Besides the figures that have already been revealed so far, name one character that you:
a) would really want to get in 2014
b) think we will get in 2014

Tung Lashor... hmm... considering all the tooling we recently get and the fact that ONE Snakeman is coming in 2014, I'd say it will be Tung in 2014, because he is low on tooling. On the other hand he could be a sub lure for 2015...
Since most vintage collectors would love to see Tung-Lashor made in 2014, probably Mattel would push him back him to 2015, and give us Sssqueeze instead!
I'm ok with that, because even if the 2015 sub doesn't go through, I'd be 99% certain that they'd use Tung Lashor as one of the 2015 reveals to entice people to sub up in the first place. And if 2015 fails, at least we know they will make the already revealed characters before calling it quits....
I wish that would be the case, too, although I'm wondering if Mattel will feel compelled to play hardball with the sub exclusive next year and make it one of the vintage figures. He's definitely the figure I think I'm the most surprised we haven't seen yet.
I would love to see Eldor. I have kind of given up hope of getting him. He might be the con exclusive for next year but I kind of think that will be Lodar.
I really want, and think we will see Entrapta in 2014.
Another good call. I guess this is PoP's year after all

1.200X Evil Seed (maybe with Filmation Head/Cloak option that conceals his sculpt for the purists, but there is no way Scott would allow for that cost factor),
2. Tung Lashor
3. Dragstor.
4. Dylamug
5. Vultak
I honestly think any of those would be a hit, and I would take them all. Also, I would totally love the Kex Queen and buy her, but my tastes in obscure characters seems to go against the man in charge of character selection. I want a Kex Queen, but I'll probably get Random Eternian Villager complete with Bucket and Rock accessory.
Well, what do we have left? From what I can tell, it's two monthly figures and a quarterly, but I don't recall what price point is left for the quarterly figures.
Basing it on factions, I can say that we probably won't see another Heroic Warrior or Rebel--the line's been fairly heavy with them this year. Galactic Guardians and Space Mutants are similarly out. Powers of Grayskull gets its one representative with Eldor in October, so it's Snake Men, Evil Warriors and/or Horde for the last two slots. A Snake Man's been promised, probably Sssqueeze, since Tung Lashor is more likely being saved to drive 2015. So I'd say the last slot is a tossup between Ninjor and Dragstor, unless Neitlich pulls something out of left field again. Calix would fill the Horde slot and provide something for 200X--the question is, is Battle Lion considered "enough" 200X for the year?
Well we pretty much know Eldor will be the Oct figure. Nov and Dec will be Huntara and either Squeeze or Tung Lash or. We also have the $38 quarterly and the $35 holiday slot left, I'm personally hoping for Stridor or Night stalker as the quarterly and Sagitar as the holiday item.
Looking forward to ninjor must haves,... monster feet, ( it would be cool to get some five toe'd monster feet Alcala Skeletor style) TIGHT FITTING plastic top ( not fabric) two heads, masked and unmasked , and of course his aray of weapons
