They had to do it so they raise more backers and it better to unlock stuff
I disagree. They promised an early backer incentive and now that likely doesn’t exist. A lot of collectors were banking on reselling Grayskull to help fund their purchase and now their exclusive figure is potentially doubling in units, diluting the market. I didn’t back this project, so I don’t have a horse in the race, but this isn’t a good look for Mattel. If they’re going to do this, they should offer the early backers another incentive like a discount on shipping.
Well they shoulda do it like hisstank
Sherella a early bird bonus instead? Moaty Jay Retro, well played sir, u were very neutral on the King Grayskull news
King Grayskull for all backers has everything to do with business and little to do with fans. A move to please fans would be giving Keclar to the early bird backers even if his tier isn't reached.
Anti-Eternia Moaty???
A certificate…. lol
Its always a pleasure to see Trisha… makes me miss Sourcefed Nerd a ton! Sourcefed and Sourcefed Nerd were the channels that got me hooked on watching youtube.
It's gonna help get us to Keclar. I'm down
I'm happy everyone will be getting KG if we get it to 10k. The only people really crying about this are the scalpers who are so distraught that their King Grayskull might be worth a few dollars less when they start selling their "investments". Like an extra 2000 figures would impact it's worth that much considering most people wouldn't even sell theirs. People calling for lawsuits and wanting to cancel orders are ridiculous.
The ONLY people I have sympathy for in all of this are the people who ordered early and had to pay full price right away. There should've been payment options from the start.
I call that false advertising from Mattel Creations smh honestly a kick on the bud for the early supporters
after watching the video I totally forgot there was a collectable in the video. daaaaaamn she fine! haha.
So no early backer figure and no payment options. So I could have waited too….Lame…
This is the Wun-dar debacle all over again; I recall reading really lame comments from buyers of the first sale of the figure being offended and asking for figures from the second sale and made-to-order to have some kind of differencing, so they can feel they belong in a "special" group. This is all about breaking the "I'm more special than you" illusion. It is one thing to collect toys, other to behave like kids…I mean, come on. Nothing is lost: figure didn't affect price, you're getting the figure, and you still belong to a pretty exclusive and small group that can afford this. Stop you whining.
Earlybird backers get black greyskull everyone thereafter gets a Caucasian version .that's my idea thankyou.and last 2day backers get an eldor figure also exclusive
How about individually numbering early backers playsets corresponding to their order number ?cost Mattel nothing.
Maybe early backers might get greyskull with variant armour/weapons add in . probably
Wow! Fan boys in their 40s. What’s the fkn difference of buying something on the first day or the last one?? Come on guys! Read yourselves, pathetic
Troll 2 “Oh My God”! Deep cut there!
Looks like the faker and he-man shogun figures go on sale on Mattel creations tomorrow. $300 each! I wanted a faker, but not at that price.
Purchased this 2 weeks ago, confirmation email stating confirmed and paid. Credit card statement showing nothing taken or pending from Mattel. Is this the same for anyone ?
This is funny…… What would be even better is if Mattel releases these figures as carded or boxed items next year before eternia ships ..lol
Hey Mattel never promised these would be "exclusive" figures to the playset ….
Giving everyone who buys Eternia a Revelations King Grayskull increases the chances of getting the final tier figure Keclar unlocked, which means more stuff for everyone. It's a win-win situation. 😁
The only people who are mad about this are the scalpers, and who cares what they think. 😛
If anyone is curious what the hostess' name is it's Trisha Hershberger.
Someone mentioned this in your stream chat but the idea of the early backers getting special packaging for Grayskull is a very good idea. That's really easy to do and would settle down the whiners because they wouldn't lose any of their precious perceived value.
IMO adding a second Moaty would cause problems with the late backers and we'd be right back in the same boat we are now because people wouldn't want to back it if they are missing a piece just like what happened as soon as the possibility of getting KG went away.
Oh, and Sharella was never a thing. That "leaked" image was a fake and people had some severe wishful thinking going on.
This is the result of the shills hard work, their audience now defend their greedy immoral destructive business practices withOUT shame or hesitation. Shameless mouthpiece for greedy corporations that hate their customers.
I'm glad everyone is getting King Grayskull but what shouldn't be overlooked is Mattel laid out terms for a promotion, promised an exclusive item and then changed the rules. Also consider this means they used the same premium to try and achieve sales goals on two different tiers. Early backers passed like myself also passed on other items that dropped around the same time (Mondo Battlecat) to be able to afford Eternia the first week believing this was the only way to get King Grayskull. I had friends that sold items in their collection to back the first week for the same reason. It's great every gets a figure that should never have been an early bird exclusive but what Mattel did to early backers is atrocious.
