Masters of the Universe Classics

Those are kind of cool, if they are somewhat easy to get, I'll try and score them!

The packaging is fun.

 

[DPrime]

Well damn if I don't want those. Hope they're relatively easy/cheap to get.

 

[xequae]

Those are pretty cool. If they are cheap and fairly easy to get I'll probably pick them up.

 

[evenflow]

I like them and am curious about the SDCC Skeleton store. I love the coin. Will have to try to get my hands on one.

 

[JonWes]

From what I've read, they are $6/pack. The flesh colored ones will be available at the Super7 booth, and the black colorway will be available at the Skeletor store.

 

[Kuzeh]

Mhmmmm... I like the black ones better

Just ordered Hordak and Battleground Teela. I'm crafting a more pre-filmation MOTU on my shelf in terms of tone and design. A savage land, where sorcery and the sword ruled, devoid of alter egos in lilac tights and prospering kingdoms with advances in high technology. This is a world of savagery and long forgotten sciences.

I might pick up the Goddess next. It's kinda dumb that she comes with He Man's axe, power sword, and techno vest, which to me seems like they exist to turn Oo-lar into He-Man, but even if I put those accesories on Oo-lar, he'll still be missing the gauntlets and boots, so he's not a complete He-Man.

Edit: WHO wants to sell me Beast Man and Trap Jaw at a decent price????

I like those MOTUSCLE packs and would love to get a standard set, but Super7 SDCC exclusives have been terrible to get the past couple years. I'm not overpaying for them, so I'll hold out for availability near MSRP or do without them.

 

[JonWes]

Super7 is releasing 3.75'' MOTU figures in a retro style, too.

 

[Battle Ram Man]

I dig those things. Not sure if they'll be available outside the con, but if they are I'd pick them up

 

[JonWes]

I'm guessing it'll be like the ALIEN prototype figures they did, where fully painted ones are available wider later. I hope so at least!

A little more MOTUSCLE info from Brian Flynn at Super7

Pink will be available after SDCC in a normal release, but we will have them for sale at our booth (#4945) and at Skeletor's Lair.

Black is limited to Skeletor's Lair only for SDCC.

Purple of just Skeletor is a give away at the Mattel booth.

 

[Kuzeh]

I'll try to score the Motuscule, not to crazy about the ReAction MOTU... I like Reaction in general, but these loose their main look which is wide muscular bodies... They look
More like bad cosplayers! [emoji1]

But who knows... Maybe when I see them at the lair I might bite!

 

[Kuwahara]

Wow! That's just wrong. MOTU should not be 3 3/4 scale AND non muscular. Adding insult to injury they sell them with no paint apps and call them stage 1 protos? I don't know who's worse, Mattel or Super7.

 

[FatHotei]

Just watched the masters of the universe movie for the first time since it came out. Man, Dolph barely speaks, he practically grunts his way through the movie. But every time he opened his mouth I cringed. Is he-man from the swedish part of Eternia?

I'm sure they'll release them fully painted. This is just an SDCC promo item ala the ALIEN prototype pack they did. Thankfully the protos do nothing for me. But I'll grab the regular release figures if they aren't too much.

Funnily enough, the director wanted to dub his lines with another actor. Even had one picked out. But Lungdren wanted to do it. Apparently what you hear in the movie IS dubbed... just be Lungdren after several attempts to get it as clear as possible.

Ha! Ya know it does sounds dubbed. He's over annunciating EVERY word. It's so obvious most of his dialogue was stripped away from him. Meanwhile Langella's Skeletor soliloquies more than a Bond villain. He did a great Skeletor.

I really liked the look of Beast Man but he could easily have been Grizzlor. Blade is and always will be a poor man's Triclops. I always wondered why they didn't use more villains from the canon. Karg does feel like a perfect Skeletor hench tho doesn't he? Submissively evil.

Speaking of Karg.

 

[Kuzeh]

Yeah, that custom is pretty cool actually!
Anybody see this?

Not to crazy about the preview... looks a bit meh...

 

[Kuzeh]

Nope...

 

[teemu]

no interest at all

 

[FatHotei]

I kinda like his skull shoulder armor, but the whole skull thing gets kinda confusing. The fact that greyskull was modeled after a skull and Skeletor had a skull face led me to believe there was some connection there as a kid. In fact, in one of the mini-comics Teela hands the throne of castle greyskull over to Skeletor because she thinks he looks like the outside of the castle. You're not the only one who's confused, Teela.
