If you thought the battle royale on new figure day on the website Mattycollector.com was the only way to get some cool figures, well, there is one other way. Toys R Us brings these great exclusives to you for $30.00 each!
Superman and He-Man are unbelievably detailed and articulated for almost an endless array of action poses. Packaged side by side with figure specific box art and posed for displaying sealed in the wrapper, these figures are awesome just the way they are.
Superman seems to come with nothing and He-Man is equipped with his breast plate armor, his battle axe and a repaint of his shield (oddly, no sword included–but, that’s OK).
Also included is a comic book with a reprinted, classic story.
On the back of the package is a profile for each character.
The Lex Luthor and Skeletor pack is put together the same way with great detail and articulation. A comic book and accessories. Lex comes with his armor and a selection of Kryptonite and Skeletor comes with his armor and a yellow (complete) sword. (No staff? Not even a purple sword?) Odd, however, it’s pretty interesting–the yellow sword is the weapon that came with Thunder Punch He-Man in the 80’s (which I still have)–I like the originality of this item being included with Skeletor.
The back of the package includes the character profiles. I love the art used for each character. The classic painted design of both Skeletor and He-Man and the modern comic/Anime style art of both Superman and Lex Luthor.
I was completely surprised that both sets were available on the Toys R Us website for the very reasonable price of $30.00 each. Shipping was free, so after tax I had paid true retail.
I highly recommend these sets for not only collectors, but also for kids–just tell junior not to play so rough.
