As a noobie to the new MOTU, I have only a few figures still, but I wanted to share something cool with you. There's a little story that goes with this...
When I was a kid, I came downstairs one Christmas to discover that my parents had set up this huge diorama of He-Man figures! They had taken the stuff I owned and combined it with new stuff, including Castle Greyskull, Snake Mountain, etc, and a hole bunch of new characters, and made this enormous, ready-to-play-with environment for me to hunker down and play in. It's a wonderful memory for me.
Well, last week, as my fiancee and I were heading out, we saw a package at the door. We opened it just to see what it was before we left for work, and discovered it was some of the figures I had traded for paints (still going on by the way, for anyone who's interested!) I didn't have time to do anything with them, so we set them aside and went to work.
Frankly, I was feeling a touch guilty for getting into a new line that would take up space in our small apartment.
Well, when I got home that evening, I was greeted with this:
My wonderful fiancee had removed the new figures from their shipping box, and taken the figures I already had out of my detolf and set them up in this little diorama, even printing out Castle Greyskull as a background.
Is it as huge? No. But my God it was so meaningful to me.
Gentlemen, I am a very lucky man.
