Mattel has to be making less of these. He-Man and Beastman lasted forever compared to Skeletor and Stratos. I think it's BS. For those of us who can't afford them RIGHT when they come out, it's a huge disappointment.

I don't think Mattel is making less. I think He-Man & Beast-Man lasted longer because it took awhile for sellers on ebay to realize that they were in high demand. As soon as they hit ebay, right before Skeletor came out, their prices had doubled. Skeletor being very popular and ebay sellers cashing in, made him disappear fast. Stratos didn't stand a chance with high demand, ebay sellers and the exposure from the NYCC. Mer-Man will probably sell out the first day!

I thought that I read somewhere that Mattel was planning on releasing these all again sometime down the road. They said that they would put something on the packaging like "version 2" or "second release" to distinguish the first ones from these new ones.

That sucks dude.
Well, I suppose you could always open it and keep it or sell it on ebay. I'm sure it would still fetch a decent price even loose. EDIT: Or, of course return it to Matty and try to get another one, though I think you'll have better luck with ebay.

I expected this because everything else I've ordered arrived damaged!

I'm sure if I returned it, I'd receive a more damaged one!

They really need to be something about this, especially for all the money we dish out for these figures. $10 for shipping for one of these figures should include some sort of guarantee that it's going to arrive in good shape.

The figures are wrapped in a very thin piece of foam paper, and are then mashed into a small packing box. Imagine 4 figures in this small box! Here's pictures of my packing supplies.

Faker goes on sale this Monday March 16TH. I wonder if most of these sold at the NYCC and will be in short supply?

Just as I thought!
Faker has a limit of 4 per order, instead of 10 per order like all the other figures.

My 2 Fakers arrived!
As normal, 1 was mint and 1 was smashed to hell! I read that MattyCollector will soon start packing these figures in protective outer shipper boxes!

I think it's crap that they're asking 30 shipped per figure and most of them arrive damaged. Totally not fair or worth it in my opinion.
On the flip side of the coin however, I do like that Hordak. |

Currently, the only reason I don't get upset about receiving damaged figures is because I know I can sell them on ebay and make my money back. Hordak is on hit.

This is from MattyCollector: We are looking into creating an outer shipper box much like we do for the DCUC figures and the JLU MattyCollector figures. We’ll have more news soon when we can start including this shipper box! We are very committed to doing everything we can to making sure figures are as mint as possible!
