I was primarily pushed to backtrack for this Sue because I've been playing as her a lot in Marvel Rivals but as a figure on its own it is overall well made. Her arms are too short but it's pretty easy to get her in a pose that obscures this. I appreciate the invisible limb options but for the long run I'm definitely going with the normal limbs.

I was very surprised to find Leatherface already given that he only went up for pre-order two weeks ago. I was content just having NECA's previous Leatherface for his primary look but still planned on picking this one up too, kind of as a spare. In hand though the almost full decade between the figures is apparent and this new release is quite an upgrade. He's larger, sturdier, and handles better. His new heads are particularly impressive with the masks looking like separate pieces from the rest of the head (they probably actually are for assembly and not meant to be removed now). I was already thrilled to be getting the new pretty woman version and this figure only increases the anticipation.

Finally there's Skeletor. This is actually my first MOTU figure ever, I've always gotten my swords and sorcery fix elsewhere. I'm more familiar with this franchise because of Robot Chicken than anything else but having said that I've always liked the idea of Skeletor's vibe even if I've often found the execution lacking. I was checking out what new GI Joe figures Walmart had just stocked and this guy on the peg immediately to the Joe's left caught my eye. The bearded axe and horned helmet grant him a strong Frazetta's Death Dealer energy and for once (that I've been paying attention) his skull face actually looks menacing and not like a dime-store Halloween mask. The swap-out chest plates are neat, I favor the damaged version myself. There's some disappointment with how soft the plastic is, to clarify he's sturdy as far as joints go but the ties holding him in the bubble left a mark on his right arm. I think he maybe should've still included his staff but either way I'm quite pleased with this impulse pick-up.

On a side note...Hopefully I'm wrong but I expect our hobby to get a LOT more expensive soon
