Sorry to the 56Kers (if you still have one) but I am gearing up to sell my MOTU collection and took some pics last night. And yes this took a long time to set up. I figured this group would get a kick out of these, Ski you still get first dibs. If you were serious about this collection. Enjoy!

THE nicest Skeletor I have ever seen, and he was off the card.

My favorite figure!

 

[Deak Starkiller]

And I will be taking pictures of the Castle Grayskull soon.

Killer pics as always man!!! Wow, that is one impressive f'n collection of figures

 

[sladesuperagent]

What's impressive is that they all are standing. There is at least ONE figure in there who's leaning at this point, if it hasn't already fallen over and taken out half the set. Probably one of the cleanest sets I've seen too. Very cool!

 

[galactiboy]

Yeah, you don't often see loose MOTU that clean... really an awesome looking set

Thanks Joseph! Although I forgot to set my white balance so some of the pics have a slight reddish tint.

Oh Slade, all too true. You can see Spikor bit it on the left, but for the most part 90% of these guys are all standing up straight on their own. I have been working on this collection since about 1998 and I also have some variants too not pictured ("black face" Grizzlor, Man-E-Weapons, Hordak's alternate chest piece, Scareglow's glow in the dark Halbird, etc.).

Brilliant collection Nick! So do you have your eye on something? Is that why you're moving a few of your items?

My Sanford and Son thread got the axe....

Awesome collection ! Would love to something like that but in a smaller scale in my collection.

Thanks man, yeah I am going to shift my collection focus a bit. And I am going to BotCon this June, so I needs some monies. And I call bull____ on no Grady DX figure.

Grady DX would rock! Now that's a figure that needs PERS!

Did you ever get the Vader LSB?

Botcon is in Pasadena this year right? What day(s) are you going?

 

[Nintenjoe]

super nice looking he-man figures. you selling as a lot or piece by piece?

 

[DPrime]

The Flagg, Prime?? Where would you put that thing? Your collecting room already looks pretty jam packed.

Yeah, when I get back in June we'll be finishing the basement, and the collection will move there.

I don't like it being in one of the extra bedrooms. Just doesn't feel right in there... I want hardwood floors, better shelves, and just a bit more room to look at it from afar. Even then, though, I'm not really sure I have a place for it. At least, I'm not planning to make place for it, as I don't quite plan on getting one just yet, unless I happen to find one in the condition I want and I can't pass up on the deal.

At any rate, we'll probably get posted out in another year and a half or so, so we'll be looking for a new house - probably bigger too (i.e. room for Flagg).

No Vader for me, but I have Fett and 3PO is on order. Yeah I'll be there all 4 days, I am helping Toy Anxiety with their booth. So that's cool.

Sounds nice man... I'd love to have hardwood floors in my collection room. Just not in the cards for this house, but the next one (probably in 5 or so years) I'm hoping will have a basement that I can go all out in

As a lot. But if I don't sell the collection I'll split them up.

Aw mancave! Basements are so rare here in AZ.

 

[galactiboy]

Same here in OK... weird too since we are so prone to tornadoes

Let us know

Yeah, that is weird. You'd think we'd have them here cause we're prone to being so god damn hot.

Let us know

I will, but it's going to be hard to split up the family.
