Now *that* would be a nice additional feature...

I get that you're a huge fan of the property but feeding into their greed by buying a Club Grayskull membership is just wrong. Us collectors need to send a message that this kind of sales tactic will be rejected.

I bought it initially because It was the only way to get the He-Ro figure, and I actually had no problem spending an extra 10 bucks to do so, And I'll be happy I do have a membership if and when they do another Member Exclusive figure, or a potential sale, I'm not at all mad about spending a few more dollars, and I wasn't knocking the whole thing, I just feel like I wanted a bit more at this point, but I won't give up hope that I will get more in the long run, I don't really think it's a horrific amount of greed honestly, it's a few more dollars, and I have no problem really.

I don't think these "sales tactics" should be so shocking, it's long running, remember Matty Collector? honestly it's whatever, I might have scoffed if it was 50 bucks..

I guess for some reason they opened up the ordering for Grayskull club members at 11am since I was able to order right then, a Bit unexpected since it's usually 12, but was happy to just put my order in and move along.

I find it kinda funny that I spent money on being a club member, but my only real perk is ordering a figure before regular customers, but that doesn't mean they are going to send me the figure any earlier, so what's really the perk? I could just have avoided the extra fee and bought it tomorrow and it would ship the same time, kinda silly, The only thing so far that's been only available to members has been He-Ro, seems so far not worth the price of the ticket, I need more perks, like how about re-issues, I need Snake Mountain and Kol-dar, Krang, Master Splinter, Leatherhead etc...put those on the site and now we are talking...

You also get an additional 10% off when they're having sales like now. I've already knocked a chunk off my $9.99 membership fee and I know I'll have more than made it up when my year is up.

Possibly the biggest contribution of the last DC run... I feel like the mask is missing some paint though. Otherwise, she looks pretty good.

Shown below via Mattel Creations UK is the new Masters of the Universe Origins Despara Figure from Mattel. Look for this figure to go on sale on MattelCreations on May 24th for Club Grayskull Members and May 25th for everyone.As a loyal servant of the Horde, Despara is known for her formidable combat skills and dedication to Hordak. The last time we saw her was in the Classics line, and now weve brought her to the Origins line in time for the 40th anniversary of She-Ra: Princess of Power. Which is fitting, since (spoiler alert!) Despara was born as Princess Adora, the alter ego of She-Ra and the twin sister of He-Man, who helped her discover her true identity.

Masters of the Universe Origins Despara Action Figure5.5 inches tall, with 16 points of articulationInterchangeable heads with Adora face and Hordak-style maskPlastic cape includes holders for her two swordsAlso equipped with body and skirt armour

Seems odd. Normally they promote a new figure for at least a month. Now it's dropping in 3 days with no preview.

ooooooooo snap!!! Instant grab
