After 25 years, she arrives...

Okay - I'm a She-Ra fan, but, I'm not sure what this is. A movie? A game? The Princess is dying to know!!

You are looking at her action figure. She never had one, all these years. She-Ra did, but Adora never did. She also has the truest repro of the Sword of Protection made in toy form to date since She-Ra's inception in 1985.

She will go VERY VERY FAST. She'll be on sale at Mattycollector.com on Jan 15th, 2010.

How many of them were done, like a limited run or something?

She is part of the Anniversary line Mattel has been doing for almost a year now. However, good luck. I wanted Hordak, and he was gone within 45 minutes, so I missed out. Mattel keeps saying they are going to increase production, but then they allow scalpers to buy 400000 figures, while letting 5 people who actually want the line a chance to get them.

...or not.

I have every figure released since the line began.

Also, they've begun a subscription now. If you get the sub you are GUARANTEED your figures, and Adora is the first one.

It doesn't help me though, since I only want Hordak and Teela, and perhaps someone later on that has not been revealed yet. I just find these designs to be vastly inferior to the 2002 series despite the posseability on them. Oh yeah, not to mention Mattel has no sense of quality control (the DCU line is horrible, but I believe Faker had two left arms, which is even worse).

Boy, you're just never ever happy, are ya?

If you find them so inferior, why do you want them? "I hate these, look how inferior they are, but now I'm gonna bitch that I can't get them!"

That's a well-crafted post if I ever read one.

Last I checked, Mattel was one of the few companies these days that WASN'T going out of business. That's because everyone in the world likes their QC-lacking subpar toys, I'm sure.

Score: 80s 1, Mattel 1, Gank 0

I just want Hordak and Teela, that is it. I don't care for He-Man's 80s design, that is what I'm saying.

That is the best action figure I've seen in a long time. It's about time Adora got her due! And the sword looks awesome.

How come I can't find her on the Matty website? Is this from another site?

Because she isn't available until next year. They never have the next figure pictured until about a month before it comes out, and then you cannot order it until the day it comes out, and depending on how quick you are to order, will depend if you get it or not. Here is the time it took for each figure to sell out:

King Graysull: 3 hours 30 minutes
He-man: 41 days
Beast-Man: 41 days
Skeletor: 4 days
Stratos: 2 days
Faker: 3hs
Mer-Man: 54min 1st batch - 1.05min 2nd batch
Zodac: 3 days
Hordak: 1.05hs
Man at Arms: 38 minutes
He-Ro: 2 hours, 40 minutes
Tri-Klops: 2 Days 6 hours 14 minutes

Ah okay. I was just wondering where the photo came from.

The photo originally came from he-man.org, which, in turn, got it from a slide show shown at SDCC.

The figures have upped production twice since they started, and core characters like He-Man, Skeletor, and Beast Man are being re-released near the end of the year in larger quantities. There was also a subscription service offered so you were GUARANTEED every monthly figure.

When Gank stops posting only the facts he wants and starts posting them all, he might sound half knowledgeable.
