Mattel is pumping out bios this week with another look at another July figure, Icer! Icer comes to us via the MOTU Classics Filmation minisub.
Here’s what Mattel had to say about Icer’s release:
The Filmation subscription has begun! Icer, our premier figure in the 6 month 2013 Club Filmation subscription has begun! Icer ships in July to all Club Filmation sub holders with additional small quantities available for day of sales. Note Icer does not ship to Club Eternia members. Club Filmation was a separate purchase back in Feb. with one new Filmation character each month (from either the classic He-Man and Princess of Power animated shows!) July through December 2013.
Icer comes complete with ice pick weapon and the animated version of ther Staff of Avion. Finally a cool accessory for your MOTUC Stratos figure! (or anyone else who wants to wield it!)
Icer – Evil Master of Cold, Real Name: Icleeel of the Outer Stillia Clan
Originally from the outskirts of Stillia in the Ice Mountains, Icer is a master of controlling cold weather. Skeletor recruited him after realizing a need for evil agents in the North and exploited him when Whiplash failed to obtain the Ice Raider from King Randor. Skeletor ordered his new frozen ally to take over the northern weather station and create cold weather all over Eternia, while he attempted to steal the Ice Raider himself. Icer has freezing powers and melts into water when he needs to get in or out of tight spots.
Honestly, I’m not excited about the Filmation subscription. I’m actually one of those folks that’s happy these figures aren’t in the main sub! And yet, I subscribed anyway. Icer is, at least, the figure I’m most excited about out of the three that have been revealed so far. Hopefully, I’ll get lucky when the second half is revealed next month!
Really looking forward to this guy and the other two in this mini-sub that have been revealed so far. And I only had to wait about 30 years . . . .
Icer is my favorite of the Filmation sub characters as well. Cold weather-based figures are always welcome in my collection. I don’t actually remember watching the episode he was in but it really looks like an awesome figure.
Cool figure. 🙂
Sorry, couldn’t help it.
He looks great.
On an unrelated note, Netflix, why must you get rid of classic He-man and She-ra this weekend? 🙁
Icer looks good just with translucent, Goddess anyone, always that worry. Still haven’t watched his ep yet(its on season one right)
Await to see what the other 3 are though.
Nope, it’s a Season 2 episode. Essentially, he’s a one-man ninja army, “melt-teleporting” all over the place, infiltrating the heroes’ base, and taking people out left, right, and center.
I’m also concerned about the translucent plastic being brittle on this guy. I won’t be doing a lot of extreme posing with him.
i’m right there with you. so glad Icer is not in Club Eternia. Same for Batros. When I first saw his reveal my stomach dropped. Thanks goodness for Club Filmation. The two so far I do like are Shockoti and Sea Hawk.
Sea Hawk is coming??? FINALLY????
They leaked a teaser of a prototype cutlass a few months back, saying that the owner of that sword would only be available to Club Filmation subscribers. Although I haven’t seen any absolute confirmation, everyone’s taking it as read that it’s going to be Sea Hawk.
alright stop, collaborate and listen! ice is back with my brand new invention!
The real Ice Man in my opinion. I’m really looking to having him.
BTW, i forgot to ask this… given the statement about the “animated Staff of Avion,” is that presumptive language that intimates that there’s a real Staff of Avion which this is not a replica of?
Well, it is distinguishing Icer’s Staff from the OTHER Staff of Avion (The Emerald one), that appeared in the “Seige of Avion” Mini-Comic. :^)
“Siege”, of course, not “Seige”. LoL
I’m excited to get Icer, Shokoti’s alright, but I like her monster way more than the actual figure and I would have been fine if we never got Batros. I kind of…hate Batros. As a character and toy.
