Luckily, I am in one of those territories (Germany), so I remain hopeful 😉 But I suppose we'll know soon enough... So far the site still complains about me being in the wrong country (I do not disagr...

Well, Rokkon counter ticking down, again! At the moment it is still listed as "this product cannot be shipped to your country". Let's hope they have figured out the reason and have a fix ready to go.

Over here there are still a bunch of figures available via various online stores, including Amazon. Actually, I haven't been to a brick and mortar toy store in a good while. Just too far out of my way...

That I could live with... but the entire rollout of the remainig "Vintage" Origins line is going to be such a pain (one at a time, online, duringvery specific pre-order windows, international shipping...

Well, not sure that this is really a shipping issue and not rather something related to them not being abble to recieve incoming international payments and/or a bug related to calculating final price...

If that turns out to be true I would be very, very, very pissed. He is one of my favorite characters from the line. And main line characters are, imho , an absolute no-go for such a limited release.

Well, that's a bummer, was looking forward to getting my pre-order in. Now I have to do it at work next week... people will surely understand, I just have to explain to them that I need that little ro...

(should probably go into the Action Figures sub forum). Anyway, yes, I think that is a real possibility. Will they do it soon? Hm, not sure. But the "Revelations" Scare Glow is so unredeemably terrib...

I am hopeful that the line still has some life in it. But I am not sure that the direct-to-consumer model is necessarily the way to go. On the plus side, Mattel has control over every step of that pro...

I mean, the discussion of MINT versus loose collecting is as old as the mountains, I suppose. I do prefer unboxing stuff for sure, bit even I keep the occasional carded figure in the collection. But i...

Aww man that sucks, sorry to hear.... as you said, I somehow don't expect Mattel to really do much about it tho either. Unless of course this is an issue with each and every Eternia and some kind of i...

Well, let's hope this is not a common issue... because if it is, Mattel really needs to come up with some kind of apology + partial refund or whatever (well, in this one case they also should figure o...

Glad to see at least two items on that list I absolutely need to have in my collection (Rio-Blast, Bashasaurus). Slimepit He-man...yea, I guess. Unless they make it a stand-alone release - the shippin...

Congrats on the Eternia delivery you guys, I expect many a picture! I will admit, I have had a bit of not-buyers remorse over the past year. It is such an iconic piece... but in the end, it's just to...

At this point I just have to think of this But man, that guy is bitter... that's really not a good way to live.

@smitty-81 Agreed on Mattel having missend an opportunity with the Horde, and possibly Snakemen (not a huge fan of some of the Heroic Warrior variants tho). Or let's say their focus wasn't necessarily...

When Origins started, I was really hoping that we would be getting a chance to get re-worked versions of the stuff many collectors never could get their hands on from the vintage line. I mean, they ar...

Absolutely. I was really hoping for a Dragon Walker, Rio Blast and some other stuff from the vintage line I never owned previously... but I guess that ship has sailed.

I really hope we can pre-order those previewed figures all at once... Shipping to the EU is stupidly expensive, would be nice to have to pay it only once.

On that note, have we heard anything from Mattel regarding those missing figures from the original vintage line-up? I remember an interview, probably Pixel Dan, in which the MOTU brand manager confirm...

Indeed. Recieved Man-at-arms yesterday. It looks alright when lined up with the older releases. The depth of the box is the same (or almost), so it works out in t hat respect. The artwork also fits, b...

So I got my first toon collection figure, the man himself. Well... I think these look fine. The cardback is nice - I might even like it better than the original. The figure itself looks fairly simila...

@ravewayneboo I'm not sure how many people actually play with these, like, at all 😉 But I think it isn't surprising if this happens occasionally, considering how comparatively small that peg is - wou...

Well, I have not yet decided if I am getting the MOTU Turtles, but going by past experience with Mattels distribution for Origins, I am a little concerned. Meaning, I see a very high possibility for a...

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation Christmas with the Kranks (yes, terrible reviews, but something about the cast just works for me) I also fondly remember "Santa Claus: The movie" - with Dudley Mo...
