Rumors of SDCC MOTUC... Thoughts...

In a recent Q & A, Super7 didn't discard the idea of SDCC MOTUC Exclusives. I hope they consider it. It's a nice way to squeeze out an extra item. Since there are TWO LINES: I will post ideas for possible Exclusives for both. No playsets, no steeds, nor vehicles...
Random aside note: Ready Player One had the most powerful three seconds in the Universe.

But back to the items that I think Could make sense as an exclusive:

Club GRAYSKULL:
5- Faker: Not the Blue He-Man in Skeletor Outfit. But He-Man with GITD eyes. (Apparently, the License doesn't allow for the "Filmationizing" of figures who weren't part of the cartoons. Or in outfits NOT from the Cartoons... Translation: No gray Filmation Hordak, nor Blue Faker.)
It allows Super7 to "release a He-Man" without releasing He-Man...

4- Adam (w/Orko): MOTUC Scaled Adam figures end up being Exclusive items somehow. This one keeping the tradition makes sense. He's literally a new head and sword, since most of the figure, is already down by S7. Orko is mostly done thanks to Power-Con.

3- Mekaneck and Buzz-off two pack: since Power-Con has Jitsu and Spikor as exclusives, then adding two heroic warriors for balance seems fair. Besides, these guys aren't core like Ram Man and Stratos.

2- King Randor and Queen Marlena: While these two are super important, they work better out of "sub" (wave) items, since they'd free space for important figures to make. (Stratos, Ram Man)

1- Twins of Power: I know it seems like a dick move, but we have 2 Filmation Horsemen and no She-Ra. Putting her with He-Man is a tribute to Secret of the sword and a celebration of both Filmation Cartoons.

Collector's Choice:
Note: these suggestions will be Two-packs because they'll have a "refresh" of an older Character with a new one. To make it more appealing than a single D-List Character

5- Fisto vs Chimera: The idea here is to get a more Vintage accurate Fisto (red hair, no 200X Sword Holster, lumberjack hairstyle...) Chimera is a rather easy Character to make (and it's a dick move against the Club Grayskull segregationists)

4-Mini Comics Tri-Klops vs Slamurai: This gets Slamurai out, which helps complete the Strobo wave (aside the Snack Troopers) and it gives us Mini Comics Tri-Klops (whose blade already exists in S7's tool bank.)

3-Newspaper King Hsss vs Garn: Newspaper Hssss is doubly useful as an alternative look to turpentine Hsss and can be used as a Snake man priest if he's not your Hssss. The hook here is Garn, to complete a set, since Lodar is in our collections.

2- Discs of Doom Skeletor vs Nocturna: in this case, the hook is the variant. I chose Nocturna as the GP because he's a curve ball. (Also wouldn't require too many new pieces vs Skeletor.)

1- Skeleteen vs Prince Dare: I know that this is a bit of a dick move, but we DO NEED Dare's "Skeletor" (and his "Adam mode"... Having it as a con exclusive is an added evil bonus)

These are the items I think COULD work as an exclusive... I'll get back to finishing the Fangor and Hordak reviews.
