Still, I'm disappointed in the choice of body... I would've liked to see Mortal use later parts, like something post-84. All the other figures in the set have a good amount of bulk to them, and then Mortal is using scrawny 82-83 body parts... he'll stick out like a sore thumb...  :|

I agree.  I want this figure to have some bulk.  If it's the comic pack, I can live with it.  But the figure will stick out like sore thumb with the rest of the figures in the boxed set.  I guess we will see on Monday on what parts are used.  The boxed art may be a minor swerve.

The filecard should be interesting, regardless if he doesn't fit into the so called "mythos" (god, I hate this fanboy term, who the hell came up with this).

I can't see brian putting up with that.

I can't  eaither,  not  just for qualitys sake, but for that  fact  that people  will bitch and moan about it, if it does  break.

Thats  a hellova headache I"m sure he doesn't want to have.

The pictures are now up and I gotta say I like it. I've given up on owning the original but this will do.

Well, Mortal is up, and I gotta say I'm disappointed.



A straight repaint of the 97 Snake-Eyes, right down to the bad-fitting Roadblock waist. This is way uninspired even by Master Collector standards, and completely kills the set for me.
Chrome is definitely one of my least favorite things to have on a toy because of how weak chromed plastic is, and because of how easily it rubs off.
MasterCollector definitely made a mistake with this figure, and I can't believe they didn't realize this when the figure wouldn't even pose right for the photo.

I think he would've been better if he was see-through instead of chrome. Oh well...

I think I will pass on the set and get the Joes seperately if they're any good.

edit: HOWEVER, he does look better than the original. This will definitely sink the value of the old one by up to $100.

[Raptor]

I'm not happy with the roadblock waist, and yet... I want one.

I really do. Anyone picking up a second set that doesn't want it? I'll pay $20 cdn for it + shipping.

I think it looks pretty  darned sweet.    After seeing this pic, I am  definently sending my  atendee payment in now.

[Jon S.]

Yeah, I'd buy a Mortal too for $20. But for some reason I doubt I'll get such a rate.

I think he would've been better if he was see-through instead of chrome. Oh well...

I agree, I was hoping he would have been translucent, and not just an imitation of the original.

[Pete The Greek]

It's not that bad after comparing it.??I actually think it's an improvement over the original as it has swivel arms (at least the one I have as it has paint wear). A beefed up version of the character would have been better fit in the set.  ??

 

Here is cynical view of the figure.  I bet that some people involved with this figure are happy to release this version, only to devalue the original one over time so they can get it on the cheap. Why else would you use the skinny Snake Eyes body?  It's an out dated body and mould.

And I am still pondering on whether I want a bag set.  Those accessories in that crappy MC grey are horible.  Mould them in black.

The idea to bring back Mortal was good though they should've beef him up a bit.

I haven't received my washroom reading material this month either.  You can never have enough paper.
