Yeah, there were only 400 backers at the time, and it supposedly jumped an insane amount for (God save us) Lady Slither, but Mattel aren't funding all of that. I still think the numbers are dodgy as f...

Travis Knight knows what he is doing. The tone will be perfect. This movie will be perfect.

God.... I HATE Kristen Wig. She's not funny at all and her voice is incredibly grating. Even if they don't gender swap Roboto (which would be a massive disservice to the character and the relationship...

You don't come off very well here.

That anything that even sniffs of DEI gets immediately called out now because Hollywood handled all that like a wrecking ball previously. In this movie's case you've got dodgy AF Jared Leto as Skelet...

TRUST IN TRAVIS KNIGHT!

Whatever you think of it this movie needs another red flag about as much as China does... the mere perception of 'woke' is screen poison now, pretending otherwise is foolish.

Things you absolutely shouldn't do in 2025 when bringing a franchise back... 'But it's only a robot!'. Then if it isn't important at all why piss off fans? He's also a character who develops, robot o...

They put too much into it, with that Snake Lair, paint apps and features etc. I guess they felt, if we’re gonna crowdfund, we gotta go big! Just like that other company. Perhaps it’s not worth it for ...

@banthafett I have one ordered with a UK seller too and it's listed for 21st of August so we'll see how that plays out too!

My take... Realistically they took a retail set and added cheap for them features and paint apps then charged a few hundred more. And that was after they literally went big with the predecessor. Peopl...

@cosmic Honestly they're getting worse! Lol. @Durendal I'm no conspiracy theorist but the insane backing of both the Lair and Snowcat out of nowhere after so many questioning their ability to actually...

@cosmic I'm not impressed - it just tells me that you guys will buy absolutely anything MOTU. Origins will just putter along like a zombie for decades.

This is it, from the most half-assed poll anyone's ever seen to a massive, fully functional prototype in no time at all. Then one of the voting options goes to retail. Oh, and even the Mattel staff vo...

Imagine having a livestream to hype a crowdfund (it went up the whole 1 percent it's been going up every day now anyway) and telling backers it wasn't what the people making it wanted! Fake whoever sh...

Got my fright zone a few days ago and unboxed it today. The box art and set itself seemed to invoke a similar reaction in my boys (8 and 10) as the original one did for me. Overall a fun set and nost...

So you get a holographic poster, strong packaging and no news on a payment plan as many in the chat asked for. Calling the Lair a 'limited edition' and muttering about paint and how it has four levels...

My god get rid of that daft host! And they're still keeping Slither as an early bird instead of just throwing her in. Steve might be even faker than, well, Faker.

I 100% agree with this. These companies (not just toy companies, but everyone) have been using the tariff excuse to line their pockets. In the past, companies would absorb the cost of fluctuating tari...

In short the whole project has been fishy from day one. Longer explanation follows... Mattel did a crowdfund poll where you could vote as many times as you wanted if you knew how. The poll had loads o...

I am happy for those who wanted good MYP figures... Mattel delivered and then some. This gives me a lot of hope for the oft dismissed New Adventures / Jetlag series. It's no secret that I am not keen ...

I agree with you guys. And the thing is too, even if you LIKED 200x and wanted to jump on board, they've already proven TWICE that they don't care to finish anything before moving on with the next res...

Well they lost me as a former completist. 200X is a total waste of time. Just another excuse to put out the SAME FUCKING CHARACTERS YET AGAIN, with slightly different styling. Oh well, I'll spend the ...

@sketchyskeletor They're not going to. Not again. It's already pretty unprecedented for them to do a poll (even if it was rigged, which I now think it was), declare a winner, reveal the prototype, t...

Personally I wouldn't even bet on it hitting the minimum because practically every YouTube video comment either criticises the price or doesn't talk about the Lair AT ALL and demands the finishing of ...
