    There is a $50 vehicle coming but all signs (box art) point to Spydor. However the Battleram is one of the first things to come in the vintage line so I'm sure it'll come out before the end of the first year.

    The original was about the same size. Not as detailed and it was very “sled” like with smooth bottom. I don’t think it was ever released separately either (just Battle Ram).

    I hope so.

    I’m not too into Spydor but really want the Battle Ram and Attacktrak. Would be funny if they released just the back part and if you missed out on the sled you get assed out.

    My Zodac showed up, today. Sad that I was super excited for Man-E-Faces and I honestly can't stand him but, Zodac is one of the best releases.

    Tomorrow, Mer-Man comes and Dorko from Amazon.

    If you're fine with his weird MRE pudding color, youre alright. I think I might bin him and get my vintage out.

    I cleaned him up a bit.

    Yeah kind of right there with you, one of my top characters and the figure is pretty shit. The body positioning is down right awful. He is constantly leaning back. I also really don’t care for the tech-legs on Trap-Jaw and Man-E-Faces. They’re just too small and throw the figure off. And the color matching sucks. Can’t say I care a ton because the line is cheap and fun and I have the Classics. But yeah seems like little to no effort was put into that figure.

    These were found up in Canada. It’d be nice if we got some sort of Zoom call with Mattel before more stuff leaks out unannounced like this whole wave. It looks like they’ve caught up with Origins production so they’re using more of their parts instead of MOTUC parts. Going to give that blast effect to Roboto. Now that I understand the parts swapping aspect of this line with MOTUO, it looks like Warrior’s red cape has white fur at the top. Might attempt a King Grayskull custom.

    Oh hell naw, I haven't even gotten all of Wave 1-4 yet of WWEternia. UGH.

    Incidentally, why did they use the most unflattering promo shot for Stephanie? Her arms don't look posable, that skull mask is not doing any favors and I find it curious she's wearing Evil-Lyns' head gear instead of having a head of hair.

    What the heck? That wasn't the wave I saw teased. Where's Piper and Ricky Steamboat? And why can't I buy these (at retail) anywhere other than walmart! I hate exclusives.
