Hordak carded images

Pretty neat bio on the back there, and I see King Grayskull is on the back of the card again. I hope that means he'll be rereleased around the time Hordak is available.

Received my Fakers on Monday.  Awesome.

I finally caved on Stratos and bought one on eBay.  I missed out on it last month and after seeing more pictures of him in collection pictures I had to get it.  It cost me $35 shipped.

Watched a few episodes of He-Man on joost.com to really get into the Masters of the Universe spirit.

Action Figure Insider has a preview up of the upcoming Mer-Man figure.  It really looks nice to me, looking forward to picking it up.  I received my Faker figure last week as well, another nicely done figure.

What's the story with the alternate head?  I don't remember him looking anything like that?

One is how the original figure looked, and the other is to represent how he looked on the 80s packaging, which one of the Four Horsemen said it bothered him that the toy never looked like that.

Thankfully they went that way. I never liked the original head.

I love that we are finally getting He-Ro and the cosmic power sword is really nice. I hope we get Eldor soon.

This is slightly off topic, but we were placing an order for a couple books from Amazon over the weekend and I was checking out some things to get things over the "free shipping" $25 level.  Anyways, I noticed that Amazon currently has the old He-Man and the Masters of the Universe DVD - Season 1, Part 1 set on sale for $9.99.  I didn't think that was a bad price if anyone was interested in picking it up.  Just thought I'd pass it along.

I also read this morning that Matty updated his Facebook page with shipping updates, and stated that MerMan will likely sell out on day 1 (4/15), but they are supposed to have another batch on the way on 4/23.

It looks like Mer-Man is now up for sale, for those interested.  I would expect this figure to go pretty quickly, but we'll see.

Jesus, it's taken like 10 minutes to make this order. I think we finally broke the site, team. I'm at the last step, and I've been on that screen for five minutes.

I'm stuck on an infinite loop myself. I add it to the cart, login and then it says my cart is empty. I've been doing this for like 30 minutes now. I guess it's happening to a lot of people.....at least Mer Man is going on sale a second time if I manage to miss him this time.
