    He-Man/Superman 2 Pack Review

    If you've been on the fence about MOTUC, then the new Toys R Us exclusive two pack is for you. Even if you're a hardcore Masters of the Universe fan, there is a lot to like about this pack. He-Man is quite good, how good? Well check out my review for all my thoughts. If nothing else it's a good way to console yourself while grumbling about how Moss Man sold out in five minutes. Hey even flocked ears version sold out in one minute, but at least you can still get this guy.

    Mattel Can Kiss My Arse with that sell out in 5 Minutes not meet Demand Crap and 20 + plus auctions on ebay of Scalper's selling them with 10 or more figures minutes afterwards.


    Adora, TrapJaw, Battle Cat & Now Mossman have all done this the last 3 Months .... These figures are selling out fast now, than they ever did the last yr, something smells like a bunch of Horse crap if you ask me, and I am almost but done with them.

      Nice review. Great pictures too. Nice and clear. Very well done. Just one correction. You were not the first to break the news on this. Info on these had been circulating for weeks previous to toy fair and had been confirmed on several toy news websites days prior to your report.
      You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

        That HeMan has the cutest face I have seen on a HeMan. I like the caped one.

          I won't debate you on this, other than to say that all the reports prior weren't confirmations but conjecture about Ebay auctions. We were the first site to confirm with pictures (via ToyFare) and various other sites, Toyark, Toynewsi, etc got their confirmation from us.

            Toy Fare magazine officially broke the news on this and scans from the magazine had been floating around all over the place for several days prior to your report. Not to mention info had been going around for weeks prior to even that. It just ruins an otherwise very well done review trying to erroneously lay claim that you broke the news on this. Toy Fair Magazine offically broke the news and several others reported on it and posted scans.

            If you want to come off as toy news site and not just another toy fan blog passing around second hand info you may want to credit Toy Fare Magazine.

              Like I said, if you want to claim that, you can. Doesn't bother me. I won't be changing the tidbit about us breaking the news on the net, because we were the first to report it. We credited ToyFare magazine and were the first site to break the news on these packs. We were credited by several other news sites for posting the info up. Prior to our report, the info on all the major toy news sites was based purely on conjecture of Ebay auctions.

              I don't know what else to say. Toyfare got the news, we had the news from Toyfare before anyone else. No other toy website had confirmed news of these two packs prior to us to my knowledge. All the major "toy sites" certainly didn't. We passed the news along to various other toy sites. We were credited by most, as was Toyfare. We've never claimed to have something first if we didn't. In this case we did.

                Haven't seen these yet but want to get them when I do. I don't collect the MOTU Classics but do appreciate the line so this will work for me.

                  If you feel you must claim you broke the "news," so be it. But you should at least credit Toy Fair magazine in your review. It's always more professional as well as courteous to credit your sources. Like I said earlier, this ommission sours a otherwise sound review.

                    Great pics and review! The prices on these two packs scared the beejeebers outta' me. I would've easily paid 20 bucks but not 30 when all I want is He-Man and Skeletor and Supes and Luthor are simply re-packs of other available elsewhere figures. Anybody have a He-man and Skeletor extra lying around they may wanna part with?

                        That's complete and total crap.
                        Thier site stated that the figures went on sale at 12pm Eastern Time.
                        Not 11:58, not 11:55 ..., not 11:50. or whatever. They suck, and it has only gotten worse, nothing has gotten better, Adora, Trap Jaw, and Now Mossman. I can't wait for this line to Calaps ...., collectors are starting to get pretty upset, and I refuse to buy any from a Scalper.

                          Toyfare was credited in the original post when we reported the story. Since I was referring to that post, there would be no need to recredit Toyfare. I was alluding to our original post which included the Toyfare credit.

                          All sources have always been credited at our site.

                            Well this review has sold me on these figures. I just hope the loca scalpers will not make it hard for me to find these guys. As of right now I don't have a Superman figure at all, my only gripe with supes is with his clenched fists. If he came with extra hands it would work better but as they are almost useless as they are.
