Excited about the possibilities here. Want will depend on styling and price.

David Rapoza is designing them. He's the guy who did the more realistic take on MOTU villains that went viral:

This weekend at San Diego Comic-Con, you can run right over to the Mondo Booth (#835 ) and see their 1:6th scale Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles action figures...their insane 16 inch Godzilla statue based on their Phantom City Creative designed preview poster for the film...and maybe a Hellboy...if you're lucky....but what you won't see are the seeeeeekret things the crew is keeping hidden for their own MONDOCON!! This October, fans of awesome movies and killer collectibles will descend on a different kind of con, and there, their eyes will drink in a new 1:6th scale line of action figures based on the hulking He-Man and his Masters of the Universe!
When translating the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Mondo took a bit from the original Mirage Comic art, a bit from the original Playmates toy line based on the cartoon series, and threw in their own artistic touches for a look that is instantly recognizable and extremely appealing. Now, when tackling Masters of the Universe, they've got a similar plan of attack. Creative Director-Toys/Collectibles Brock Otterbacher explains "The idea is to take the basic designs of the original figures, some of the art from the original mini comics and packaging, add a bit of realism to them, along with a bit of our own tastes, and create a series of high-end figures that fans like us would be stoked to have. Designed by Dave Rapoza. Sculpted by Ramirez Studios. EPIC."
