Power Lords Figures Sell Out Quick – More Incoming!

Posted on September 17, 2013 at 5:18 pm by Tony_Bacala under General Toy News

This past weekend, and Monday night, the Four Horsemen released the first of the Power Lords 3.75 Inch figures – Power Soliders and Elite Power Soldiers. There were 125 at Powercon, which sold out in under 40 minutes, and 125 for the web via StoreHorsemen.com which sold out in 4 minutes! In order to fulfill demand, the Four Horsemen will be re-opening pre-orders for the figures on Thursday for 72 hours. Any pre-ordered during that time will be produced and should arrive in November. Check out the full statement from the Four Horsemen after the break.

POWER SOLDIERS RE-UP!!

As you may know, the recent releases of our Power Lords: Power Soldiers and Elite Power Soldiers were far more popular than we were expecting and not only did the allotted amount of 250 pieces sell out at the 2013 Power Con in less than 40 minutes, but the 250 pieces that we had set aside to sell on Store Horsemen sold out in less than 4 minutes. Needless to say we were stunned and had a tough time managing the traffic that hammered our online store in that few minutes. So much so that we had accidentally taken orders for over than 200 more pieces before we had the chance to put all orders on hold to check the order amounts versus the amount we were actually going to have in stock. Even then we realized that there were MANY other fans that still wanted to get their hands on these figures, but for one reason or another weren’t able to.

We always want fans who want our toys to be able to get them if we can help it. This time we can…

We’re going to put these figures back up for pre-order for those of you that missed out, and you’ll have 72 hours beginning Thursday, September 19th at 3:00pm to place your pre-orders. We’ll then run however many orders for each figure that we get during that time period. Once the sale ends, the ability to get those two figures ends. These figures will have stickers on the outsides of their poly-bags which will be numbered #251 and up (the figures that have sold so far are numbered 1 to 250) and will be placed into orders randomly.

We’ve been told by factory representatives that we can have this new pre-ordered run of Power Soldiers & Elite Power Soldiers in our warehouse by mid-November. As soon as we receive them, we’ll immediately begin processing them and shipping them out to customers.

For those of you who have already placed an order through Store Horsemen – some of you were able to order successfully and you were able to purchase one of the 250 pieces that were available. You’ll know who you are when your account is charged later today or tomorrow. For those of you that were able to mistakenly place orders after we’d sold out of our original stock, your orders will still be honored and your account will be charged, but you’ll also receive an email stating that your order will be put on hold, has now become a pre-order and that the figures will ship out to you as soon as they arrive in our studio warehouse. If you’d rather not wait to receive your figures, we’d understand and we’ll be glad to cancel your pre-order and refund your money if you request for us to do so.

Thursday, September 19th at 3:00pm to Sunday, September 22nd at 3:00pm. http://www.StoreHorsemen.com/. Power Lords. Power Soldiers & Elite Power Soldiers. Get them before they retreat into Volcan Rock forever.

    Glad to hear it. I think 4H may want to reconsider retail, or at least a much larger production runs for their Con and online supplies.

    Personally, I'd love a full-on revival of the the property, but I know it's in 80's niche territory. So the chances of there being enough support for that are slim to none.

    This was a "shared" exclusive between their online store and the con. Sort of beckons to the Entertainment Earth/BBTS shared GI Joe packs.

    They definitely were way off the mark with their expectations on sales. I think they based them off of their other lines but they missed some key points.

    1) They were selling Troops. Troops bring out troop builders. I myself bought 5 (their max) of each for that reason.
    2) They are interchangeable with other Glyos figures (sort of like Iron Man Assemblers but with, y'know, actual articulation <-suck it Hasbro)
    3) They are 3.75" so buying multiples doesn't clog the shelf.
    4) The exclusives are in great color schemes (Black and White troops).
    5) Figs are $10 each, which these days is considered reasonable (which is kind of scary but I digress)

    So when they announce they were selling 125 figs at con and 125 at Store Horsemen you had to figure they wouldn't last more than 4 minutes (hell with a max of 5 that could sell out in the first 25 buyers).

    I bought the figs not because I am a Power Lords fan (in fact, while I had the Mosquito looking bad guy as kid I never found them interesting) but a GI Joe/MU fan and these figs scream custom and army builder.

    If the fig had been an Alien with the 4 arms or the giant goofy head I think you would still be able to buy one now.

    My guess is that in the end the 4H crew realize this and produce a ton of variant Soldier and Elite Soldiers in different colors. Smart move would be for them to gear new figures in the line to this model as well so as to maximize sales (like the Horde troopers in the He-Man Classics line).

    As for the rest of the "non-exclusive" line I plan to buy more troops and elites and maybe an Adam Power or three for customs and leave the giant goofy alien guys on their website to collect dust.
