King Hsss is great, except his shoulders are on backwards. I had to cut his shoulders off and switch them around and then swap the arms around.

Wow man. That sounds like a lot of work. I left mine as is. It's so hard to tell when he's on the shelf. I also have the snake torso on him with his human upper body just sitting below. I'd love to see some pics of your conversion.

I like that even several years into the MOTUC line people are still getting in to it. IDK how long it can last but they are one of the best action figs on the market.

I was huge into MOTU when I was a kid. I would have collected these from the jump but at the time they came out I was occupied with other things in life and missed tons of shit. I didn't want to pay crazy ebay prices to play catch up. Had it not been for my friend who copped doubles of each. I still wouldn't have any.

I hope they last long enough to put out some essential figures they're missing. Fuck these characters like Optik, Draego, Slush Head, etc.. Give me Ram Man, Mantenna, Ratlor, & Mekaneck, etc.. A new Greyskull & Snake Mountain would give me a serious boner lol

I am wondering why the hell we have yet to get a Ram Man.

The main reason seems to involve the cost of tooling. Because Ram Man would need almost entirely new parts and this line is pretty much a kit bash line, they can't kit bash him from previously created parts. The cost of creating entirely new parts for him would be a lot, and I imagine they would also want to keep a heavy hitter like Ram Man later on down the line to retain interest.

Just for this reason I hope Rammy is one of the last to come out. The only way a throwback line like MOTUC can survive is by keeping the big shrimp mixed well throughout the rice.

He'd need all new tooling plus Matty is holding him for ransom.

Optimus Vader · 05-15-2012, 09:07 AM

Easy Matty Day. Maybe buying an action figure that intentionally smells like crap isn't as high on people's lists as it was for me.

Yup. Easy sailing. Hope all you guys that are still needing him grabbed a Man-at-Arms. I actually picked up Spector.

It was up there for me too lol. Stinkor shall be mine. Had to snag a She-Ra too cuz I have no will power.. Actually I had some, I took Slush Head out last second.

Robogeek28 · 05-15-2012, 09:30 AM

Got my Stinkor and Man-At-Arms with no issues whatsoever.

Tiberius · 05-15-2012, 09:31 AM

Ordered Man-at-arms. Smooth transaction. Lets hope he gets here fast! my order was only 40$ so I shouldn't have to pay duties! YAY. Cannot wait to see everyones haul!

ludovicotek · 05-15-2012, 09:59 AM

Stinkor is already sold out!!!!

Tiberius · 05-15-2012, 01:01 PM

You should be. Killer figure. Duncan is The Man!

..At Arms.

DHeezy81 · 05-16-2012, 08:34 AM

Soooo.... My last Matty order took 2 weeks to process before it shipped(Not during a sale). But my order from yesterday's sale has shipped already lol. I don't get it.

Robogeek28 · 05-16-2012, 03:42 PM

And of course an order I placed last week will be arriving tomorrow which is the one day I won't be home. *sigh*

I really hope that a signature isn't required and that they can just leave it at my door. Also, my order from yesterday was shipped out today, let's see if it takes longer to arrive than the one I'll be receiving tomorrow,lol.

thechris · 05-16-2012, 08:32 PM

Man-At-Arms is easily one of the best figures in the line.

If you ever see the Eternian Palace Guards cheap, I highly recommend pouncing on that, too.

Tiberius · 05-16-2012, 08:41 PM

I would like a Beast Man though

ludovicotek · 05-18-2012, 02:55 PM

BIG NEWS!!!! Matty has just announced Mekaneck for the MOTUC line! He is due out in October.

Robogeek28 · 05-18-2012, 03:45 PM

Fantastic, I can't wait!!

miketime · 05-18-2012, 03:53 PM

Something bothers me about Mek's eyes. I feel that the inside triangle should be shinny like chrome. Other than that. Hell yeah! Been a long time coming.

DHeezy81 · 05-18-2012, 04:06 PM

Fug Yeah! Can hardly wait.

thechris · 05-18-2012, 06:08 PM

Wow, already excited but knew this would happen. I love how ToyGuru was trying to tell everyone that this PROBABLY would not happen.

Optimus Vader · 05-18-2012, 06:30 PM

Mekaneck looks great. I think he might challenge Fisto's sell out time.
