Shadow Weaver, Sorercess, & Fisto arrival thread

[NorthCoast]

I see Fisto is a seafood fan! Nice pics, I think that is how I will deck him out. All the frills, but the big sword on his back.

Nice. I like that idea.

Your pics of the Sorceress make me feel a little better, but Mattel still royally screwed up her cape and arms. That was exactly why we never saw Toyguru move her arms forward in the videos.

At least we can still get some enjoyment out of her apparently.

Sucks your Shadow Weaver didn't come with a stand either.

I can't wait for my figures to arrive Thursday.

How close in color is Sorceress to any figure that has the old style legs? May just swap them out.

Or. . . "Dear,if you are trying to look sexy with your new hair and tiny outfit, you really should go back to using facial cleanser and that subtle but effective make-up you use to wear. You looked so much more attractive back at the palace."

Crud... Why can't Mattel seem to get the hair/helmet piece onto the head in the right spot, right?
Sorceress' headdress seems to be floating a little too high in some of these pics.
It's gotta be a factory thing. I just wish it was caught in the revisions more.

Maybe they've been reading your posts.

Yeah, so don't make a critique of shoddy business practices, or they will treat you even worse. Excellent way to instil consumer loyalty and confidence.

Maybe in a movie year my figures will ship.

When your figures finally come in, feel free to post in the montly Figure Condition Poll for February, it's up

So happy today to get three of my biggest wants in the line and all three figures are perfect no problems with anything.

Took the words out of my mouth :-(

Comparing my Sorceress to SCB's, the hood on mine is a tad higher. But it really doesn't look bad at all in person, photos are two dimensional and don't always do a figure justice. Her hood is still at or below where the natural hairline of a woman would be, if it was higher then there would be an issue. My only issue with Sorceress are the drums, they just affect to much of the arm movement, and are visually an eyesore.

Got mine as well. Best lot of figures I ever got from Matty in one shipment.

Friggin AWESOME figures!

I get your Photo caution, I often say the same. But these photos from a variety of angles have made it obvious.

I'm gonna go a little Eamon on you here as he's bothered by how people put Battle Cat's Helmet on... It's the same thing here only worse as it was put together incorrectly in the factory and glued that way!

Whether or not someone thinks it looks fine is an opinion and we're all free to our opinions. I respect that.

But the assembly here is in error regardless opinion. The best marker to look at would be where the bottom of the birds beak lines up with her eyebrows.

Not all of the Sorceress figures have suffered from this, much like not all the He-Man figures had "wig" issues.

It is what it is. *shrugs* I hope my Sorceress arrives today or tomorrow, I'll be anxious to see how bad it is or not. If it is bad, I'm sure I can fix it.

My wife just called and said I had 3 packages delivered this morning! That should be my sub, photog and Panthor, and 2 Sorcoress' for a friend of mine! I am so excited! I'm going home on my lunch hour!

[slackrguy]

I'm still waiting, but that's fine because this month rather than going from

NV-CA-NV-UT-WY-NE-KS-MO...... Newgistics shipping has gone
NV-CA-NV-UT-CO-KS-MO

I know it seems simple, but going straight through one state to get to KS instead of gng north and through two states to get to KS is a big deal for me. It shaves a day or two off of the delivery time.

[hlinhk128]

Mine must be getting close. Photog should arrive today but the bundle package lists it as 2 packages. They just went from CA to NV to IN and should be hitting Chicago soon!!!

They really look so good - I hope mine make it before the end of March. Is it me or does Battleground Teela's face look older than her Mothers?

The paint of her face sucks. She looks old and bored. I think it's the same face as the original Teela? Just painted poorly.

I'd say so with all of the stuff Teela has had to endure -- The Sorceress is really her mom and she told her just before she died, her carefree best friend was really He-Man all along, her father was transformed into a Snake Man, Hordak returned, Skeletor took over the kingdom, her King was sent to Despondos and her friends are hiding underground as fugitives. LOL!

But seriously, I wish Mattel had painted Blonde Bikini Teela's face like normal Teela's face, instead of casting it in plastic. "Butterface", as Alessandra puts it.

[SCB]

In my cannon ™ BG Teela is actually grandmother to the current Sorceress and former female He-Man, brought back from the past by Vikor. So she's Teela's great great, maybe great grandmother, which is why she looks older.

I just got mine today and --for all the QC issues we had with some of the figs last year, I gotta say Fisto, SW, and Sorceress are like a loveletter to the fans.

Fisto, IMO, is one of the best figures so far--tons of extras, tight joints, nice paint aps---the only problem I have with him, is that there are too many ways to pose him---I really can't put him down.

My Sorceress has one darkly outlined eye so she looks a little Clockwork Orange, but otherwise she is a fantastic figure--the drums which were a major concern for me, are really no hassle at all.

Shadowweaver--Again--awesome. I can't complain about anything here.

My Photog's yellow paint is a little "discoloured" but otherwise, even this yellow terror works for me.

Thank you Mattel! if you can keep quality like this up for the next several years, I think the line will be in good shape.
