New Specialty Series TrapJaw Pop from MOTU

Postby **babasdada** » Thu Feb 09, 2017 12:28 pm

I loved this toy growing up a wee lad. Loved his trap jaw action. Happy this is finally a pop! Coming in May!

I wish I we could see the back of the box

hmmmmmm Very interesting.

The question is, which sites already have it listed for pre-order?

I saw a green head and thought it was the ECCC announcement at first! lol

Oh heck yeah!! Want to see all of what they may have in store for MOTU.
Love Trap Jaw and really anything from MOTU is an instabuy for me

Just kinda wish they had made his jaw open a bit or more flush with his face. Looks a little like a helmet right now. Don't care though because he is awesome and I love him!

Super cool for MOTU fans!!

Great sculpt, captures the character pretty darn well.

Almost bummer that he's a Specialty Series figure, imagine all of the exclusive store variants they could do with different attachment arms...

Love it! Want to order it! The problem is, I got into the Pop game so late, I'll likely never have He-Man or Skeletor, or any of the rest, so it almost makes sense to not get it. Trap Jaw by himself is kinda pointless.

Postby **Legion Of Boom** » Thu Feb 09, 2017 1:05 pm

Very cool! Can't wait for the release.

Now they need to re-release He-Man & Skeletor...new action poses of course, like they did with the Rangers.

Sweet, I hope that more motu stuff is announced soon.

Ditto on everything you just said.

Awesome, thanks Brett!

Trapjaw has always been one of my favorites from MOTU. It would be a cool feature if the jaw could move up and down.

Postby **Princess** » Thu Feb 09, 2017 3:28 pm

Yesssssssssss to all the MOTU!

I thought it was meant to be Ice Man that month with the Dave dorbz? Werent they due to be sold the same month?

Postby **Capt Hook** » Thu Feb 09, 2017 8:40 pm

I have to get this one Trap Jaw and Battle Cat have always been my favorites out of all the He-Man figures. Infact Trap Jaw is made for me because we share the same name well at less the last part of his name. Jeffrey Alan Warner

Awesome!! Another solid entry! Still waiting for Emma Frost though...

The specialty series label on this doesn't mean they can't reuse the sculpt for common or exclusive releases.

I really want to buy this one. But thus far I have avoided Masters of the Universe Funko products.....I am afraid this will be a slippery slope for me.

Postby **HowardTheDuck** » Fri Feb 10, 2017 1:36 am

But....but Iceman.....guess I'll be waiting another month for him.

The Power of Greyskull is great and all, and I thank you for it.....the problem is most retailers don't see it as usable currency......

Maybe. The announcement of the Specialty Series read to me like these pieces are exclusive the the series/retailers and would not be seen in mass market stores. Be kind of a slap to re-release him to say Hot Topic with a claw arm. SDCC on the other hand would be a perfect venue to give him a metallic paint job and a new arm...

Would love to see Super 7 and Funko come up with a MOTU SDCC exclusive.

How would this be any different from Hot Topic having one variant of a character and Walmart having another variant?

Because those are big box mass market retailers and they understand they are ordering a variant of an existing design and are a-okay with that. With their size and scale the one exclusive variant is really nothing but a drop in the bucket for them and a traffic driver.

I see the Speciality Series as a "thank you" bonus to the smaller loyal accounts of Funko as an item to drive direct sales for them since they can not complete with the resources and discounts the big guys get. Telling me I am getting something special as a unique sales tool that the big guys will not have and then releasing a variant of that item to Walmart, Target, TRU, etc. would feel like a bit of a slap in the face.

The key thing here is that these pics carry the Specialty Series label where as a general variant/exclusive does not and is available across multiple channels.

Looks like I'm going to have to try to finish this set now. He looks great.

This is awesome! I hope we see more of Masters of the Universe! I would LOVE a Teela and Adora.

Wow, I loved my TrapJaw toy as a kid. I forgot how much I liked him until I saw the pop!

They have already repainted two "specialty series" Pop! figures for common release. Golden Age Batman is also Earth 1 Batman and the Batgirl is the same as the NYCC Batgirl.

Very rarely do we disagree my friend but there's a first time for everything. I've waited very long for an Iceman and cannot wait to have him.

Did I miss the pre-orders or has this yet to really become available?

I believe he is still available for pre-order from Gemini if you need.

I just got my shipping notification for this from Gemini. Can't wait until I receive it.
