>>9568831>Is it rare to get new OC characters these days?So far, yes. They've teased OCs on a few Origins boxes...but even then they're based on either piece of concept art or package art rather than being something thry actually created new. (Missile Toad coming from the sticker with Grayskull, the space gladiator from the vintage Wind Raider box, Snowman, and the techno witch are both Ted Meyer concepts, etc). I think the only one not based on anything is that cyclops on the Castle Grayskull box, but even there I'm not 100% certain
The pro to that, though, is that these characters do "embrace the design philosophy of the 80s".
Slight tangent, but that's why I hate the upcoming Kol Darr figure...it doesn't follow the 80s toyline aesthetic. His armor is too smooth. Where's the detailing, greebles and/or paint apps? Compare it to MAA, Mekaneck, Fisto or Randor's armor.
I get it, he's based on an animation model, but I still don't like it. That was one thing Classics did well (sometimes) when the did Filmation guys; added details to bring them in-line with toyline aesthetic. Consider Plundar...
