Frosta, Rattlor & Cy-Chop arrival thread

Scorpia... BCR... 3...2... 1.... FIGHT!!!!

I don't remember Frosta ever using a wand, then again, I don't even remember seeing Frosta much in the cartoon. They didn't like her in France it seems and never showed her much on TV!

NOOOOO !!!

Lol love the NOOOO gifs.

To be fair, Rattlor's paint seems VERY, VERY, VERY solid.

I got my Frosta today and I think she is stunning. I swapped the arms at the elbow and fiddled with it over an hour and my fingers still hurt from it three hours later.

Love it! My fingers still hurt this morning! I should probably take Matty to court!

But my Frosta is awesome now! If only she didnt have those annoying white hip joints and half of her dress unpainted! She is still a great figure though and I think a lot of people will be super pleased to see her arrive at their home. She is one of these figures photos dont do justice. Much better in hand!

**Mern-Ra** · October 16, 2012, 01:10pm

I can't tell you how excited I am for both of these figures! My second Frosta went to oulala as payment for The Sword Of Power letter opener he got for me at SDCC and he came over tonight and we swapped Frostas forearms an OULLA HAS THE POWER because the pegs on mine were SO stubborn but he would not give up and thanks to him she is now awesome and ready to go!

**baron ironblood** · October 16, 2012, 03:48pm

i like cy-chop a great deal more than i thought i would. he doesn't look as much like random parts in person, and the giant scissors are too much fun.

my girlfriend keeps calling him "side-chop" just to drive me crazy...

**JonWes** · October 16, 2012, 04:47pm

Cool pic! I actually like him even better with just one scissor hand. I think I might display him that way too.

**Howlor** · October 16, 2012, 05:20pm

Got my subs and Frosta's arms are now fixed! I actually like Cy-Chop less than when I first saw him, but I opened him anyway so I could just mix and match spare parts to make a random background Hordesman.

AWESOME pics!! I love how Frosta just handed Rattlor his bum lol!

**oICEMANo** · October 16, 2012, 06:08pm

Any loosey goosey Cy-Chop legs?

**DrPAYNE** · October 16, 2012, 06:27pm

I just got my Rattlor and Frosta. I love Rattlor, his paint job is awesome! I was prepared to do a forearm swap on Frosta right away, but I can't even tell if they're backwards or not, they look fine to me. My only nitpick is I wish the white on Frosta was actually white! I might have to do something about that.

edit* Nevermind, I just swapped Frosta's forearms and they do look better now. It was very easy too!

**Brian Ozone** · October 16, 2012, 06:52pm

I remember frostas wand in the toon as well

I wonder if it's because some whites actually turn yellow after skin oil mixes with it. If this "gray" holds up over the long run, then I m OK with that.

**Dark Sorceress** · October 16, 2012, 07:06pm

i got my 3
Rattlor, he's cool
Cy-Chop, one of the pins on his hand is not in all the way so it's already falling off but i can fix that. hate him
Frosta, old dog face is just as ugly in hand as she was in pix.

I challenge you to, my friend - because she doesn't.

Her appearances are listed on my website if you want to know which episodes to check.

Either you dreamed it or you're thinking of the style guide.

Got my stuff just a few hours ago- everything this month arrived in perfect tip top shape. I'm not even sure if my Frosta's arms are incorrect or not- if they are, they aren't noticeable to me at all (unlike Stinkor). I think she looks great from top to bottom- I know I'd prefer the white to be whiter, but honestly- I don't think she looks bad AT ALL as is. In fact, I might even go as far to say she's the best female figure they've done to date! Or at least she's my new favorite. Rattlor finally gains some of my respect. Always a least-liked figure/character in any previous MOTU incarnation, I'm shocked at how cool the MOTUC figure looks in hand. Definitely my favorite of the Snake Men so far. Cy-Chop is really really cool. I wasn't a big fan of Horde Prime, but now that I have Cy-Chop... the look of the "new" techno-y Evil Horde is coming together for me- now it's a nice balance to the more organic-looking folks like Grizzlor, Catra, and Leech. For a while Horde Prime just looked too out of place on the shelf with the others. Haven't received Weapons Pak 3 yet, but looking forward to arming up HP with the staff, etc. I hope with the next Pak we get the Cy-Chop belt in different colors with matching armbands so you can "Horde Up" other figures. I also am hoping the "make-up gift" for the defective Frostas is an accessory made just for her. I would love an ice sword or some sort of "ice blast" effect... maybe something that's big enough to fit around a good part of her gloved arm... to cover up Mattel's blunder? An ice blast and the shield, and you would never know her gloves are switched. Though like I said, I'm looking at mine and they don't look abnormal to me.

Yeah I thought it was funny how Frosta could really take out Rattlor with her dream catcher stick or blueberry sucker wand.

**BlueStreak** · October 16, 2012, 09:34pm

Frosta looks great in person. I swapped her arms in about 5 minutes using the boil and pop method - pulled the biceps off at the shoulder and swapped the hands. It's easy - just take your time.

I am very disappointed in her paint though. Here hair needs to be lighter. I'll probably touch that up. The "white" on her gloves, skirt and boots flat out look gray. I'm not sure what I can do about that, but I really wish it was brighter.

Rattlor - great figure all around. First thing I did was add his 200x armor. It's a little loose - I need to make the bottom straps that go around the waist a bit shorter.

The one nitpick I have on both figures - neither has good articulation below the knee. The absence of the calf/boot articulation point limits some of the posing options.

Aside from that one nitpick, both of these are great figures.

Thank you!!! And yeah, DON'T MESS with The Great Rebellion!!!!

**kylun flac** · October 16, 2012, 09:57pm

Frostra has a sculpted bum. Thats fantastic news.

Would love to see a Teela 2.0 in the future.

Great pics of a battle in the 'home environment"!

I like Rattlor hiding behind the couch.

Cool pic! I too will likely only be using one scissor hand. Two giant scissors is a bit much.

**Keldor5579** · October 16, 2012, 10:14pm

I plan on removing her hair and prime and painting it like the prototype was. I hate her hair.
