Thread Question:
So which MOTU/POP characters do you think probably celebrates a holiday alternative to X-mas?
Inbefore Clamp Champ and Sun Man do Kwanza.

Serious question, did MOTU have a big impact in asia? Outside of India and Australia (along with presumably kiwi land) I've not really seen much fanfare for the series. Thats partially why I find the nendo announcement so bizarre. Are nendos for westerners now?

I hated how well this works and I partially blame Revelation.

>>9491492 >So which MOTU/POP characters do you think probably celebrates a holiday alternative to X-mas? The snakemen. Considering they predate everyone on eternia, they likely have some weird psuedo egyptian/psuedo mesopotamian animal worship holiday. Arguably the same could be true for webstor. On an unreleated note, what would you name an owl themed motu character?

Or if they add him to the CGI cartoon and he comes with a future Skeletor for that line, that would be great too.

Also where is wun-dars armor? The awkward positioning looks like he's standing on the air as opposed to jumping. But the havok sword looks kinda cool. I wouldn't mind a skull-thor version of skeletor since it's essentially skeletor with out the hood. The name is certainly terrible though. The arts not bad but damn does this dude make some horrific choices.

>>9494624 i can easily see them bungling some of the newer more complex designs, and by extension fucking up their characters. Saurod, Mosquitor, Blast Attak, Twistoid, and Rotar would all go the way of tung lashor and leech at worst and at best the way of clawful, merman, and man-e-faces. Scare Glow is the one character that would be impossible to fuck up because he's literally skeletor with a new outfit. That would save so much time and be so easy for them to adapt that I could even have seen him regularly reappear if the show had gone on for longer.
Speaking of which, for as much as I love the 87 flick, Im still one of those anons who think all the money that went into it would have been better spent reinvigorating the toyline. I would have either gone with a filmation season set entirely in Pre-Eternia (to set up a subsequent he-ro spin off) or would have set up he-ro as the son of heman outright.

Filmation was long done with anything titled "Masters of the Universe" but would have been happy to make a Preternia cartoon. Their heavily-altered King Hiss design was used for the MotU newspaper strip, and Lou Scheimer proposed a villain named Horrorsaur and a love interest for He-Ro from "the road tribe."

Something that looks reminiscent of the Mattel toy... but not so dumb-looking would probably be best. You had some Filmation sketches last November that should work here. Pic related shows the similarity between Forton's version and what ended up in animation cel form, with the trademarks filed off into what Lou Scheimer called "Hero and the Land of Legend".

>>9496488 >>9496519 >>9496520 You all may judge me, but I'd genuinely prefer a Dylamug based on the toy concept art over the Filmation look any day. I very seldom prefer the Filmation depictions of characters. Skeletor, Hordak and Man-At-Arms are rare exceptions. Filmation Dylamug by no means looks bad, I'd just really like something as abstract and freaky as concept art Dylamug. Really fits the vintage Horde theme of monstrous freaks, robots and aliens.
Anonymous
>>9496777 Guy who posts all the Classic Dyla pics here, and I actually agree with you
Obviously, I love the Filmation version too, I mean, I laid down the cash for the Classics version and shitpost with him constantly.
But I have always had a strong preference for the toy aesthetic myself, and have been dying to have the character as Mark Taylor intended. I also really like how he's actually colorful, with the blues and greens, which is really my only gripe with Filmation, the lack of color. I can't wait to see them side by side in toy form so I can judge which one is ultimately better.
The caveat though is...they need to get the expression gimmick right. The appeal of the Classics one is that he can be happy, angry, worried, leering,etc. If they made him so he could only make scary faces, it'll defeat the purpose and spoil it all.
I think an ideal Mug, though, might be an amalgamation. I'm thinking the tube arms and clamp hands, torso, hips, legs and colors of Mark Taylor with the facial features, two toed feet and vacuum tunes of Filmation

Well, the first story arc, "Day of the Comet" started July 20, 1986. It starred the Rock People.
"Vengeance of the Viper King" started 10-19-1986 and introduced King Hiss, Sssqueeze, Snake Face and Rio Blast.
"Ninjor Stalks by Night" started 1-26-1987 and introduced Ninjor, Scare Glow, Blast Attack and Extendar. Tyrantisaurus Rex also appears at the end.
"Terror Takes Time" started 5-11-1987 and introduced Mosquitor, Buzzsaw Hordak and the dinosaurs.
"Evil Under the Stars" started 8-24-1987 and introduced Saurod, Blade and Gwildor. Beast Man also gets changed to look like the movie version.
"Attack on Snake Mountain" started 12-7-1987, and that's where Clamp Champ finally got added to the cast. Rotar and Twistoid never show up.
After that, writer Chris Webber just did whatever he wanted even after the new toyline was released for '89, introducing the New Adventures cast after the cartoon debuted.

Toy wise, would you want him to be made up of entirely recycled components and a new head or would you want them to lean into preserving the filmation look as much as possible? Honestly filmation clawful's design is malleable enough to do both to equal degrees of success. Personally I was thinking of going the former route as filmation clawful could easily be made up with the basic motu buck, buzz off arms and legs, and merman armor.

If we're talking Origins, though, since they're more modular, you could use He-man arms with Buzz Off hands to get even closer (I think Filmation Clawful had bracers?) You could also use Zodac armor instead of Mer-man, but either is fine

Not the guy you replied to (sorry if I'm putting words in your mouth), but there's a difference between simplifying a design outright changing it. Trap Jaw, Whiplash, Webstor, those are simplification.
The post he was replying to was of examples of Filmation just straight up not following the toy's design, either in a small way (adding MAA mustache or making Moss Man shaggier), or in a big way (wtf are those Monstroids?), or changing the colors (Hordak, Evil-lyn, Faker)
I think that's what his issue is. Simplify, sure, but stick to the actual design of the toy.

>>9500511 They're suppose to make Masterverse versions, if the line survives that long. Having the first few waves as all REVELATIONS was a bad judgement call. Moss man appeared for less than a minute and they make a unique scuplted figure for him, like WTF mattel?

Thanks; I did want a Skeletor of some description, but I was leaning towards a mix of colours and gimmicks so base Skeletor didn't jump out at me with his lack of a gimmick and shared colouring with Faker. Was looking at maybe the new Terror Claw version or waiting to see what the listed 200X Skeletor is like. That said, just seen that the first version you mentioned is dirt cheap on UK Amazon so I bought one, lmao.
>>9501604 Eh, I'm not in love with any of the Skeletor heads so far, but I find the revised one too scarecrow-like and my brain reads his mouth as being sewn up. The first wave head at least looks like a cackling madman to me.

>>9501684 Battle Armor has a better gimmick than Terror Claws. I was on the fence about plain Origins Skeletor & He-Man for a long time because I was already collecting Mega Construx, but jumped on the BA versions of them.

>>9501796 Yeah, I was tempted by the Battle Armour deluxe as he'd add a nice splash of purple to the shelf. I'll probably grab both BA figures at some point.

>>9501925 Blast-Attak needs to be able to blow the fuck up!

>>9501925 I love Laser Light Skeletor's design, but if the light-up gimmick comes at the cost of articulation and a backpack no thanks. I'm in it for the head sculpt and the techno-detail. I honestly don't think it's a gimmick they'd be willing to preserve anyway, to be honest. I'm willing to wait for a Masterverse version too, though.

>>9502015 Agreed.
I think the only ones that are optional are Two Bad's arms, Spikor's trident being able to extend, Leech's mouth and Saurod's spark (admittedly I'll be disappointed without that last one, but it isn't a dealbreaker)
Every other character would not be worth buying without their gimmick

>>9501925 To me I just want action features that are an essential part of the character. Man E Faces having multiple faces, Ram Man spring loaded body, Stinkor stinking, I feel are essential parts of the characters. While a spring loaded arm isn’t an essential part of Fisto’s character, the huge iron fist is

>>9502022 What if the sword was hollow and you could put tiny glow sticks in it?

>>9501925 I'd be alright if they traded out
Sssqueeze's bendy arms for something else or giving Rotor mini classics-like accessories (legs, etc).
Rio Blast be keeping all his guns, tho.
Anonymous
>>9502097 Wouldn't Sssqueeze's arms be one of the easiest features to do?
No new engineering for the body, and just soft bendy arms that port into the standard torso.
If his wave was 3 simple kitbashes or repaints they might even get away with him as a standard fig.

But I'll buy him no matter what.

>>9502103 I think Sssqueeze will standard regardless. He's not exactly a complicated figure to make. No internal mechanisms or spring-loaded feature. Just long arms.

>>9501690 Still pissed Mattel put the Hulkster in a playset that never got distributed to Walmart stores or hardly in stock online. Hope it pops up at Big Lots or Ollies like the last ring playset.

>>9502126 Rattlor is the one with an internal spring, and I'm very curious to see what a deluxe Rattlor's two heads would be.

>>9502103 Eh, Sssqueeze's arms are more of a me thing than anything. Always worry and careful about 'them no matter how they're made.
I mean, I'm still gonna get him anyway because he's my favorite snake man.

>>9502382 Nice. Really hope Mattel doesn’t use this buck for Titus and Megator though. They need to be way bigger
Anonymous
>>9502397 Nah. It's locked in to just WWE figures now, since it was used here first, probably.. Expect big show or another Andre in the superstars line.
Anonymous
>>9502397 I don't know why there are people with this belief that Mattel would release Tytus and Megator in the same scale as Andre.
Origins has been really good at staying relatively true to vintage. They sound like they're stretching for reasons to be pessimistic. Even if scaled back, I doubt it'll be under 11 or 12 inches so that they're still twice as tall as Origins figures

before anyone asks, his parts are swappable
>>9502421 I kinda suspect they'll just rerelease the classics figures, if it's a cheaper option. I wouldn't even be mad if they did.

>>9502837 Overall, they went with a much taller playset to fit the bulkier 6-7 inch figures, but also made it a lot thinner for a light storage profile.
It retained the flag, gun turret, opening jawbridge, trap door, & weapons wrack of the original. It's missing the throne, elevator, training thingy, and dwell of souls.
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>9502840 It added a hidden treasure room, monster mouth trap, an actual dungeon (even if it's just a fence and gate), Romeo and Juliet balcony, break away dragons teeth, and a bunch of different light and sound features.
I think I prefer the layout of the original playset overall, More floor space on the upper levels, the throne, and 2 big walls, instead of 1 big wall and 2 smaller walls.
However this is the only one I've owned, and I'm happy with it.

>>9501416 They game MAAs a mustache so that he looked wiser. That was pretty much it. As for the others they usually used the same base animation for almost everyone. Horde characters were made to look cuter or brighter since it was targeted to girls. It's all really simple to see why they changed things. Either to fit a trope or to make things easier or to appeal to a different demographic. They didn't even follow the same origins for He-man from the mini-comics and stuff since it was all just rewritten.
