Well they said they cannot afford to do anything until after they make sure they hit the minimum sales needed. They said they will have the specs and I think concept art at the show.

I couldn't have New Adventures of He Man back in 89 or so, but now that this version is coming, I SHALL HAVE THIS ONE! Looks great, and I actually dug the toon.

I think it's a joke and I don't trust Matty as far as I could throw them.
Correct me if I am wrong, but have they met ANY of their pre-sales when offering items such as this? How many lines were cancelled due to not enough orders? And how about just telling everyone-"Hey, we need 5,000 - 10,000 of these ordered to make it happen" This (IMO) shows why Mattel is and always will be second best to Hasbro |

I believe they have only really attempted 2 pre orders... one being the Hoverboard which they met the numbers and produced ... and the other was the Young Justice 2 pack which ... well ... really no one wanted that crap unless it was on second mark down at TJ MAX or ROSS ... Im not missing Grayskull and it look amazing ... plus the dimensions on it are crazy ... I'm pulling for a Snake Mountain 2014
That aside I completely understand your hesitation ... christ Mattycollector screwed me again this month with my CC info not being changed ...

Neat that they are doing a New Adventures He-man. Unfortunately, don't care for it and didn't care for the show when I was a kid.

The show sucks, but I did want that design for some strange reason.

250 plus shipping is a little too much me thinks. Even after the GF gave me the go ahead I'm still thinking about it. Maybe if I had not gotten suckered into the 30th anniversary line which has yielded 0 classic figures. Just because they create & force characters into the He-Man myths does not make them immediately nostalgic to me. I also grow tired of shipment delays making some months much more expensive than others with minimal notice on Mattel's part. The Voltron sub has also not met my expectations for detail and quality for there price point. That's enough bitching for now. I may not care when I finally have Ram Man in my hands.

I still would like to know what was responsible for the $50 hike. It does seem like they planned out a lot more features in the span of time between Power-Con and NYCC. I think that Wind Raider attachment is pretty neat.

Went to NYCC today super crowded. I got to meet the brand manager Scott N very pleasant guy to talk to. Got to see the new 2013 figures in person Clamp Champ and NA He-Man were in the booth pretty cool.
Picked up Demo Man and a Power and Honor foundation book. Which of the $260 that I spent today that book was by far the coolest item I bought.

Hell yeah!
.. and I like MegsTriggerMan's Snake Mountain plan. Pencil me in for that as well, Matty.

Very tempting, but $250 seems steep. Plus shipping to Canada. Ouch.

It is very tempting but it is also very difficult to purchase sight-unseen.
I'm looking at my voltron lions and it looked so much better in the pictures and in my hands........ not as great. So spending even more money on Cast Grayskull which could turn out to be lousy.... i don't know. Not to mention it;s going to take up a lot of space.

I have no need, nor want, a playset. I am an ADULT collector. I'm not going to be sitting at my desk, recreating tv episodes with my toys. All I want is a decently detailed diorama/backdrop of the jaw bridge and castle front, to display He-Man and Battlecat. That's it. $45, $50 at most.
For the same $250, I'm getting Masterpiece Soundwave w/ Laserbeak and Sideswipe (Lambor). |

The castle is interesting, but not 250 interesting. Makes me want to dig through boxes and just find the classic one I found at a flea market for 5 bucks.
