I'm curious how they would go about including that. Would they do the harness or just something for him to grab onto? How would it be anchored? I can't imagine id use it if it was included, but it would be a cool feature especially for the people with the room to use it I don’t know how they would design it, but it could surely be done. I did a quick Google search and saw zip line toys for Batman, Danger Mouse, and some doll named Goldieblox. 😅 Then this came up: It reminded me of something I set up and did with my old 12” Luke Skywalker figure way back in like 1978. I tied one end of some heavy string to the top of a bookcase, and the other end to the foot of a couch. I stood Luke up, and hooked his grappling hook to the string. He has his lightsaber in his other hand. I would bang on the shelf, causing the Luke figure to go off balance, and slide all the way down to where a 12” Stormtrooper was “standing unaware.” It was so satisfying when it worked smoothly, and Luke took down the Stormtrooper. 😅 Simple times for my simple 10 or 11 year old self. 😅 So, if I could do it back then at ten years old, Mattel had better do it better than my setup.  Id imagine the most cost efficient way to do it would be string with suction cups on the end which id imagine some people wouldn't be too stoked with. For aesthetic and budget reasons I have to assume they're not going to include the harness, probably just a handle, maybe with a hand molded onto it so there's no real risk of the figure falling |

I’d say it would have to have that accessory and feature. Otherwise, it’s not that special an exclusive, really. I'm curious how they would go about including that. Would they do the harness or just something for him to grab onto? How would it be anchored? I can't imagine id use it if it was included, but it would be a cool feature especially for the people with the room to use it Why don’t yall just ask the YouTuber that knows everything |

Besides it's fun to speculate |

So, just to be clear… The only information we have about the SDCC exclusive comes from Kyle Peterson. The only person who let us know Thursday is the date for the reveal is Kyle Peterson. The only person who has passed along some clues to get the conversation going is Kyle Peterson. …and I’m supposed to be upset… with Kyle Peterson? 🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐 I think there are people that are jealous of Kyle (his collection, free product, scoops, relationship with Mattel) and don't want to admit it. Then, there are people that are genuinely annoyed with the whole, "I know a secret but can't tell you" (but will post obvious clues as more people push/beg). And then I think it is a little of both for some people. With that being said, i feel some of the things being said and the tone about Kyle are going too far and veering into violating the rules of the board territory. It's one thing to post constructive criticism and opinions of his YouTube channel, but some of the comments are going further than that. I am surprised tho that he hasn't gotten into trouble with Mattel (assuming they are sending him early SDCC figures ahead of the announcement). He pretty much spoiled Ali last year and potentially HBK this year. So either Mattel has given him approval or he is going rogue. Bill went off on a mod here for lesser things (for posting stock photos that AMAZON posted before Mattel posted the picture reveals). |

Idk why people get on these boards to beat their chest because they know about a figure coming out. If you’re not going to say what it is, then don’t say anything at all, or in this case, use your YouTube channel to throw out hints for people to run on here and Twitter to post about it for your views. So damn petty I agree. He just comes across as attention seeking which for someone in their 40s come across as pathetic. It's a bit of a weasel like trait also "I know what it is, but im not saying it outright because I will get in trouble with the teachers and my privileges will get taken away" He spoiled the surprise for most of us anyway with his weasel behaviour. |

I suppose Shawn's zip line would be some variation of Motu Webstor's gimmick. Or possibly like the old Kenner Sky Commanders line.

Well hopefully the Zipline comment was just a reference at who it was and it's gonna be a 2017 SummerSlam hbk as Colonel Sanders. Because that's the only thing I can think of that he did that has crossover appeal and would fit well as a sdcc exclusive. A WM 12 hbk should just be a ultimate in the mainline or legends.

I live rent free in your head it seems very strange. You realize I could straight out spoil everything I could’ve done a video just talking about this for clicks however I put it in the middle of a video and didn’t even call it out in the description or thumb. I’m not going to get in trouble from anyone as I was not sworn to secrecy. I’m not on the inside of getting this information from Mattel like you think I am. If I was out for clicks, I would’ve done just a straight up video on it and shown pictures a week ago, but I did nothing of the sort. |

Ah...don't worry im sure you will do a straight up video as soon as it's revealed - with you front and center of the whole thing like usual with sample figure in tow. Can't help yourself. |

Well I hope the SDCC exclusive is HBK from WM12. Isn’t something I’m interested in which will save me the time and money. For those who want it that’s great. Just isn’t for me.

And you will be first to watch it obviously. Whether I am or not, im sure I don't speak for myself here, but the way you dropped these hints, it's given alot of us a 'glass half empty' feeling to the reveal. May as well have just spelled it out for us. Should just stick to your toy reviews and toy hunts, instead of implying that your 'in the know' with insider information. Will turn people against you if growing viewership on your channel is what you are looking for. |

Sir Paul is awesome. What a bunch of Veruca Salt’s here. “I want it now!” For YouTubers being people you can’t stand, you guys sure do watch them a lot.

This thread is starting to have the same vibes of my aunt ranting on facebook about girls these days posting selfies.
