Guys would somebody be willing to help a fellow freak from Germany getting the DCUC vs MOTUC 2-packs? I really want these sets but I am not willing to pay redicoulus $ 100 on ebay just because it is US toysrus excl.

Is it only US? I'll check my TRU but I'm in Canada...

 

[Deak Starkiller]

yes I am serious and this thread is not de-railed at all...few of us are discussing Giants and their origin...no big deal! I find it very interesting how mainstream takes and has been using mythology and Biblical aspects into entertainment...While some on here know my beliefs, I certainly believe Giants onced roamed the Earth as its stated in Genesis Chapter 6 and the Stories of races of Giants in the Bible (Example-Goliath and David) Goliath was a prodigy of the Nephilim in the Bible.........
thats in my studies and beliefs and will continue to point things out and speak my mind whether people think I am nuts or not...do you think all these ideas from creating these toys comes from man's imagination ownly alone?? now that being said...I am looking forward to adding Tytus to my MOTU Collection

Yes...yes I do. But you're all right Teemu. Kooky but all right.

... uh, man's imagination is a powerful thing.

Yeah...anywho so yeah Trap-Jaw best figure in the line so far guys?

I think it's fair to say that!!
Battle Cat kicks as, but it's not a fair comparison to figures...
My favorites so far are definitely Mer-Man, Skeletor and Trap Jaw...

At least non Europe... Its always the same... But this is Mattels typical business phylosphie. They simply do not care about the European market though they always say that there are many European customers... We do not even have the regular DCUC in our shops. Last Superman I have seen in a shop was from Returns...

So whoever might be willing to help me out please contact me. Your help will be much appreciated.

I forsee a Battlecat/BA He-man in the future at TRU.

When this happens, ____ will hit the fan for me.

there were two styles of paint apps on the first release. one was a more cartoony layered application of paint that took away some of the details and the other was a application of yellow and then a dry brushing of green near the top of the skull and other areas. to me it looked better. i can get pictures later on and post them.

airbrushed

drybrushed

Mattel started with the airbrushed variant (more yellow less detailed) but switched to drybrushed during the production due to fan demand. People complained that there wasnt enough green in his face when they saw the prototype.

Which one is yours ghost? I am still looking for the first airbrushed version so if it is that one please PM me.

Actually, that's a wash not a dry brush, although how they applied it in reality may be with a brush. Dry brushing is a technique to apply paint to the highlights of the sculpt - the 'top' surfaces, if you will. A wash is appling paint over the whole surface and then wiping it off, leaving it in the lower details. So calling this a 'wash style' makes sense, but calling it 'dry brushing' (again, although a brush may be used) does not.

 

[teemu]

the more yellow (and best version)1st version issue Skeletor is the rarest version of skeletor in the line

 

[theghostinside]

mine is the second of the pictures. the dry brushed or washed look. i prefer it more, but thats just my opinion.

My TRU only got in a case of the DC vs MOTU packs in. 2 Skeletors and 2 Heman packs were set up on the shelf.

I've been to 4 TRU by me, all cleaned out. They are only getting two of each. I was able to score at one store, but the others didn't have them one day, and next day they had price tag showing item but an empty shelf.

I sold one set on eBay, which paid for both sets, wondering if to keep my other set or flip it as well. I've probably spent $30 in gas hunting for them. I hope this line never goes retail, cause I wouldn't want to do this every month.

I'm too lazy to go to TRU, those days are done for me.

This is how they call them on the .org I think. So this might be the common explenation for them. I dont know. Honestly I dont care about names for either the technique or the painted head variants.

Spoiler

When I think about it I do not even care about most parts of the .org

I'm leaning towards keeping and opening them. I sort of like the heman repaint, they did a wash for his hair... and the pink belt buckle is growing on me. But the skeletor isn't that good, no green on the face.

Also, expect shelfwear on the boxes if anyone is able to locate them, they crammed them in the carton, like the early figures.
