Fresh off the production line, I was lucky enough to build one of the first copies of ''Panthor at Point Dread''. The set includes 557 pieces, so it took about an hour to build. It includes Point Dread, which can be attached to the top of Castle Grayskull's tower (using parts included), the Talon Fighter and a weapons rack. Zodac and Panthor make their debut in Mega Construx form. Skeletor is also donning his brand-new Battle Armor and the Sorceress is sporting her ''Temple of Darkness'' colors. It will be available this Summer (some websites have started pre-orders). The suggested retail price is 49.99$US.
Some behind the scenes info: We included Battle Cat’s helmet as a bonus part. This particular helmet is not something Panthor wears in Masters lore, but we had an opportunity to include it in the set, so we thought some fans would get a kick out it. We were super happy to include Zodac in the set. He was a logical choice given his link to Point Dread in the early mini-comics. Also, we wanted to finish off the original 8 figures (Merman is coming soon in the Roton set). Point Dread itself is built using all the same building techniques as Castle Grayskull. The design team made sure the two work together stylistically. Lastly, for anyone wondering why the weapons are blue, it is not an accident. For one, we thought blue weapons were a fun addition to the arsenal and we hope to release them in multiple colors in the future. Also, for production reasons, we could not include Stinkor’s blue shield with the upcoming single-carded figure. His shield shows up here, we wanted to make sure it is available somehow.
