Well, there goes $40 more dollars.
I’m really glad the 4H are offering these to us who can’t go to the convention.
Yes, I’ve really appreciated that over the years, even if I haven’t always b een able to take advantage of it.
And I’m happy with the $40 price because I don’t think $10 each for these is bad and that means the regular ones shouldn’t be any more expensive!
So we have to join the board by Monday, but when will we buy them?
July 14th is the expectation
After the announcement on Monday evening, they’ll give us the time – so far sometime on Wednesday. Sadly, I’m ultra busy that day…
The one guy doesn’t look like the right type of plastic for glowing in the dark, but maybe it’s a mockup.
They still look really great, but I fear that 300 units may not be near enough. I’m going to SDCC, but I’m considering trying to just pick them up ahead of time to be safe.
Yeah, they are just a mock-up. Check out the thread below…and it also shows examples of what they may actually look like.

Thanks for the link! They’ll look even better in those crystal clear colors. Hrm…
They’re going to look great in Matt’s crystal clear plastic.
These look great! I’m gonna wait for the regular releases, but just seeing them again really gives me hope for this line.
Have we seen Metamorpho’s other faces yet? I’m dying to see the udpate to the other two!
There was a grainy picture of the lizard face in the black production samples, but we’ve yet to see the more humanish face.
These are freaking sweet. I’m getting more and more excited about these (and I blame your website and the great recent articles on the OSM!), can’t wait to get some!
I’ll have to pass on these, just not enough $$$ for all the great stuff coming out. I hope you guys are able to pick some up, that way I can enjoy them vicariously through your reviews.
Thanks! I hope we can snag two (one for me & one for Vault). Vault’s registered, but I’m still cautiously awaiting the timing of the order since Wednesday is a busy day for me.
They look awesome and I’d love to support a line that limits the amount of exclusives people can buy to one a person, but I just don’t know which of these guys is my favorite yet.
I haven’t been able to pick a favorite.
These do look cool, but will 300 be enough? That seems incredibly limited.
Well it is an exclusive so it supposed to be limited. The idea is that this will be something that VERY few people will own, something for the serious collector. If you just want action figures then wait for the standard release. Personally more companies need to get back to this and stop caving to ‘must have’, ‘how dare you not make it easy for me’, cry-babies that have joined this community in resent years.
Collecting a toy line means spending years looking for some rarer figures, even passing them up to get something else, and not completing your collection until years after ‘teh line is ded’, if ever. The hunt is what makes collecting, at least for me.
300 could be enough, I don’t have any idea what the market needs to be for these.
Tek, I don’t know how I feel about what you’re saying. A part of me agrees with you, but another part of me is thinking about Spirit of Grayskull and Holiday Hal. Though I guess you could say there’s a type of escalation effect going on there?
These look better everytime I see them!
