Just looking through the pics now, some nice stuff on the way - and some stuff I could care less about.  It looks like they should cover a lot of the figures I really still wanted this year, so that's good.  Man-E-Faces is one of my all time favorites, so I'm glad he's coming this year.  Along with Clawful, Sy-Klone, and Panthor, it knocks off a few more of the ones I was hoping for.  I'm in on the sub for the rest of 2011, but I don't know if I'll do it again next year.  Aside from Stinkor and maybe a handful of others, they've covered a lot of my favorites from my childhood, and it gets pricey keeping up with this line when you are collecting others as well.

Pretty lousy showing, if you ask me. The only thing I'd buy out of that was Man-E-Faces and maybe Clawful. What in the blue **** is a Battle Ground Teela anyway?

I've kind of taken a sabbatical from this line, anyway. I'm forced to get them on ebay since I'm at work  when they go on sale and they sell out before I'm done, so I've broken the monthly habit.

Agreed.  I love this line but it feels like something is lacking.

Today was my first time ordering in many months, and I HAD NO ISSUES?!?!?!  Bizarre.  They must have really cleaned some things up.  Either that, or no one other then me wanted King Hisss (I loved that guy as a kid).
I hope it goes as easy next month.  I must get Panthor.

I have to order the weapons rack next month, not looking forward to it but I am glad it seems easier to order. I love this line and I am excited about the mini comic battle Ground Teela. I am a sucker for Barbarians, she will look great with Vikor!
The only upcoming figure that i am on the fence is the Faceless One.  I have no choice to buy him as I am a subscriber.

Do you have to be a subscriber to get BG Teela? I'd like to get 1 or 2...

Not really digging this take on Leech, but I'm sure I'll buy him anyway.

Just picked up Sy-Klone and Moss Man. Completely forgot about them going on sale on Friday. I missed Panthor, though.

I've read some theories that they're releasing Castle Greyskull piece by piece, starting with the weapons rack.

This year's SDCC (and then Matty) exclusive: Queen Marlena with Cringer.

Not super impressed. I was hoping for the space suit from castle grayskull. Cringer is not articulated either.

Yawn.

Everyone was hoping for something unique, like Modulok.

I kind of like this exclusive. I'm really surprised they're even doing a Cringer, even if it's not articulated.
