Meh... Yeah, that's all I can really muster as a reaction. Well... FIRST reaction.
Two 20 oz. Cups of coffee later...
WHAT THE HELL POWER-CON!? WHAT IN THE FREAKING HELL!? SPIKOR!? FREAKING SPIKOR AS AN EXCLUSIVE!? THAT'S THE BIGGEST DICK MOVE SINCE THE NON-ATTENDANCE PASS!?
OK, now that I purged the Neeeeeeerrrrd rrrrraaaaaaaageeee! Out of my system, let me explain:
Spikor as a con exclusive feels like a dick move. He could've easily sold a wave. Now here he is at $50 with no accessories... No alternate extra hand, no weapon, nothing!
Melaktha would've been a decent choice for Power-Con... He's got a following, but it's not a MANDATORY figure. He could easily walk the line between Club Grayskull and Collector's Choice... (Even if I loathe that idea on principle... Club Grayskull is meant to be a Filmation variants only line). Hell, even Kothos could go both ways...
Garn! He could totally work both ways as well...
So far, this Exclusive is a snoozefest... Like Filmation Clawful. I kinda want the other two to be like super crappy... Like Danavas.
Well, time will tell who's coming... Besides Winter, Ned...
OK that last part was a bit mean-spirited. Since Spikor already sucks, I don't want the other two to be good, because then I'd be tempted to get them all. Especially since they aren't Collector's Choice.
Action figures, Movies, Games, TV shows, things I like, Things I hate, weird news old or recent... they're fair game for my rants. DISCLAIMER: OPINIONS POSTED ARE EXAGGERATED FOR COMEDIC EFFECT!! Got it?
3 con figures? just add 1 and make it another wave of figures.
ReplyDeletemaking spikor a con-exclusive is a bad idea. there is no reason this tiny con should have so many exclusive figures that are not re-paints.
The powercon exclusives should have been:
pink teela
hordak in toy color
correct color tri-klops with movable visor and extra head with simplified toy visor
(who is danavas?)
Your suggestions are logical... We can't have that kind of things around here. But to be fair, these were planned "long before the screw-ups were revealed"...
