Definitely!!! Plus you can swap out the classic head with the Filmation head!

There is a Snake Man-At-Arms coming out later this year. I know it's not the same, but just thought I'd give you a heads-up.

Battle Cat is back in stock over at Matty. I'm anticipating that tomorrow is going to be hell over there.

Yep, only problem is he's already been reissued with the "the Original!" sticker which usually makes it unlikely that he'll be released again any time soon. :/ Teela on the other hand has never been reissued, yet, so... I bought Man-At-Arms but he cost me an arm. LOL. Needed a leader for my Eternian Palace Guards, though.

Teela was just made available for their Mad Matty March sale. She sold out in minutes.

Yeah so I imagine when they finally get around to releasing her again with the "the Original!" sticker, it'll be a bit of the same. :|

Matty and The Toy Guru talk shit. Whether he's called a reissue or not, is really just a Matty.com game. MAA has been up for sale a handful of times, most recently for $10 during Cyber Monday week. I could be wrong, but if I was betting I'd lay a lot on him being up for sale at some point during 2012.

thechris · 03-14-2012, 01:04 PM

Yeah, I'm not going to hesitate next time I get a chance to buy stuff, that's for sure. I had every item in my Shopping Cart during Cyber Monday and I decided to wait an hour or two to mull over it and half the shit was sold by the time I got around to it. I had the money. Don't know why I got all wishy washy all of a sudden.

Optimus Vader · 03-14-2012, 05:43 PM

Yeah, I know the feeling. Matty's treasures make us all do some whacky things. During that same week I removed stuff from my cart at checkout because I was going over-board buying things and then a day later went back and bought the stuff I removed.. and paid for shipping twice. Genius move on my part.

How is the Man-E-Faces figure? Just finished He-Man 200x and he was my favorite.

thechris · 03-14-2012, 07:48 PM

It's pretty good, it comes with an extra drum with He-man, Orko and Skeletor's faces. What kind of annoys me about it is the helmet is a bit loose and when you spin the faces, it sometimes comes off. Otherwise, it's a pretty cool figure.

Tiberius · 03-14-2012, 07:49 PM

I will try and get one for under 40 :P.

thechris · 03-14-2012, 07:55 PM

I'll tell you who really rocks. Snout Spout. Just don't bend his trunk or bad things happen.

cobracobra · 03-14-2012, 07:56 PM

what kind of bad things...? I am looking into buying a lot off of Ebay soonish. I didn't do the subscriptions and I look back and know I should have.

It snaps off.

Actually have my eye on that one. Seriously considering it.

Damn! Snaps off? I heard about the tears in the foam, but completely snapping off? That sucks.

Honestly, I couldn't have cared less about Snout Spout. I bought him real cheap on eBay and ended up loving the goofy bastard. Don't know why. He's so ridiculous looking but for some reason he just works as an action figure for me.

Yep. It breaks off completely. It depends on how dry it gets when you leave it in a pose other than the default straight pose. I love the figure. I had him as a hand me down when I was a child. Thought he was great. Unfortunately, I filled his water tank with sand and he stopped working. LOL. I was so awful with my toys as a kid.

Shin Densetsu · 03-14-2012, 10:37 PM

Keldor is one of the best MOTUC figures I have so far. EXCELLENT sculpt. Looks like Vlad the Impaler and the blue used to mold him is great. Demo-Man is awesome too. Excellent paint apps all around. Also realized recently that the hood his alternate Skeletor head has, is different from the regular Skeletor's, and the skull is a different sculpt altogether!

Yeah, it's the head from the comic series art by Alfredo Alcala. The skull helmet thing was just background art from the original concept sketches. Demo Man is actually what Skeletor was supposed to look like and that skull thing was just laying on the ground. They decided to make it an accessory. Vikor is also the original drawing of He-man from the concept sketches.

ludovicotek · 03-15-2012, 06:56 AM

She-Ra and Teela are back in stock over at Matty right now. DO NOT WAIT FOR THE SALE TO BEGIN TODAY. If you need Teela, ORDER HER NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thechris · 03-15-2012, 07:00 AM

She-Ra, yes. Teela on the other hand was sold out yet again (it just doesn't reflect it yet as it does this sometimes) but you can't add her to the basket.

MegaPrime33 · 03-15-2012, 07:13 AM

It's a great line for sure, and I popped my cherry on it with Hordak, but for some reason I just can't seem to bring myself to get anymore. However I will say that I'm extremely tempted with Battle Cat and Keldor. Though if I get Battle Cat, I'll have to get He-Man. And if I get He-Man and BCat, I'll have to get Skeletor and Panthor. It's a viscous circle.

If you could only get one, you made a great choice in Hordak, that's for sure.

Crazy how quick she sells out. They need to give her a proper re-release and not just randomly make her available. There's obviously huge demand for that figure.
