MOTU

[Felix]

Sundar comes with four heads, but none of them are the classic Horde Trooper helmet. He has the monster head (lame), the mohawk (actual character head) and a Marine Horde Trooper head, and another one with black eye visors. The guy that made the design wanted to include a standard Horde Trooper head, but he left Mattel and Mattel screwed it up.

Super7 should be able to make more Horde Troopers since the Evil Horde fall under the MOTU line and not Princess of Power. I doubt I would army build them, but I would like a couple. I prefer actual characters for troops though since there's just so many. I already feel I have enough of an army with the Snake Men and regular villains.


Only ones from that particular Fwoosh list I would really want are the Twiggets. I do like Kothos, The Kex Queen and Sharella too.
Not on this list but the Hawk girl needs to happen, and the female Orko too :-)

[Bravo]

Those were on Fwoosh's previous list (page 3 of this thread?). This is their second.

I had to watch a couple of She-Ra episodes...the Moleg..."Golem" backwards. REAL CLEVER, FILMATION. She-Ra turns her into a human at the end, because being a mud/sewer monster isn't good enough. And the False-Face guy...or was he on the first wish list.

Surprised they didn't repaint the Snake-Men warrior 2-pack for a something-exclusive.

Surprised I pay attention to a line I own nothing from. LOL.

[Felix]

Well, I'm glad I have someone to talk to about it. I can't register on the .org forums because apparently my email account isn't worthy enough. So stupid. I bet the Snake-Men two pack also pop up again. It's a good set, but only one of them is done really well.

Speaking of clever filmation, Orko's name was something else originally, but they called him Orko so they could use the "O" on his chest and just reverse/flip the film cell.

I kind of want to get all the dvd's and watch the episodes from the beginning. It's hard for me to watch any old cartoons though anymore. Even G.I. JOE, I tend to fall asleep after the intro's, lol :-)

I'm excited to get Anti-He-Man, I have one I got off ebay a while back, but it's the only figure I wanted to keep on the card. So, I'll finally be able to open one up.
It's really tempting me to customize Castle Greyskull into Castle Hellskull. I would paint the castle parts black, with some lava running around the cracks at the bottom, and paint the skull white with black eyes....maybe install a red light to make the eyes glow.

[Felix]

Okay, my order arrived today, dang what a big haul! I spent the day opening stuff up, felt like Christmas lol!

First up, the ROTON!
Big vehicle, has a cool flight stand, looks like a good adversary to the Point Dread Talon Fighter. I probably should have waited around for like a year, I'm sure this will end up on sale somehow. It doesn't feel "worth every penny to me", even though it's a very well done toy, just too expensive. The figure that comes with it, "Skelcon" is pretty cool. I can see why people want two of them, they are army builder type figures. I remember always seeing two or three appear at a time in the mini-comics. However, it's not a figure I feel like I need multiples of. I doubt I would get another Roton even if I catch it on sale. I got this thing for Hordak, the bummer is his cape keeps him from sitting in it, so I may need to get another Hordak, just so I can cut the cape off.

Next up is Anti-He-Man! I finally got to open one of these up. Just a cool concept, a great looking figure. I still think he's too black with the boots and the loin cloth the same color as his skin, it seems off. I will paint those parts a darker red than his hair. That will mirror the real He-Man better since he has blonde hair and brown boots and loin cloth. Definitely glad I didn't try to army build on this (although you could), he's just an awesome stand alone character, I do feel like multiple figures would quickly take away the magic of it.

Clamp Champ! I'm going to give him He-Man's web gear (I've got an extra set that came with the Green Goddess). Decent figure, without the stupid weapon clamp he comes with. Interesting to note his loin cloth would be perfect for Anti-He-Man. I would probably just switch it out, but I want to paint Anti-He-Mans boots too.

Gwildor! The only movie based figure I have. He's pretty cool, comes in a surprisingly big box because of the time travel accessory. Not sure if I'll just keep him as is, I kind of want to customize him into the D&D cartoons Dungeon Master. All he really needs is a Yoda head and a paint job. It wouldn't be exact, but could pass as close enough.

Weapons Rack! Got two of these. Nice accessory items for $10 a pop. A better way to store gear than in a bin. I didn't realize how popular these were till after I ordered. The red weapons actually have REALLY nice paint on them and don't look cheap (surprise!). The laser rifle is really cool, will be nice to be able to give a couple guys guns down the road if I want. I always liked that gun as a kid, reminded me of the standard Cobra Trooper laser rifle in the cartoon.

Panthro: Haven't opened him yet, just did a quick inspection, looked okay. Had some minor paint blemish on his face! But not too bad. Still, these things should be flawless for the price.

Horde Wraith: I like figures like this, harder to mess up with less detail. I got two of them, only had time to inspect them, they looked good. A lot of fans picked up three because I guess that's how many were in the cartoon. Meh. two's more than enough for me, just want them as guards/servants to stand side by side with Shadow Weaver.

[Bravo]

I don't remember Skelcons at all. But I wasn't familiar with Auntie He-Man, either. Not that there's anything wrong with either.

Waiting for clearance/sales can backfire.

The non-removable capes are a bummer.

Clamp Champ without the clamp is Clamp Chump! That's like Man-At-Arms with no arms! LOL

There's only like 3 movies figures because of rights issues...right? I never cared too much for them but I never owned Blade, only a used Gwildor without his doohicky and Saurod with broken legs and missing accessories.

[Felix]

I remember Skelcons from the mini-comics. I wanted them as a kid just because I was more into the comic aspect then. Now days I'm just like, "Sure, he's cool".

I never heard of Anti-He-Man till he was announced. Just thought he looked really awesome and I love the packaging. It's one of the very few toys I want to keep on the card, so I had to get two. On the back of the card it actually says his phrase is, "By the power of Hellskull, I have the power!" I just think that's so awesome. Never something that would have been released in the original line, it's just incredible to me to see something like that in this line, even now.

I'm changing Clamp Champs name to He-Bro. He's He-Man's adopted brother :-)

Movie figures, let me think....Saurod, Blade, Gwildor...yeah I think only three....and I do believe it's because there are rights issues to the movie. However, that may change with the license going to Super7. I guess there's a lot of bad blood between people involved in the movie and Mattel, from what I understand anyway. I liked the movie when it came out, probably would seem more like an episode of MST3K to me now. I was glad they didn't have Orko in it. The hover-boards, lasers, time/dimension travel, all cool stuff.

[Felix]

Hordaks cape...you can remove it, but it's attached to the cowl around his head, so that goes off with it. I tried it that way, and it works. Hordak is now operating the Roton like I wanted :-)

Still, I may go and order another Hordak before the sale is over so I can just cut the cape off of one.

[Felix]

I'm really excited about this



super7hq.com/news/new-masters-of-the-universe-classics-figures-revealed

The others I don't really care about....cool, get to save money. I just don't know the other characters at all. Lodar's head would make for a good Sub-Zero or Scorpion MK custom...but there's tons of those figures out there already.

[Bravo]

Insert Fangor Bangor joke! Is he a new character or a new comics character? Not too bad. It's nice they are doing New Adventures characters still. And mini-comics Lodar, whom I remember.

So Hawke has the alternate head Delora. Nice.

[Felix]

I had to look up Lodar, I totally remember him now from the mini-comic, those epic chains

[Bravo]

Yeah, they accidentally called him Zodak when writing the comic, then someone remembered Zodac existed and they half-assed changed the word balloons to come up with "Lodar"

[Felix]

Wow, lol! That's pretty bad

[Felix]

So, the Mythic Legions 2.0 kickstarter is live...



This time it's mostly females, pretty cool stuff. From bottom to top of their list....

Jjuno the Crusher is my favorite, she looks better than Teela, has the Red Sonja vibe going for her.

Malachi, evil blue elf dude...I like it.

Queen Urkza, Green female orc, she looks awesome

Faunus, tree knight? Pass.

Orc Legion Builder, another female orc, but with more armor, I like it.

Knight Builder set...meh.

Gadriel, black female knight, with wings! I'm not a real big fan of this style, but she does look nice.

Delphina, female Knight Templar...looks good.

Shadow Elf, another dark blue elf...this one seems bland.

Gryshaa, everything looks great, except the helmet, it's like a big WTF?

Vampire Knight, pretty evil looking. The purple highlights ease a little away from it, but I'll probably pass. Too dark.

Myria, green skin She-Elf. I love it, but....too bad she's got green skin. Elves with green skin start to get confusing with Orcs with green skin. Probably too much likeness with the elf from The Hobbit movie.

Hagnon, ghost knight? Probably a pass...unless it glows in the dark.

B'Alam, a knight with a leopard head...weird, I like weird, and if I can line a character up with Greek Mythology, Egyptology, Hinduism, Roman Empire, Mongols, or anything from the Mid-evil era, it interests me...not sure where this fits in though lol!

Lord Aydon = Lord Elron from LOTR or any standard elf really. Looks really really good.

Boarrior, A dwarf boar? Cool!!!

Lucretia, damn they make some evil looking villains! I'll probably pass, just too dark. I like the Skeleton soldiers and orcs.

Calavius, a nice Gladiator for the Arena of Sport!

Gwedolynne, hot female knight. Sold.

Iron Knight & Steel knight...they look good, but kind of bland compared to everything else...but realistic.

Vampire Legion Builder, Dark, but not too dark...maybe....probably not.

Elf Legion Builder, black elf...in gold armor. Pass.

[Bravo]

Gryshaa's onion head is awesome!

Sexy midriff baring Orc army builder girl!

Yeah, green skinned Elves ain't right.

Leopard head...yeah, goofy. Maybe because he has no other visible cat-like features.

[Felix]

Leopard Man needs a tail...at least.

Man, they're going nuts with this kickstarter and just keep adding more stuff.

Azza Spritbender, blue skinned female witch? This one looks amazing.

Freyja of Deadhall, female barbarian queen? Looks pretty good, nothing really jumps at me like I need to have it though.

Weapons packs for elves, dwarves and knights have been added.

A bronze armored Dwarf is next to unlock.

What amazes me is that there is no official media for this line, but they're pumping out original characters & army builders faster than the big companies. I also love that they aren't afraid to release females.
