Official Laser Light He-Man/Skeletor Speculation and Discussion Thread

[MrRoboto]

I think after TP He-Man and possibly DB or TC Skeletor, i really don't want any more of their variants. I'd rather see other characters in those slots. So for me, i say no thanks but i'm happy for those who want them.

[tumalu]

I want them now and with full lights!
But don't they dare to throw us that no-international-shipping-because-of-electronics bull$h!t again!!

[Arkangel]

good morning everyone!

List updated, thank you all for the support so far!

[Canada-Man]

Yes to the figures and design, no to the electronic light up feature

[Invicta]

If it has electronics, it won't ship internationally unless something changes.

So it would be US only item(s). Also not part of next year's subscription at a higher price point unless it replaces a monster or such?

[lorde trooper]

Would rather these 2 guys sooner then later, they are a little bit like Tytus and Megator, never owned the originals so i want them very soon.

[Skystalker]

Definitely want them, but I think that Toyguru said there would be no light-up action feature already.

[krosfyah]

not too fussed about them, I'd rather they were the sub exclusives than shadow weaver. (not because I dislike shadow weaver, but because I feel it's unfair to make a stand alone non variant character the sub exclusive, esp since they said it never would be that.)

I edited my original post since I forgot to weigh in on the action feature. I say "no" to the lights, yes to the figures.

[RocketPunch]

Yes, they are a must have for me.

They are two of the hardest to find vintage figures, and they were the final figures to be released in the 80s line, plus they help connect the look of the vintage He-Man and Skeletor to their New Adventures designs.

They've got to have some sort of light-up action feature though, even if it's just light piped instead of battery powered.

I'm sure I'd get them but I'd rather see Dragon Blaster Skeletor (who after seeing Thunder Punch He-Man I'm certain is coming), followed by Terror Claws Skeletor and Flying Fists He-Man before I saw these guys

Alright, just moved you

I'm sure I'd get them but I'd rather see Dragon Blaster Skeletor (who after seeing Thunder Punch He-Man I'm certain is coming), followed by Terror Claws Skeletor and Flying Fists He-Man before I saw these guys

But will you definitely buy them?

[Scotward]

I want them... they're my most desired He-Man/Skelly variants for sure, and surprisingly high on my overall list of wants as well.

Put me in the no action feature column please!

[Arkangel]

done! awesome avatar btw

[Scotward]

done! awesome avatar btw

Thanks!

[krosfyah]

Instead of LEDs why not a Glow in the dark feature for the parts that light up??

[Baena]

I like the Laser variants.
I'd like them after we get a good Dragon Blaster Skeletor.

I'm a little torn as to whether or not I want the Laser variants before or after the NA Variants...

[Arkangel]

i would even be glad to know these would be sub exclusives. I want LL skeletor to have max detail and uniqueness.

Trapjaw an Kronis were very compatible. LL and NA Skeletor can be as well, just imagine these sharing parts and coming in the same package!

My only issue with this are LL skeletor's leg's, they are massive and differ a lot from NA.

[dark knight]

be honest guys, you want this kinda Light in your collection!

yes i doooo so badly!! i used to dont like the skeletor laser light but once i got it on my collection become my most loved one!!!
i want him with light!!!!

[Stefan81]

I love the laser light feature!

[H.A.L.9000]

Figures...YES!!
action features.... HELLS NO!!!

[kylun flac]

not interested.
i would however like a n/a skeletor

[Arkangel]

not interested.
i would however like a n/a skeletor

like i said previously, NA\LL Skeletor could be the same genre of Trap-Jaw\Kronis

[Romer]

I honestly don't care about either, and I won't be getting them when/if they make them.

[Baena]

I could almost see that...

Looking at the two together now... There are some clear similarities, but a fair amount of differences too. A hooded head vs. the Helmet. The lower legs are very different. And then the color schemes are different. So just swapping out parts alone? I don't know if that would cut it. The only way I think I logically see them working is to really play off the laser features with LEDs. I would love to see that in these figures, and think they could pull it off without compromising the sculpts.

Yeah, having thought it through again, I think I'd want the two to remain two different variant figures.
And still feel that the two would work in Classics beautifully.

Parts that could be shared between the two... Capes, upper legs, upper arms, hands possibly, feet possibly, and torsos.

Differing parts would be heads, lower arms, lower legs, armor, weapons.

I could be missing some things but that's the gist of it.

Still would love to see these variants. Clearly I'm sure they'd pull the whole techno-virus thing into the bios, I'm good with that, it's a good explanation of why Skeletor goes from a Sword n' Sorcery figure of death, to a Sci-fi figure of death.
