Sideshow Masters of the Universe Collection

[JonWes]

Maaaaannnnn.... she looks so great. I really want to try to avoid getting too many of these. But I might have to get her. Sigh.

 

[Josh-A-Tron]

The ES on these things is getting ridiculous. Means a lot of these statues will be lucky to break even when time comes to sell. I was hoping it'd be 1250 like he-man

Uh why are you thinking about selling? You can keep these for quite while. They don't expire.

Nice nod to the movie with those Meg Foster eyes

I've never been a big MotU fan. I mean I've enjoyed it in its various toys and shows through the years, but I was never quite into it like GI Joe, for example. But I'll be darned if these statues aren't speaking to me. I was sold on Skeletor at SDCC. I knew I had to have him. He's just a great villain design. And I eventually talked myself into getting He-Man to go with him. And now Evil-Lyn is looking fantastic as well. Its going to be hard to convince myself to just stick with He-Man and the baddies if I get her. Skelator and He-Man are an obvious set, but once you get a third statue in there, you've got a much larger set to collect

Just wondering, would that wipe out all passwords and saved info?

If you are referring to passwords that you elected to save for certain websites so that you login automatically, then the answer is yes. Not sure what you mean by saved info, tho.

Whoa whoa - we need to get back to this 10% off thing. We need some hard, repeatable evidence on how to get this code to show up. I get what you're saying on the procedures above but is that something that pops up on your account every so often? Is it a day that it happens to everyone? What are the factors that get the discount to show?

I cleared all cookies and cache and sat on the shopping cart page for a half of an hour and nothing showed up. Certainly there must be more to it?

When I was trying to get the discount, I did have one try where nothing popped up even after 20 minutes. I thought that couldn't be right since others were saying they waited at most 5 minutes. So I closed my browser, opened another one and redid the steps. The discount popped up on the next try.

Don't know what else to tell you, but try again. If nothing pops up ...keep trying. At least try 3 times.

they are getting more stingy with it since I let the cat out of the bag. You can also now only use a 10% code one time per account, even it more pop up. The most important thing is to make sure you've cleared your cookies on whichever browser (not just history).

I'm not super surprised that it's larger than the He-Man ES because Skeletor will probably be the piece to buy for most people who don't go in for the whole line...he's too cool to pass up

Yup, exactly. Sounds like it's GavilanOrd's first time so he should be good with the one time thing. And the steps mentions both history and cookies, so I hope he's doing that.

Man, 80's nostalgia and my childhood all over again. I'm out of the collecting game, having pretty much sold my entire collection of PFs', statues, and figures, but I enjoy living vicariously through this site and other collectors. This line looks great.

Posted by Igo (Sideshow VIP) over on statueforum:

Teela, Man-at-Arms and TrapJaw are next three.

Confirmed, or rumored? I'm assuming Teela is definitely next, as Igo said "She". And while Trapjaw and Tri-Clops were my favorite baddies as a kid, Sideshow needs to stick with the OGs and do Beastman and Merman.

Yes, PLEASE.

Overall sculpt is fantastic, but the pose seems slightly awkward to me and makes her seem short and stubby in the pic above. Her pose stance should reflect her with longer legs. Great statue overall, and I dig the snake tats on her back.

 

[Mamba]

This piece is so much better without the fabric, I think I will pass if the fabric is not removable.

 

[Gomur]

A Tale of Two Halves for me.

The upper body looks great. Love the detail and pose.

Her lower half. Not so much. Looks like a clusterfudge of fabric run amok. Even Skeletor and He-Man are showing more leg.

Okay, to be fair, the cape looks fine with how it drapes down on either side of her. That black loin cloth is what bothers me. Feels too large and less interesting/detailed than the ones on He-Man and Skeletor.

This is from Mark Newman's Facebook. Hopefully I can maneuver the loincloth out of the way like this sculpted version.

 

[Moosemeats]

I wonder if I could get Sideshow to send me the mpeg of that Skeletor theme remix they have on their video...

There are a ton of free programs to rip the audio or video from youtube videos, just google it. I usually just use YouTube to mp3 Converter

 

[AC_808]

Damn, that loincloth needs to go ...or at least moved out of the way. Mark's sculpt proves it.

Thumbs up on YouTube to MP3 converter.

Looks like that cloth was originally sculpted but I think Sideshow went with material there, I would think it could be moved out of the way a little but Sideshow also added 2 straps on either side to "hold it in place" so to speak
That might make it a little difficult to completely tuck away

 

[JonWes]

I definitely like the presentation of the sculpted loincloth better. Hopefully it won't be too difficult to make the cloth version sort of do that without it looking weird.

Thank you, save that guy for later.

I agree

 

[Gomur]

Tried to superimpose the sculpted look. A little messy but bear with me.

The fabric cape was fine! Whydja have to go further, SS? Why?!?

 

[starscream0]

Gomur that looks great! I'll be happy if I can tuck it away like that or close to that
