Polybags please!
*Updates to mattycollector.com should be the one place where all current info resides.
I changed my address (a couple weeks before I moved) on the site, but DR had no information of this.

Thanks everyone! I'm glad people had fun with this! I know I keep saying this, but I'd really like to eventually animate these guys like I did for the little "bumper" I made last year. I just have...
Hey Folks,
I just uploaded the final sticker today! I hope everyone had fun collecting them and that you enjoy the final image. It would mean a lot to me if some of you who were missing stickers...
Well, the first characters took quite awhile. There was a lot of back-and-forth on "He-man" with Sllohcin and Baena as they gave great feedback and pushed me to get a model we were all happy with. ...
Hey He-Fans!
I thought this might be fun. I put together a poster, staged with some 3D models I've made based on Sllohcin's sweet art. Instead of posting the entire thing at once, I wanted to stir...
Thanks everyone!
I do plan on continueing to use these models for animation in some way, but until my work schedule frees up a bit I've just been making 2d pics.
The font I used was called, Zombie,...
Modulok, I think, is my all time favorite character. He was like the legos for MOTU. I wanted to pick my favorite parts from the cartoon, comics, and figure. I also like him as a smaller...
Fantastic as usual!
Thanks everyone!
I used XSI’s toon shader for these characters. It’s a free shader that comes with Mental Ray. I’d like to see if I can get the same cell shaded look out of Maya one of these...
Glad you guys like him. I definitely want to give style credit to Ric. I can't wait to see more of them!
Glad to hear Webstor is coming soon to the Classics action line!
He’s my favorite Skeletor-minion, so I had to model him as well. I hope to one day showcase these characters by animating them.
Extendar was always one of my favorites as a kid, so I wanted to model him in 3D. I still remember the day I went to my local Pamida and found him hidden in the rack of action figures.
I'm really happy to see the video is still being passed around. I had such a fun time working on it and as you can see I was really inspired by Ric's designs! I hope we can see more of them soon!
...
I only drew the arm glowbones on the outside of the arm, which isn't visible because of the pose. Ric's concept art had them painted that way and I really liked the contrast of the black with the...
Thanks a lot guys!
I did indeed model this guy in XSI, although I don't know how much longer I'll be using it, since it was bought out by Autodesk. I wonder if they will start phazing it out.
I originally wanted to do this piece for Halloween, but it got really busy for me at work, so here it is now. Just like the animated bumper I made awhile back, this model was rendered with a toon...
My first reaction to Skeletor wasn't that great. I hope once I see more pics I'll warm up to him. I really want to like this line more, but it's a real stretch for me at the moment. The real...
You sumarized it all up for me perfectly Patreek!
I personally like the idea of a chase variants, BUT ONLY if I know that's what I'm buying. If I'm going to spend $20 on something, I want the variation I pick MYSELF. I don't think it would be out...
I definitely hold the same concerns as flitzi here. I really want to support anything Mattel does with MOTU, but I'm just not as hyped about this relaunch as I was with the 200x. I mean, I'd almost...
Wow, amazing! Thanks for showing this work of art off! You are very talented!
Thanks for all of the feedback everyone! Yeah, I'd sure love to do more of this stuff on a full time basis. Now if only I could figure out a way to make a living off it it, then I'd be set!
...
Hey guys,
Here's a little project I've been working on in my spare time. I animated it as if it was an intro or a teaser for something. I worked with Ric Nicholls and Nate Baertsch on character...
I think that out of all the news we've heard this weekend, I'm most excited about a finishing/continuation of the MYP storyline. That really was what helped fuel my fire for getting back into MOTU! ...
I would LOVE to see MOTU re-explored, but in the Pre-Eternian world! That way, new characters could be introduced, but we'd also see some familiar faces as well, like the Horde and Snake Men!!! I...
That is very exciting news!!! Thanks for being so prompt about reporting what your findings are. I'm sure we are all anxious to hear (and SEE) more!!!
This is a GREAT idea to come prepared!!! I was at the SDCC q&a session and was severely dissapointed. I really don't think they wanted to answer any real questions, because anytime someone would...
One of the commentators on the DVD mentioned that the whole MOTU saga centers around one family and that seemed pretty cool to me. It certainly adds more drama and character to the story that I...
