The thing I loved most about this weekend was getting to experience the passion of the fans. But I don't think that passion for something is inherently good. To me, passion should always be tempered with reason otherwise it's easy to let it lead you down some regretful paths if you're not careful. I'm not sure some of the conclusions being jumped to here were entirely reasonable. Understandable? Yes, I think so. Reasonable? Personally, I don't think so.
At this point, I must refer to one of my favorite Doctor Who quotes:
" I love humans. They always see patterns in things that aren't there."
It's a 100% newly tooled piece (and would have been anyway) that really is more like an articulation point than an action feature. It doesn't involve any internal mechanisms or springs or complex engineering. It's basically just a tube sliding through a slot (and AWESOME.)
Tallstar is getting the exact same treatment that Extendar probably will. And about Jewelstar - do people really want her to fold up? In the proposed toy, she did not in any way look like a jewel to me. She looked exactly like a figure half-way to a fetal position.
If it is possible to make them glowing in the dark, please make it green glowing and not white as on BGELs power ball.
GITD is very cool, but when in normal daylight a green colour would be very cool, like it is shown on the drawing. If only white is possible I'd rather have it green and not glowing than white and glowing!
If not glowing a bit translucent would be nice.
Anyway, I love the Mighty Spector already!
Dear TG, just would like to point out again, from what I have seen from the great videos of PD that you, the MOTU team and the FH put a lot of thought into the line and that I am really looking forward to all 2012 and also very much to The Mighty Spector. It's great to have new MOTU stuff coming besides the classic legendary characters.
Thank you for listening to us fans and take some of the "agressive" comments with a grain of salt. You really came off great in the walkthrough video again like at SDCC.
Please continue the great work and please try not to take some comments too personally. We are all very passionate about this line and of course with the many we are, everybody has her/his own opinion of what is the best for each character.
Good not all of us work on it, otherwise we would still discuss Deco-changes on He-Man and Beast Man from 2008 without having a new figure coming.
In general I am very pleased with the job you have done so far!
I hope something like He-Man's, Roboto's and King Hssss' shoulder thingy does not repeat itself in the future.

This is still on topic though. Discussion of the figures shown off and such.
That's fanart by JonWes, poking fun at the whole Illumina vs Spector thing. If Toyguru ever decided to make that relationship official on his bio, I just might throw up.
