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.

It came from the Toy Chest: No he can't see why kids love Cinnamon Toast Crunch...

I am talking about Tri-Klops... Filmation style...
In my rush to recreate an infamous pose, I may have forgotten to take the MOC Pic.
He sees everything, everywhere, but he's never looking when Adam transforms into He-Man. He's amongst the least incompetent villains of Skeletor.

Articulation:
Standard Filmation sub-line Articulation in theory. He has the new ankle artiArticula, while less unsightly than the He-Man Rockers, it's range is slightly less... His thighs seem a bit loose. Not figure will fall loose, but slightly looser than I'd like.
We cannot speak Articulation without mentioning the visor issue. Many Tri-Klops visors are stuck. I don't know if it's paint that is not fully dry when the head is attached. I don't know if it's glue that is being added by mistake. I don't know if the plastics are having a strange reaction and the result is a sort of chemical bond. All I know is that My Tri-Klops visor was fused shut. I had to pop the head, heat it up, and attempt to pry the visor loose with an ingrown toenail tool.

I think it's glue, seeing that the head has an odd colored glob on the side of the peg where the visor attaches to the head. Also that section feels slightly odd.
4.0

Paint and Sculpt:
He looks Filmation, but in a Classics style buck, which makes him a bit too bulky. That's why it's impossible to redo the infamous "gay pose" that haters use to mock MOTU. BUT the bulkiness is a problem stemming from Mattel quarter-assing things... And now S7 is following in their footsteps.
Paintwork is decent... The Vintage toy color choice is, well, let's leave it to a professional:

4.5

Accessories:
A Blaster
Mini Comics sword.
4.0

Overall:
Tri-Klops gets a 4.16 as his final score. He passes. While there have been some odd QC issues on the wave, the potential for an amazing figure is there. Super7 NEEDS to iron out these links for wave 2. Otherwise Wave 3 might be a dream that will not become real.
