<\/a>Vykron is actually the first thing to load when you hit up Mattycollector’s SDCC news article, but I saved him for last because of the fan reaction. If this is your first time seeing the Vykron exclusive, he’s one figure with three different sets of gear – barbarian, military (tank), and spaceman that commemorates the 30th Anniversary of MOTU. Unless you’re really into He-Man, it’s likely that you’ve never heard of him, so how does he celebrate 30 years? Well, that’s a little difficult to wrap your mind around. While these specific figure designs went unused, they represent the early genesis of Masters of the Universe as designed by Roger Sweet. These guys are pre Vikor & Demo-Man!<\/p>\nNow I could nitpick some things here and there, but ultimately these won me over pretty quickly, the Tank Man most of all. The idea of being able to pop the armor on and off and change these guys around really appeals to me. Right now, the plan is to buy three and I might even customize the bucks a bit more on top of that and give them some even more unique looks. These guys are going onto my shelf as a team of three characters to be sure. <\/p>\n
If you’re not into this trio, and it seems a decent-sized chunk of folks aren’t, I think that’s the beauty of Vykron being an SDCC exclusive – he’s easily skippable. Even if you’re a MOTU Subscriber! He’s the one MOTU figure (so far) this year that won’t be coming to anyone that doesn’t want him. That said, I understand being disappointed. I feel the same pain since Mattel skipped over DC 6″ entirely this year – that one really hurts. I don’t begrudge the staction though, I simply won’t buy it. For MOTU Fans, July is Spikor month and August will see the Snakeman 2pk. It won’t be all that bleak in the short few weeks between those two releases – and we’ll be busy mulling over the early 2013 offerings shown at SDCC to boot! <\/p>\n
Overall, it’s still a light SDCC for me. Last year was 2 Marlenas, a briefly-white Stay Puft, and Swamp Thing. This year, it would appear Matty only has me on the hook for Vykron, though it’s three times over. Even better than that though, at least so far, is there appears to be no SDCC Inclusives yet – no Gleek, no Un-Men, or any attendee-only deal to make me blow money on eBay before these are offered on Mattycollector. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
