I thought that was more Songster trying to deflect the kids' very complicated questions than an admission of "fuzzy continuity" with the MOTUC bios and mini-comics. Are you going to tell the prince...
Still no confirmation email for me, nor a charge on my card. I got an email a week ago saying there was an authorization failure when they attempted to charge my card. After making double sure I...
No offense to EtherianChronicles, but that doesn't make sense to send out an email that itemizes products that were sold and payed for last month with a notice that funds are needed to cover for THIS...
That sounds like a good argument to cut out the middle man. Why does Mattel continue to do business with Digital River? It cuts into their bottom line, and their service has been very lackluster,...
The situation with MOTUC is a bit different, though. Most toys sold in brick and mortor stores are primarily sold to kids. Collectors are a much smaller, secondary class of purchaser for those...
This idea isn't perfect, but I think it could be cultivated into something very lucrative for Mattel and satisfying for late-comer fans to the MOTUC line. Maybe Mattel could start selling reissues...
I can appreciate where you're coming from, but as much as you can just decide to disregard any particular line of fiction in a brand, they all make an impact to one degree or another. I've said this...
Not really surprised by the answer to my question, I'm just disappointed. Scott's response seemed very defensive too. A little acknowledgement of the emotional impact they're creating just for the...
How exactly does killing off figures in their own character bios sell more figures?
SCB, can you try to put Rattlor's neck extension on Mekaneck for a quick and dirty "Snake Mekaneck?"
Skeletor was quite the sadist in the 200X cartoon. That was amazingly dark for a cartoon meant to sell toys to children. Yes, there are plenty of maturely themed animated shows out there with more...
Don't get your hopes up. Chances are, if Scott is still writing the bios, they're both dead. ;)
Nice. Thanks for the visual! :)
I may just keep the heads as is, afterall. The blue plastic on the '09 head is close enough to the blue plastic on the '12 body that the difference is almost...
Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately, it sounds a little more involved to swap the helments than what I was hoping for. It's too bad the helments aren't universal for all heads. I guess I'll hold...
In anticipation of the new Great Unrest Weapon Pak, I ordered another Snake Man-At-Arms and swapped out the head for the moustached version that came with the original variant of the Man-At-Arms...
MOTU Classics would have been much better off had it stuck to simple bios that introduce a character's origins, affiliations, and unique skills. The whole story should have been left up to the...
Isn't Skeletor already an undead half-demon with a fleshless skull for a head floating above his neckless shoulders? I doubt he's all that bummed about a little techno organic bling. ;)
Agreed, the snake torso looks pathetic when used as intended, connected to King Hsss' waist. Try using a few of the clear rubber bands that Mattel uses to secure the figures in their packages and...
I think we've all puzzled over the odd "Spade" symbol on the chest harness of Toyguru's own MOTUC creation, The Mighty Spector. It's finally hit me what the significance of that is! Look up...
Hey, a wolfman can dream, can't he? ;)
I've got a proposition for Toyguru, something that will, I think, go a long way with engaging and pleasing the fans through another component of the franchise. Just like fans got a chance to design...
Like I said. Fridge logic ;)
So, pretty much, Scott took things too far. Again, I would like to bring up that this is why a whole creative team is needed to flesh out a good story with a property like this. There have to be...
The MOTUC storyline is sinking into "Blaire Witch Project" syndrome. At first blush, you have a great time, it's new, it's exciting. But when you start to actually think about what was going on,...
No cure? Teela seemed to whip one up right quick after her dad got "The Clamps!" ;)
Man-At-Arms ROCKED that mustache, and you know it! :hmlol:
Here's my attempt at a short, direct question that, I hope, Toyguru will consider answering:
Is this really the end for Duncan? Such...
I figured a whole new Rattlor variant would be a longshot, but maybe they could include the shin guards and bracers as snap/strap/slip on pieces along with the chest harness? They could sculpt them...
True, but even with a much more bloodthirsty He-Man in some early comic adaptations or mini-comics, I doubt Mattel let the authors kill off anyone they wanted to market on the cardbacks of their...
Maybe we could get some snap on shin guards and bracers (a la Vykron) along with the armor to complete the 200X Rattlor look? Should be more practical than making a "The General" variant down the...
MYP Rattlor would be a fantastic quarterly variant, but I doubt we'd be so lucky. If we did get it, though, I don't know if I'd be too keen on the flat tan color of the 200x cartoon. His figure in...
