MOTUC Bio Art - Original & Un-Edited

Well the Bios are great addition in MOTUC figures. But the homage paid to the art used in them is something I especially like.

So I thought I'd gather the original images for all you to enjoy. Some of you know them by heart, but not all images are instantly recognazible, and others may suprise like Stratos here.

ohhhhh, thanks Jukka! Do you have the ones for He-Man & Beast Man?

**Lay Ze-Man** · January 12, 2009, 04:07pm

B-b-b-but . . . that Stratos has TOES!!!

**bskcase** · January 12, 2009, 04:09pm

I always loved those. I used to cut them out and keep them in my box with He-man figures. That was the one thing that I missed from the 200x line.

I'ts ok! They cropped the toes out to avoid any confusion. If only the red and blue colors weren't reversed.

In the Org Album as I have the link above the images.

Can't link all images here with the 4 image limit, so just showed Skeletor and Stratos.

EXCELLENT! Thanks, sorry I missed the links, too busy looking at the images!

Cool, you gonna update this each time?

**Evil Ed** · January 13, 2009, 03:31pm

Thanx, Jukka!! I already looked myself for Beast Man, but this is way better, hehe! Thanx for doing this! If it's not too much trouble I'd love for you to keep it up!

Good stuff and thank for showing it off here! I am proud of myself; I actually recalled all of these from their original places. Go me!

**adam03** · January 13, 2009, 09:31pm

Those are awsome! I wish they would have used them for the back of the packaging, I love the mini comic art

And stratos looks better with a gray body imo, than a flesh colored body. Man, i'm glad they changed that for the figures. and what's with that feather necklace? That stratos looks terrible imo... lol glad the new figure isn't based on that. some of those early designs look kind of bad to me, especially skeletor's face! It looks more like bad rubber mask than a terrifying ghostly skull head. Still, it's interesting to see how far along these characters have come over the years.

**Lay Ze-Man** · January 14, 2009, 07:33pm

Well, remember, the early artwork was sometimes done really rushed, and based off of early (some even unpainted) prototypes of the toys.

While I think it's cool to have some classic art on the back I think:
A) The scans could've been made far crisper and bigger!
B) Why not use the card art like He-man instead of comic images and keep things consistant?!

Maybe they're thinking ahead to when we get the likes of Queen Marlena and the Green Goddess. They wouldn't be able to have card back art, so if some of the characters before have had mini comic art then it is all the same. Don't know what they will do with the likes of Marzo and the Faceless One though!

A: Yeah the images on the back of MOTUC could be a lot bigger.

B: So far, I've liked their choises. Especially Alcala-Beastman instead of what Beastie had originally.

A) agreed - they really should have been made bigger! But well...
B) No, it's better as it is: more variety. Plus: Alcala is great and needs to be part of it!! PLUS: I'm hoping to get my favourite depiction of Snake-Face on his card, when they get to him: mini-comic "Revenge of the Snake Men!" page 4 middle picture of the first sequence (first "line") and for King-Hiss same mini-comic page 1, 1st picture of him or alternatively page 2 middle picture of the first sequence.

Thanks to the new photos from NYCC...

I give you Squiddish Rex!!

**RocketPunch** · February 7, 2009, 09:02am

Cool. I love how He-Man's throwing Skeletor around like a rag doll on that one.

Me too. But more happy with the appearance of "red wing" Stratos in the background... as he should be!

**Jamps** · February 7, 2009, 01:16pm

I just wish there make some new art in the vintage style for the future bios.

**Brian Ozone** · February 7, 2009, 08:14pm

Cool thaks Jukka!

**Fisto** · March 1, 2009, 06:59am

Hello Jukka,

Thank you for showing all of those.

They truly are awesome and imo, really capture a lot of the spirit that will always be "MotU" to me.

Take Care,
Darren

OHMYGOSH! YOU TOO!

That's why I never threw away all my cardbacks because of the art. But of course my mom did anyway. But now, I've hunted 'em all again. Only missing the US version of Loo-Kee and Spinnerella!

Thanks for the art posts Jukka! Been wondering where I saw that Stratos pic from.

**Whiplash7** · March 1, 2009, 12:11pm

I also never threw away my cardbacks and kept the minicomics, even when I sold all my motu toys. I just couldn't part with them. The artwork and stories had played a huge role in reeling me in to begin with.
Anyway I had noticed where the Stratos pic had come from and found it to be a pretty questionable choice...why not something from Battle in the Clouds instead?
