Countdown to Draego-Man and Thunder Punch He-Man & the Mini Comic

[TheFallen]

This used to be a regular thread started by Staff of Ka. They were a great place to chat in the lead up to the sale of a particular figure and I figured I would start them up again. Hopefully there will not be any new issues like a QC issue or a delay issue that makes this thread redundant like it did for my Kobra Khan Countdown thread

There are some great figures coming up (and some not so great) and I am pretty excited and can't wait.

So this month we have the single Club Eternia figure: Thunder Punch He-Man & the first Mini Comic in MOTUC and the 30th Anniversary figure: Draego-Man. The subscribers get a night off unless they want to fight it out with the day of sale buyers for an extra figure. Good luck to all


This link will let you know the time of release.
Matty Sale Timezone - 12 noon ET

The countdown threads are for us all to talk about the excitement we feel in the lead up to the release of each figure, and a great place to be in the last few hours for moral support!

Countdown threads close as soon as the figure in Question is released On MattyCollector.com.

I can't wait for Thunder Punch He-Man. He is my most awaited figure of the year.

[Canada-Man]

I'm still awaiting demo-man, battleground evil lyn, sorceress, fisto, and weaver I am however really pumped for thunder punch he-man!!! draego man will be a welcome addition aswell!!!

[Son of Keldor]

can't wait for these figures to come out.

=)

[RockinHard]

Damn, Kobra Khan hasn't even been released yet . . .

I'm looking forward to both of them, though not as much as Khan, Stinkor, Slushhead, Griffin, Spikor, Snake Men 2-pack, and Frosta.

OH MAN this is gona be a dynamite release. TP He-Man, for me, is sorta the holy grail of my "never-hads." I always wanted 'em and I knew one kid who had him, but it wasn't a kid I met often. So TP He-Man was always out of my reach.

Then, since TP He-Man is quenching my nostalgia thirst, Draego-Man is there to quench my thirst for new things! Brand new and totally AWESOME.

I think this is my most anticipated release this year so far.

Thunderpunch is an awaited figure of mine, as was Sorceress, I'm not going to get Draego....at least not at the moment....but I still have another month to decide. I wasn't going to get Demo Man, got him loved him, wasn't going to get Fisto....got him, loved him....maybe Draego will come along to my house as well, assuming there isn't a re-release next month I want more.

I had BA He-Man, but TP was my most favorite and go to He-Man behind the original.

[JonWes]

TP He-man and Draego Man is going to make for an AWESOME month, indeed. I kind of want to get another flying stand like I have for Flipshot. It was crazy expensive (and meant for 12'' figures) but it looks great. I want to have Flipshot and Draego Man squaring off.

[Bonehead]

In b4 Matty announces that they're being delayed.

I'm looking forward to the mini-comic more than TP He-Man. He never was one of my favs. Draego-Man is a welcome addition and the only 30th figure I like so far.

[Akai]

I wasn't so sure about Draego Man at first but he looks really cool and I'm looking forward to adding him to Skeletor's ranks. The only reason I'm getting TP He-Man is because of the mini comic and I already have ideas in mind of his role in my little universe.

Tick tock tick tock

[MrRoboto]

Another month of great figures in DM & TPHM. I can't wait to see how Draego looks in person - pics are one thing but having him on hand and on display will be totally another! TPHM will be a great addition. He kinda feels underrated to me at the moment but again, once in hand, he'll be pretty cool.

[Shadow-Ra]

These 2 are my 1st ever pre-orders from CMDstore, I can't wait to get both of them, especially Draego-Man, he looks so awesome. Roll on Flying Fist He-Man

[Exinferis]

What's CMDstore? If it's a viable alternative to Matty for those of us in the UK can you please PM me with the details? Ta! Edit: Nevermind, just Googled it. Prices are way too high!

Otherwise, no interest in TP He-Man, but really wanting Draego-Man; he's so cool I'm getting frostbite!

[Benedict Judas Hel]

I will definitely purchase Draego-Man as I always have room for villains. Toilet Paper He-Man I will buy as well as he actually looks pretty good. Plus he's vintage and I got to keep to my roots...

[Barbecue17]

This will definitely be another month of nice figures. Yes, we haven't gotten Khan yet, but no reason to let that stop us from looking ahead!

[Squishy Duck Man]

Draego-Man is one of the best looking figures I've seen for this line. A new character, he's evil AND his bio truly "fits" with MOTU in my eyes. I eagerly await his availability and I'll have to brave the day-of-sale madness to get my hands on him...

I'm most looking forward to Draego-Man as he was probably my favorite reveal at SDCC and the best of the 30th line. I have a sub, so I won't have to brave the WSOD, but I might want a couple extras. Draego has some cool parts for customs.

Thunder Punch is not a variant I remember at all from the original line, but he has turned out really nice from what we've seen at toy fair. The vac metal detailing is super cool and I love the (dragon) punching blast effect. Sho-ryu-KEN!

[Uki]

I'm actually pretty stoked for both of these guys. I'm a big variant fan and one of the few geeks who've become quite enamored with the 30th Annuversary subline-so this is a banner sale for me.

Draego is wickedly awesome and I love what he's bringing to the table (I just wish I had more flight stands!).

TPHM is a great version of our hero and that minicomic is icing! (Of course, I've already read it, thanks to a pal here, but I'm going to be happy to have my own copy. Thanks, pal-you know who you are!)

I can't wait to read it to our Baby-due on the 23 of March!!!

[Madison Carter]

Looking forward to Draego-Man more so than TP He-Man; not that I'm against the figure, just never really was a huge variant/alternate costume guy. Still, both are welcome additions to the line. I know it's not a completely popular stance around here lately, but I really like that they're intro'ing completely new characters into the line. Even Spector and Laser-Lot, both of whom I've softened to as time has gone on.

[iron_pride]

I hated Thunder Punch He-Man when I was wee, but he looks so cool i can't wait to get him now!

[TheFallen]

not long to go now

[TUC138]

BTW, what about Pixel Dan's reviews for TP He-Man & DM ? Has he got the review samples yet ????????

[Shadow-Ra]

I can't wait for both of these and I finally don't have to deal with the white screen of death as I've pre ordered off another site. They both look amazing
