Wow, nice. Very snazzy. A con exclusive I'd definitely get, were I there, along with Spengler.

I made the decision the moment Gleek was announced as being only available at SDCC that I would not be buying the Wonder Twins set from matty. I'll try to pick up a set with Gleek on ebay right after the con, when it'll be flooded with them, but I have no interest in owning the set without Gleek, as he is the main point of interest to me.

That said, Mattel did a fantastic job with the packaging for this set. It looks to be completely collector-friendly, too, like Lobo was last year. It looks as if you can remove the figures completely from the trays once the slipcover is removed, and then replace them if you wish, with no problem. I don't think the elaborate packaging is worth paying an extra $15(if the rumored $40 price tag is true), but it is very cool.

I don't keep anything packaged, but I do keep packaging occasionally. This would definitely be something I'd save.

They did kind of work them into the continuity. They were in Extreme Justice, though they fiddled with their backstory and amped up the powers to update them.

The packaging is awesome, and I’d keep them in it separate from the rest of my DCUC. But I’m not going to SDCC, so no monkey, no money!

i swear i've read that rant before tek…

but i agree. i'd rather the extra money got an extra accessory they could turn into… or just got gleek w/ every set.

but i'm not a MOCer, who they seem to think is their demographic, given this move.

Sorry but all I see is wasted money. I open my figures and display as a group. Without all this packaging I could get the figures for $25.00 or get more accessories. I am all for making a con exclusive just that – EXCLUSIVE TO THE CON. I have no problem with Gleek not being available online and would stand behind Mattel if NONE of the con exclusive product were offered in any way away from the con they are for. What I do have a problem with is all the waste in material, and cost as well as the hazardous waste (The battery) that must be disposed of. We have to much crap going to land fills all ready.

I don't own or want this set or King Grayskull, but Grayskull's packaging was much cooler. It was a castle!

"this is defenitly targeting children (I’m 14).still,though I have to admit that packaging is pretty snazy.I’ll pass on this one though because of them not being in countiuity and such.plus it is a tad juvinile"

Waaa? How is it any more juvenile than over half the toys produced today. It's also not targeting children, it's targeting older people who grew up watching the show. Kids wouldn't care about these guys and frankly they won't ever see them, unless the A. Go to comic con and B. can afford it/have parents that will buy them.
