal!

(And I still will gladly display the little Catra panther 😊).

I haven't seen a Leech or Frosta yet but a Catra two pack with her purple panther form like the Adam and Cringer two pack would have been neat. The only problem is they can't be displayed together. I mean you can but it doesn’t make much sense.

So, are we ever going to get Necro Conda???  This is getting ridiculous now.

@sci-fitsunami did BBTS change the release date? The 3rd quarter doesn't end until next month. And it's doing better than Super7's Ultimate Warrior Metalhead Michelangelo.

Yeah, but it's been like a year since he was revealed. Just release the damn thing already. Jeez! 🙄 The only MOTU figure I'm looking forward to & they can't even release the damned thing.

He's not Filmation!

He's not Turtles Of Grayskull!

Vypor, Lord Grasp, Terroar, Reptilax & Necro Conda all go into the VINTAGE COLLECTION. 😍 👍
