Masters of the Universe Classics Club Eternia Subscribers – Powers of Grayskull Sticker

Don’t blame Digital River – by “vendor,” Mattel means the factory that was responsible for manufacturing and packaging the Preternia Disguise He-Man, not the oft-maligned company responsible for taking and fulfilling orders on the MattyCollector.com site.

I actually would prefer if they not obscure the view of the figure with these stickers, so this is win-win for me.

IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR CLUB ETERNIA SUBSCRIBERS

When you get your February Club Eternia shipment, be sure to look inside for a “The Powers of Grayskull” sticker! It was intended to be on the package for Preternia Disguise He-Man, but due to a vendor error the sticker was left off.

To ensure the figure is complete, we’re sending a sticker you can apply yourself. It will be shipped loose along with all of the February Club Eternia items (Preternia Disguise He-Man, Bow, Shadow Beast, and the Etheria Map) so don’t forget to look for it inside the box!

Fantastic Exclusive Gothitropolis Scarabus Paint Sample Recap

We just got the first Scarabus paint sample in the other day, and we’re so excited about it we couldn’t wait to share it with you!
There are a couple of minor paint tweaks to be taken care of, but for their first pass we’re extremely impressed!
More sh…

I was hoping for more Scarabus shots from the Four Horsemen for a their Four Horsemen Fridays feature, but I’m guessing they’re very busy getting ready for their Toypocalypse show, which starts this upcoming Friday.

I believe the last shot in this set is of a painted 2-up prototype that they used in a recent photo shoot. It’s pretty cool to see how the smaller figure is matching up with its 2-up. I always expect the production figures to be a downgrade in quality – I haven’t seen that with Scarabus, so the bar is set pretty high.

We just got the first Scarabus paint sample in the other day, and we’re so excited about it we couldn’t wait to share it with you!

There are a couple of minor paint tweaks to be taken care of, but for their first pass we’re extremely impressed!

More shots to come in the next couple of days with some of the alternate parts in place, but for today here are a few front and rear shots of Scarabus in his basic form, along with one of his little Time Keeper buddies sporting his new Time Keeper War Armor!
