Well then so am I...the Conan aspect is what made He-Man different than all other kid stuff back then...

Oh, sorry...forgot about FB...yeah, it worked great...loaded very quickly...it took a bit to get used to compared to the comix app, though resolution was just as beautiful...
you know, there are scans already out there to be had, if you know where to look. So I've heard, not that I'd know about such things...
Hmm, I too have heard that scans of items like this are floating out in the web. I didn't find any as high of resolution as what I made and I put them in a video program so the kids can watch comic-video's on tv. I posted them so Mr. Eddie here could see them on his iPad as he doesn't have a full blown computer.
say eddie, interested in a notebook with a core i7 processor and a full version of Windows 7 that's seen little use? Only a year and a half old! $550!

Haha...no idea if that's good or bad...and I think I could get Teela, Fistme, Whiplash and Stinkor for that price

good answer! Hell you could get a real fist me for less than that! and some of this
and even put it here
:yawn:
for that much
That's acceptable to me for two...I'd prefer more like $40-$50...but $60 is lower than I was expecting so it's cool I guess...
I kinda only want one...

Clamp Champ and Rock Men are all I want this summer.
Just got a hold of TOD Sorceress and King Greyskull (red cape) from Ebay.
Any intel on what to expect at SDCC?
I read a rumor about Horde Troopers, but who knows.

Cool, DH!
So I bought the Batman figure with the MOTUC body at Target.
He fits in with the MOTUC figures, but I want a new headsculpt. Any suggestions?
Also, Mattel is evidently going to tell us the names of SOME of the figures scheduled for 2014.
Why can't the stupid bastards at Mattel tell us the names of ALL of the figures to confirm whether or not their subscription service is worth it?
I am even willing to subscribe to the assholes' program if 75% of my list is met, thereby leaving 25% open to the sordid "Cy-Chop" and "Spector" types of figures to be reluctantly purchased anyway.

EDIT:
Check this out from Mattel:
"If you’re wondering why we don’t wait to open the subs until after the fan panel and leave the subscriptions open past August, it’s because we need final numbers by 8/19 to set production quotas and hit a January 2014 release date.)"
Translation:
"If you're wondering why we don't lie often enough about why we obfuscate, distort and otherwise deceive based on our 'production dates and times,' here is another lie. We can't tell you what we are going to release until we have your money. Then, we can produce whatever the hell we want, and you have to take it since you already committed your money to us. The concept of you unwashed fools knowing what you will get BEFORE YOU PAY is simply not allowed. Thank you. - Mattel Staff"

To be fair, this isn't exactly new. It's been that way since '08.... and yet, they're still getting away with it.
Yep, and it's just more reprehensible behavior from Mattel.
They clearly have no shame, and I suspect the 2014 line will be painful to witness (in terms of subscription numbers, released figures, quality of figures, DOS numbers, and so forth).
Mattel's staff is doing a fantastic job in terms of horrible customer relations and general chicanery.
On a brighter note, I found some cool custom figures at Fwoosh that were worth sharing:

Just for once, I'd like to see how it would go down if Mattel did reveal all the figures before the deadline, and tell us the accurate numbers.
I reckon they know it would boost the line, but they can't because if they do, it will be an admission of how utterly fucking retarded and self destructive the current format is.

It tells me that every single year, they think it's the last year. They think the offering/lineup isn't strong enough to garner enough support if they just lay it out there, so they leave a lot of mystery to it so everyone can imagine that the unrevealed figures are the ones they personally have been waiting for. Then the next year, they do it again.
Yep.
The best thing I can think of is to simply withhold support for the subscription service until I find out what is coming.
I know that DOS items are going to be hard to get, but I am willing to wait a little while and get a figure or two on Ebay if necessary.
Recently got TOD Sorceress and Red Cape King Grayskull for about 65 dollars together on Ebay.
Am also willing to do pre-orders through some of the Ebay sellers for hot figures like Ram Man and Snake Face. Paid about 10-15% more for these, but I ordered/paid for them via Paypal BEFORE the DOS/Subscription release dates.
I know it's a little more, but I simply won't allow myself to be forced by the assholes at Mattel (looking at you Scott Nietlich) into buying figures I really don't want (Foe Men 3 pack, Cy-Chop, Karatti, Spector, Star Sisters, Ponytail He-Man, etc). Dawg O'Tor is the one Foe Man I actually like, but that blue weirdo can go to hell for all I care.
It's just not going to happen, no matter how nasty and threatening the people at Mattel act about it.

Yeah, I want so few of the characters they make now, I'm willing to go through ebay or BBTS, pay extra, and even be prepared to do without if necessary, but I'm not going to sign up for an overpriced mystery that I'm more than likely to dislike.
To be revealed at sdcc along with the production model of castle grayskull

Same here...cept that BBTS part
Hater! I've bought a lot of MOTUC figures from them for less than I could buy them from matty because of the crazy tax and shipping digital river adds on. You can't call that scalping when they charge less total than the f#$%& manufacturer!
No, matty charges crazy prices, and BBTS charges me less than the manufacturer. If BBTS is literally the cheapest place I could possibly buy figure X, how does that make them bad?
Methinks eddie needs another lesson in capitalism!

It means that if you're *willing* to bend over for them, then it's perfectly legit.
I know there is a Kobe joke in there somewhere...

Ok enough. I just read that Scott Neitlich is writing out Castle Grayskull in his future bios.
That's right. Scott Neitlich is axing CG.
My contempt for this pissworm of a man has reached a whole new level.

What do you mean, he's writing it out? He's conveniently ignoring it, or he's contradicting what came before, i.e. writing that the Sorceress is living in a studio apartment above the dairy queen?
No, it's just being downscaled to the size of the little hut He-Man lives in the first mini comic, looks more like something from the smurf village.
To be fair, I ignore all the crap that guys says or writes. He can't change cannon. George Lucas himself couldn't change what he created no matter how hard he tried (we all know Han shot first), and this little asshat isn't going to start revising MOTU lore. I just don't care about what happens millennia before Adam, Duncan, & Teela, and I certainly don't care about Scott's fan-fiction about what happens to them in the future. Fan-fic is all it is. It would be a mistake (and somewhat maddening) to assign it any more gravitas than that.
