    They've been saying that the whole site is getting a revamp, but that's been years now. We'll see I'm hopeful it'll come back with a better forum and a more well organized site layout, but as you said this has happened to other websites.

    In more cheerful news...


    I'm dieing to read this mini comic.

    Unless Val sells it off it isn't coming back. I'm shocked the forums are still running.

    After looking into it, I agree. I'm sad I missed out on Leo Faker and Dupli-cat, but I would love that gray armor Leo Skeletor. I do need a Skeletor, but I think I might give it a bit to see if they do a Leo version eventually. I'm patient, and there will always be a Skeletor available.

    I think I've seen somebody approximate a Leo Skeletor in Origins by swapping out Webstor parts since they're the same mold. With a bit of heat, you can swap legs at the thigh easily.

    That doesn't get the gray armor though.

    Check Amazon.
    You can always dye the armor and weapons.

    Come on Matty I need Origins Terroar yesterday!
    That and the other 88 guys as well. Hoping they will be made as retail figures and not MC Exclusives.

    Are they going to have a shouting match?

    I think it's rumored that we are getting Slamurai in a future wave, so hopefully that means they throw the other 88 weirdos in retail eventually as well!

    Wow this brings back some memories as a kid...I remember loving the Claw. Glad they are keeping some of the action functions.

    Im all for as many figures as possible. But theres something about that 1988 art. They just look so lazy and arbitrary to me. For some reason I can accept Mer Man/Stinkor and Beastman/Moss Man, but this Whiplash repaint just seems too cheap to me.
