    I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting them to be quite as good as they are in hand, making me regret not being quicker on the draw and bagging Teela while she was actually up on Amazon too.

    So far…not one figure from this line has disappointed me….it is like they jumped right out of the screen! I have every figure available on pre-order… This line has been as exciting to collect as the Orgins line (Which I think are absolutely fantastic…best update to the original figures ever!!!!!)

    Online, yes. In stores, he's $30 but the employees will happily price match for you.

    I got Faker popped apart to see how they worked.

    Switching the loin cloth/crotch shouldn't be hard.

    So yesterday my local Target had a shelf full of Fakers today they're all gone, no doubt on their way to ebay.

    That was the case at my Target on Friday, but there was also an entire endcap display of the "Origins Of Evil" set. I had to chuckle at this, since last week's feud between Retroblasting and Spector Creative got me to check out some of their videos & one of them was about the then-difficulty in finding that set.

    Nice! I might have a go at making a blue faker then.

    Having had Faker for a few days now... I just can't get into him. It bums me out. I think he's the one dud in the line for me (based on what I have and what we've seen of the upcoming waves).

    He just feels like such a half-hearted design. I'm not saying it needs to be full-on vintage Faker, I just think he needs more a more cohesive visual look. If the exposed metal extended down to the legs, I think it would help it a lot (even if it's not screen-accurate).

    I also wish that He-Man's shield had red internal panels, so that Faker's orange ones were more distinct.

    Ah well. I still want him to have the full lineup, but I wish I liked him a bit more.
