Skeletor is going to be back on the 27th at the usual time 12 Eastern.  I'll try to grab two.

Saw that yesterday.  It's great that he's back on the market, but I find it kind of odd. 

1) Why weren't these made available in Decmeber when he was first reissued? 

2) Why not do it on the 15th so that people can order along with other items and save on shipping? 

The last thing I want to do is jump on the Mattel bashing bandwagon, but they sure make some questionable decisions sometimes.

I think it's actually a smart move to hold off on reissuing Skelly till after the 15th. With Trap Jaw, battle Cat and the reissue Man At Arms on sale that day already, I think the server will be bogged down enough.

Yeah, we don't need them to reissue Skelly in Feb when the site is probably going to explode already with people trying to grab BC, MAA and TJ.

Except that will cost $8.00 or more for separate shipping.

Exactly - that's what bugs me about it.  I do understand the point, how it's already going to be bogged down on the 15th, but damn...

Got my sub Adora today and did a full-on review of it.  Hope you enjoy.

Ordered a couple Skeletor figures today.  It went smoothly.

Wow, after my complaining I completely forgot that today was Skeletor day  :)  Thankfully they still have some, so I got one ordered (along with a Gotham Thug Joker, which I passed on before).

I think I agree with your review, John.  Over all, that's kind of a plain figure, but they nailed the paint and the sculpt works for the character.  And I have to say, she has one of the prettiest face sculpts I've seen.  DCUC has had some great looking female sculpts also.

So the sale is now Feb 16 rather than the 15th and subscribers get $8.00 off BC?  They should offer a half year subscription at this point.  I'd do it just to avoid the RSOD which will probably only get worse now that people know Mattel has idiots running the MOTUC toyline.  Apparently they can't figure out that increasing production on a hot item will make them more money, which is the goal of a company not run by morons.

After Battle Cat arrives, I'm going to have to rethink keeping my figures in the package.

Yeah, I picked up a second He-man and Skeletor.  I'm hoping/expecting that with Battle Cat coming, Panthor can't be far behind.
