but some people here, just like Mattel execs. DON'T get it...

 

[teemu]

you miss the point Teemu.

Right now, they're scrapping 200x heads for an unknown reason. Yes, we get that you hate 200x, And yes, it COULD be read that we're getting full 200x figures.

but what if that's not the case? what if this is some matty exec pruning parts he personally dislikes, just because?

What's next?

" i think Panthor looks too ghey becuase he's purple. this line has enough homosexuality in it, lets not release him"

" He-man should be wearing more clothes"

" randor looks too much like the burger king, AND i hate 200x, lets replace him with a chartreuse gorilla"

The point he's trying to make is that the upper exec's need to stop messing with the line, and just let it breathe. 200x did not fail becuase people didn't like it, 200x failed becuase management handeled the line poorly, and made bonehead decisions. It CAN HAPPEN AGAIN , so instead of screwing with it, Let TG, as brand manager, and the horsemen have free reign and the line will continue to be the liscense to print money that it already is.

I never said I hated 200x....the line is MOTU Classics! its based on the 80's vintage incarnations...the line didnt start out 200x...I know we are getting POP/NA/200X...I am cool with that...the crying about not extra heads is lame......the line doesnt need extra heads for it to sell out....the upper exec's know that....

I understand what the 200x fans want,but Toyguru has said it over and over to the fans...the designs are based on the vintage 80's toys....thats what you dont get!

go back and collect the 200x if your not happy with the classics line


the 200x fans are ____ting on the vintage style as far as I am reading on sites...requesting stupid things like a head band on a classic head Fisto....I want updated figures,with great sculpting and articulation,of the figures I grew up with!
its that simple

 

[Kuzeh]

Look Teemu... I've been patient enough with you... so I'll say it like it is... sorry if it's TOO HONEST, OK?

I ____ing love the MOTUC classics line...
I ____ing love the Vintage line...
I ____ing love the 200x line...

Toyguru has said before the Grizzlor head fiasco, OVER and OVER again to the fans that MOTUC will include ALL incarnations of MOTU... read lerath's quote from TG:

MOTUC contains figures from all areas of the MOTU world from the vintage MOTU, POP and NA lines to characters from mini comics, DC comics, 200X line and prototype art (i.e. Vikor). It is all things MOTU in one unified style which we call classics.

Stupid things to you are cool things to others... some elements of 200x figures look great on MOTUC
Just like cool things to you (like Giants, and fallen angels) are stupid to others...
Is that clear enough? Or do you want me to draw you an schematic?

What were talking about here IS MATTEL'S SUITS beginning to ____ up the line with their STUPID corporate decisions...

NOBODY here is saying we are not happy with the MOTUC line...
just saying that no Millennium style heads is a big step backwards that will alienate some fans...
Learn to read for ____s-sake!!!

PS. Stop ruining this thread with your ____ty attitude!!!

You're STILL missing the point, and now you're talking out your ass dude.
TG has said over and over what's in my signature.

this line is about ALL MOTU in every inception. vintage, 200x, She-ra, New adventures, etc. The designs have a distinctly vintage feel, but that's because it's an iconic version of the characters. they're not simply vintage versions of the characters with tooled up articulation.
It's a totally NEW style which is neither Vintage, nor 200x or any other. The " Classics" style.

You're getting the versions you want now, and you're happy. You don't want versions you don't like, that's cool too. But that is NOT what that letter is about. Yes, some hardcore 200x people are griping about the heads. to me, meh, i can go either way. in the case of whiplash, i prefer the 200x version. but that's not the point either.

The point the letter is trying to make is this" ok, so you've cut this, is this an indication that you're going to meddle MORE? if so, DON'T, you'll just ____ it up. "

LOL MOTUmind.

here we go, a likely post from it'salltrue in response to the letter.

Bravo… i agree on all points, and said similar things at the fanex board. the line is FINE… extra heads double sales… and that means that even people with the subscription, will give you more money, just for a second toy.

and I think the issue with whiplash, as opposed to, say, moss man, is that for mossy, they only tooled one new head… the other was a repainted beast man (as the classic version should be)… whiplash is 2 brand new heads, as well as a new torso, arms, legs, hands, feet, weapon and tail. I wouldn’t be shocked if “management” looked at the numbers, saw that they were either a higher than usual, or seriously pushing at whatever is deemed “acceptable”, then looked at this second, apparently unnecessary, head and said “why the hell is THAT there”.

the only argument being “to give fans of the newer series something too”, to which they would answer “no, they don’t need it, vintage is fine” and thus an edict is written, stupid as it may be. I can’t wait for the backlash to hit full stride… they were wise to not say anything at comic con, or they wouldn’t have been left alone…

I'm fine with dumping the 200X head variants, but those who are more into those than the vintage classics I do sympathize. I know we all want our MOTU the way we like. Hard to please everyone...

Who's excited about Chief Carnivous and/or Gygor?...

I'm still on the fence on Gygor... maybe if the colors were a bit more subtle... I don't know... the sculpt and accessories look great though...
They looked pretty sweet @ SDCC

please don't leave. i got your back. i'm all about the vintage look of the figures and find the 200x crossbreeding to be rather strange. 198x FTW. i mean look at the first post in this thread. those are the figures that brought us into this line in the first place. there was nothing 200x about them. don't know why all of a sudden it is evil not to include the 200x style.

198x MOTU !!!! FTW!!!

Yeah Teemu, don't be so down Charlie Brown. And Craw that is a badass pic, I really like Whiplash in all his whippyness. This is a call out to the MOTUC brethren...did everyone get a Whiplash?
