Oh really? yeah was Nightstalker a Mattelcreations exclusive? I thought it was a mainline release, but also if it was it makes sense it didn't sell out it's not a must have item, I mean it's just a robo horse vehicle, and speaking as someone who doesn't collect Vehicles in any line, I didn't buy it.

Well, that's one of the main line vehicles/creatures that I was surprised on how low people got behind it... I actually ordered. ??? It looks cool.

I guess it finally sold out, that was a long period of availability for a Mattelcreations exclusive, last up until Friday night from what I saw, like I said before I really hope this means they are making more product and things going forward won't sell out instantly and the windows for purchase will be as long as this.

His design for us not knowing his background is not very appealing... Kol-Dar was in the Filmation cartoon so yeah, that one is a must have. Lady Slither, I'm guessing fans wanted King Hiss to have a mistress...? Fangor and Frog Monger I have them and I think one of them was part of the original castle grayskull drawing portion...???

Well then I guess the unappeal is more universal for the MOTU fans then one would imagine, he did end up getting a background story though however in more recent times, so it does exist.

True Kol-darr was in the filmation series, but wasn't an actual figure, anyways I see that appeal as well, Lady Slither..sure, Frog Monger was a drawing on a Castle Grayskull deco indeed, These are all valid points, anyways super happy myself to get a Demo-Man, and happy anyone else that might want can still buy it.

I want to just hope this means maybe Mattel is producing more product and they are not selling out so quickly because they have plenty, which means future releases will be easier to get, rather then it being an unwanted item.

True this was not a character in the original line, and did first get produced in the Classics line, but it's surprising that the die hard MOTU collectors wouldn't be interested because Demo-Man has some fun beginnnings, it was a character created by mark taylor (he-man creator) and was a sketch for a conan villain, and later was some what a pre-skeletor, the original drawing for this character pre-dates MOTU, and has become iconic in the MOTU world. Seems like a reason behind people being interested.

Also just because a character never appeared in the original MOTU line doesn't seem to stop them from selling out, look at Kol-darr, Fangor, Lady Slither & Frog Monger.

Anyways Demo-Man is still Available! they must have just produced a good amount, or perhaps no nobody really wants him, who knows at this point, but glad to see he's still up!

I'm not familiar with this character... I never saw him in the original line so that's why some other old school fans don't get on board on this one like me. I only saw him before, I think it was in Classics scale...???

I'm actually shocked it's still up, I was expecting this to be another one of those Origin Mattelcreations Blink and You miss it figures, which seems like 99% of them, but I just checked and Demo-Man is still available, either way I knew I was going to wake up and wait and stare at a counter for him, wasn't taking the chance.

Yeah, while I never take chances when it comes to Creations, it looks like he's not going anywhere for a while. Not terribly surprising, when you think about it, though.

I only bought the MOTU Classics for the Alcala Skeletor head, but they already did an Alcala Skeletor for the Keldor 2-pack. If I was army building orcs or something, I'd buy him. I can see why Mattel in 1981 kept developing the main villain's design. Nothing really stands out.
