MOTU Origins Demo-Man

A day later and it is still up.
What is going on Mattel? Did you sell less?

Did you produce more? why now, so late in the line?

Its so sad we never get insight to these things.

I don't think Mattel produced more figures. Either folks are becoming less interested in general or this isn't a popular character. I was on the fence buying Demo-man from the beginning because I don't have any nostalgia, nor did I know who he was before research. The reason why I'm even replying to this is because I've been a long term buyer and want to share my purchasing experience for other fans of this series. I want to help make sense of this sale from my perspective. My usual familiarity with MOTU drops are nail biting and a lengthy wait in line to confirm it made your shopping cart. Two Bad is a good example. They sold out within minutes and the wait time to see it hit your cart was so scary. Demo-Man went through the ordering process so quickly without a hitch that I knew it was not a popular item. How do I know I was correct? He's still not sold out, and believe me they did not produce too many figures. Mattel is not giving us the rest of the figures we want and just keeps extending the Origins line for profit

OK, the figure is neat and all, but where is the Demo-Man mug and tote on the Mattel Creations store?  How can I possibly get groceries properly without a Demo-Man bag?  I want the fear and chaos of Demo-Man to hold my bread and juice close during checkout.

But, I guess this makes sense.  He's not as popular with the kids as the characters on the previously released mugs and totes. 😔
Rio Blast better have a mug though!!

I agree about the tote. Finally a character obscure enough to deserve a tote portrait in my opinion. I enjoy seeing the ‘what the heck is that’ look on people’s faces sometimes and I think a Demo-man tote would’ve been amazing for that.

When did he sell out? My page says buy now but when I click it says sold out

Demo-Man came.  He's great!  I can't wait to use him.

must be great.....🙄
people not in the US have to wait weeks if not months before mattel realises we excist and starts shipping  

Everytime it's the same thing with Mattel Creations.

@Mattel Creations 

Could you please release european orders from wharehouse so it can start shipping?
For some reason processing and shipping take at least a month each for customers outside of the US.

Mattel creations already does some strange things with the taxation, shipping rates and currency conversion.
A 20 dollar figure shouldn't cost 42 dollars when the euro is worh more than the dollar. 
Customers should at least get equall treatment for paying more than double the amount. Yet every time we order from mattel creations, people in europe get their products monts after the US.

it has been 9 days since i ordered the figure, it still hasn't been released from the warehouse while lots of people people in the US already have theirs in hand.
What is going on @Mattel @Mattel Admin @Mattel Creations @CM Dom

Every time we order, it takes a month to release and a month to 6 weeks to get from the US to Europe.

Your choice of shipper (and it's shipping rates) is questionable but why do people in Europe have to wait so many weeks before it gets released from the warehouse?
It isn't an issolated occurance, it keeps happening.
