@mighty-thanos It still has some benefit– creating buzz AND showcasing some excellent MOTU books to their young, non-MOTU social media followers. It is kinda cute, the three of them with their books. ...

This is starting to look like a coordinated effort by the actors, to get us excited, and it is working! I do hope they are actually reading them!

@banthafett Thanks. Yeah Walmart is the worst in this regard. Those Collector Con items in May were sold out in seconds, and if you did manage to order, stuff is not coming when originally promised, b...

I have a fondness for M.A.S.K., definitely. We didn’t have GI Joe in Germany, so MOTU, Transformers, and MASK were my favorites. (Having lived in the US for over 20 years now, I’m still not interested...

@banthafett Interesting! I did just get my Krang, that I also ordered at the Collector-Con back in May, but Terroar has been delayed. Again. (Meanwhile, Lord Gr’Asp had arrived in June or July.) This ...

@durendal Yeah it’s a shame how all of that ended. He definitely accomplished a lot for MOTU. It’s just really interesting. Like others noticed, in the DK book, Classics just got one spread, or for ex...

@elder I did not love the Demo-Man / Skeletor mix in Classics, I hope they’ll move away from that in the Origins mini. In the announcement they hint at multiple stories… For Demo, or for Skeletor…? I ...

@chrisa I don’t know, like @durendal said, who would they think produced it then? Hasbro? 😏 I’m not in the camp of saying “oh everyone at Mattel is so incompetent!” I think sometimes there are reason...

@durendal Well that contradiction is appropriately vintage style lol I mean, in the vintage line, the feet were always dark blue like a boot, while the art often depicted him with bare feet. But I’m s...

@durendal Oh was it? Ok then it’s simple enough why they would say this.

“… Demo-Man has been made as a figure before, but not by Mattel – until now. Our version pays tribute to comics and concept art for the character. …” Interesting side note on the Mattel Creations Demo...

@chrisa I think this is the reason why Mattel doesn’t feature Classics prominently in promo materials, or in the book by DK… This makes the Classics arrangement seem unclear and unusual. If the brand ...

These are looking great! They have made improvements to that He-Man head, but it’s still not the greatest… I do like the ideas in the figure. Evil Lyn looks fantastic, so does Skeletor, and Fisto is r...

@mrhootiedean I’m not sure how “deep” Masterverse can go– it’s just not what the line seems made for. However, I am a sucker for the vintage look, and with the bigger chest, I am intrigued. I just fea...

@therealbatman I always confuse him with Vultak – but since we’re getting one, I don’t see why we wouldn’t get the other! Didn’t he have a pretty nice Classics figure? Or am I confusing the two again ...

Man, Masterverse Gwildor is smaller than I expected! He’s basically… vintage size?This two-pack is a slight rip-off, but I guess a lot of new parts… I’m glad I got it marked down. On the other hand, M...

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 desig...

That’s really fun to see! Not only do they do some enjoyable research, but they are also promoting (classic) MOTU to all their followers! 😃 That’s one Golden Book I still don’t have, but it’s been in...

Snake Sorceress Teela hit my Pile of Loot at BBTS (only one I pre-ordered). Mer Man and MoW are available now.

@alteredquantum They do release the occasional deep cut character, along with another Skeletor and another Teela… We had a Snout Spout, a Gwildor, Sy-Klone … and we are getting a Skelcon, and yes, NE ...
