Yep, but the figures usually turn out amazing and I guess that’s why MOTU fans have stuck with it that long
Yes I expect Lion-O will be much further along (pretty much near final toy) Jackalman might be in plastic too but not quite final and the other 3 will definately be Four Horseman resin prototypes.
I honestly don’t think there will ever be a chance to get toys based on the vintage cartoon again. I mean come on, Mattel is taking a risk on a property that not too long ago had a short lived reboot. If this fails then it is definitely it I bet. I’ve ordered a sub via monthly International Post already (just incase the prices change again! lol) but I might go back in for a couple of single ship DHL subs after New York Toy Fair
I emailed DR and told them my subscription was charged at $30 and that early my subscription checkout didn’t list out the whole line of figures nor the future total to be paid. I requested them to update their records for my subscription and initiate the refund for $5.
Got the following reply and I replied back with the needed details, while confirming my address on the website as well.

Well I did this for my MOTUC sub last year when I changed shipping method… I expect they will cancel your original order and then re-order your sub at the lower price.
Yes, I am in a similar financial crunch but I couldn’t help but go for two. This has been a line I have waited for so long that I have to support it as much as I can!
The two characters shown originally were intended for release this year, but due to many changes the past few months, the production schedule became delayed, making it impossible to deliver the first figure before September.
This meant that to get all six figures out before the end of the year would have not only been hard logistically, but in the event it was possible, November and December would have been double loaded cost wise, which would have made a lot of fans unhappy.
The two characters originally listed have not been cancelled completely, they’ve simply been moved to the next available two slots - in this case January and February 2017. This of course relies on the sub going forward and a 2017 line happening, but all being well those characters are still planned.
As for the price point, that has now been remedied and you’ll now find the correct price is up on the subscription page.
Subscribed already? Never fear, you’ll find the extra refunded to your account within the next 5-7 working days.
