Party Stratos is another unforgivable example - all he needed to be accurate to the early mini comics was a new feather collar and belt...

He was not a good mini comic's Stratos but he was a good Avion Warrior, as seen in the wave 4 mini comic.

I personally refer to him as Speedo Stratos

Party boy Stratos 

Bachelorette party Stratos 

Chippendale Stratos 

Naked Stratos

Plucked Stratos 

 

He's got lots of fun nicknames.

Huricane Hordak sneek peek. Looks like he'll have an elbow!

@kraken they don't talk much, if at all and 3 out of 4 of them seem to like me.

Admittedly, Hurricane Hordak is one I'd be okay with sacrificing articulation and modability to keep the action feature. Probably won't happen, but I'd be more eager to get one if it did.

But he can have both.

That's probably now the third different aesthetic for that figure from official pics... Why can't Mattel hire somebody with a clue?

I really like that armour, but I don't want to buy a lame vintage retread just to get it.

Is it just my figure specifically or does anyone else's original 2020 toy based Teela have a loose arm that can keep popping off? Bought it off eBay a month ago MIB. Maybe it's because she's been in MIB for 5 years? Still a good figure when I'm not trying to pose her too much. Anyone recommend I should get a new one that hopefully doesn't have the same problem?

If they wanted a 2-pack of THE OG He-Man and Skeletor figures, only 5 points of articulation, like to how Hasbro on occasion rereleases various G1 Transformers figures (except Megatron for obvious reasons), why is Skelly a variant? What's even more confusing is that some images, both pictures and promotional images contradict whether he is or isn't.

I've had loads of Origins figures like that, there's no rhyme nor reason I'm afraid!

Fully agree, he isn't one thing or the other!

I number of Instagram post showing Hurricane Hordak...

I'm not a fan of the "Punk Rock" head, at least not for Hordak.

@smitty-81 I think it's way more badass looking than his silly vintage head.

@durendal I think you're wrong about the vintage head being silly.

Agree the new head is badass. Don't agree the og is silly.

The only reason I will buy this is for that new head. Well played, Mattel.

@smitty-81 Funny thing, I think future MOTU media should really have new characters that should be wacky and weird in concept in this mainly fantasy world of which the franchise really hasn't embraced since the 80s, yet characters you come to unironically like. Characters like a big bee guy, a ninja, a skunk, a robot, a guy who can extend his neck, a guy with three faces, etc. etc. It's a thing that makes the franchise so unique.

 

I bring this up because I think one of these new types of characters should be a punk rocker warrior, preferably on Skeletor's side. They haven't done a character like that have they?
