Looks awesome, but I don't collect satues or busts.

I'd say this baby will run you about $195.99.

The regular statue will retail for $150. There will also be an artists proof but no word on the price on that yet... Looks pretty damn cool, now all I have to do is convince my other half of just how cool it is...

I'll probably spend $150 in action figures and comics over a certain period of time.

I'm perfectly content with my SKELETOR action figure. It'll do just fine, and it was only a fraction of the cost.

This statue rocks. I'll probably get it if it is not too expensive. Two years ago this statue would have done well with fans but right now everybody is too frustrated with Mattel to care about the He-Man line anymore. I have not bought Panthor and Castle Greyskull yet because of the sheer frustration I have towards the company.

It is a shame because the Four Horsemen had the best intentions in the world when they re-desingned the MOTU line. Mattel is allowing the MOTU collection to die too soon.

Toy companies do not seem to understand that a HUGE part of their business is driven by adult collectors with enough spending power to fund the economy of a small country. Unfortunately they are too stubborn to realize this.

ATOMIC PUPPY, I couldn't agree with you more about MATTEL.

At one time, I would have refused to believe that a company could make the same bone headed mistakes over and over again [i]without[/i] learning, but MATTEL proves to us that they can and will continue to do it.

I honestly think they are so stubborn, that rather than change packing ratios and doing something like actually putting out cases with [u]no[/u] HE-MANS or SKELETORS in them, but all 'secondary' characters, they insist on using their totally asinine packing methods, even if it means death for the line. They are like a stupid ship captain going down with the ship and refusing to get onboard a lifeboat that has plenty of room.

Further proof of their stupidity is the new BATMAN commercial, that features ZIPLINE BATMAN, ROBIN, and the JOKER. The three most hard to find ( [i]and comic accurate[/i] ) figures that they have put out!?!

If MATTEL has sooo much faith that all 'the kids' want those multi-colored BAT varients, then why not have the commercial feature a purple BATMAN fighting a yellow BATMAN, while a red BATMAN and camoflauge BATMAN stand in the background?

And I agree with you BronzeAgeRobin.

I love the visualization of your version of the Batman commercial!

Even ToyBiz tries to rectify itself once in a while although they did not made the Balrog because they are basically Walmart's b!tch and will not make 6" army builder packs.

All in all Mattel is using marketing methods that became obsolete at the end of the 1980s and refuse to move on! Even the Ninja Turtles came back and are kicking proper ass!

Mattel sucks. ToyBiz: I love you but you are Walmart's b!tch.

I have seen a few young boys reaction to that BATMAN commercial, and they all go nuts and say "I want that!"

I just shake my head and think to myself "Good luck, kid...you're gonna need it."

Sure, they'll be able to find the BATMOBILE, but it will end up being driven by some STAR WARS characters, or a neon orange BATMAN.

I just read that the SRP is $200.

It's a shame. If it was $150 I would have bought it.

At least I can look forward to my Gandalf and Balrog wall plaque.
