    Good news: I finally found the Prince Adam w/ Sky Sled.
    Bad news: The packaging art is so damn beautiful that I don't want to open him.

    EDIT: Since the box has some pretty large dimensions, I realised that I don't have a good way to display it. Open it, it is!

    I put the snake head on the sled and gave it to Jake to ride. Adam is hanging out with the other Adams on Castle Greyskull.

    Trap Jaw! And Scareglow arrives this week, too. I'm still debating purchasing Orko, I know he completes the collection but he's such a fucking knob of a character and all but I still don't know if I want him.

    I also saw they're planning on releasing Tri-Klops, but in a red and white color scheme I don't recognize, any indications that they'll release the regular green armor version?

    Same here... oh what to do?
    The one with the red armor is based on his early mini comic appearance but a toy/cartoon based Tri-Clops shows up on one of the wave 3 card backs.

    No. I've been watching the old cartoons on YouTube and I really can't stand that little twerp.
    Yes. Yes you do.

    Aww man, I love Orko! He’s my biggest want from wave 2. I’m a fan of sidekick/comic relief characters...snarf snarf...

    Thats cool. I know when I was little I liked them but now as an adult they get on my nerves. Orko is an interesting idea but damn it give the poor thing some growth.

    At least Orko wasn't too bad compared to some others IMO. I wasn't a fan of when he directly acted like a little kid, but I thought the He-Man and later She-Ra episodes where they brought in more elements and characters from Trolla added some good background stuff. I kind of liked that episode of She-Ra (in fact I think it was the final episode) that brought her to there, and their idea of a Trolla criminal was a mad scientist who rejected magic.

    I've seen that one recently it was good. If there was more like that I'd be fine with Orko.
