MOTUC Stratos goes on sale today

Recommended Posts

In a little over a half hour, Stratos goes on sale at MattyCollector.com.

 

Interest seems pretty high for this line right now, so if you're going to order, I'd do it within the next day or two.

 

I know I'm getting mine today.

Mine was smooth, too.

 

The only figure I had problems with was King Grayskull, but so did almost everyone else. He-Man/Beast Man, Skeletor, and now Stratos all went through quick as a whip. I got my order confirmation immediately.

 

I only ordered two figures this month since I'll be loading up on Faker next month.

No problems at all on my order, except I got in a hurry and didnt change to UPS shipping. But oh well Itll still get here. So far I have only been ordering one of each but Im already planning on getting two of Mer-man Teela and Man at arms so I can display one with each head.

I was really on the fence with this Stratos. He had the sock-feet which is true to his original figure, but the 200x toes just gave him so much more character. He has unarticulated wings, they could have at least made the wings flappable with a hindge. He has no weapons, open hands too so he can't hold any weapons if he wanted to.

 

All that and I still ordered him at 12:01 because I love me some MOTUC!!!!!

Same with me, I just ordered Heman and Beastman to give the line a try and bum! I got caught with it, just ordered Stratos today and will keep collecting the line until economics allow me. Mattel pretty much will have my money this year with DCU, JLU and MOTU classics.

How many you plan on loading up on Eric? Cause I wouldn't be

surprised if Faker sells out pretty quick. I might get 2-3 .

Last time I did a quick rundown in my head, I was thinking five, though I may just go with four.

 

I'll need the regular one to open and one to keep MOC. Then there are a couple customs I want to do, and possibly a third (though I can't remember what it was now). Four would be expensive enough, so hopefully I don't remember why I was thinking five. :D

 

I think Faker will sell out fairly quickly, too. I know I've seen some posts from people saying they're not interested in Faker or don't understand his appeal, but I've also seen plenty of posts saying they're excited for him. Plus, Faker's generally a fan-favorite for MOTU people, and the He-Man sculpt is awesome. And finally, Matty posted on his Facebook page tonight that Stratos is selling faster than they expected, and I'd definitely say he's had the least hype from fans, so Faker should do even better.

 

Did you order Stratos today, azrael?

Yup, I ordered mine 2 hours ago. Initially I wasn't sure how many to order because I was

also going to get that DCUC Adam Strange 2-pack but I opted for another Stratos instead. Looks

like my other lines are taking a back seat right now for MOTUC, which is fine since I haven't

been this hyped up for a toyline since the 2002 re-launch.

 

On another note, buying a good supply of Fakers would be a good idea albeit expensive, I rather

him get into as many fans/collectors hands as possible than scalpers, besides you never know

when you might need an extra for trade. Although I'm curious as to what the SDCC exclusive will

be, have you heard any word regarding it or is it just a rumor? I'm actually contemplating on

attending this year so hopefully its a good exclusive.

Faker's pretty much my favorite character, so that's why I might just buy five. The more figures you order, the better your chances of getting one that's still got a mint card (my He-Man and Beast Man that I bought to keep MOC both have a slight crease or bend). It also improves your chances of making sure you get a figure that doesn't have any quality control issues. Still, that's a lot of money for one month, so I'll just have to see how I'm feeling when March 16 comes.

 

As for the exclusive, all I've heard is that they're going to have one at SDCC. No word, other than speculation, on who it might be. If Teela were coming sooner, my new guess would have been a Green Goddess figure since it's just a repaint of her. My old guess was He-Ro, but after thinking about it I don't see that happening since the exclusives are almost always repaints or have heavy parts reuse.

 

Hopefully they don't do what they did with Faker and just offer one month's figure early in place of an exclusive. That wasn't the original plan with Faker, but since Mer-Man was running behind schedule, they went that route so they'd still have a MattyCollector figure for March. I doubt they'll do that again though since figures shouldn't be behind schedule anymore.

I had planned on getting 3; but my dad had to order it being I didn't have internet access yesterday. So now 5 are coming. Lots of Stratos for me. lol.

 

As for the SDCC exclusive I think it's going to be the never before released character; and while personally I'm hoping for Marlena or Evilseed; my gut tells me it's Count Marzo.
