Since I was born in the 70's, I have to leave? Get off my lawn.
I'm right there with you as well. Although 70's I consider Star Wars territory...

Marzo and Carnivous are just as detailed,if not more...not following you there....they are making 200x characters in the new "classics" style bucks
Sub members already have theirs in hand and have theirs already coming..... no stress on the 16th for us
i'll be sleeping on the 16th.
in fact i think i'm gonna take a nap right now.
Moss Man's head was not based on the 200X design, it was a non angry version of the vintage head. The only figure that really had a true 200X style head as a second head was Whiplash. So we aren't really breaking a trend. We've only had one example of this so far.
Moss Man® also comes with an alternative 2002-inspired head designed by the Four Horsemen.
They're also contradicting themselves about their past releases saying that Whiplash is the only release that had a 2002 inspired head.

is not having 200x heads really that upsetting?
This is the line we should of gotten in 2002 to begin with....I really doubt people are gonna stop buying the hottest internet toy property going right now
to each their own i guess. i'm totally happy with the line aside from the quick sellouts and the WSOD. i say keep doing what they're doing and i'll keep buying. but i am running out of space.
since i'm using the smiling sculpt on my Adam figure i decided to use the other head on my original he-man. i think the paint looks the best of any he-man head we have gotten so far.
THANK YOU! let's move on people.
Maybe in 20 years Mattel can do a MOTU-200XClassics line, but for now this IS the MOTUClassics and it's the best toy/collectors line hands down.

We're not saying there won't be second heads, just that we won't be doing a second head purely as a nod to the 200X design because that design/interpretation is retired.
We will still do lots of characters with a second head when there is a compelling reason to do so.
I agree with this...Buzz-off,Grizzlor,King Hiss dont need 200x heads for a vintage styled body
Actually according to Toyguru at Mattel, "the line is about all things MOTU from all eras". That includes 200X, but everything is sculpted in the classic style rather than what they like to call anime (which they need to stop). Which is why we got Marzo, Zodak, alt head Moss-Mann, and will continue getting more 200X characters in the future.

Currently there are no plans to tool this second face as we are moving away from the 200X inspired heads in the Classics line. But it might be "possible" we could refresh Grizzlor with this second face one day in the far future if the 200X look comes out of retirement.
But don't look for anything in the immediate future.
We sincerely regret that this image went to Toy Fare magazine and all the confusion this has caused. Grizzlor was shown at SDCC as final and we hope all of the posting today have cleared up any confusion
Maybe were not getting the 2 heads because Mattel knows they can pump out more figures by doing individual figures like for example- a vintage buzz-off and a 200x buzz-off....like Craw said,
maybe the Suits want to up the ante in character selection and force people to buy most characters twice? so eventually Kuzeh you'll get your 200x Grizzlor with that face/loin cloth...I dont know,who knows with these greedy corporate bastards? I am sure we all can agree that MOTU Classics is the best line going right now and its likely sticking around for quite awhile..at least the 4 horseman confirmed that
