Super 7 MOTU

[Beedo Sookcool]

It's possible they're going through them in chronological order of when they were ordered. Am I remembering correctly that you waited a bit to order yours, Prfkt? I know I ordered mine the first day they went up.

It's been a while! I got my Series 1 Grayskull/Eternia, but haven't been able to open them yet. Soon...

Going to pre-order Stridor!

[Beedo Sookcool]

Got my Stridor ordered just in time. Also ordered the PowerCon set the same day. Was worried my paycheque wouldn't arrive in time, but happily, it did. Looking forward to receiving these very much.

Well, I've seen the "What's Going On?" Prince Adam, and I'm annoyed that it's truly SDCC-only.

Now, if they were to re-release it as a standard Club Grayskull Prince Adam, with a standard head on the neck and the laughing head tucked away in a corner of the box and non-sparkly packaging, that'd be great.

. . . Aaaaaand, they're doing a pre-order so non-attendees can order him. Excellent.

But some of the whining going on online. People whined when he was just an SDCC thing, people whined when they made him available to all. People whined that he existed in the first place.

Yeesh!

So, then. Filmation She-Ra, Fisto, Mantenna, and Grizzlor.

And SNAKE freakin' MOUNTAIN.

So stoked!

People just like to whine... I think MOTU fans just love to be miserable. I really hope it's just a vocal minority and not the majority of whiny, entitled jerks. They were whining about Snake Mountain... I mean, c'mon, SNAKE. FREAKIN. MOUNTAIN!!!! So excited to get my hands on that. For a time I really thought it would never happen. I kinda came to accept it. If they can actually put that into production I will literally be over the moon.

[Beedo Sookcool]

Exactly! I think we're in one of the most negative fandoms out there. They can't just ENJOY things anymore. Everything sets off a bunch of them moaning and screaming and bitching. Most lately, it's all the butthurt man-babies complaining that the new She-Ra is some kind of sinister brainwashing conspiracy. Granted, I don't like the new art style, but for crying out Pete's sake!!!

I am so looking forward to Snake Mountain. I hope the pre-order / subscription / kickstarter period is good 'n' lengthy.

Well, Stridor arrived at Chez Sookcool this morning after paying his government ransom import duties. Despite all the moaning on the interwebs, the mailer box he came in was just fine, only dinged about as much as what I used to pull out of a larger shipping crate from MattyCollector sometimes. I reckon people should be complaining more about their parcel delivery services than Super7's mailing decision.

Stridor himself is pretty dang good. The helmets and front cannons are a tad soft and warped in the package, but some hot water soon got that fixed. A couple of my hip/shoulder joints seem a tad looser than the other two, but it's not a colossal biggie. I can't pose him "rearing up" even when he's riderless, but it's not like he was going in my display that way, anyway.

Now, if only the circuitry on the back of his seat were painted and he had his escutcheons, he would be just about perfect.

[Beedo Sookcool]

Heh. Just got an e-mail shipping notice this morning to tell me that Stridor is on its way.
