Yeah. I always watch the video reviews on he-man.org and I love them. I'd love to have them as I had all of the original figs as well as the 2003 figs at one point. But I just don't have the room for them and don't really want to pay 20 plus shipping every month.

While they look great I just didn't feel like starting another line. I'll still order a few here and there. I might order the Stratos next week when he's available.

I love the line but as others have stated, a little too pricey for my tastes right now. Between collecting the WWE Classics, F13th, Transformers & the occasional McFarlane, I just couldn't afford to start a new line. I did however pick up the He-Man & Skeletor. I loved the cartoon growing up and it these were the main 2 so I'm satisfied. Not to mention that they're really incredibly detailed figures.

If I collected these, I would have grabbed the Faker at NYCC this weekend. He looked great.

That King Greyskull has the best packaging ever!!! I really need to get these classics while they are still semi-reasonably priced. Congrats on the awesome stuff. ![:)](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/smiley.gif)

I love these figures. Like others have said, they are pricey but I love the 4 Horsemen. They design fantastic figures and these are no different. I have King Greyskull, He-Man, Beast Man and Skeletor. Skeletor is my favorite figure released this year out of any line. I'll post pics tomorrow after I buy more batteries for my camera.

I have all of these so far as well. I am so happy they are doing this. I was very happy they announced Hordak, Battle Cat and Man At Arms at NYCC. As well as some others. I really hope they make Prince Adam and Adora. and it would be sweet if the Battle Cat had a switchable head like some of the other figures so when his armor is off he could have his Cringer head instead of roaring Battle Cat Head.

Cool Pic Chacon. I have those figs that came with the vhs tapes too. Too bad our collections will never be complete without real movie figs. ![:(](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/sad.gif)

Bad news for those (including myself) who did not order Stratos yet. He is sold out on Mattycollector.com. I'm so bummed right now.

Yeah, thats why I took no chances and ordered a little after 12 on day one. Mattel needs to get their sh*t together
I'm going to hate seeing what happens with Faker who already has lowered numbers from NYCC
I just got my eBayed Beastman today ($50), I really like him, I think I like him more than Skelly (eBay, $55). Now I have no He-man, he's going to be bought next paycheck when I can afford to blow $60 on a single figure

They're only available online. But there are now some slight rumblings of making a set that is slightly different for store shelves. But it's not set in stone. It all depends on the movie project and what becomes of it.

I love these figures, but missed the first 2 and have no interest in collecting them any longer. I seriously question a lot of Mattel's marketing decisions. What, did Jeremy leave Jakks and go back to Mattel or something?

The scalpers are jumping on this line like crazy.A character like Stratos to sell out in 3 days is just absurd.On day 1 I put one in my online cart but decided not to buy yet and wait till payday Friday and when I check Friday he was sold out.I was pissed but there is this glitch where there was still a Stratos in my cart when I logged in the site with my password and I was able to buy him.I'll know in a couple days if he ships.I did this with Skeletor also.I was able to buy a Skeletor through this glitch almost 2 weeks after he was sold out lol.I read somewhere that Mattel keeps at least a 30% of there inventory in the warehouse even when they claim its sold out for returns and replacement parts,don't know if thats really true or not

After the initial release of He-man and Beastman the scalpers went NUTS! I got He-man but havent been able to get the next two. Really pisses me off. Mattycollector should be smarter than allowing 10 figures to each purchase.

I was a huge He-Man fan back in the day, and I collected the 20XX line (to the best of my ability due to Mattel distribution), but with my Star Wars and DCUC collecting, along with the few wrestling figures I still buy and the random odds and ends like NECA TMNT, I could not get into a what I knew would become a scalper line.
I knew this was going to be bad at SDCC 08 and people were hording up the King Greyskull figures. I grabbed two for myself (one to open, one signed by the 4 Horsemen MIB).
On top of all that, and I know this may sound crazy, but I am not that crazy about how these are turning out, looks wise.
