The line's first $80 piece, and the fan vote went for Filmation red, over mini-comic green. Can't wait to see it, but at that price, I'll only want one, and I think I'll just have to wait and hope for a green second release, as I much prefer that version.[/list]
Filmation licence was something we all knew was coming, but it's great to finally be confirmed.

Ah, I thought green would win. I'm sure a red one will be nice, but I also hope they release a green version some day.

toynewsi.com have images of new cardbacks:

Spoiler:

So ... what's up with Evil-Lyn and Skeletor? They're "secretly" married and have a son who was sent into the future without Skeletor's knowledge? Do we know who their son is? Is it meant to be NA Skeletor or someone else?

Cheers.

Thanks Jor!

Some really cool bio's there.

So did they show the rest of the figures coming this year? Who was the all new female we are seeing before the years out?

Bubble Power She-Ra is the all-new (parts) female.

On another note, what does everyone think about the "Mini-Masters"?

Yeah, I liked the little guys. Maybe a line like that would do good at retail?

Ah right. Cheers.

Re: Mini-Masters

Cute idea, but I'll stick to MOTUC. If I saw them in-store for $2.00 each, I'd be tempted to pick up a couple. But I won't be buying them from mattycollector.com or importing them from the US if they're released to retail there.

Re: All New Female

Apparently She-Ra V2.0 utilises Teela's hip articulation to enable greater "spread" (no dirty pun intended) for Swift-Wind riding purposes, which makes The Sorceress with BG Teela hip-articulation and She-Ra V2.0's waist-twist the true "all new" female figure.

Then again, it looks like the Star Sisters also have a lot of unique parts.

Re: Five Announcements?

Did there end up being five? Filmation, Mini-comics, Create-a-Character and the six other Create-a-Character figures? Was there meant to be something else?

Cheers.

I'd say that Fearless Photog would be the 5th.

The star wars and marvel mini figures work out to be $5 each at retail, so these would be more than $2..... I'll buy any they produce any way they sell them (retail or mattycollector) I love them!

Love the boxed art-work on the Wind Raider!

Yeah, looks freakin awesome!

Thirded !!

It will be mine!! mwahahahahah.

I wonder how hard its gonna be to nab one of these, seeing as it isn't part of the subscription. Only time will tell, but I do hope I can nab at least one!

Gotta laugh at how uncomfortable Swiftwinds seat is for poor bow legged She-Ra! LOL

I already told my MOTUC connect that I want 3 Windraiders, and now that i seen the pics of it and the box art, hells yeah I want em!!!!

I saw a seperate pic of Swiftys mask among the SDCC stuff. I wonder if he will have the ability to transform into Spirit?

I'm not sure how removeable wings would go.

^^^^

I *think* someone asked about whether the wings were removeable and they were told that they were not, which makes it difficult to create a "Spirit" figure. Of course, Swift-Wind's mohawk would also make it difficult for the figure to double as "Spirit" since the latter would never style his mane like that.

Mohawk?? Isn't it just wind blown?

^^^^

Then why isn't the wind blowing his tail? I think it's pretty clear that Swift-Wind is embracing his inner punk and rocking the mohawk for all of Etheria to admire and fear.

Wings are removeable. http://www.he-man.org/news_article.php?id=2030

Per Toyguru about Spirit/Swift-Wind transfomation and the "holes" left if the wings are removed:

I asked Terry about this today and the answer is no. Also, the neck piece does not come off. Terry said to do that the head would need to come off and he felt that was just too Godfather to do that to Swifty. He added that the plan is for future horses to have saddles that cover the holes.

So yes, I suppose for the purists this is not a full on 100% Spirit. But hey, we did Cringer and Battlecat (granted their is more of a size difference) but still, we'll take everyone's comments for future figures going forward. This is not something we can add to Swiftwind now. But it was reviewed!

***

I'm surprised that they honestly didn't consider that people would want to switch between Spirit and Swift-Wind? Toyguru's response indicates that they really didn't give it any thought at all.

It would be cool to pose Adora on Spirit, though I'm not sure how well she would fit in that saddle anyway.

my white horse type thing will more than likely be up for sale when it arrives

lol white horse type thingy...

My star sisters thingy will prob be the same. Zero interest in them!

But there is so much awesome to make up for it so its all good!
