LOL yeah, but not for plastic heads

I beg to differ.

 

[teemu]

this is interesting

So I've seen a lot of fans commenting on similarities between the MOTUC bios and some comic book stories (specifically Green Lantern). Let me see if I can shed some light.

The bottom line is both MOTU and most modern superheroes are based on mythological motifs and themes. The concept and theme of "gods" or powerful beings giving weapons and objects of power to heroes to fight evil is as old as Greek, Egyptian, Chinese and other worldly myths.

So if you are seeing similar themes in MOTUC and comics books, it is not because MOTU is trying to rip off or copy comic books stories, but rather both comics and MOTU are both deliberately referencing mythology and ancient mythic themes.

Hope that sheds some light!

From what understand, there were supoosed to be giants in the early days of MOTU but it got dumped by the way side in favour or more technical toys.
When they decided to do The Powers of Graykull line, the lads at Mattel went back to look through some older more sword & sorcery ideas and they saw some giants and other unused concepts.

Megator for instance is like the early Beastman/Demo Man concepts.
