Yikes! Can't say that I'm a fan of anything that figure's got going on. He'd look a lot better if they'd have put some effort into hiding those joints a little bit. As it stands he kinda looks... He-Man-esque?

Wowzer. I was tempted from the previous pics circulating because I love Thundercats (even though I hate Mattel), but I'm glad I passed. That looks entirely too much like cheap plastic.

Yeah, that's the other thing - it just looks cheap as hell. This is a running thing with Mattel; they can't seem to make their products worth the price asked. Even their absurdly overpriced Voltron combiner was, like, 95% unpainted cheap looking plastic. Blech.
And don't get me started on their dumb phony subscription models that are made to take advantage of collectors. I feel genuinely bad for people who love IPs that Mattel has the exclusive rights to. Basically fuck Mattel. |

His disproportionally short legs make him look really squat. I noticed that before but i thought it might've just been the photo distorting things. Theres an old super friends episode when some of them get turned into stubby troll versions of themselves. Thats exactly what this reminds me of, unfortnately.
But, I am still holding out hope that it isn't as noticeable in person. |

What I don't get is, I think they told me I am not eligible for "Early Access" since I chose "one shipment" subscriptions which ships in Dec., so they're saying technically my subscription doesn't start until Dec. How does that make a bit of sense? If I have a subscriptions then I have a subscription, the end. So what mine all ship in Dec, I can't get early access to a Lion-O this month for a friend? That's ridiculous. |

They said the same thing when I wanted to order the T-Kittens. Then Matty changed their minds and opened up to T-Cat sub members. It will be ridiculous if they don't do the same thing here.

Also that anti-spam thing you have to do is ridiculous, it kept on giving me German street names, strangely enough I don't know off the top of my head how to get a double s thing that looks like a 'b' (as in Strasse).

So if I joined the sub with one bulk delivery, how do I know my figure came through? I haven't received any kind of email or notification.

From my understanding you won't know until after Dec 15th.

The exact same thing that happened to Primacron happened to me, I was on mattycollector at 11am (central) sharp and still wasn't able to nab one... As other people have suggested their site is rigged in some manner, oh well I guess, my money will just go elsewhere!

Honestly, I'd sooner give my money to a scalper than directly to Mattel at this point.

I wonder if anyone else will really give Thundercats an honest push after this mess with MattyCollector. I know Mezco mentioned the possibility of One:12 Collective Thundercats in the future, and I hope they give it an honest shot.

I agree with you Joe, Thundercats is such a fond part of my childhood that I would love to have a decent and full current reprentation of them in my collection but sadly at this point I believe that's only a pipe dream! =\

I contacted Matty and they said the order was declined and the sub cancelled. I was never informed, there was money on my prepaid card, it's Digital River issues all over again!

And of course it's Digital River's issues, it's still Digital River, there is no surprise there.

Another user on one of the Facebook pages I'm part of just posted this. I can't say I'm shocked given Mattel doesn't give a damn about customer loyalty, but it's utter bullshit to have the option and then say, "Oops, we forgot."
Quote:
Thank you for your patience while we looked into this issue. Unfortunately, we have no available inventory for the items included in your order. We apologize for this. As a result, we had to process a cancellation. The order being 'in process' implied that our warehouse was working to acquire the items in your order. Unfortunately, they were unable to do this. Please reply back to this email if you have any additional questions.
