Usually one or two weeks the Monday after SDCC.

I like the style of package but I would prefer it if it had been about 2/3's the size. I'm running out of space as it is!

**Rhanen** · April 30, 2012, 03:02pm

This video looks like a rush up PR try to reconcile with the fans.
Not sold on the figure, even less with such huge pointless packaging

**Berserker79** · April 30, 2012, 03:05pm

Nice video but I still won't buy it...

Spikor looks awesome...

He says in the video - 1 to 3 weeks after comic con.

The video is pretty cool and does a good job showcasing the set. But I still just can't feel anything but indifference toward this one.

I don't dislike the figure, but it's just not for me.

**Tallstar** · April 30, 2012, 03:11pm

So are they gonna do a Vykron Barbarian SDCC statue?

**Orko's Magic Hat** · April 30, 2012, 03:14pm

He still looks awesome - I love the packaging. Nice to see Spikor there too......

**cayman shen** · April 30, 2012, 03:14pm

It looks great in the package, and if I was a MOC collector, I'd be all over this like stink on poop. But like others have said, the fig itself doesn't fit as a loose display piece imo.

**Seril** · April 30, 2012, 03:14pm

Good video. Figure does look pretty cool with all his parts. Something about him still doesn't excite me much - maybe the colors? Not sure. Still a great SDCC idea and I'm already thinking about how to use up the extra parts he comes with. Snake Man-at-arms might just be repruposed as tank top... Not sure though. Will have to see how the colors look together.

HaHa. I was thinking Vikor.

**Jubilation** · April 30, 2012, 03:21pm

I like the packaging more than the figure. Cool that he did the video though for people that do like Vykron.

I love that TG points out the 'boots' are labelled L and R so you don't get confused, now if only that same principle would translate to the assembly in China.

**TrimmTrabb** · April 30, 2012, 03:40pm

Pretty cool. I'm actually a bit more excited about this guy, now.

**rhea** · April 30, 2012, 03:55pm

I wasn't sold on this figure until the video. I'm now really looking forward to him. I hope the extra armor pieces will fit on my extra mo-larr.

**Slave2Evil_Lyn** · April 30, 2012, 03:55pm

It was cool of Scott to do the video and show how Vykron works. Unfortunately I'm still not excited about this figure. I will most likely pick up one since I'll be at SDCC but I for sure don't need 3.

Did anyone else notice the TOD Sorceress Orb Stand on the table? Was it just me or did the bottom look a lot more blue than what was seen at PowerCon and Toy Fair. At TF is was a very light translucent blue on the bottom but in this video is was more of a royal blue.

**NorthCoast** · April 30, 2012, 03:58pm

Maybe TG has been reading the Steve Jobs bio.

See Reality Distortion Field

All in good fun folks!

**gbagok** · April 30, 2012, 04:02pm

I still like this exclusive, and I am sorry to see it's had such a bad reception online.

I really don't think the clip on parts look so good though and the barbarian needs a longer cape, but I appreciate this video and seeing Scott handling the toys. I admit that I'm glad this isn't a three pack because, as I found with the sisters, if just one of the three has a defect then it's a bigger pain to replace than if it were just a single figure. Plus maybe I can use a regular He-Man for the Tank Top version.

**Snake Hunter** · April 30, 2012, 04:08pm

Due to all the negativity TG has been forced to shoot this video, but the pack still looks cheap. Instead of clip on parts, I prefer interchangeable full boots.

He is very afraid to another epic fail like Mo-Larr set.

Im still tired of large package items, because the shipping costs also increases a lot. I hope the Matty versions come with a short package version.

**Replikor** · April 30, 2012, 04:10pm

I KNEW IT!!!

Star-o the Conqueror is in control of the MOTUC line and is trying to kill it off!!!

Look he is watching scott!

**Executioner** · April 30, 2012, 04:17pm

I'm REALLY happy that they have made figures out of these prototypes. I was really hoping for them, yet I'm disappointed with the execution. First I think it should have been 3 characters, not 1. And second, I think the Barbarian is cool, the Tank head is cool, but the 4H really failed on the astronaut guy. After a few days of living with it, I can get behind the new helmet and understand the design choice, but that diaper is just too much. It looks bad, real bad!!

**Lipster** · April 30, 2012, 04:30pm

I am not sure if I want 2 of these....

But the issue will be that the legs will be reversed to make him POP!

**Dark Sorceress** · April 30, 2012, 04:32pm

still say the boots only having 1 side is stupid
