I hadn't checked

 

Just saw this, thanks but I’m covered on those two now! Appreciate the offer though.

Wondering if those beastie eggs are still coming out.

 

Mega sent a reviewer some but I doubt the hit retail.

 

There is no way I'd want a block built dragon or beast from any manufacturer over what Mega has provided in Beast Eggs or Dragons Universe years ago. Seeing that style is ....slightly irritating.

 

It looks cool, but yeah too blocky to take seriously these days. Now if it was a Robo dragon ..

 

You can't for get the WOW animals either

 

I'm just going to leave this right here. They were posted on the Mega Construx News Facebook page. Kevin is one of the Heroes designers:



Super excited for these. Especially the Scareglow.

 

Why is it when I make a custom MOTU character because I don't think they'll possibly make that character, they wind up making it? First, I made Teela because I just knew they wouldn't bother making a female figure that couldn't be reused. I finished it and they made her. I made a Scareglow because, seriously, why would they make Scareglow before all the other more popular characters and... now they're making him.

 

Sweet, I’ll take both! That is, if I can ever find them or someone can help me out again.

 

I'm really happy to see these official WIP's. I'd come to the point that i thought i'd have to go back in time and start sculpting and custom casting again to get what i want from this line. I may still have to but this is promising. Initially i was surprised to see these 2 before others but , and i think i said this in the past in this thread, they are both low hanging fruit i.e. minimal tooling investment. Merman would have required minimal tooling investment as well. Hm.

If Scarglow utilizes the glow in the dark plastic Mega used on the HALO glow in the dark Spartan set i'll buy one figure. Max 2 for the cape. If the figure is not GITD plastic and is predominantly white or black with paint apps which can be removed with nail polish remover i'm buying more than that. This line is the closest we are going to get to Mattel releasing multiple solid colour body packs so i'm all in.

Surprisingly ...Stratos, a character i've never really loved the design of, looks like great custom fodder.

 

Nice on the Scareglow and Stratos. Would love multiple skull heads for customs. Hell Ghost Rider would be an easy one

 

Scareglow and Anti-Eternia He-man were rumored to be next. Glad to see Stratos! Just need Merman and Zodac for the original 8 now.

 

I'd take anti eternia he man if I was forced to choose between it and stratos.

 

Was having fun with some of my extra Mighty Minis. Behold- Batman and Mr. Freeze! Freeze was by far the hardest to articulate because I wanted to retain the translucent blue the figure had. Luckily I had a few Leonardo clear blue figure and one Blue Halo Gummy to work with. Very tricky on such a small figure!

 

^ Mr. Freeze works well as an alien figure.

MOTU definitely needs its own line.

I'm not sure which of the other properties appeals to me beyond what has already been offered. Futurama? Sure. It's a very stylized design that i feel is unique from the rest of the Hero offerings. Assassin's Creed.... Who exactly would they offer in the future that's not a previously released figure? Perhaps another run of Adewale figures not plagued by translucent brown plastic. Aliens? The marines are cool along with the Xenomorphs but how many people really want a 2'' Ripley worldwide? Would she be another Picard on the pegs? I'd buy Star Trek red shirts. St: TNG would be welcome. What character in the Hellboy universe beyond the title character is a must have?

I'm sure the current IP's need to be maximized but....how many characters from each would really make good micro action figures? we need different IP's. Robocop. Ghostbusters. I'm not a fan of either but they seem like the type of IP's that would appeal to action figure collectors.

I'd punch someone for Space Ghost lol.

 

I understand your frustration. And you bring up great suggestions for more figures in the Heroes Line.

At the same time, I can understand why Mattel is doing it this way. He-Man is one of their hottest properties (if not the hottest). The He-Man Classics and Filmation figures sell extremely well and a majority of the feedback from the fans on their Mega Construx Facebook page and message boards pertains to He-Man.

Edit: He-Man also has a gigantic character pool to draw from. Your suggestion for Mattel/MCX to make He-Man its own line may definitely be what's needed.

 

I think Mattel is the license holder for Thundercats. If they don't give the Heroes line some Thundercats love, it'll be a huge missed opportunity.

Edit: Yep. Mattel has the toy rights for Thundercats. Purchased in 2015:
