Sdcc exclusives announced - Vykron and Hot Wheels VW Bug

[jdscissorhands]

Well... it's certainly an item that has a 30th Anniversary significance... but eh, I'm totally not excited about this exclusive at all!

Wouldn't Oo-lar have had more 30th Anniversary significance? At least he was featured in the first mini-comic...

This concept guys are pretty boring and don't have any nostalgic appeal to me.

It's even more frustrating when knowing that Mattel has access to the Filmation library. A blue Hordak with Imp and several arms attachments would have been cooler...

[king.of.grayskull]

I'm not excited! Tooling budget for nothing!

I'm glad they are not part of the sub.

Why! I was expecting a Figure that bring new people to the line! Something that really celebrates the 30th? No!

That's to obscure, even for a exclusive figure!

But i'm happy for all the people how are excited!

[zodak74]

I love 'em! I really wanted King Miro as the exclusive this year (because every exclusive has had blood or power ties to He-Man himself, and it would be nice to complete the Royal Family in 2012... plus I just wanted to be right in regards to our guesses for the exclusive this year... LOL)... but- we're getting what I consider to be 3 new figures in one release! These guys just look like plain ol' FUN to me Though I guess all three of them are supposed to be "Vykron", I'll probably use that name for the barbarian and come up with something else for the other guys (wasn't "Tank Top" a concept name that was thrown around once?). I'm totally down for 3 separate sets. I especially like we're getting the Boba Fett-ish one, as I see him as being a precursor to Zodac
I wonder if they will reuse the gloves with the iron cross symbol for a 2002-styled Prince Adam?

[lemure77]

I would have happily shelled out $50.00 before shipping or even $60 for a modulock multi bot pack, This set? not even for 20. easy pass and the giant eye ball would have been better

[Hordaiquiri]

Meh.

Happy for those of you who want them, though!

I think I may pick up a set and use the Tank-Guy version as a new Galactic Guardian.

However, honestly, the Dana figure and possibly Death herself excites me more.

Hang on a moment...

*BAWLING* MATTEL Y U NO GIV MEH MAH MODULOK?!?!?!?

*ahem*

Carry on.

You said Boba Fetish.

[vancak]

I have no interest at all. It's the first SDCC MotUC exclusive that isn't worth getting for me. Too bad they didn't make the Star Sisters a SDCC exclusive, would've saved me $72.

[Tallstar]

From the original 80's prototype I'm guessing. Because as I said, to me he looks nothing like the prototype....

The prototype has bare calves, and has shoes on.

Yup. The prototype Vykron/Barbarian > the MOTUC figure. I was looking forward to 'real' fur and that angular flat-cheeks-and-nose face with the black slits for eyes. (closed) Oh well. I'm still interested in getting one set. Tank-Top looks the best, with some parts on the other two being decent. I was expecting more, I suppose.

[Prahvus]

This is an underwhelming item I won't buy. Mighty Spector level factor (and I don't like Mighty Spector)... Enough said, I guess. The "clip on" pieces look odd, and hold the promise of more QC issues. The military version got me puking... yeah, it is THAT bad, I think. The Bobba Fett diaper is craptastic. And the barbarian's "pots and pans" helmet is another piece I won't be missing.

[Pixel Dan]

I'm so stoked for these! Now we can have these on the shelf along with Vikor and Demo-Man. So now we'll have both the Roger Sweet and Mark Taylor prototypes....the two things that started MOTU!

[jhoward]

Really, really stoked for these. Exactly what I hoped it would be.

[MegaGearMax]

Well...I'd get a Vykron for the barbarian...otherwise, meh.

[melmoth666]

I agree 100%, I think these are great. The perfect SDCC exclusive.

[SGT. ROCK]

Move over Molar.
I'm disappointed with this choice, especially with so much great cannon still to choose from.
Decisions like this, and how the 30th figs are shaping up, really make me think we should see the entire sub line up for next year before it goes on sale.

[NorthCoast]

I can't understand you guys thinking the tank looks the best. Why would Eternia have a tank guy decorated like American military equipment?

Now I'm ticked off that someone even pulled this garbage out of the vault.

[Alec77]

Sadly the first SDCC-Exclusive in years that I'm gonna skip.

[MILK-MAN]

This has me in tears of laughter!!!!!!

[gbagok]

AWESOME!!!!

I admit that I would have liked the cloak to be longer on the barbarian guy, and the crotch piece on the Bobafett-y guy to look a lot less like a metal diaper (and I thought He-Ro's was bad!). But still, I am very down for this kind of exclusive. I really hope I can get enough to display all three.

Also, so is the tank guy going to be called Tank Top? That's such a perfect name for him. Are they all a character called Vykron who just has three different outfits? I think I'd rather view them as three different guys. Tank Top, Ottoman (barbarian), and Vykron (cyber-guy).

Finally, can they get Gurerro out this year?

[Replikor]

I'm so stoked for these! Now we can have these on the shelf along with Vikor and Demo-Man. So now we'll have both the Roger Sweet and Mark Taylor prototypes....the two things that started MOTU!

I agree 100%!!! I think these will make a great addition to the collection and they make for a perfect SDCC release.

[MOTU_Maniac]

I admit that I don't know much about Vykron, BUT I actually think they are pretty cool!

I am, however, upset that they made Dana as Zuul as a Ghostbusters exclusive

[Zodach]

I loved Vikor and Demo-Man from the day they were revealed, but these guys just don't excite me all that much. Maybe they'll grow on me once we find out more about them from the bio.

[Alexx]

OMG AWESOME!! I've loved this idea since Emiliano drew up the concept! Only complaint I could have is that I wish these were three separate guys, but I've got some leftover bodies to use, so I'm good.

This is seriously awesome. Vikor and Demo-Man are two of my favorites, not only because they're awesome, but I'm a sucker for concept figures. This is just fantastic. So glad they are making these, even if I gotta switch out the armor. I'll enjoy making up some new bios for these guys!! (OMG I just realized I could use the extra Faker I have with those tank parts to make a sort of robot! I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS; ALL CAPS EXPRESSES MY EXCESSIVE JOY.)

[Prahvus]

Yeah, these are all just one character (Vykron) with 3 different "clip on" outfits ("craptastic fashion", anyone ?). The "clip on" parts are not a fortunate choice or a success, aesthetically speaking.
