Tweeterhead MOTU Statues

[Lorddrizzt]

Tweeterhead FB just showed some new MOTU statues. Trapjaw, Mer-Man and He-Man on Battlecat. Nice ones, have to get both Trapjaw and Mer-Man. Looks like TrapJaw and Mer-Man remain in 1:5 size, while He-Man on Battlecat will be 1:6 (not sure why).

I think the He-Man on Battle Cat is the start of a new 1/6 line with the classic aesthetics.

So who's getting Mer-Man? He's up now.

Tweeterhead Presents the new Mer-Man “Legends” Maquette! The Ocean Warlord of Eternia himself, one of the original Evil Warriors!

The Mer-Man Maquette measures roughly 17.4” to 20.5” tall, 14.25” wide and 10.25” deep when fully assembled - from the bottom of base to the top of his head (17.4”) or trident (20.5”), to the furthest out tips of the base and his sword.

This fully sculpted polyresin statue comes with Mer-Man emerging from a glowing pool into Snake Mountain, clad in his iconic deadly armor, armed with his legendary coral sword ready for battle!

The “Standard Edition” comes with his sword two distinctive portraits - A “Classic” style portrait inspired by the original Mini-Comics and Cross-Sell art, and an alternate portrait inspired by his appearance in the animated series.
The “Exclusive Edition” comes with an additional right hand holding his trident. With this Exclusive part there are 4 different ways you can display your Mer-Man Maquette!

The “Exclusive Edition” will retail for $535 and have a limited Edition Size of 450.
The “Standard Edition” will retail for $525 and the Edition Size is TBD.

Both Editions of the Mer-Man Maquette will be ready for preorder exclusively at Sideshow.com, February 17th, at 9am PST.

The gang is already waiting for him. Waiting for European start of preorders, not gonna pay 300 USD for postage from Sideshow.

*sigh* If only I had the space for these.

I feel like the trident should have been standard weapon but I guess I may just be thinking water guy = trident weapon.

Man I'd love to get into this line, but tracking down a Skeletor & Evil-lyn is near impossible in the UK.

Man I'd love to get into this line, but tracking down a Skeletor & Evil-lyn is near impossible in the UK.

I remember reading a rumor that Tweeterhead will do their own versions of He-Man and Skeletor at some point, perhaps in battle armor. They've also got Beast Man coming down the pipe, along with a few other to-be-announced characters.

While getting the main characters would be nice, the side characters will make for a great display on their own. I'm starting with Mer-Man and picking out whatever else catches my eye going forward.

Woah, I have the Teela EX and Mer-Man EX preordered from Sideshow. I also have the Minion coming from Tweeterhead, but god knows what is happening with the shipping on that one!

The pic above is actually the first time I've seen the prototype of Beastman. That looks frickin amazing! I'm assuming Trap Jaw and Beastman will be slated for a 2023 release after Teela and Mer-Man. If they then do a Man-At-Arms and a Sorceress, then I think I can die happy with my MOTU statue collection!

Here are my overall thoughts on the new Teela statue in my video review here:

 

[Khev]

Sorceress announced at Power-Con.

Sorceress announced at Power-Con.

Great, was waiting for this, so I do not have to preorder Iron Studios one in different size.

 

[Rotfish]

For those collecting the 1/6 Classics line:

 

[Time Lord Collector]

The Sorceress I'm definitely interested in picking-up. He-Man, Beast Man & Man-At-Arms will look cool in the Legends line.

 

[Time Lord Collector]

Skeletor on cat back in the 1/6 will go great along side He-Man on Battlecat.

WTF, I just checked my Sideshow Merman Exclusive preorder and it now says Preparing to Ship. I didnt even get any email or warning, and my credit card was charged yesterday! Not a big deal in the end, but I'm used to their system at least emailing me some details first!

Shipping to Australia was $168, so about the same as the previous Teela Exclusive. Looking forward to checking it out soon!

Frickin loving this thing from Tweeterhead! Some quick unboxing pics in crap lighting up next before full review tomorrow

 

[koolkollectibleskhai]

This new Mer-Man by Tweeterhead is just frickin beautiful! Love the exclusive trident!

 

[Lorddrizzt]

European distribution is announcing its arrival to August So I will have him too sometimes in October then.

This Mer-Man from Tweeterhead really is awesome! Love the swap out head sculpts and the swap out sword and trident! A fantastic addition to the series!
