MOTUC Castle Grayskull Discussion Thread w/ Feb 26, 2013 Q&A

This is great for us fans. I mean, with 200x getting cancelled 8 or 9 years ago whichever, then the "well subs are down the line is in trouble"......we showed them what we are made of and we all deserve every bit of this for the many years of heartbreak we have endured and kept up the good fight.

This is an easy $300 saved, and I suspect I am one of legions who feel that way, judging by the thermometer. It should have been like the statue, like Bow, like Frosta, like Bow, like He-Man, like Beast Man, and like BP She-Ra - in other words, it should have combined all the most popular previous interpretations like the most fan-acclaimed installments in the MOTUC line have done.

Hopefully this will fail so a preorder for a Filmation castle can come.

It blows the mind doesn't it?

All's I know is, we're getting our MOTUC Castle Grayskull sets at the end of next year. Grayskull's ours pal... it's ours.

Yup first one! I've always wanted to get one but was just one of those "Oh I can get that any time" type of deal but just never got around to it. I'm so glad that I waited for this monster of a fortress because it looks so epic!

Attachment 80391

Yeah... if they did THAT and added the crown, I MAYBE would have pre-ordered.

Something about the MYP castle.... its simple and yet its giant open space is terrifying. The Filmation one to me, as iconic as it was growning up with, seems kinda silly looking at it, like it was more of a beast than a castle. Again, the toy will have some weird playmat sculpted under it but it should be in the middle of nothingness.

Great news - but no surprise at all that it shot past the min - was anybody really fooled by Mattel's fake thermometer and slow updates?

Awesome News! Now i have to start saving, damn:eek:

Those dang Mayans better be wrong about this December. If the world comes to an end before I get my classics Grayskull, I am going to be very upset...:hmlol:

in post #2605, the castle I'd most like is either pic1 or pic 3. barring either of those, pic 2. The 200x just lacks something. BTW, where did pic 1 in the post come from?

I agree that pic three, from the original box-art, is the best. I like the look of the MYP CG, it does look the most epic, but it is rather simple.

The Filmation one just looks silly to me. In my opinion, of course. I like the cliff over-looking the castle in the box-art, but it doesn't make sense from a defensive point-of-view, though.
