    Lol you should read the mini comic featuring him and the dragon. It's like an out of control puppy.

    The Classic Figure is as you say “a thing of beauty.”

    The WWE MOTU Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat had that dragon as an accessory, so I wouldn't be too surprised if this version of Skeletor were released at some point in the future.

    If they do make an Origins Dragon Blaster Skeletor, and I hope they do, I'm 100,000 % certain they'll make a new dragon that sprays water.

    They knew what they were doing by toning down the smell. I'm surprised at all. They knew collectors weren't going to buy these things if they made the room smell like vomit and kids might not want additional toys if this one made them puke.

    Stopped by my local Wally tonight. They have 2 pegs of the wave 1 Skeletor, some on another peg with He-Man, and some on the top shelf. On their pallets tonight.....3 more boxes of Skeletor. I opened to make sure but they were all the wave 1 version.

    T Force or Fuerza-T is a line form Argentina that took a mix and match approach with vintage MOTU molds. It's often described as a knock off line but the line was legal.

    Managed to order the Battlefied Warriors 2-pack around 3:39 AM!

    Each “Great news!” email indicates each time I turned the “Notify me when it’s in stock” push notification button back on in the Target app/attempted to order one. Like hitting the snooze button repeatedly, lol. :p :confused: 

    These things will eventually be in stock up the wazoo like the Keldor/Kronos 2-pack online (and in store?) but the only Target near me is two hours away so this is my win! :)

    I thought it was only the new 2000x-ish Evil-Lyn that had the new knees. I just got the yellow one that has the new knees...

    Possibly. Mattel's design team have two panels scheduled. Here's the description of one of them called Masters of the Collector Universe:

    So there could be some reveals.

    This sounds about right for WalMart.

    I was in the target app looking at that item when the notification popped up and I could add it to cart, in the time it took me to go to my cart they had all sold out. Im not crying about it because I know I'll get them eventually but I hate bots lol.

    It's also a bummer it doesn't seem like they have like a "limit 1 or 2 per order" on the Battlefied set. :confused:
