Movie Skeletor has such a look

I think those figures were worth Super7 carrying the line all on their own

Yeah, I do wish I'd bought the case before bbts sold out. I should have started selling off my TFs sooner, I'd have been able to finish this before some shot to the sky in price.

The movie might not be amazing or anything but that figure is aces.

I'm really looking forward to the updated Origins He-Man figure with the full power sword and vintage head; I've been using the vintage head that came with Battle Armor He-Man on my regular He-Man (as well as the feet with extra paint deco) but I'd rather display both figures with the vintage heads, so both that and the new sword are big selling points. It looks like he got updated as of wave 5; the new design is shown on the card back as well, and I hear he ships with the wave 5 mini-comic now.

All this is to say, I find it very odd that BBTS has not listed He-Man 2.0 for purchase as a separate figure. I wonder if Mattel just considers it a running change and kept the same SKU or whatever so that retailers have a hard time figuring out which version they're selling. I'm guessing I will just have to hunt that guy down in a store.

I supposedly have both the updated He-Man and Skeletor on order from Amz. I guess I will see when they arrive, the reivews seem 50/50 with people getting the new vs the old.

If anyone's stores out there have figures other than He-Man and Skeletor, I am looking for Man-E-Faces, Trap Jaw, Roboto, Zodak, Ninjor, Triklops, She-Ra and the OG Mer-Man. All the others I have on order from one place or another.

Ultramarines Primaris Captain in Gravis Armor. The basic Bandai Primaris Space Marines were a hundred dollars, and this thing is bigger and fancier and has diecast parts, so it's gonna be more than that.

I'm really glad the McFarlane WarHams figures turned out to have excellent sculpts because it's kept me from blowing hundreds of dollars on the Bandai ones.

Also, please make a Warhammer MG/RG Gunpla kit. Do it, you cowards!

Yes, but will they make it a limited edition piece, accidentally double-ship figures to a bunch of customers, then spend months begging them to return the extra figures so they can satisfy the whole set of pre-orders?

I mean they've released 3 other figures since that flub without any issues, so... Yes?

Awesome, the Skeletor that Amzaon sent me is the one with the improved head. Hopefully the He-Man is as well.

There's a NERF gun facebook group where people show off their arsenals collections. It is entirely adults in the group.

My nephews both have quite a few too. A few years ago when Hasbro was at Fanexpo Canada with their own booth (they do it all through TRU the last two years, which still exists up here) that's what one of them wanted to spend all his money on.

In my first venture in Classics customs, I just picked up a Mo-Larr for cheap and with this Barbaross kit (only some parts are needed) I'll be able to display both versions of Fisto.

I backed the Haslab Galactus, don't have much interest in Galactus in general but it's clear the figure's going to be worth an insane amount one day. Really hoping Silver Surfer gets unlocked since I could never find that figure in stores and got super pissed about not buying him separately.

I'm really looking forward to this one. Never ordered it online, because vehicles have been pretty easy to pick up at retail stores. Good to know it's starting to show up.

The Wind Raider was my favorite MOTU vehicle growing up. I had a garage sale one missing parts, like much of my early MOTU collection. At one point in the mid 90's my dad bought two still-boxed Wind Raiders at a flea market. I immediately opened one to play with, which pissed him off. He stored the other one rather badly and the box is kind of beat up, but I still have it boxed. At this point, that's probably worth a fortune even as-is, so basically my dad was right... especially since both the wings cracked on the one I opened, and it's no longer mint.
