Tried to get in for the mini-comic Tri-Klops (LOVE that glow in the dark ring!), the Castle Grayskull Expansion set and Faker/Duplicat, but F/DC sold out from my cart while I was waiting in line (about 9:02am PST). Glad that I got the other two, however.

Anyone know if the Tri-Klops is a preorder or not? Faker and Sun Man said "preorder" on checkout and Tri-Klops didn't. Just curious.

Everything else has a "ships on" date listed under it other than Tri-Klops so my assumption is its in-stock shipping soon. |

Was able to grab a faker duplicat set and Tri klops today. Really wanted that faker set so I was pumped. Not surprised it was first to sell out.

Saw the Revelation Faker at Target yesterday. Not for me. OG blue Faker is a top 5 all-time He-man character/figure for me. Shame the design on this one is just Robot He-man.

I saw a bunch of Skelegod figures & Sky Sleds. They looked awesome.

He's my favorite MOTU character with He-Man. I was/am hoping for a regular blue Faker. Revelation showed him both ways, though I think he didn't have his hair by the time he was all blue. |

I ordered the vintage-head versions of Origins He-Man and Skeletor last night from Amazon. They arrived today, and both He-Mans and one Skeletor were loose from the backing cards. And one of the mini-comics was missing entirely. It looked like they were probably loose before shipping and just tossed into the shipping box. I read something about the bubbles coming off the card with these versions, so I guess it's common, at least with Amazon.
Anyway, they're great and what you'd expect. The heads are the same ones included with the Battle Armor variants. The nice thing is they have the full Power Sword with the longer, thinner hilt/handle, so there are no issues with them staying in the figures' hands. The only thing that would make them more definitive would be vintage paint/deco.

I can't remember if I mentioned it here, but the Battle Armor Skeletor I received from Amazon was missing the sword and extra hand. The bottom portion of the blister was separated from the card like it wasn't glued leaving just enough space for them to slide right out the bottom. |

Missing the comic was whatever, but the sword and extra hand are a deal-breaker. I hope you got replacements or a refund. |

I still haven't seen him at retail. |

Luckily, he was in stock and they sent a replacement. I still haven't seen him at retail. Nice. And I hadn't seen him either until this morning (same with BA He-Man). Guess they're still rolling out, even though they first hit several months ago. |

Both were damaged pretty bad. My replacements arrived today in a bubble mailer, but thankfully both were in good condition. |

Like maybe it's up to whomever is packing the order. Even in a box, they rarely use enough packing material. I've just accepted that MOC isn't an option when ordering from Amazon and certain other places. |

It's always hit or miss except for their exclusive Pops. I've always received those in their original Pops box as well as a shipping box. |
