    Too bad the face wasn't removable with the 'easter egg' transformation face like MP-36

    Mostly antitrust laws.

    it’s why we’ll never get He Man X Transformers (or barbie’s corvette turning into some Nightbird Barbie).

    if Mattel and Hasbro merged before Neca toys starts to outsell one of them, it will be too much of a monopoly to not find itself in antitrust litigation. Too much of the market share.

    Doesn't Mattel have the Jurassic Park/World license? Yet Hasbro is doing that crossover figure. Doing a crossover doesn't mean the companies are merging so antitrust laws aren't really at play here

    I would say that Playmates and Jakks Pacific are bigger than NECA. NECA is probably the biggest of the specifically 'adult collectible' manufacturers.

    Too many corporations already have absorb other companies into their ranks, leaving them bloated and little room for competition. Looking at you Disney.

    this is true, though jurassic park is as much mattel’s as star wars is hasbro’s. A license for the duration of a contract.

    He-Man and Barbie are mattel’s in the way transformers is hasbro’s. Wholly owned.

    I think.

    Not quite with MOTU. Right now Universal owns the TV rights, while Mattell has the toys. However, Universal gets the toy rights in 2023. So, Hasbro could technically pitch to do MOTU figures in 2023 if they wanted.

    MOTU Legends figures would probably sell pretty well. Call it the "Eternia" collection or something.

    if Hasbro isn’t making a tremendous pitch to do just in 2023 that and mattel isn’t making a tremendous pitch to retain the license, they’re both dropping the ball.

    Yeah, that license is gettable, since Mattel has botched literally EVERY reboot so far.... and the supporting media has always been awesome, as have the toys. They just screw up the assortments so they end up with a BUNCH of pegwarmers

    Welp! Since there doesn't seem to be a Feedback thread of any kind for this set. I guess I'll shove all my photos here of the one I got from pulse this morning. :p 

    Bottom line...

    I FUCKING LOVE IT!!! I need more Purple Undead Dinos in my life.

    Megs is even better somehow than the other Netflix megs that shares the same exact mold.

    Recently acquired one myself (Minus Skelivore, which I didn’t want) and I have to agree with you. He looks pretty damn good all decked out in his matrix bandolier finery.

    Any word on if this will see a TakaraTomy release like they did with Ultra Magnus and Nemesis Prime?

    Did anyone figure out of the matrix straps on this is made of some material that will melt paint in a similar fashion as the blast effects?

    Down to £39.99 for U.K. peeps at Smyth’s right now - had already dropped to £49.99 about 2-3 weeks ago so have finally pulled the trigger at £39.99
