Hey p!tu! Thanks bro for the great comments...i've followed all your vids on youtube and am a massive fan so your comments mean alot!

Feel free to check out my other crack-a-lacking displays my friend, i have the Rambo and T2 Enterbay dioramas completed so far and i know your a big fan of the T2 figure - infact your youtube review of the Enterbay T-800 had me in stitches with your Arnie impressions of "Get Down!" and "Get to da choppa!" classic!

Thanks once again p!tu...(and change those pants!)

Mmmm, hope Lord Dactyl turns out like this guy (but with bat wings and more gargoyle-y).

I wanted to make an entry for the Create-a-Character contest called Rob-Bird. He would have been a thief character and a magpie (stealing shiny stuff!), but that the 4H already sculpted this stopped me. It's a super cool looking figure. I just wish it belonged to a line I already collect.

So last month was really quiet with only SLL on the schedule. I am very excited for this month's haul of Mekaneck, DB Skeletor and the Snakemen 2-pack. I really wish the dragon's teeth were sculpted differently on DB Skeletor though. The Four Horsemen usually work wonders on their sculpting, but this one was a miss IMO.

According to AFI:

The (Meka)-Neck-ed Truth
from Action Figure Insider - Best Toy News on the Web! by JuliusMarx

Right around the time of Comic Con the question was raised a few places asking if the 2 neck insert pieces from the MOTUC Mekaneck could be used together to make one large neck piece. The answer back from Mattel was a sort of vague “that’s not really how they were designed to work”.
Now I have the figure in-hand and I can tell you that yes, it is possible and very easy to do. Yes there will be a spare band at the connection point. It’s up to the individual collector to decide if that bothers them or not.

I thought Matty showed a photo of the neck being extended to 2 different sizes. A mid-range extension and a full extension.

Yeah that would be the two extensions.

I've never heard of anyone creaming thir pants then congratulating themselves on how good they were at it

 

[samueljd]

Yeah that would be the two extensions.

I just thought it was odd that Matty says they didn't make the neck to do that, but they had already shown preview pics of the neck extending to both sizes.

A bit confused about what you're saying here.
Mattel showed pics of Mekeneck with a smaller extension and a longer extension. So he has, by design, two options.

What they said was that the toy was not designed so you could put the two extensions together to make one long neck. Which you can't REALLY do. You can't make one, continuous neck, because of the blue piece.

But you CAN physically do it and paint the central blue piece or just ignore it if you don't want to. It just wasn't designed to do that. Does that clear things up? Or am I confused about your confusion?

Crystal clear now. I thought the first cut and paste quote was saying that he only had one option for neck extension rather than the two. So apparently, what people are trying to do now is go for a third longer extension. I didn't understand that folks want to put together both extensions for an extra long extension.

Mekaneck looks awesome!!

 

[Hellion]

His face and helmet line up weird, his eyes wouldnt be able to see out of those lenses unless they were on his forehead, hes got old school Hawkman syndrome.

I don't see a problem with it,but lots of complaining over at the Org about it

I think he looks great though

 

[Hellion]

I am crossing my fingers for Dragstor and the 2 comet warriors to make an eventual appearance. I dont think theres alot of love for those guys but I want em!

 

[Kuzeh]

So people are bothered about his vision... but in no way worried about where the frock he's supposed to store his neck???

!!!

I'm beginning to think some MOTU fanatics are just trying to find stupid things like this for the sake of being negative...

Unopened Stinkors returned due to 'lack of smell'.

Need I say more?

 

[JonWes]

Uh, welcome to the internet guys?

Seriously, I think we'd all be past the "fans thinks such craaaazzzzy stuff" phase at this point in the history of the internet. Also, the sky is blue and the grass is green.

A silly as people can be about some things, I have to say I do see what people are talking about here.

I'm not too worried until I see more of the figures and see mine in hand. That being said, it DOES look weird as-is and the helmet SHOULD be farther down. But this is only one figure. If the helmet is a separate piece, it might be that the factory worker just didn't push it down all the way when it was glued on. Could be a one-off.

And to be honest, if it IS messed up, I think this might be a "reversed shoulder" type problem for me, where it's mildly annoying but doesn't affect my enjoyment of the figure.

Yeah, that was my first reaction as well, it looks like the helmet/goggles are not on correctly. I am not a fan of how the head looks in those photos at all.

 

[JonWes]

From the Review on TheFwoosh:

However, the head is also the spot on the figure that carries an issue that seems to have popped up during the production process. The placement of the helmet seems to be well, slightly askew and might cause a positioning issue in relation to the eyes. You have to look slightly up at him in order to really see it, but the goggles sit more inline with where his eyebrows would be, rather than his actual eyes. But, on this one, you have to look closely. In fact, I might not have even noticed it save for some extreme close ups. It is not 100% perfect so it will be an issue for some, while others won’t skip a beat. I do wish it lined up better with the eyes, though.

Kind of what I was expecting, and fine by me. I think he looks awesome overall.

Also, first Frosta pics. Overall I think she looks good. Her weapons are cool. I think the expression could have been a bit more smiley but it's not bad. The only thing that really throws me off is the black collar.
