>>5756278MOTU really is a bit of kitchen sink- there's something in it that can appeal to anyone, who tries.
The MOTUC figures are really cool, but hard to
'just dabble' in. You'll get one, and it's great but stands a little out in your collection, so you get another, and next thing you know you got a bunch of them. They are really neat, and the 4H put a lot of care into them. Really, the only failing in MOTUC is how little Mattel themselves care about it, which results in bureaucratic bullshit that makes dealing with the line difficult. Plus the hardcore fandom is smaller than Transformers or other fandoms, so their craziness is concentrated and seems higher or worse than other fandoms (see,
he-man.org).
I'll agree with
>>5756520in picking up the Dark Horse art book. That gives you a good overview of the franchise as a whole and lets you figure out what parts you like more. The recent DC comics just finished up, they started as kind of guilty pleasure grimderp, but Dan Abnett comes in for the last 20 or so issue and the series becomes really good.
