That's not mine...I just stole that image from google...I just thought is was crazy how big the package was by comparison
Battle Cat is one sexy beast...how does Pantor compare?...does he lose some of the sculpt detail due to the flocking?...I really really like his horn helmet...been considering getting him...
I did get my Ram-Me-Man today...he's so freaking cool...though I still think Man-At-Arms is my fave...
I agree we jipped a bit on Ram Man. If they could get Draego Man in a regular package, then Ram Man could have as well.
I just made all the floorboards, the trap door and the flagpole for my Castle Of Power. Started on a metal havoc staff for my 12" Skelly as well!

I really have no desire to own a CG, but I really think it would be super easy to make a HUGE one outta the foam board...I'm half tempted to do it...but I'm lazy
The face would be the toughest part, at least the front facade and any curved surfaces unless you went BIG and got the thick board to carve up with something like a Dremel.
Still, yeah, probably so.

Nah, should arrive any day now. I'm just doint the parts that I can gauge measurements on. Just been resizing/ updating/ tweaking the original CG sticker set so I can print it out on cloth. Flag, banners and trap door carpet done!
I was thinking the same thing...maybe layering the board or getting that foam spray that hardens and carving/sanding it to shape...messy but easy...use some oatmeal cylinders as a base to adhear the foam board to...man, I wish I wasn't a slacker!
Cause I could make it BIGGER!!!
And again, I really don't care to own one at all, but the challenge of doing it almost sounds fun, almost

Ordered a TriKlops today...that was a tough pill to swallow...almost got a loose Beastman too, but his nose was scuffed...the hunt continues...sigh...
Got Faker in the mail today...he was always one of my faves as a kid...I have a specific funny/dumb memory of him...
I grew up on a dirt road...graders would go down the road to resurface it and they would make these long skinny mounds the whole length in the center every other pass...well one day when the grader was resurfacing the road, we put Faker (not mine) on top of the mound to see what happened...nothing much, he just got buried...for some reason that stupid story sticks with me...

I wanna get another Faker for a battle damaged custom.
EDIT : You know Faker makes me laugh when I think about him. He's such a shit cheap idea and by far the least value for money out of the whole line, but I always loved him and so does everyone I know. The classics version could at least have come with all his weapons and a battle damaged head. Cheap fucks.

I loved the character, while even as a kid, he made no damn sense. He was supposed to be an imposter, but who in the world would mistake the guy with blue skin and day-glow Skeletor armor for He-Man?! I didn't believe any of the other Master's was that stupid. My inner 8-year-old thought that was pretty far-fetched, yet somehow, I owned and enjoyed the figure anyway.
I never used him as an impersonator...just too stupid...he was just his own character to me...

You're the king of robotchicken he-man videos!
But yeah, I figured the whole crowd of good guys would never be lois-lane-stupid, so Faker was a seriously flawed concept. Still, I liked the sticker on his chest that showed the robot parts

I liked that they tampoed that robo bit on this time instead of a peely decal...and the wash they put on his armor thing is a very nice touch...such a simple figure but oh so cool...
They didn't paint the shoulder?! Ok, I'm not that surprised. These things are plagued with QC problems. I fear that when my kids open these one day, half of them are going to have broken limbs or some such horrid defects and there will be jack I can do about it.
Fortunately I have a paint already that matches perfectly...I actually had two different brands that matched in both acrylic and enamel...first time that's ever happened...
Notice anything wrong?
Did you actually get a Whiplash Akunin?
I've seen that a couple times with various figures... but that one really stands out! Sorry to see that Eddie! Kinda hurts when you spend this kind of money and not get 100%. Can't wait to see the finished product! So keep us posted!
Kayfabe on OG is going to try to pick the one up near him for me... hope it goes through! Then its just Man-e you have there, Procrustus and Granamyr! I know I keep saying it but then I'll finally have all the ones that interest me that are out! Will be nice to just concentrate on the new releases. Of course this by no means is saying I have every figure! Just the ones that interest me. For example I don't care for Adam/Orko, Randor/Marlena or the whole royal family thing really. I might just have to post my own checklist somewhere.
I do love seeing other collections swell and yours is getting big! (free Eddieism there for ya)

I was planning on ignoring it when I first noticed it, but like you said, it's so obvious...and yeah, it sucks considering the cost of these things, but he only ran me $10 more than Mattys price and that included shipping...so all in all, not too big a deal...
I too don't care about the king/queen, but I DO care about Adam and Orko...I think they were the fourth/fifth figs I picked up...
As for Whiplash, him and Clawful were figs I used to have and liked, but didnt feel the desire to pick up, so I never looked into them...but after you said you wanted WL, I started checking him out...good gawd!...never knew he was one of the costlier ones...worse than Beastman...
Me, I finally caved and got TriKlops and BM...more than I wanted to spend on these figs, but they were the last two I wanted beside Teela (and I refuse to spend that much) so I just bit the bullet and bought them...$70/$85...*shrugs*...unless Teela (or Sorceress) gets reasonable, I'm done I think...none of the others are that important to me...half I don't care that much about, and the other half I don't even know...

Looking forward to the paint job, you gotta post pics! I don't mind the figures of Adam and Orko, by beef is mostly just I had a few of the early mini comics and didn't see but one or two episodes of the show so Adam doesn't really make much sense to me. The rest of the characters I somehow can get into (for the most part) like Gygor and Count Marzo but Adam just escapes me. I'll probably pick him up at some point I suppose... maybe its the "tights".
As for Whiplash, I never had him and after I saw that he comes with a second head.. that look cool as hell! So caulk him up for a must have! You should just get Battleground Teela! Since she is the original...
well, comic style wise any how. I've got a feeling her horse Charger will be introduced soon it just appeared (again) in the new line of comics! So BG Teela might be one to look out for if that horse does turn up. As for the Sorceress I did see her in an older mini comic and they released her all in white to reflect that issue. Temple of Darkness! Of course again that was the first I'd ever seen her so that is the one I relate to myself. No matter what, I am sooo pumped for the Castle to come out! Its going to be an expensive year.. Castle Greyskull, PS4. Damn, too many toys!
Count Marzo is an absolute badass. He's like the opposite of He-Man - he's a little troll guy that changes into a beefcake with the power of his own amulet- like Adam does with the power sword. They absolutely had to make a figure of him. He was in the Filmation and was massive in the 200X cartoons, and an essential part of canon in the great wars. His figure is awesome too, though I admit his head is a bit big. If you guys don't know him, you have to watch the 200X toons.
damn you! I keep hoping (and fearing) that the Horde troopers will come out. Fearing if I'll have enough sense not to troop build them. I suppose 6 will do...
But really, looks like Snakeface is all I'm looking at for the most part this year. I admit after watching the horrible youtube vids of the classic toon I'm getting kinda pumped for the Filmation figures.

I just bought 4 figs for $100 shipped Catra, BG Teela, Faceless one and Zodac. Zodac and FO are for my friend, and I'll likely sell Teela as I already have her. I only wanted Catra really.
