    He's a really great figure. I think his bio provides plenty of reasons why the accessories they weren't able to supply with him might be packaged with Granamyr. There's the narrative connection, and it would perhaps help to boost Granamyr's sales (which will probably need it).

    Woo,nice review! Figure looks pretty darn cool. One i'm very excited for. Does anyone else wish that he was given feet like Clawful or Whiplash instead? I feel red skinned version of those would complete his look better than the Hordak boots. What are your thoughts?

    As always amazing sculpt but as far as I'm concerned it doesn't fit with the MOTU universe and ... a dragon?
    IMO it doesn't seem to be so original... it's just an anthropomorphic dragon like Snout Spout it's just a anthropomorphic elephant.
    It's not like Mosquitor or Mer-Man that are inspired from something existing but re-invented.
    Sorry guys but these new guys (Draego along with Spector and Laser) don't hit me where it hurts. For example I'm not a 200x fans but Keldor was stunnin'!
    BTW thank you so much, 4 Horsemen, for everythin' you've done for MOTUC line!

    WOOOOWWW !

    I was SO impatient to see Draego-Man's preview ! And man, does he ROCK !

    Draego-Man joins the small club of my favorite figures, and this is even before I have him between my hands !

    I'm happy he doesn't seem to suffer from QC issues (but we'll have to wait until fans get their figures, 'cause we don't want to speak too quickly, here...).

    Draego-Man is a must have IMO, and he fits in just right with the other MOTUC characters !

    The question is now to see if he'll actually become my favorite figure...

    Thank you, Four Horsemen ! And thank you, Pixel Dan !


    P.S. : the only bad point to me this time around, is the very late preview. I wish Mattel would send the samples a bit earlier...

    P.P.S. : I'm now waiting for other cool and future 2012 previews like Stinkor, Slush Head, Spikor and the Snakemen Warriors army builder. More MOTUC goodness for the next few months...

    The bar has been raised.

    Really, in a year full of extremely strong characters and fantastic sculpts, Draego-Man is the star. I hope we see his shield and whip sometime soon.

    Thanks for the review!

    Awesome review. I can't help but wonder what Clawful's head looks like on him.
    My most wanted figures:
    1) Masque
    2) Horde Trooper(s)
    3) Mantenna

    The main reason why I won't get him is because he makes all the others look boring.

    Your kudos PD, re: FH, are my exact sentiments - totally deserved/warranted in having a figure in the Classics line... and man, what a figure!

    I didn't pick up the 30th sub so i'll be trying my luck on Matty. This is the first time since '10 that i'm worrying i won't get a Classics figure haha.

    Can't wait for a review of "the stink"!!!
    Fortunately the smell from Moss Man has dissipated over the last couple of years so it won't meld into that funk the original toys made if you stored them in the same toy box

    He really seems to be the best figure in the line so far, and I don't even have my own in hand yet... seriously wish ALL the 30th anniversary characters were original 4H designs- because this guy makes Spector and Laser-Lot look absolutely ridiculous!!! Well, not only because of that, but because the 4H really have their fingers on the pulse of MOTU- and having 6 all-new 4H-created figures would have REALLY been a proper 30th anniversary celebration of the toyline!

    I know this is a little off topic but what about the Yellow Lion and Hunk? I have been checking the voltron thread over at Matty.

    As always, great reviews you sold me on buying a second Thunder Punch He-man. I already planned on getting an extra Draego-Man (awesome figure). I am surprised Mattel didn't but the $30 price tag on him.

    Even though I think Photog looks bad, it was this figure that made me get the Ann Sub. Thanks alot Dreago! Now i'm stuck with Photog, Spector and Laserlot because of you!!!
    Luckily you are really awesome looking and looks are all that matters.

    THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU!!! For showing the figure in the tray with the bubble removed!! Its the one Image I always love to see in reviews!!

    also just wondering, but with the scale pattern on the back of the wings...will that preclude them from being reused for the Bat Guy from MYP?

    aj
    I may just be a Gay Pop fan...but I am also the one who wants ALL of the Figures, who wants this line to continue and who is putting my money where my mouth is....are you doing the same?

    Now this is what the 30th Anniversary is all about!! Introducing EXCITING and new original figures, not uninteresting childish designs that were meant for other universes originally. The 4H know the Motu Universe and what to deliver in terms of a owgreat character design. Draego-Man will be the best figure out of this sub line without a doubt.

    Great review by Pixel Dan! Thanks for the detailed pics on him, looks incredible!

    Hoping his shield will come packed with Granymyr as a bonus.

    aj
    Bat Guy=Lord Dactys....& I think they could be reused for him. LD's color scheme is dark enough to where it may not be as noticeable as w/ DM. Makes you wonder how great LD will be now. And yes HOLY COW this figure done by the 4H is above top shelf material. Simply out of this world. A job well done and by far the best 30th figure of the year. Heck best figure of the year. Wait...best figure in this Classics line possibly. If not he's up there. To the 4H...cheers.

    I could defiantly see that along with the whip and perhaps some other stuff. After all, a dragon must include his treasure!!

    Well, just adding more of the same stuff to this thread: first of all, thanks a lot Pixel Dan for some great reviews! I agree with you, and I would like to state it here: the Four Horsemen deserve this and I'd like to thank them for all the awesomeness they brought it! As for Draego-Man: mind-freaking-blowing. I could easily add 100 more superlatives. This puppy is gonna rule the shelves!

    Well Dan, you've convinced me to buy a Draego, maybe even two!

    I'm still a little disappointed in the rounded version of the sword, I think I would have preferred the normal blade. I really hope we can get all the other weapons at some point.

    I thought exactly the same at first but I don't think it will, plus TG already pretty much said they were going to reuse them for him, and sooner rather then later IMO I'm really looking foeward to Dactys, even more so now
