They probably would make a killing off that.

And from our perspective.."Hot Damn! Finally got that Fisto, but now I have Spector.."

So seems like now PowerCon is in danger...
I've been there 3 years in a row in L.A. and if anything, it was getting bigger each year...

Methinks this is one of those cases that as TG says: "Fans are louder than numerous"
Bad move to do it in NY this year...

He-Man and She-Ra Fans,

For the past three years Power-Con was hosted in the Los Angeles area with an abundance of guests, enthusiastic attendees, and many happy vendors. But for the people organizing and running Power-Con, the show is a labor of love that has always operated with the goal of breaking even on expenses, even with the entire staff working on a volunteer and unpaid basis. So when the LA show peaked in attendance, we knew we had to look at other possible venues to continue the event. Countless fans asked every year for Power-Con to come to New York. Therefore, in an effort to help the show continue and give fans what they asked for, the decision was made to take this year's show to the city that never sleeps. Unfortunately, the staff at Power-Con is coming to you today with a heavy heart to announce that the number of advanced tickets sold are 28% of the total needed to pay for the current convention expenses.

The vast majority of He-Man and She-Ra creative talent live in and around the Los Angeles area. Getting talent to New York adds additional high cost factors that were not present in the LA location, which is why we forewarned fans that doing a travelling show would result in Power-Con having a smaller guest list, akin to other brand-specific traveling conventions. Our current guest list for the show is final: Brian Dobson, the voice of the 200X Skeletor; Dave Bullock, Mike Young He-Man storyboard artist; Djordje Djokovic, sculptor and graphic designer who has worked on various He-Man projects; the Four Horsemen toy design group; Paul Kupperberg, original DC Comics He-Man writer; and Earl Norem, famed He-Man artist. We also have a number of great vendors already committed to the show.

If you want to come and experience an intimate gathering with fellow fans of He-Man and She-Ra, and interact with some of the talent who helped bring these brands to life, please purchase your advanced tickets by Friday, July 11, 2014.

The bottom line:

• If we reach 100% of the number of advanced ticket sales needed by Friday, July 11, 2014 (one week from today), we will be able to proceed with the payment that is required by our host hotel. Power-Con, like many conventions, requires expensive up-front costs including hotel room fees, meeting room rentals, audio/visual equipment rentals, and other related expenses. New York is especially expensive.
• If we do not reach 100%, the convention will be canceled and we will absorb the financial loss already dedicated to the project. Pre-ordered tickets, Goat Man orders, and vendor table sales will then be refunded over a 60 day period following the July 11th deadline. We are not able to refund other related travel expenses and deeply apologize.

We hope a cancellation does not occur. We want Power-Con to reach its goal and go on as planned in New York. Please spread the word to any fans you may know, especially those who live in and around the New York City area. We at Power-Con still hope to put on a great show in New York that mirrors the fun of the previous three years in Los Angeles!

On a positive note, if we meet our goal by Friday, July 11th:
• We will begin looking at the possibility of adding additional guests to the convention. The more tickets sold past 100%, the more guests we can pursue.
• All advanced ticket holders will receive a free art print illustrated by Chris Faccone.

Deadline: Friday, July 11, 2014

Power-Con is slated to take place on September 13 & 14, 2014 at the New York LaGuardia Airport Marriott. Advance 2-day tickets (weekend passes) are $65.00 each. Day passes for Saturday or Sunday are $40.00 each. For complete information, visit the Power-Con website at: https://www.thepower-con.com/ Thank you for your support!

Countless fans was probable about 10 of them insisting on the issue just like with other things in this line...

yeah,they should of left it in CA.....Mattel being there at the Power Con is also a big draw for fans with the reveals and they are not attending anything in NY this year if ever at all.So I wonder how they plan to do any reveals since the 4 Horseman is suppose to do it for Mattel..

How are you hanging in there with not buying a Sub?

 

[Kuzeh]

I'm good so far... we shall see after ComicCon... as I said... unless they show something amazing, like a vehicle, beast or another playset, that is part of the sub, I'm pretty sure I'm done! Or, if they decide to show some of the 200x figures already... that would push me over the edge... alas, it won't happen until 2016 so...

 

[dedguy]

In other news NA Skeletor, who I was pretty excited for, looks pretty crap imo. He has reversed shoulders (why does this keep happening again and again?) and the fat armor doesn't look like it'd be an easy cut-job to make it look better like I did with Mosquitor. It also looks worse to me than any other armor like this, not sure why, maybe because it's supposed to be a naked torso while all the others could be armor.

The body overlay is very frustrating but I am still really looking forward to it.

Same here. I've always liked NA Skeletor and was blown away by the Horsemen's prototype. I hope there's a way to decrease the puffiness of the overlay.

 

[teemu]

have a feeling that the 2015 $60 slot is indeed Battle Ram (Chariot)...

That would be a huge letdown for me, not a vehicle guy at all. If the case, hopefully it comes with a figure I want and can sell off the vehicle.

Much more curious about the sub exclusive figure. Any thoughts?

 

[JonWes]

The problem with the Battle Ram is it's this huge thing that takes up a lot of space. I'd rather have Stridor, myself. Don't get me wrong, 4H's interpretation of it was beautiful, but it's not a must-have for me.

I prefer Stridor myself,but since Stridor shares tooling with Night Stalker,Stridor doesn't seem to line up for 2015 as there isn't two $60 spots in the Sub (plus Stridor remains not trademarked)

those two $52 slots are 2 packs (26+26 = $52 since figures are $26 each) Rotar/Twistoid (probably will be shown at SDCC) and the other will be variant Flying fists he-man/terror claws Skeletor.......Now unless Mattel plans on selling variants outside the sub,then those $52 slots would warrant Stridor and Night Stalker

 

[Eamon]

"Chariot" as in 200x and not as in the rest of the Battle Ram?

 

[teemu]

"Chariot" as in 200x and not as in the rest of the Battle Ram?

just going by current trademark......Chariot as in CLASSIC Battle Ram

 

[Eamon]

Ah ok, well you know that makes me very happy. The "chariot" part throws me as that was called just the Battle Ram Launcher.

Either way, I am delighted here.

 

[Kuzeh]

Supposedly these are production pics of Rio Blast
looks pretty good! Though seems like some paint apps were sacrificed again...

 

[JonWes]

I really like it but I just hope his chest flap actually closes all the way.

 

[hunnipot85]

I hope Mermista is at comic con this year. I'll be going... they usually show the stuff on Sunday?

 

[Zodach]

The reveals will be Friday, July 25 at the MattyCollector.com panel. I believe the panel is 11-12 Pacific time. After that they will have the new reveals on display in their booth for the remainder of the convention.

oh she will be...she will be

 

[dedguy]

That kills me that they keep cutting paint apps. Sometimes it's not noticeable sometimes is nearly ruins a figure. You'd think they could just tell the Four Horsemen what they can do on any one figure and they'd design for that but no… uhg
