The Mekaneck Thread (September, Samples Pg. 3)

[DrRampageo]

So Mattel is sending out emails with pics of the much anticipated October figure to sub holders...

looks GREAT!!

Looks great!

Pretty much 100% what I expected but I think the reveal itself is the surprise.

The two interchangable neck pieces are fantastic --- I'm presuming it will be like Too Tall or whatever that Star Sister's name is.

Giving sub holders an exclusive "sneak peak" isn't really a "benefit" since you know as soon as the e-mail goes out it will get posted around the various intarwebs. But if thats what they want to think, then so be it.

So for the rest of the year we've got:
June Horde Prime
July Spikor
August - Snake Men 2-pack and Sir Laser-Lot
Sept - Frosta
Oct - Mekaneck

We can assume Mosquitor will be November or December.

So whats the final slot?

[DrRampageo]

Yeah the reveal is way more suprising than the figure itself for sure.

the neck pieces are really the best way to do it without having a action feature

Oh I reposted it within seconds of getting the email ha ha thats really the only benifit of getting the email

The rest fo the year is looking great with what we know..plus the final 30th unknown and the winner of the contest..

While I'd much rather have seen them try a 2-3 piece segmented neck that could be extended/compressed for varying heights, this is still a must buy regardless.

Well these two pieces give you four different heights: 2", 3", 5" and fully retracted.

2", 5", 7" and fully retracted. Sorry for the wrong numbers

[PrfktTear]

There will be the 2" and the 5" --- I didn't get the impression that they would be able to be combined --- If not NBD I think the two are enough --- If you can combine them, thats cool.

[Bigbot84]

I read at the .org that Neitlich mentioned that it's only 2" or 5", there is no combining of the necks.

[NoisyDvL5]

I was trying to wrap my brain around them not being interchangeable.

The head fits on the main body and on the top of the necks. Therefore, the connection at the bottom of the neck has to be compatible with the connection at the top of neck. They would've been easily stackable and yet they're not.

[Tekwych]

So, on a product line that needs to be constantly cut back on to meet production costs they spent extra design time and other resources to remove what should have been a basic and obvious feature.

That's logistics for you
