Masters of the Universe Classics

[Darth Waller]

Oh and I don't mean to Ski-Spam but you guys should read (if you haven't already) Roger Sweet's Mastering the Universe: the Rise and Fall of a Billion Dollar Idea. It's a fascinating read about the history of the toy industry and the inception of He-Man and the MOTU. I can't recommend this enough.

Sounds like a good read. Ordered.

there is archaeological evidence...and its evidence, thats is has been hidden from the public...

So you believe in the La-Le-Lu-Li-Lo then?
What other things do you think a world-encompassing shadow government is hiding?

Not trying to be condescending, It's a serious question.

Getting back on topic

Ok, I've got to get this out of my system, I REALLY hope that Titus is either

A) a bonus figure, So i can skip him

Or

B) They add upper arm articulation for him

He's just a scaled up version of the He-man buck, there is NO REASON for him to be missing any of the articulation of the smaller figures. Hell, as a larger version, he should have the same, or MORE articulation, not less.

Sucks, because I kinda like He-ro, and Kg, and the other ancients

They fix his articulation, I'll get him, otherwise, I'm passing.

Next, Whiplash

LOVE HIM. glad they gave him his 200x Head sculpt, I prefer it to the original, But a question, I wonder if he's missing his mid- torso articulation, or if that plate is rubbery so he can move. I'm not too irritated if he lost it due to his tail, but as a larger, heavier figure it'll make him harder to pose and balance properly without it.

I think i agree with those of you that dislike the masks for she-ra, they just look off, i prefer the sculpted on version.


LOVE keldor and marzo
wonder if Keldor comes with his 2002 swords as welll.. Hope so.


Who's the orange version of Gorrila grodd with the "stick it here ron jeremy" face? I don't know the character.


might actualy get the luthor/skeletor two-pack... i don't have that Luthor.

Sorry to derail the thread with my alien comment (tractor beams FTW, though ).

I will probably skip the giant (I do like the bio) but I can't pass up a cool looking gorilla.

That book sounds awesome, thanks Deak.

REscending comment about whiplash, upon closer inspection he looks to have his mid-torso articulation.

I'm wondering if Keldor will come with a melting head like the 200X figure?? Would be a nice touch.

What's the story behind the DC/MOTUC packs. I know they own both properties, but are they going to make up some storyline relating both universes.

There's an old cross over comic from DC. Thats what these are based on.

 

[Sniper33]

Cant wait for both Keldor and Marzo, both look great. Hope they aren't bonus figures though, would like not having to worry about getting ahold of one.

 

[The_Batmobile]

How many of the DC crossover two packs are they planning I wonder? Will they have new written comics?

Marzo is monthly, Keldor is bonus. And we know who doesn't read the thread

No problem.. but check my longer post on this page and it has the run down of who is coming when and how.

 

[Skiman]

Where's Skiman? He must be off working out or something.

Probably. I kinda miss his Ski-spam.

If he were here for these annoucements, this thread would be five pages longer.

Sorry guys it was V-Day since I've got that all hammered out I'm BACK!!!!

This is all kinds of AWESOMENESS, my eyes are going nuts with all the releases !

 

[Deak Starkiller]

Marzo should be the bonus and Keldor should be the sub figure.

 

[Skiman]

Does it look like his articulation is nowhere on the elbows and wrist

 

[YoNoSe]

Looks like he has some articulation in the elbows. And the wrists would just be cut so that should be there, too.

 

[The Craw]

wish there was more articulation in the arms of that one. especially if they are gonna use that as a core body for 12in MOTU figures. but he does have elbow joints. i saw other pics at a different angle.

 

[The Craw]

my main concern is that he's already packaged, so why isn't he in my house yet???

 

[The Craw]

can't wait til Ski's been married for about 5 years so he can spend his valentine's days someplace useful. like in this thread for example.
