Masters of the Universe Classics

[Rotfish]

Keep in mind that BA He-Man has silver painted abs, and possibly an entirely silver torso. Not sure about the upper part, but the abs are definitely silver. Just an FYI.

Ah... well, I guess that breaks the deal for me. It also crossed my mind to grab the two TRU sets (and sell the DC Universe stuff), but the lack of a havoc staff for Skeletor is a bit of an issue too. Guess I'll just keep on the lookout for some loose MOTUC then. Seems to be my best bet.

 

[Kuzeh]

Oh Snap!!!
I forgot about that... yes... BA He-Man has silver torso...
I had a Regular He-Man for sale last week, but sold it...

 

[Mesa]

i was bored this weekend so i gave my extra skeletor a little "hyper anime" detail.

Worth relinking.

What's the story on this sword? That's not a modded matty motuc sword is it? Great paint detail on the staff.

Good job.

And I need to see these pics on a monitor to see the hood/head others have mentioned

 

[Mesa]

On second close inspection, that skeletor fuggin' rocks.

That's a TRU Skelly, no?

I may open my extra pack and do the same.

Still wanting to know about that sword, it's awesome.

 

[Rotfish]

Okay, here's a shot out of a cannon. Would anyone buy a loose Lex Luthor and Superman at $15 + shipping each? I can include both comics too.

I'm just wondering whether I should just get the TRU sets, keep the He-Man and Skelly, sell the others, then buy a Weapons Pak for that extra feeling of completeness (still doesn't come with a Havoc Staff, but the Mighty Sword of Power would look great with He-Man).

it's the re-release skeletor with a custom filmation head. staff painted by me. the swords are just from a 200x skeletor but repainted by me.

This entire thread is making me want to get these figures... at least the main characters. The 80's He-Man series was almost a decade before my time so I grew up with the 2002 revamp, but these figures look pretty damn cool.
The poseability in that Skeletor review looks surprisingly good too. I'm a sucker for modernized ankle and neck ball joints. Didn't expect to see that in such a line. Lo and behold, they did it. Sweet.

I do always find it very interesting when I hear folks growing up with the 2002 MOTU.
I wonder how different your view of the brand is compared to those od us who grew up with the 80's version.

If and when you get any Classics, I would like to hear what you think about em.
Ever read the original DC comics or brave the original TV show?

Extra weapons pak for sale if you need one Blade, I have too many of them. MIB.

If not all good

Same here

 

[DPrime]

yes it was painted but i might reseal it. some of the paint is rubbing off underneath from rubbing on the figure's neck. it's high quality though. well worth the money.

Cool - is it cast in that same sort of rubbery plastic the regular ones use?

I think I'll miss out on September's non-sub figure too, that's what I think.

it isn't anything...its just a BIG Sale on probably a bunch of crap, overstocked items

 

[Animal Mother.]

Yeah, what Teemu said. MAYBE with some very limited, left over Customer service stock of a few older figures.

I've certainly braved the original show. I liked the 2002 one more. There just seemed to be more to it for me. Having that said, the figures that came out of the modern version really weren't that great. Good character designs, but I hated the blocky-looking stylized muscles and lame poseability. These MOTUC seem like they make great figures, so I'm hoping I can at least pick up a couple to get a feel for the line.

Well at least the 2002 show didn't tell how you should cross the street I suppose!

In my opinion, MOTUC are the sign best action figures on the market.

Yea they were blocky and I can see that today, but being 1982 there was nothing like em back in the day. Today everything has 100 different points of articulation and we are in gods heaven for action figures.

I'd think that G.I. Joe was probably one of the only figures that started us off with battle grip versions (1983)

 

[Rotfish]

lol, the 2002 designs were pretty good. I just hate when they add those blocky stylish cartoony details to actual figures, though. Makes them look less serious.

MOTUC look cartoony, no doubt, but there's a better reason for it. In fact, that's the point. Plus, you'd think on a figure like the one above, you'd at least get poseable knees and elbows, but it didn't happen. I'd just like to have some good solid He-Man figures and it looks like these are the ones.

they already revealed it at comic con.

 

[Rotfish]

Aw, still no havoc staff. At least the new Mer-Man armor looks good.

Cool skeletor is the head fully sculpted or is based of another head??
