Expensive cat house.
I never got the Origins Grayskull and when I see your Classics one...I mean, crap, man, why didn't they retool it for Origins, even at a higher cost.

Weight. The castle is very heavy, thick sturdy plastic.
Toy companies, like most companies cut costs where ever and whenever they can.
Classics Grayskull was originally $300 back in the day. I got it on sale for $99 plus free shipping! I was lucky, they sold out quick when they did that.
I was going to order a second one, and they were gone.
They just couldn't get rid of them at full price.
Crazy now, I bet most MOTU collectors would jump at that opportunity.
But that was many years ago.
I agree, a simple retool would have been ideal for Origins.
But look at the Netflix children's He-Man animated series Castle Grayskull...that one is big, has all kinds of play features, and BBTS can't get rid of them for $50.
They had to trim the size and weight down to make it cost effective.

Just to add a little on the same subject... I think a custom one is the only real way to go, if I am being honest. You just need to make it out of clay. It's a skull and some bricks guys. Custom can tower over anything official. Make the eyes glow red too. Give it a proper dungeon, well of souls, ect. This is more important to me than all the other crap they sell, lol. Plus, MOTU almost needs two differnt castle grayskulls, one for the cartoon and one for the mini comic. cartoon one has a huge skull, the size of the towers are opposite of the toy. It kind looks like it was built from the remains of a dragon, the colors seem more gray or purple...plus it has like six legs and a tail. Mini-Comic, appears more like the skull of a giant to me... has the towers the same as the toy, and is dark green. Overall shape of the castle represents the toy playset too. Tortuga Ninjas   |

Origins castle is very much in line with the figures, its classic children's toys pumped up a bit. Felix's castle is clearly more a collectors item.

Oh She-Ra Chilla was the PoP Frosta of my childhood. I like Jaga. Brian from Super7 was right. I saw an interview where he said, "yes, I want you to buy the whole set...I think when you get these (LJN) figures, your going to be surprised." Jaga pulled me back into Thundercats. So did Ro-bear-bil. Never thought an old cat man in a onsie would. The glow in the dark eyes don't really do it for me. It's a nice attempt, but they need actual "light up" eyes. That's the only minor complaint I have. I remember how scary Mumm-Ra was with red glowing eyes. And how magical it made Lion-O look. The glow in the dark eyes are okay...kind of acceptable for the toon figures...but the LJN ones need some real lights. |

Saw Viper toy did not live up to Saw Viper comic.
Closest cobra he resembles without his weapon is a tele-viper.
Kind of sad so many Joe's lives were ended by this dude.
The way he acts in the comic reminds me more of Metal Head.
