Oh instant preorder on that Sorceress! She's going to have so much presence with that wingspan. Any other hints on other characters get dropped? Any visuals or further mention of their She-Ra plans?

based on these preliminaries I can't imagine being able to resist how these come out.

Just like the Stactions I expect this line of statues to be revered and to appreciate years down the road.

Looks great. I was only going to order the He-Man/Battle Cat and Skelator/Panthor pieces but now I may need to try to find space for the whole line. Just too good.

Sorceress looks awesome, Man At Arms is great, a very important character, but I'm disappointed in Scareglow, I think Tri Klops, Whiplash, Clawful, Spikor, Faker, Jitsu, Kobra Khan, Stinkor, Two bad all would have been better choices, Scareglow came along when the line was on the way out, and having him just isn't important to me at all

[SONICobra]

Well theres still a solid chance you will see at least some if not all of those characters eventually. Igo also hinted at snakemen happening soon in the future, there are a couple easter eggs on beastmans base that tease the coming of the snakemen

Yeah I can stress enough the importance of art direction and preliminary conceptualization for an entire line.

You can't sell "COLLECTING" a series of anything just one at a time. People want to see a direction a collection is heading.

NO!
Companies have been exclusively focused on selling characters but people will buy what sells the eye, even if its Captain Nobody.
Scarglow is a SUPERB choice because he the design appeal. Nobody's paying $600 for Jitsu's design.

This is the problem EVERY Thundercats "line" has had and it looks like so will Tweeeterhead's will too.

If they all just look like slightly different versions of the same cat people people they don't hold enough interest to get people to buy!

That was it as far as visuals go but snakemen were hinted at and possibly a she-ra next year for the 40th anniversary. Not sure if legends, classics or potentially both - nothing definitive was said a lot of stuff that may or may not be in the works

That Man-At-Arms is good, nothing wrong but as is I can tell you right now without embellishments that Man-At-Arms will be the lowest selling of the line so far regardless of nostalgic appreciation or character adoration.

These are not toy figures! The game changes at these prices!

The Snakemen are a fantastic idea because the Snakemen will sell based on their designs.

Looks like Man at Arms is still being worked on. Love the porn-stache. Scareglow looks a little too similar to Skeletor. Sorceress is going to sell very well.
