Action Figure Woes: This is Cringer, my fearless friend?

Mattel kinda announced their SDCC stuff on Attack of the Show.
DCUC are Getting Swamp Thing.
Ghostbusters are getting Stay Puft Marshmellow Man (@$70)
Polly Pocket is getting a 3 pack inspired by Princess of Power... (Catra, She-Ra and Frosta...) PP gets a Frosta before we get a MOTUC Frosta! Son of a Shoopuff! (sorry playing too much FFX and FFX-2)
MOTUC are Getting Cringer and Queen Marlena!!
DAMMIT! DAMMIT! DAMMIT!
As I've said before... Main Characters as con exclusives scare me... It's almost like they want to punish us who can't go to SDCC and get these wonderful toys...
Sure Swamp thing looks kinda cool, but I can skip him. (Don't like the idea of him being internally articulated... Rubber pieces + Movement... Worries me a lot!)
Stay Puft it's too expensive.
Polly Pocket 3 pack sounds very tempting...
Marlena and Cringer... Obviously I'll try to get it!

Now on my thoughts regards this 2 pack:
Hookay! Where to begin: Cringer looks like a statue... (No PoA!? Not cool) Nice looking, but statue-esque.
Marlena: It looks like she reuses Adora's body but with She-Ra's boots and a few extra details. I' worried about the dress swapping mechanics will work... On the other hand this explains that Marlena IS from Earth.
Like her son before her, she apparently will be available at SDCC AND at Mattycollector.com
(The Matty version will be sold as Astronaut Marlena Glenn, while the SDCC version will be the Queen Version) Also Cringer has 2 PoA... Head and Tail... So said teh Spector... Still not cool... The Cringer thing.
