Battle Ram in MOTUC discussion

[MOONCHILD]

THIS IS JUST TO GOOD TO BE TRUE!!!
AWESOME Is the least I can say about it.
I love everything about it, the colour scheme, the details...
I just can't wait to hold it. This will shurelly be a quick sellout, probably available for the first 15 min, if not less...
Mattell really needs to increase the production numbers on this one... Just think about the number of buyers that will buy multiples, just for customs of the skysled part?!?

I know it is a bit too coincidental that we get told of a Q4 vehicle and this gets shown by the 4H but I won't be completely convinced in Mattel come out and officially say Battle Ram is the vehicle and it will be released Q4.

The sooner they come out and say the happier I will be. Start saving for Castle Grayskull folks because you know that has to be in the pipeline somewhere

Mattel, this is me letting you know- I want it.

I just checked the matty forum and posted Daniels 4H quote over there!

Lets make some noise in there as well!

The Battle Ram is amazing. I would however like to see it with a bit greener paint job...something closer to the original box art.

[bskcase]

I want that Battle Ram. Matty really needs to get things going. I'm more curious about the price point, but I was thinking that it really wouldn't be that big of a deal. We don't need any rocket firing parts. It can simply be just 2 pieces (Jet and Cannon) with the rolling wheels and we'll even put our own stickers on.

Not much articulation and assembly going on there. This would keep the price down, hopefully.

[Agent-GHQ]

Considering the success in sales and the ultimate driving force is "Nastalgic" im pretty sure this is a no brainer. However, I'd say $25- bucks for this. Its not like it transforms, have die-cast parts, rubber tires or require complex engineering compared to The Transformers of the same scale.

[Sea of sorrow]

I like it except for the cheap stickers it has. Please 4H paint the details of the vehicle, don´t use stickers. I don´t see vehicles of Star Wars with stickers.

If you look carefully the photos you may notice that those are NOT stickers. The colored panels are actually painted.

That vehicle is beautiful and I hope it will se the light beyond the prototype phase.

Nice work 4H.

As always, comparisons with retail lines won't work. The production run for any MOTUC (other than at Toys R Us) is limited, and that's why the price will be higher.

I'm not a fan of vehicles. Sadly when thery announced vehicles at the panel i knew that I once they are added to the subscription that I would no longer purchase it.

[Hoffrod]

Actually, there are many factors. 1) This thing is huge! It is twice again the size of the original. 2) As stated, this line is limited on retail to a specific fandom. There are a lot of MOTU/DC two packs on the shelves at TRU right now. 3) The production price point of ANY molded item is at an all-time high. Remember that all plastics still come from petroleum and production costs are leveling up even overseas.

Anyone else notice that the details originally from the stickers are now fully sculpted on? Even the more organic art on the sides was crafted in 3D sculpt!

[Haradrel]

Mattel, this is me letting you know- I want it.

I'm chiming in as well.

Can't we just get a petition or something going, get a few thousand signatures and send it to them? Shouldn't be to hard.

[andrantos]

I'm not entirely interested in the vehicles - then again, I wasn't really interested in the army builder 2 packs until I saw what Mattel/4H actually did (I am now considering purchasing 2 of the army builder packs now).

I honestly would prefer more dioramic pieces. Something more substantial than the stands but something that could be had for less than 20-25 bucks. Granted, I guess you could say vehicles are dioramic.

[RavenousPuma]

I never liked the vehicles in MOTU.....until I saw the 4H prototype. Fantastic.

I can't recall would the subscription cover vehicles in the same slot as large creatures or would they be excluded?

They won't be part of the sub.

You are wright, has no stickers

[bskcase]

The battle ram could be done and I think the prince wouldn't be so bad. As worst, maybe $50 tops. I'm hoping for something in the $30 - $40 range. The Battle Ram doesn't need much. We don't need a shooting part. The red cannon can just be part of the vehicle.

Basic wheel assembly and we good. I would have loved if the 4H stuck a He-man figure on the Battle Ram just see what he would look like riding it.

Again, if the Battle Ram gets made, we'll have an opening for more vehicles. The Wind Raider would be about the same. I can't imagine a Roton costing more than a Battle Ram.

[LuckyDearly]

wow! just when you think you've seen it all we get a suprise like this.

I hope we will see more vehicles such as Attack Trak, Landshark, Wind Raider, and Talon Fighter with Point Dread

[StaticX999]

Has anyone bigger and better pics of this beauty?

i have better pics, just need to upload them on my computer, i was talking to Jim, one of the four horsemen he had it out at another booth, it comes apart just like the old style to make the jetsled, really awesome.

I can't wait to see them. Did you happen to get anymore info that has already been mentioned?

[PaTrIcKfOgArTy]

This line is really has the powerrrrrrr (sorry )

I NEVER have bought vehicles, I skipped them all in 200x but the sight of this totally reminded me of my childhood adventures in the woods (Eternia's forest), the sandbox (Eternia's desert) and the tub (Eternia's ocean). All of which featured appearances by the jet.

I'm now reduced to being 32 and hearing myself say as I did when I was little "Awww, I want one! Please can I have one of those?!?!"

[Kevenn]

It's VERY awesome! It was the first vehicle I owned in the MOTU vintage line. I love the engines on the back of the Sky Sled. I love the hanles and the standing platform on the back. That said, I won't pay more than $40 for it. I'm already buying a lot for this line, and display space is also at a premium as well. If it's too expensive, I will pass.

[RocketPunch]

We don't need a shooting part. The red cannon can just be part of the vehicle.

I disagree. Without the missile launcher the Battle Ram would just be a solid hunk of plastic with wheels that doesn't really do anything.

If that happens, i'd rather they didn't bother with the back section at all and just sell the front Sky Sled part on it's own.

[Pugno di Tuono]

Mattel! Give my the Battle Ram!

Or Two!

Or 3!

[Berserker79]

This vehicle is perfect!
