Ironically, Spector Will Be Late To His Own Party This Month...

**VaultsofGrayskull** · May 2, 2012, 05:08pm

2012 has been delayed until 2013.

**Barbecue17** · May 2, 2012, 05:11pm

Tell you what, Mattel: Just send me the other two figures. I'll keep my $20 and you can keep Spector.

Deal? *spits in hand and reaches it out for a shake*

**CaptainMendoc** · May 2, 2012, 05:32pm

Just hope if DOS Spector performs as badly as we all expect TG won't justify it by claiming that people weren't buying him because of the delay.

**Darkkosis** · May 2, 2012, 05:41pm

Aagghhh, that also means my regular sub figures will be delayed as well. Spector, you better fix your cosmic key buddy!

**Crow** · May 2, 2012, 05:47pm

Every month there's a delay you say? Hmmmm, odd that I got my TP He-Man and Draego-Man on time in April. That puts a dent in their monthly late record!

**bianchi5** · May 2, 2012, 05:47pm

He should use a Delorean and not a small Cosmic Key!

**Executioner** · May 2, 2012, 05:48pm

A Time Traveller causing time delays?

If we didn't have reason to hate this figure before, it should now be solidified.

He can't even accomplish what he is supposed to do and on behalf of King Randor I hereby officially FIRE Spector from the MOTU universe.

**MegaGearMax** · May 2, 2012, 05:50pm

Gwildor would have been on time.

**Darth Daddy** · May 2, 2012, 05:53pm

Wow... of all the figures for this to happen to... wow, just, wow.

I can hear TG letting loose a deep exhale right now... poor guy. I wonder if he is still excited by Spector or if he is just ready for him to ship and then be done.

I was kinda hard on TG earlier in the year and now, especially after thinking about how hard he works and how beat up he's been the last few months, I feel for him. This can't be an easy job.

He carries him around in his pants ... 'nuff said

I wonder if his forearms got switched in the factory and TG didn't want to play the "we wanted to make him pop" card again.

So THIS is what the Mayans meant with their calendar?

Yea, Newgistics... I know Scott takes a LOT of crap, and this Newgistics is probably the cheapest way to go which is very appeasing to the bottom line... but Newgistics, coupled with the delay, is going to make these figures show up in June for me here in Pennsylvania. No doubt. They'll get here, I know... but it's a bit aggravating.

**Darth Daddy** · May 2, 2012, 06:09pm

Ha! Let's hope the joy is never lost... we all benefit from him spreading the MOTU joy. I'm dying to know who the delayed Aug. figure is...

**musclor** · May 2, 2012, 06:14pm

I'm actually looking forward to spector the most out of the three, so this is a bummer for me... Well, any delay is, but...

**Blaster** · May 2, 2012, 06:24pm

I can't believe the fortune I'm saving this month by letting them cancel my sub and not signing up for the 30th subscription. That Jimmy Falon thing BIGASSBUZZ posted is right on the money.

**Snake Hunter** · May 2, 2012, 06:24pm

We don´t have fault on the delays. Send the figures and send Spector anytime later!

**skeletom** · May 2, 2012, 06:32pm

...and so the figures I AM excited for are delayed as well...

**Red Trinity** · May 2, 2012, 06:49pm

That's ok, Matty. You can keep him.

**Eternian Poet** · May 2, 2012, 07:02pm

Is Spector's harness removeable?

**Replikor** · May 2, 2012, 07:20pm

I have to agree, there is WAY too much blame thrown on Scott.

Ppl seem to think he is evil incarnate or something whenever things go wrong an that he is PERSONALLY doing it all and responsible for all the problems... lol.

He is would have been in an office an got a call AFTER the fact letting him know.... just like the rest of us finding out online... all after the discovery that his figure will be running late.

**nato** · May 2, 2012, 07:26pm

Spector must have had something assembled on him backwards......that's got to be the delay. Can't fix the other characters when they have backwards shoulders or forearms, but they can delay shipments a week in order for Spector to be perfect!!!

**jibernish** · May 2, 2012, 07:59pm

I was holding out hope that before Stinkor shipped, Spector would use his powers to go back in time and make sure Stinkor was assembled correctly. But since he can't even make himself show up on time, I guess we're out of luck.

**The All American** · May 2, 2012, 08:23pm

Can TMS be moved to another month, presumably to December 2017, so he won't delay those also getting the the regular sub?

Mattel's definition of time to time: monthly.

Yeah, this is not fun.

Check Pixel Dan's site! His damage control on this is a small partial picture of Mosquitor's crotch.

Crotch shots?Oh dear, it's a slippery slope. Pretty soon he'll be the Perez of the MOTU world...
