@Andrew Davis: mattel should ABSOLUTELY reign in its factories when the figures are selling at $20 plus shipping plus mystery whatever tax. at that price point the line should definitely be of a higher quality than your typical mass market line, and certainly NOT of a lower quality. star wars figures have far less common manufacturing issues, and they are produced in much larger numbers.

if they can't control their QC issues, they need to step up their customer service and offer replacements for poor saps who get stuck with misassembled, broken, or incomplete figures.

Yes, Raven, I am converted. I will buy Skeletor next month, although I would REALLY like to see him redone with a headsculpt closer to what he looked like on the Filmation series and less "fakey" like the original, and now new, toy look.

@Reverend Ender: HA!! we have a new convert... welcome to the fold rev ender! i suppose now, you're stuck for at least skeletor next month too, right? i want to know how mattel will be handling this. for a 20 dollar fig, it really shouldn't take more than a single email to get a reliquary or key mailed out comp... lord knows NECA have done that, on cheaper toys no less. so let's see how this big stupid giant corporation handles their customer service.

well, my first time ordering from mattycollector. scareglow and he-man got here today praise muslim jesus.

i figured it would be the case, my scareglow is missing the reliquary and the key. so how do i go about getting them or does mattel not play that "costumer service" game?

pretty god damn disappointed.

So mine arrived today. Never got a shipping notification. But I don't even care. Scareglow is great, and has all his accessories. But that is not the great part. I had avoided this line until Teela because I really didn't want to get hooked on another line and spending more money. I planned to get Scareglow though, because I am a succor for glow in the dark gimmicks like he is. I debated for quite some time whether to get He-Man as well, then bit the bullet. I opened him up. He is a thing of beauty. I looked back at Michael Crawford's original review of him for comparison. My He-Man has none of the shiny plasticyness that so turned me off of the line back then. He is AWESOME! This is what he always should have been The matte finish on him is terrific. This re-issued He-Man is quite possible the greatest action figure I have ever owned. He is that good. I cannot get over it. I wish DCUC were this good.

I have never h@Kid Nicky: I have never had any probs with Star Wars figures, and any I had with Transformers or G.I. Joe were only minor things like paint apps. Considering the price we pay to get these figures in the UK its a real turn off from getting other figures. After two bad experiences with DCUC Shazam and Superman I really would have to see them in person instead of buying from ebay.

@Kid Nicky: I said "to be expected," not "to be taken lightly." My point was that the missing keys might not be any more widespread than other problems like doubled feet or broken limbs.

Overall, I can't think off hand of any figures I've ever purchased with mistakes or missing accessories except one G.I. Joe boxed set and a few DCUC figures with swapped lower legs and feet. I guess I've been lucky.
