Honestly, I can’t wait until 2011 when my all-in Club Eternia subscription kicks in. If Tytus was any indicator, September will be a quick sell-out month with the oversized Gygor figure going on sale. And I think November will be interesting too, since Grayskull was the first figure introduced in the line, back at San Diego Comic-Con in 2009.
Remember back then? The first He-Man on MattyCollector.com took weeks to sell out! š
No official pics yet of the line-up, which includes a couple Ghostbusters and the JLU Parademon 2-pack, but we included some from our SDCC 2010 coverage.

Bit disappointed in the look of Grizzlor. I’ve still got my childhood Grizzlor, and the fur on him looks decidedly less cheap than this MOTUC version.
in most cases, sticking with the original aesthetic of the vintage figures has worked for this line. I never had the original figure so I can’t make the same comparison as you did, but I am curious on what they could have done differently with Grizzlor.
I’d hope for a bit of a twist when it came to the fur, but don’t mind how they’ve added the fur, just that on the prototype there it looks odd, like he’s wearing a bad wig. The original fur was a bit more matted, and sat nicer on the body. Who knows, maybe they haven’t finished it just yet, but I’ll definitely need to see plenty of the finished product before I contemplate picking him up (so, eBay it is).
