@caliban Perhaps a simpler solution would be picking up a second CC He-Man to put Kol-Darr's head and armour on that body!

The problem is no CC figure will ever be perfect. Trying to turn a collection of 2 dimensional drawings into a 3 dimensional and making it look exactly the same is impossible, especially at this small a size.

Mattel did get better at it with time. They should redo He-Man and Skeletor. People would buy them.

@durendal the armor from VC fingers won't fit on CC figures. 

@kraken they could but they'll never get it "prefect" with a drawing that's nearly impossible.  Maybe they could get Skeletor right by using a human skull as their starting point, but there will always be someone that will say the hood is wrong.

The main issue with the early CC’s is the color. They all have these really light, soft colors. They have finally fixed that with the the Webstor wave.

If they could run these figures with more saturated colors, that would help.

I like Skeletor though he looks a bit… bald? Something about the hood, yeah. He-Man is pretty much perfect for my taste.

I can’t believe we’re actually *asking* Mattel for repaints and re-releases lol

@cosmic CC Skeletor does look slightly off. The hood sits a bit too high, exposing too much forehead skull, which looks silly. The Super7 Filmation Skeletor remains the definitive version.

...The hood sits a bit too high...

See.

@smitty-81 Well it does. Look at the Super7 version.

@durendal I'm not saying you're wrong. It just that everyone has their own idea of what Skeletor should look like based on whatever episode they have the best memory of.

Got The Stranger Things Skeletor set after all, because I like the colors and the modified 1st release head (less crazy).

Also there is so little going on in the “Vintage Collection”, I needed something.

The freaky Demogorgon is cool, and I love the washes and colors on both figs. Muted, darker Skeletor looks great!

Quality lacks a bit, Skeletor sucks at holding his weapons, especially the sword. Joints are not great either. Different factory I guess!

Still a nicely designed exclusive. Will probably get He-Man / Vecna too. Good monsters for Skeletor to summon!

They moved production from China to Vietnam sense the line started. 

@smitty-81 Good.

@durendal not really. I've noticed a small dip in quality. And I don't think working conditions are much better.

Not sure when the change happened, but at some point they had figured it out and they had all pretty good joints. Fan Favorites, CC and Turtles seem to be ok, but the “Vintage line” exclusives that *don’t* come from Creations are hit and miss.

My Screech Skeletor is a bobble head, Lord Gr’Asp is pretty loose all around, Stranger Skeletor had frozen knees and can’t hold the sword, Demogorgon’s arms are already loosening,… Reptilax is great though.

CC joints seem pretty good all around, the ones I have. Quite tight. I was impressed with the new buck. The ToG, the handful that I have are ok-ish. Could be tighter but not bad.

@smitty-81 I'm just saying de-coupling from China must be a priority for the West. Vietnam is a far lesser evil.

I gotta agree with @durendal dude. I am sure we can find a crappy cel that matches any crappy version of cartoon Skeletor figure they put out but the Super7 one matches the good shit that Filmation would use over and over again to save cash. The Mattel cartoon figure was good too but I remember Super7 improved it somehow but I can't remember how.

@kraken idk. Everyone has their "ideal" look for any character but you do make a good point about using the right piece of animation to use when making an action figure.

Just throwing it out there that there is a MOTU drop on 10/1 according to EE's 'drop zone'.  

@depp76 GELDOR?!?!?!?!?!

@durendal Geldor is a MC release. It could be a CC figure. It didn't make sense that there were only three figs in She-Ra's cross sell art instead of four. Maybe the Klops said fuck your wave She-Ra I'm going rogue.🤣

@kraken it could be the full wave, or any of the timed Walmart exclusives.

@admin Mmmmm look at those succulent lips. 🤣

I’ve said it before, but the fact that face and visor look a bit strange and different, makes me want to get him actually lol

I don’t really need a figure that looks pretty much like the vintage design

If I hold that figure outside my car window will this happen?🤣
