Review: Four Horsemen Power Lords New York Comic Con Exclusive Ggrapptikk Grunt (Purple) Action Figure

While fundamentally similar to the pink version I reviewed last year, the Ggrapptikk Grunt (Purple) its sibling and now that we've had a few of these guys, it's worth looking at him again. I'm writing this just days after the fully-painted figures Ggrabbtargg, Ggripptogg, and Ggrapptikk went on sale giving us a grand total of 8 flavors of this mold with multiple heads so far. In short, this is a mold that mere weeks from now, a lot of fans are probably going to be ready to never ever want to buy again, but it's still a good mold - this wasn't the best version in terms of paint, but it's still charming. It just feels so, so much older than it is given the advancements in deco we've had since February.

Four Horsemen Power Lords New York Comic Con Exclusive Ggrapptikk Grunt (Pink) Action Figure

Technically a new character in the Power Lords canon, this Ggrapptikk Grunt (Pink) is one of two figures at New York Comic Con - the reverse color was sold there as well, with spare heads as of yet undistributed. Each figure is made of 17 pieces, with a two-piece staff. While larger than the Power Soldiers, they are slightly simpler with no ankle joints but instead four wrist joints.

Power Lords NYCC Ggrapptikk Grunt Figures Arriving

The 2013 New York Comic Con Ggrapptikk Grunt Exclusive Action Figures are shipping now - mine arrived Wednesday of this week (November 6) via USPS.  As far as I can tell, there was no ship notice.  One of mine was #303, the other was #154.

For those who ask about delivery times in the future, orders were up on October 17, the item was postmarked on November 4, and it arrived November 6.

So that's 18 days to ship, 2 days to arrive for those keeping track.

Which proves what I've been saying all along, that FedEx - previously the exclusive means of delivery from Store Horsemen - sucks.  USPS tends to be a lot faster, so huzzah and kudos to the Horsemen to switching to a much faster and cheaper shipping method.

NYCC Power Lords - Not Available to General Public

It took a couple of days, but the Ggrapptikk Soldiers sold out and will not be sold to the general public.   If you aren't already buddies with a club member, it might be time to make some new friends so you won't miss out on future releases.

Power Lords Ggrapptikk Grunts For Sale Now

Yes, they are!  If you're a club member, that is.  These items are not yet sold out - click here to get Ggrapptikk Grunts at Store Horsemen.  Singles or the set are available, and club members enjoy a 10% discount.

Given that the figures did not sell out at New York Comic Con 2013, have not sold out yet, and require a pricey club membership to order, it is very likely there will be some units for sale for non-club members on October 19, 2013 at 3:00 PM Eastern.

NYCC Variant Power Lords Heads Coming Somewhere, Somehow

Two more heads - at least - are seen in these bags!  The picture has been circulating on the Source Horsemen and October Toys forums, supposedly from Facebook but as I am not on Facebook I can't find it.  I'm reading that these may go to Fan Club members - and I sure hope so!  It looks like Ggripptogg's head as well as the fishy blue redeco's head are in here.   More as we have it!

NYCC Power Lords Exclusives: Online Sale Thursday

PSA: The Outer Space Men NYCC White Star edition are up for grabs on Wednesday while the Power Lords Ggrapptikk Grunts will go on sale this Thursday, October 17, at 3:00 PM Eastern.  The Outer Space Men are open to the public, while the Ggrapptikk Grunts are going to Fan Club members only - how this will be done, I'm not sure yet.  Also, it means you may not be able to order both at the same time, allowing Store Horsemen to double their workload and restrict saving you on shipping should you wish to buy both sets.

The Power Lords figures are $13 each, $25 for the pair, and/or 25% off for Club Members.

The Outer Space Men are $70 for the lot ($35 per 3-pack), or $11/16 each.

NYCC Power Lords Revealed: Ggrapptikk Soldiers!

A short window from reveal to the release of these figures - less than a week - New York Comic Con's exclusive Ggrapptikk Grunt figures will be sold for $13 each (or $25 for the pair) this weekend at booth #102.  Click here to see big pictures and more at Source Horsemen.

Power Lords Fan Club members will get first crack at it, and that 10% discount qualifies. A pair of these guys should cost you US$34.50 delivered.  If you have friends into this line, I strongly suggest combining your orders to save on shipping, not only for you but also so the Horsemen have to pack fewer boxes and we all get our figures that much faster.

No specific on-sale time or date has been mentioned for non-con-goers, other than it will be after the convention closes on Sunday.  Stay tuned for more!

NYCC to Get Power Lords Exclusive - But What?

Coming to New York Comic Con, and confirmed at Source Horsemen, will be an unknown Power Lords item. It should be for sale at the Onell Design booth #102.  I don't know what it is - I would assume it's a recolor of Ggripptogg, but this is based on nothing.  It could be more Power Soldiers, which would be nice as those are great figures.  More as we have it!
