No such luck. Mattycollector did let me know that WWE Legends Bundy will be available for sale this Monday, but no, no picture of <strong>Mekaneck<\/strong> for me. Oh, did I spill it right there? Oops&#8230; Anyway, I swiped said pic for your perusal:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"newsimages\/spacer.png\"><br \/>\n<center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"newsimages\/matty\/mek.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p>This was a unexpected surprise for me since the October figure is usually revealed at SDCC! Yes, Stinkor did give us the armor, so Mekanek didn&#8217;t seem too far away, but I honestly expected Mattel to hold out on him until post-Ram Man at this point. <\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, Meksy looks pretty sharp! Not a lot of MO2K influence here, but I can&#8217;t think of anything that MO2K really did to alter or change him that wouldn&#8217;t instantly be considered a &#8220;hyper-anime&#8221; element. I&#8217;m hoping that there&#8217;s still some deco work to be done on the goggles &#8211; something to differentiate them a little more: a metallic green, chrome, even a different shade of silver. Also, I have some high hopes for those neck pieces (will they be combinable, will the connections be ball-jointed to allow for some directional movement), but this is going to be another solid month for 2012. Feels like we&#8217;re filling up holes in the classic line left and right! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mattycollector announced the upcoming October figure via a \u201csneak peek\u201d e-mail for Club Eternia members.
