Reply With QuoteWouldn't 200X MOTUC be bonus figures anyway and not interfere with the regular releases?Originally Posted by Lay Ze-Man
Also, if you're talking about a 200x figure like SA He-Man, that will require enough new parts that a new character like Stinkor or Jitsu or Randor could be made.
And sorry, but I can't prioritize a variant over a new character.
At this point, someone like Zodak could be made relatively easily (new head, staff, new loincloth) so I'd be all for "easy" figures like that.

Yeah, I made that quit clear in my post I thought Laz. I don't want them taking over the monthly spot anymore then you do, but bonus figures.
big geek
Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Mattel recently mention something about possibly releasing two figures a month? It would be cool if they released an MOTU figure then a POP, NA, or 200X character as the second figure. Everyone wins!
I like the fatherly version of Man-At-Arms from Filmation and not the Nick Fury with a baby pony tail from MYP's toon. He'd be a victim of friendly fire if I was around him.I know Man-at-arms can be cocky but that's pushing it!
I get that that as well. He seems to think we're kids or socially inept adults. His line about our own "personal storylines" always weirds me out. Maybe I'm alone here, but I'm not writing fan fiction at home to go along with my new toys.
does anyone else sense this in his answers, like he is replying to kids, in a really nice professional way?or is it just me?!?!
I've never even heard of these before. What was the animation like?
I don't see those names as very mainstream. Except for Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman(thanks to his powers being fodder for many comedians' stand-up material), Spider-Man, and The Incredible Hulk, I don't think any superheroes have been household names until they either appeared in movies or lame press releases talking about how they're either being killed or resurrected.

You already have more than what Vintage fans have. King Grayskull, an MYP character, is the only toy in this line to have 2 different figures(3 if you include Spirit Of Grayskull). I don't see any agressive Vintage fans getting angry over this.
forgive me for not understanding a word you just said.
Why wouldn't you? She-Ra was released as a part of the 2002 line.
but she was never in any of the fiction.
capitalzero: wants everything that the "Vintage fans" are getting but in a 2002 style.
King Grayskull: an MYP character and not a "Vintage" one. He has had 3 toys released already; Regular, Statue variant, and Spirit Of Grayskull variant.
"Vintage Fans": have not complained(at least none that I have seen) that the only toy in the Masters Of The Universe Classics line to have received 2 variants is an MYP character and not a "Vintage" one.
THUS 2002 fans have received something that "Vintage fans" haven't so far.
And Vintage fans have recieved far more than that in terms of characters, releases, promises, etc.
so it more than tips the scale.
Sales don't always mean quality. I have seen & heard more complaints than praise for Marvel Comics under Editor-In-Chief Joe Quesada and Transformers:Revenge Of The Fallen. Guess what, they both lead the pack.Bravo for sticking to your guns.
I think the fact that Hordak only lasted an hour on Matty Collector just shows you that you are not alone in not wanting to purchase a figure with half armour
Personally, I'm not a fan of Hordak's armor since I don't care about articulation, but it wasn't so bad that it made me re-think collecting the MOTUC line. It just goes to show that a lot of people don't always put their money where their mouth is.
That's true. I get that alot with comic books and other toylines. Even video games.
People might ***** and complain online, but will be among the first to support the very thing that they are complaining about. Their online personas might make you THINK they would never support the line, but in reality they are the ones who are the fastest supporters.
In my defense, I came around eventually.
I'm still not 100% satisfied, but with a promise of things to come, I soon very well could be.
I'm not understanding this arguement very well. Personally, I loved the "re-vision" of the 200x series but that's all it was people... a "re-vision" of the old. Zodak is Zodac regardless of skin color and name spelling. It's like the Kingpin in the Daredevil movie. He was black. That doesn't make him a different Kingpin than the caucasian blob of a man in Marvel's paper pages. He-Man is He-Man... whether he's in a loincloth or Snake Armor or blue pants. Fans of 200x have to love that they have He-Man, even if he doesn't have anime hair.
So yeah, I wanna see some more designs from the 200x re-vision make their way into the MOTUC line but at the end of the day... for the most part... we're talking about wardrobe and make-up people. Wardrobe and make-up.

My current wants: MOTUC Blade, Clamp Champ, Hawk (and other Avions), Ninjor, MYP Sorceress, Stratos (200X variants - but don't get too crazy!).
Zodac is so radically different from Zodak in concept and manner, as well as look he might as well be a new character, unlike most of the other 200X characters who were more or less the same character as before. Zodac uses a gun, was recruited by the Overlords of Trolla, is neutral, travels the stars and doesn't have any history with King Hiss. Zodak uses a staff, knows kung fu, lives in the mountains, isn't neutral and lost a brother to King Hiss. Zodac's bio mentions none of this.
Mattel using the 200X storylines for all the other characters but Zodac might be evidence that a 200X Zodak might be coming eventually.
But it's still just a "re-vision". One person's way of telling the story vs another's. It's like superhero movie continuity vs comic book pages continuity. Same characters - different way of introducing them or using them in the story.

No, I don't.
I have MOTUC He-Man as a place holder only. Until the REAL He-Man (IMO) shows up.
The idea is because the two characters are so different, they could co-exist in MOTUC since they have different histories and different looks. Since the Cosmic Enforcers and the Overlords of Trolla are like the green Lantern Corps, I think that it's a way that they could make Zodak in the same canon as Zodac (as yet another cosmic enforcer) without stepping on each other's toes.
It's like comparing Spider-Man 2099 (Miguel O'Hara) with normal 616 Spider-Man (Peter Parker). Both are basically supposed to be Spider-Man, but are two entirely different characters.

Ok, I understand your point... but you also make my point... "both are basically supposed to be _____, but are two entirely different characters."
I see your point. I actually like the parallel comparisson to the GL Corps idea.

MGM: it's not that they don't understand, IMO, it's that they want things THEIR WAY only, and won't accept an alternative viewpoint, especially when it removes them from their comfort zone.
admittedly, I'm the same way a lot of times, but the way I see it, I have to be this way, I'm only fighting fire with fire.
there is hope, however, as many people are willing to look at alternative POVs when presented respectfully.
which is why you're the pillow to my rock.
A bonus figure that requires more new parts than an "easy" regular release?
I agree sometimes I think these questions are skimmed and he's just answering what he thinks the question is. We all get why the sword is blue... we just ALSO would like to get that clear grey one!

ain't many 'easy' regular figures left. We're moving rapidly into 'unique sculpt' territory.
