Dragonblaster - amazing Hiss. I hope those extra long snakes hold together well over time.

Your picture just makes me want a correctly done Hiss even more. What a missed opportunity. I think Hiss is the only case where the MOTUC regressed in terms of improvements from the vintage counterpart. Can't win 'em all, right?

Gorgeous photos! I'm brushing up on my digital photography this summer. I can only hope to be as good as you someday.

Together with Draego-Man I received another King Hiss. I used it to improve my...improved Hiss

- now including the snake around his neck:

I completely agree - Hiss snake form could have been so much better in the first place

I'm happy to say that the snakes stay on without any problems though

Thank you for that great compliment!

I love Draego-Man. He's the figure of the year, and nothing will top it.

**Snake Hunter** · May 15, 2012, 05:26am

Cool idea. Now Draego-Man an Snout Spout will be arch-enemies!!!

Fire vs. water! That's awesome!

**Night Stalker** · May 15, 2012, 08:38pm

I can imagine Snout Spout silently weeping in the background. "Finally... I have a purpose!"

And then he tries to spray water but it shoots out the crack in his trunk instead and he goes back to weeping.

That's the most amazing collection of official toys I've ever seen!

Do you have every last thing from all the vintage lines?

Wow, that setup is fantastic!!!

Leaper, your collection is like my He-Man, GI Joe, Transformers, and DCU collections combined. Wow. Yesterday someone posted a video on youtube of their Joe collection and it was larger than your He-Man collection.

That is awesome. What did you do, just super glue the extra snakes to his back?

THAT, is what King Hsss was supposed to look like. Not that sorry toy Eric Treadway gave us. The extra snakes add to the underlying concept of King Hsss and his character.

I tip my hat to you good sir, and leave this question and quote from Ghostbusters

"Are you a god!?"

Of MOTU you are

Thanks, glad you like it!

Yes, two of the snakes were glued to the back of he main body. The snake around the neck is the left arm of the base body. The last snake (his upper left arm) was cut in shape, stuck in a gap between the arm and neck snakes and finally glued in place.

I also made a thread in the customs section with additional pics:

**leaper1976** · May 17, 2012, 12:28am

Thanks guys! The table was originally created for a train set layout, but I wanted to make the room exclusively MOTU-only, so I sold the train and turned the table into Eternia basically lol.

Yes Robogeek1973, it does take some time to dust LOL!!

PrinceAdam101, I have every piece from the vintage MOTU line except for Tytus and Megator (and some of the variant figures like Camo-Kahn and the like). I used to have both of them (Tytus and Megator), but when we had the baby a couple years back, I sold them for extra money needed. They were awesome to own. I bought almost all of them with my $5 a week allowance when I was just a kid. Some, like the laser-light he-man and skeletor and roton and twistoid were ebay finds several years ago.

I purchased the She-ra stuff mostly online over time (a couple were my sister's from years passed). The figs are incomplete, but I only bought them to round out the display. Turned out pretty good I think. I'll probably add more She-ra items as money and availability permit over time.

Just added wave 5 of the 200x stactions but man do those cost a fortune! Would love to complete that collection one day.

The shelves on the walls and the table itself is made out of cheap particle board cut with a jigsaw and some 2x4's. All the shelving and table combined cost around $200. I really love some of the rooms I have seen from you guys with the great glass cases, but unfortunately I can't afford those so this was the next best thing for me to be able to do on a budget.

So glad you like it! It's so much fun to collect this line. 30 years and counting!

Nicely done, collecting these things with your own money when you were younger and fleshing it out as you got older. Great display to show your loyalty and dedication to MOTU.

**Dr Kain** · May 17, 2012, 02:15am

BTW, leaper, is that a Dehumidfier in the room?

**EuroCoin** · May 17, 2012, 08:30am

I was taking a shower, while all of a sudden Photog sneaked up on me!
