A FREE figure!!??? Of all the rotten things to do!!
J/K…I'll take a free figure. Especially since I've fixed my Frosta and she's issue–free.
200X fan? Classic fan? What does that mean? I'm a MotU fan!!!
I know that I have a list forming in my mind already of figures I still don't have, hoping I get one of them (Teela, He-Ro, Tri-clops...). It WOULD be dirty of Matty to give us a figure from THIS year's sub, but there have been other years I didn't have one. Who knows? Heck, they have to have customer service stock of sub exclusives, what better way to get rid of them and keep their word about not making these figures "available".
Resigning myself to actually getting a figure I bought on Black Friday though.
bravo.
getting a free toy is great and all but people have right to have their contrary opinions and express them.
it was suggested by the brand manager that a free gift was coming. it was also suggested by the brand manager that it would be a recolored weapon or something like that. a free gift of a figure that the subscriber most likely already has? i was caught a bit off guard myself.
i just dropped off a mess of toys at toys-for-tots and i love gifting toys in general, so it's always easy for me to figure out what to do with extras. then again, i was hoping for something else.
hopefully it's he-man!
I can't believe some think it will be a new figure, lol. Gotta be He-man, Skelly, or original She-ra....possibly some other leftover stock mixed in. All this means is I have another figure to worry about selling. But it is free, sooo...thanks? :/

The very best free figure I could think of getting is a corrected King Hssss, Stinkor, or "new plastic head" Snout Spout.
But of course, I'm happy with whatever. Mo-Larr, Skeletor, TMS, whatever.

Iīm excited!
Getting a surprise gift is great!!!!!!!
On the one hand, I already have all of the figures, so it's slightly disappointing. On the OTHER hand, that's a lot cooler than a mere repainted weapon that not all fans would have access to.
I'm personally hoping for any of the following:
1) Frosta - weird, I know, but my golden retriever made a snack out of mine.
2) Shadow Weaver - Could totally happen, since these are 2012 subscriber gifts and she was the 2012 subscriber bonus.
3) Teela - Always wished I had purchased a second one to display the cobra armor.
4) King Hsss - Would like to be able to display him in both forms
5) BG Teela - Good base for a custom Mermista, should Matty never release her.
6) Whiplash - I sold my extra to a friend in need, so it would be kinda cool to be able to display both heads again.
7) MAA - extra fodder for the second head, palace guards, Dekker is always a good idea
8) Castle Grayskullman - Good excuse to buy one of those cool custom heads
9) Catra - Wouldn't mind trying to paint her up in vintage toy colors.
10) Mekaneck. Wouldn't mind trying to make a Snake Mek.
Aarons Top 10 (In Order):
Starburst She-Ra, Hunga the Harpy, The Twiggets, Stridor, Catras Cat Form, Kay-La, Skeleteen, Mini Comics Garn, Spinwit, FILMation King Miro
Hoping for some custom action figures by MasterEnglish.
Seriously, if they don't give me a repainted sword over a $30 plus free figure, I'm calling for Scott's resignation. What kind of irresponsibility is on display when we would be given a $30+ gift instead of $2 one? What is this? Christmas time? A way to make up for past wrongs? Lunacy! This will NOT help customer relations AT ALL! Feel our wrath Matty . . .

Would be cool to get Scareglow
Eh...
I was expecting something unique.
This is like "killing two birds with one stone." Matty gets rid of unwanted stock and at the same time takes care of their "gift" problem.
Don't get me wrong, free stuff is great but getting an already released figure as a bonus sure is a disappointment. I already got doubles on figures I wanted. I would have much rather received some unique accessories, even if they were just redecos.

I only have 15 left to collect until I get a complete collection, so any for me is welcomed. And if I already have it, I can use it to make a custom. I do think though that it's likely to be one of the Evergreen items. He-Man, Skeletor, She-Ra, Hordak, King Hsss. Or one of the ones that wasn't sold out on BF/CM.
"Skeletor to King Randor, Skeletor to King Randor, come in you Royal Boob!"
And it's better than a pink repainted sword.
How is this classless? It's a free figure for a minor issue, I was shocked they would give us an entirely free figure even if it was leftover stock. They can also have this issue resolved this year.
1 per subscription.
No doubt, I can't believe so many are unhappy, this was an awesome gesture in my mind.
Well I imagine it won't be a sold out figure?
Well again I'm overwhelmed, it's an entire figure for free! Give it to a kid down the street if you don't want it.
Exactly!
I was going to say the same thing, I like making all kinds mixes and matches, and extra figures are great for this.
This line has been around since 2008? If you visit toy sites or MOTU sites they've been on there? This is basically an internet only line so if you haven't been online looking at toys or don't buy figures I guess you could have missed it?
LOL
I don't know how this is slap in the face? It's for subscribers, you missed the subscription window, simple as that. For whatever reason you were not a subscriber for 2012, this was for a mistake a subscriber could not get out of, where as doy of buyers were well aware of before purchasing Frosta.
It probably will not be a 2012 figure.
No need to be, why is this such a big deal to you?
I don't get it either?
All sub holders will get the free figure no matter if they returned her or not.
No kidding, I think Jitsu looks amazing and the free figure is an absolutely unexpected surprise.
What does this even mean???
LOL, no kidding I just don't get it?
Dear Matty: Please send me either Shadow Weaver or CastleGrayskull Man as my free gift figure...........Seriously those are the only two I would really want.![]()
Keep The "Classicized" 200x Heads in MOTUC!
No Thundercats Sub For Me Due To The 200x King Hsss Torso fiasco!
Guess I'll have another figure to drop off at the Toys for Tots bin. I've already dropped off about 23 toys thus far.
Betcha everyone gets Mo-Larr.
Can someone PM me the US number for Matty? I want to talk to someone who might has a clue of what is going on.
Evil will always triumph because good is dumb.
Interesting! I win no matter what. Either I get someone of whom I'd like a double, or I get much-needed extra parts. Hopefully it'll be good parts! One way or another I'll get something I'll use.
Back of my brain is still hoping it is at least an interesting new repaint of someone simple, but I doubt it. The ultimate free gift to me would be to repaint Skeletor in his Disco colors, but I wouldn't want to deny anyone of that. No, no we all need to experience that. All of you. But especially me.

Alexx has a blog?! Come on in and check out Toys and Tomfoolery! You won't regret it...until the next morning.
I think this is beyond generous. Some of the anger over this is really....wow.
I love this site,and listen to rgd non stop.....I have to leave this thread now or I will be banned for what I want to say.![]()

Sweet, a couple free figures for me! I think it's a great gesture by Mattel, I'm always up or a few more MOTUC's! Hoping for a Man-E-Faces, or a King Hiss, heck even another He-Man, I don't have one in every room yet. Plus, I have a new bathroom being constructed, so I need to decorate that...![]()
Hey Super 7, Snake Mountain rocks! Let's Kickstart it!
I think sending us a complete figure is EXTREMELY generous. Who cares if I already have it? If it isn't something I want, I'll give it to someone else. I think this is an awesome move on their part.
