@asterstar i love Mr. Home Arcades stuff.

I gave it a turn. What is that voice he is putting on? I found it a bit daft.Â

@asterstar Nice find bro!
Â
@asterstar looks like he's made from translucent plastic but it's so thick you can't really see through all his parts.
Does that defeat the purpose?
Â
@he-dad oh. Lol. Now I’m back to not liking it. We’re getting alternating views of opaque vs translucent skin. The translucent is obviously way better. Fingers crossed. Maybe the translucent ones were just used in some promos and aren’t going to be sold. Would still love to get my hands on one somehow.
So it looks like it is a mix of both so where does that land on your like meter?

@he-dad Yes and no. It really depends what what look they were going for.

@he-dad logistics. They have to pack and ship everything from Mattel HQ to toy shows all over the world. The product samples need to be at HQ for photography and other promotional stuff that's done in house. People in the toy business either don't care if the final product is different or they better understand that what they see it not the final product.
Still kinda seems shady.

@he-dad it's really not, nearly every business that makes any kind of product does it. Kenner use to put a disclaimer on their packaging, "product and colors may vary" just incase they made changed between photography and final production.

@he-dad If we get the same thing as Mr. Home Arcade, then I love it. Seems like they tested out a few different materials, which I appreciate. They are really trying to make a quality product. Love how this video showed him outside and under a blacklight. I'm actually getting really jazzed about the mini comics. The stop-motion video did a good job of piquing my interest about the story without giving a lot away. This marketing team deserves an A+.
@elder I know it's daft. I love that sort of thing. You should watch some of the motu commercials he makes.

Sweet! The blacklight gave it a cool look but that's just not practical for me 😂

He really towers over retro Donnie. I keep hoping to find these in store before ChristmasÂ

It feels like it would be a big mistep if isnt. That and the Cartoon Collection. Nothing beats in-store shoppers like Holiday shoppers, especially last minute desperate shoppers.🙂

@admin not yet. I haven't had much time to mess with him. My only complaint so far is he seems to have a defective leg. It doesn't sit right in the hip, but he stands alright so not too big a problem.

@brasco @admin there is an "embargo" until January. My guess is it has something to do with the recent TMNT movie.
