Thunder Punch He-Man and Draego Man Arrival Thread

SCB those blades are perfect!

Looks like...God of War?

I received both of my TP He-Man figures today and they both have the vac metal scratched off on the chest emblem in the same 2 spots. Anyone else have this problem? I'm wondering if it's going to be a waste of time to try and get replacements. Is there a new number to call for the US based digital river customer service?

**jibernish** · April 24, 2012, 10:35pm

For those of you who have Draego Man already, is his left shoulder ok? He-bro is reporting in another thread that his has 2 right shoulders (there is a picture and it looks wrong to me), and from the looks of every picture I've seen in this thread, the lowest point/scale of the left shoulder doesn't line up with the divet in the left bicept. It could just be the way the figures have been posed, with arms turning inward, but I'd like confirmation that everything is ok with this figure. I probably won't get mine for another week, thanks Cornerstone Logistics.

Honestly, I don't think that is scratched off. I've looked at both of mine, and I think that is just where the mold was cut from the frame. Think about when you buy a Gundam model kit (if you do) and you have all of the pieces attached to frames. My guess is that the vac metal is molded on a frame with multiples of the same piece, and that is where they were held on the frame from. As such, it makes sense that they were be blackened there. I bet every piece is black in those exact spots (well top, bottom, left side, right side).

TP He-Man's shield came with an added extra swipe of red airbrushed paint. Also mine has clusters of red dots on the interior right arm at the bicep. It looks like he's been taking steroids.

I guess when they rolled the QC dice this month, my batch ended up snake eyes.

That doesn't look like airbrushed paint, it looks like where the vac metal didn't take on a spot or something.

I really hope Mine arrive fine, I really hate this month to be a first to get bad figures, because it would make 2 in a row, with Stinkor next month, which was jacked up on purpose. I should be getting them tomorrow....I hope.

Mine has the vac metal missing in exactly the same spots. SCB's pics don't look like they are missing those spots.

The Shoulders were corrected for Draego-Man Scott said i since they are the King Hsss sholders, then Pixel Dan & the fwoosh confirmed the shoulders are corrected now. My Draego-Man also has correct shoulders.

My TP He-Man has those black marks on those 2 very same spots... I chose to keep mine and painted the black spots with a silver sharpie.

Seems like a problem across the board then...

I think I will add this issue to my solid color loincloth thread.

I may have to buy one of those....they look awesome with Draego!

**Stinkor's Gas** · April 25, 2012, 01:27am

Dreago-Man would be one of the best figures of the line.

Excepts mines a freaking bobblehead. And he has the loosest joints of all figures over the last year. Seriously disappointing!

This is true. Happens even on Masterpiece Transformers with vac metal parts. Bottom of He-Man's shields got a tiny mark that's identical aside from showing the red plastic beneath. I imagine all shields have this to some extent.

DRAGON MAAAAAAANNNN.....seriously though, awesome. Not as poseable as I was hoping, but I can't really fault him in anything. Too awesome-looking. Only thing I could ask for is an opening mouth, but beyond that this guy fills the hole of OMG DRAGON GUY pretty well. Would have loved this when I was a kid, and considering that I'm still a kid in my brain - I friggin' love this.

TP He-Man is of course awesome, though DAYNG that boy is white! You live in a cave for a bit and you lose ALL the tan, I guess. Funny, 'cause Wun-Dar is from an underground society and he still sports the tan. Oh well. Anyway, there's a little mark on his vac-metal harness, but that's to be expected. Just glad it's small. Otherwise, I both like the closed fist and lament not having an open hand. The holding hand is almost closed anyway, so I don't see why we couldn't just as well punch with that but....aw heck, I still love that big meaty ham comin' out of his wrist there. I just also wish I had the option to hold the sword in the right hand, since the shield if made for the left.

Bah, too many complaints! Main thing is that I love the weapons, the thunder effect, the harness, and the wonderful little cap accessory. And, like I said, the closed fist DOES add that extra OOMPH when he's just standing there, fist clenched and ready to disintegrate someone's teeth into the back of thier skull.

Love the picture of Skeletor discovering Draego-Man, Alexx. He`s such a happy villain now.

**Barbecue17** · April 25, 2012, 11:36am

I was playing around with my TP He-Man last night and noticed that he had some red paint smeared on his left wrist.

I can either try to get it off or pretend it is blood from someone he punched!

Still no Draego-Man, so a pox on everyone posting awesome pictures!

I hope mine arrives this week!

**Science Friction** · April 25, 2012, 11:39am

I got TP He-Man, Draego-Man, and Tri-Klops today. All my figures are pretty good as far as QC, although I did have to scrape a bit off red paint of TP He-Man's harness (on the vac metal part of course), but it came out good. I think TP He-Man will be my definitive He-Man now, I just love the look. Draego-Man, what a beast, I love how he looks with sunlight shining behind him. Now to read the mini-comic finally.

**NastyNate** · April 25, 2012, 01:22pm

My sub figures arrived (separately) today!! The wife just text me the good news and and I squeeled like a school girl when I read it.

I cant wait to get home from work today.

**He-Dad** · April 25, 2012, 01:42pm

Got a nice suprise today....my Draego-man and Orko arrived. No loose joints or QC problems on any of my figures today, they're perfect....and I'm hooked!

**JimPansen** · April 25, 2012, 02:18pm

@Alexx:LOL! Awesome

**TrimmTrabb** · April 25, 2012, 03:25pm

I'm sincerely blown away by Draego-Man. One of the best figures of the whole line, no doubt.

**Nemisythe** · April 25, 2012, 03:29pm

Well finally picked up mine from the PO and from looking at them there seems to be no real issue except for maybe slight (and I mean very slight) slips of silver off the H on the chest armor into the red. NOTHING I would raise fire and brimstone for...

(unfortunately I cannot upload the pic; I guess it's too big size of a file)

As for Draego-Man nothing wrong although in one of the clam shells, you cannot see his head and in another he actually rests well in the shell. I really hope there's nothing wrong with the shoulders as stated in prior posts...

**Hemotoggy** · April 25, 2012, 03:42pm

Got my figures today! TP He-Man is fantastic! Not real thrilled with variants in general, but this is one I played with when I was young, and it rocks!

Draego-Man is a big ole figure in a tiny box, he looks great! No QC issues with either!

**Eternian Poet** · April 25, 2012, 03:49pm

funny stuff Alexx

**Count Marzo** · April 25, 2012, 05:15pm

Finally got my Draego-Man and Thunder Punch He-Man today. They are awesome! I love getting MOTUC stuff every month!

I could see how they couldnt fit more stuff in Draego-Man's pack, but they definitely need to find a way to get us his fire shield and flame whip. I will continue to cry for these til they get these out!!
