Say what you will about how goofy he might appear, I wouldn't want to wake up on a table and see a guy dressed like that looking down on me. Sheer panic would set in and frankly the last thing I would wonder is... why he isn't wearing a shirt. I was never a fan of Mindbender as a kid but I can't wait toget his figure! Even have looking forward to the possibility of a Serpentor, another figure I hated but now eagerly want.

I don't know if it is just me but I do not like this Mindbender. Yes it is like the vintage one which normally I would support but with this particular character I never liked the original.
It is more an outfit thing. I like the heads sculpt and the monocle but the bare chested steel mankini look is not great. At least put some sort of shirt on him or go the full mad scientist look with a white coat etc. Sorry Hasbro I know we made you change from the futuristic look to more traditional but this one does not work for me. I may be in the minority. And regarding the look of Mindbender, I also have zero interest in a 6 inch version of the vintage figure. I really think Hasbro took a huge step backwards regarding the look of the figures. They were on a role with figures like Zartan, Major Bludd, Cobra Viper, Commando Snake Eyes, etc. But making all the Classifieds into exact copies of the vintage is a very bad decision. So now what is the point of the Retro 6" collection? Is it just for the cardback? What would've been smart is keep the course with the Classified figures, with modern (but vintage inspired) version of the characters. The 6" inch Retro collection would be perfect for those people who just want vintage copies of the figures but in 6 inch form. You need to separate these two lines not mixed them together. Maybe I'm in the minority here, but this is just how I feel, and because of this I have no interest in collecting Classifieds anymore. I'm a lot more excited for lines like Action Force and Callsign: Longbow.

It says a lot about this hobby that a 90 minute purchase window is something to be optimistic about.

I'm very enthusiastic about this release... Dr. Mindbender was one of my favorites in the cartoon.😀✌️

the deluxe Zartan was available for at least 30 minutes AFTER the pulse premium window. So if you don't have pulse Premium you will probably have a chance.
But then again, Zartan was a redeco of an already good figure. Maybe people didn't need him and passed him up. So Mindbender might sell out faster if Hasbro doesn't have another release already line up. But then again again.. he will probably be 45 bucks and Im sure plenty of people will laugh at his price. So maybe he will be available longer ? Some of the toys are better now but modern times suck. I liked the past when I could still get a book, DVD or toy a few months after release. Product availability measured in minutes is rubbish.

I dunno guys I don't think he's going to be an SDCC/Hascon exclusive. I won't go into my thoughts why but hope we'll find out soon either way!

One of the best reasons to get Mindbender is not just the great box but the little numbers distributed in the upper right hand corner. 2/√(0)x7 = Infinity Guess the Classified series will last "to infinity and beyond".

Might explain why we're seeing predorders scalped at 4-5x retail.

This Dr. Mindbender looks like a home run! I love it! True to the original but with Classified detail. Bring on Serpentor and Nemesis Enforcer!! <---- one of my all-time favorites!
Would you guys support a Haslab that was all characters? Like Golobulus with Pythona, Nemesis Enforcer, several Cobra La Royal Guard and maybe a killer diorama?? Or maybe Serpentor with his Chariot & throne!? |

I feel like the only way to release Serpentor, would be an exclusive. I mean, that's a figure begging for the treatment they gave Cobra Commander for his exclusive. |
