I think it's just hard for people to give "credit" to someone who has a proven track record for being such a deceptive weasel. Yeah, he was there so I guess we really can't pretend he wasn't like some kind of history revisionist. Instead of giving him credit, I would instead say he was "directly responsible" for many aspects of the lines produced by mattycollector. He really caused more harm than good so, giving him "credit" is too much of a stretch for some. I'd say the 4H and the fans deserve more credit for the existence of the line than anyone else.

I think it's more of a coincidence that we received so much from Mattel, and it just so happens Neitlich was there when it all happened. As I understand it. Mattel was ready to revitalize the 200x line with some new figures. That's when the 4H came in and showed off their prototype of He-Man in an ALL NEW classics style. With that said, It's very likely we could have gotten the classics line and many other products with a different brand manager. It would have been very different, but still in the realm of possibility. A brand manager can successfully do his or her job and make a toy line sell like hotcakes without turning everything into a shameless vanity project.

The entire american political system disagrees with you.

Yeah well, "these are just toys" in that regard.

Well I just received my Multi-Bot and Sssqueeze this morning.... shipping box completely crushed and both figure boxes crunched bad. Might as well open them because now I won't be able to get even close to at-cost recoup.

Does Digital River pay for returns back or is that all on me? If I have to pay for it it isn't worth anything.

UPS pays for the returns, as they damaged the items. Just call/E-Mail Digital River and let them know what happened, and DR will get your replacements sent out.

Not at all. My point was people are more than willing to believe any lies told them by deceptive weasels, if the weasel is charming and charismatic enough.

Agreed. However I do believe there are still people out there who are immune to the deception. Those people are usually branded as haters, trolls, "too negative", etc. when they express their viewpoints, but in all actuality are free thinkers and possess the ability to recognize when someone is full of shyte. There are drones, and there are rational thinking human beings.

Very happy to see Evil Seed and Calix look more like this…

Rather than this…

I don't think I'll understand how such an awesome toyline has such an angry fanbase. It suffered the same issue that any other major action figure series has but because if you only read the forums you'd think every figure released in the line was plagued with issues.

Speaking of this months figures, I thought I'd have no interest in Squeeze (as I really don't like the Snake Men) but he really is a fun "toy." Goofy as the arms are, they really are fun to fiddle around with. I suspect whenever I give these to my kids in the future he'll be a popular one. Multibot is cool enough but Im not really a fan of the whole "switch arms/legs" gimmick that he (and Modulok) had.

Hey guys. I'm new to the line, I apologize in advance because I'll probably ask some derivative questions. I know that can be frustrating but any help would be appreciated.

Besides ebay, where is the best place for motu classics? I've seen them on bigbadtoystore before.

Also, is it likely He-Man will be rereleased again? Should I just bite the bullet and pay the aftermarket price?

I have been selling some of the later MOTU Classics for great prices if you looking for them...do you have a list of who you're looking for?

As far as aftermarket prices,it depends on who you're looking for...someone like Fisto will stay his course on high price (not many out there)

If your a completest, I'd say don't even bother starting to collect these. If your easy to please and don't mind having whatever, I'd say go for it.

You might want to wait and see what Mattel has in store for 2016, we should be getting some info on that next month during SDCC.

Who's angry?

I don't think we'll see a new production run on the standard He-man figure since it took Mattel years to sell out of whatever astronomical number of reissues they produced. I would wait though because I would bet we'll see either a Filmation version or some variant close enough to the standard one that would be to your liking and probably cheaper.

Not a completionist. I'm looking for a few of my favorites, that's about it.

I did this with my Mosquitor....what a difference....it was VERY EASY to do! and poses even better now!

 

[FatHotei]

Oh good. I'd be interested in the following: he-man, skeletor, merman, beastman, king hiss, hordak (black or blue), moss man, trap jaw, ram man, man-at-arms, and probably some others. I'm not looking to buy ALL of those, but I'm interested in buying a few to fill out some space on my shelf next to my figuarts.

Edit: PMed you

 

[Kuzeh]

Yeah, no re-issue on the horizon for He-Man unfortunately...
I'd love it if they would release it with Oolarr's head or Vintage-style head... but not sure if that's an option...

And overall, seriously I don't get why people keep complaining about the line, compared to a LOT of other collector's lines, MOTUC has been a huge success and a very robust lineup!
Look what happen to the Ghostbusters line, or the DCU, or how about the Transformers Classics, or ThunderCats classics, heck, Ninja Turtles Classics... all are examples of how usually toy-lines work. We've been really fortunate to get this far! And it's all because of the fans! But some seem to have a love-hate masochistic approach to it...
I just like to enjoy this line and will be on for the ride for as long as it's possible! !

I have an extra SDCC Filimation Hordak if you're interested!
The others are pretty hard to come-by nowadays... particularly Beastman and RamMan...
I might have an extra MAA loose though...

Pmed you, kuzeh.

Digital River screwed me again; I have two subs but they only sent me one of each figue instead of two. I'm not even sure they sent me the right ones they did send;
Multi-bot
Angella
Sssqueeze
Blast Attack
and one Castle Greyskull map.

Can anyone let me know if I got the right figures?
