Transparency and the Neitlich-less goof ups!


We still don't know how much Point Dread will cost... We still don't know when or how much the Filmation Sub Line will cost. We still don't know how much Euro Vacation Hssss will cost. Mattel pretty much deleted all complaints about Point Dread and Teela from their forums.

Transparency... Now means complete silence. Arm Wrestling with Megabeast seems easier than prying info from Mattel. Thing is we're not even trying to get some top secret info. We want to know how much will Point Dread (coming in October or November... I think November, but some rumors are pointing to an Earlier October Release) cost. People want to GIVE MONEY TO MATTEL for an item that was announced to come and the fwoosh! even has a review sample of it!
Why the Secrecy!? We know the item is coming either in a few weeks or a month. They surely have a price point but decided to keep it secret for reasons unknown...

Maybe it has to do with the backlash they received? Now I wonder, why wasn't Teela shown at SDCC? They had Point Dread there...

Probably because they messed up and did not want to tell us about it especially after the whole Attack on Neitlich slideshow...

Products are not Cheap/Sub-Par/Compromised... Point Dread and Teela beg to differ.
But that's not the only goof they have done so far... Rotar and Twistoid were NOT in Early Access
yet, Mattel claimed that SDCC Items were not meant to be EA Candidates...

 Just leaving that pic there... for no reason at all. Ignore the Highlighted text that promoted the 200X sub with the reward of being able to buy SDCC items via Early Access if you subscribed.

Add the Major case of Derpeye on the female figures to the mix and you see a rather unfortunate record of boners in 9 months... Made Worse with the 3 months of boners ever since SDCC and their Attack the Neitlch slideshow. Now there are rumors of International Fans not being able to get the upcoming Laser 2 pack. The hits keep piling up and this may damage the chances for Future subs...
What if the Actual He-Man and the Masters of the Universe end up looking as bad as PD Teela, but people find out AFTER they have subbed? 2017 will not look good...

  1. yeah, these new guys suck. how have they not announced the price yet? prices are set months in advance based on set costs & they have to let the clowns at DR know how much it is. they are probably scrambling to figure out the LL figures. don't forget how dragstor has a black torso instead of blue like vintage. i wonder what they will screw up next.
