Major update to the first post!
From my count, we have 76 figures left. Only 40 left for the vintage fans out there. 19 POP characters are left and 17 NA characters.
12 figures each year X 6 more years until the end of 2016 = 72 figures. This means that we'll be getting mostly everyone by then (The Galactic Protectors would be finishing up in 2017), just as Toyguru said.
Even getting all of the figure variants are done in 5 and a half years, with 1 release to spare (Counting the Faceless One) until the end of 2016.
Of course, this doesn't count "new characters" such as Queen Marlena, Eternos Guards, MYP characters, mini-comic characters, DC comic characters, Filmation characters, Jetlag characters, Golden Book characters or 87' movie characters (you never know) or concept characters. I hate to fire up the paranoia crowd, but all of these WILL take up slots, making the line last longer (although some characters will come out later).

Oops, guess we got merged by the mods. Wasn't trying to hijack your thread....this one seemed to be all about 200x. All I wanted to accomlish was finding out just how likely we are to get all of the vintage stuff.Originally Posted by MegaGearMax
Oh well...if nothing else, I guess I lit a fire under you to get that first post updated.
I wonder...can this line last longer than 2017? I mean, if they did get Filmation rights, would it sustain the line for a few more years? Or would the line just not have that form of longevity?

I can't see the line lasting once they cover the original toy characters.
This thread was originally to monitor the original figures. A 200X thread was merged into it.
No, but Val did!Oh well...if nothing else, I guess I lit a fire under you to get that first post updated.
It think it can. MOTUC has a fanbase who will blindly purchase figures no matter who the characters are. I'd expect that the line would take a hit as soon as the last vintage character gets sold, but there are fans who do want MOTUC to continue.

Out of your list I would like to see these top 5.
1 Sy-Klone
2 Multi-Bot
3 Spikor
4 Buzz Off
5 Horde Trooper two pack
They said they could do Darius, but last we heard, even they're not sure about Mara right now. Maybe she's one of those characters that Toy Guru was referring to when he said it looked like the rights issues have cleared up and they have enough to go into 2017.
PRAISE HESTIA!!!

First Post updated. 37 more vintage characters left.
NA's Sagitar is left off these lists. He is one differently, unique character 4HM will perhaps have much fun with.
I have him on the list...
I can see why some people don't count him. He's a Large Scale Beast, but a major character at the same time. I usually count him though.
G'day MGM,
Do you think we should add Fright Zone Dragon as a separate beast figure?
After all, if we get playsets in MOTUC I cannot see the 4H and Matty reprising the dreaded sock-puppet idea. So if we were to hypothesise a list where its possible we may get playsets, then I think its possible we may get an articulated FZ Dragon & if we did, the playset would be too expensive in its own right to sell inclusive of a properly articulated dragon figure.

I don't think NA He-Man and Thunder Punch He-Man are basically the same. They look pretty different to me.
My seller/trader/buyer feedback:
http://he-man.org/forums/boards/showthread.php?t=195461
MOTUC Most Wanted: Skeletor's Robot Knights, Two-Bad, Horde Troopers, Modulok, Sssqueeze, Tung Lashor, Stridor, Night Stalker, the Battle Ram, and a true, alternate head for Wun-Dar (since he's a "different" character)!
Sweet Bee is missing from the POP list.
Great catch!
The NA He-Man variants just looked as if they were trying to bulk up He-Man to his old standards, by improving on the first NA figure. Like it's the same character and outfit, but with the old MOTU proportions.
I don't see the Fright Zone Beast as being separate from the Fright Zone itself.

Well, we know Mattel plan on doing MYP Sorceress, MYP Adam, MYP Evil-Lyn and MYP Randor, since they've said so.
The "rules" on making MYP characters seem to be:
1) Named characters original to the MYP cartoon who didn't get toys in the 200X run, and who have no counterpart in the vintage line(s) [e.g., Carnivus, Faceless One]
2) Characters who were originally Filmation-only, but who were recreated for the MYP cartoon [e.g. Marzo, Evil Seed]
3) Characters whose MYP versions are so radically different in design or colour scheme from the pre-200X version(s) that no amount of "stripping away" "animehyperdetail" can make an argument that they're the same design at their core [e.g. Sorceress, Evil-Lyn]
(1) is the widest grouping, and probably the hardest to distinguish between too-small-to-bother-with cameos and characters they'll get round to - but they have said some others, like Veena.
(2) is a very finite grouping (Marzo, Evil Seed... anyone else?) and will certainly be completed if the line lasts. These can easily be included.
(3) is finite, but slightly subjective - while the "standard" MYP Marlena is different from Filmation-style Marlena, I doubt they'll do both - at most they might do a white-dress con-only version for SDCC and put the green on MattyCollector (ala colour-change Orko/standard Orko) - but the S2 "Battle Armour Marlena" design is quite possible though. For the most part, a simple compare-and-contrast could sort most of these possibilities out.
He has probably been dealt with somewhere and I'm missing it but I'm not seeing Eldor on the list. He is a definite lock for a figure.
I updated my humongous list of who's left in MOTUC here:
http://www.he-man.org/forums/boards/....php?p=2508151
MY MOTUC WANTS: SKY SLED, Rio Blast, Extendar, Gwildor, Eldor, Glimmer, Kowl, Angella, Mermista, Sweet Bee, Peekablue, Sea Hawk, Madame Razz, Huntara, Hydron, Master Sebrian, Sagitar, Tuskador, Darius, Mara, Two Bad, Saurod, Hunga the Harpy, Evil Seed, Masque, Horde Trooper, Modulok, Dragstor, Imp, Scorpia, Vultak, Entrapta, Tung Lashor, Sssqueeeze, NA Skeletor, Flogg, Lizorr, Hoove, Critta
So, the fact that the line is planned until 2016 now had me thinking about A-List characters and just how spread out they might be. We've seen many of them already and even popular secondary characters- but who, in your eyes, is left from the A-List? And who would you class as B and C-List characters?
Consider the characters' popularity generally, rather than just who you personally like.
Also, any faction can be referenced here- including Filmation characters, as there's one in particular who I'd put on the A-List...And several more on the B and C Lists...
Most-wanted MOTUC: Madame Razz and Broom - Scorpia - Granita - Hunga the Harpy - Spinnerella - Melaktha - Vultak - Dylamug - Crita
I can't talk about Filmation...it's too painful lol.So, the fact that the line is planned until 2016 now had me thinking about A-List characters and just how spread out they might be.

From what is available, I'd say any MOTU character that was important enough to include in 200x will be considered A-List (Sorceress, Marlena, Ram Man, Man-E-Faces, Meckaneck, Fisto, etc)
For PoP, A-List would be Catra, Glimmer, Castaspella, and Frosta.
For NA, A-List would be Flipshot, Hydron, Flogg, and Slushead.
I don't want to get into B- and C-Listers, because for me, they're all the same after the ones listed above. I REALLY want the ones listed above. And Mermista and Gwildor. But I'm realistic enough to know that they are not A-List.
I think it depends on how you define the lists. You could argue that the MOTU-verse's only real A-listers are He-Man, Skeletor, She-Ra, Hordak, Sorceress, Man-At-Arms, Teela and Orko, just based on sheer presence throughout the property's history.
For me personally, I'd rank the remaining MIA A-listers as:
A- List: Sorceress, Ram Man, Catra
B-List: Queen Marlena, Man-E-Faces, Clawful, Mekaneck, Fisto, Kobra Khan, Jitsu, Two-Bad, Sy-Klone, Spikor, Stinkor, Rattlor, Tung Lashor, Castaspella, Frosta, Kowl
And then so on, from there. (Leaving out Filmation characters, for obvious reasons.)

A List:
Sorceress
Glimmer
Manteena
Two-Bad
Catra
Mekaneck
Ram-Man
Absolutely ! Toyguru himself didn't risk to drown in what he considers A, B or C.A, B & C lists are so open to interpretation
Here's a list of what's left and of what I personally consider A, B or C list (please note that the A, B or C filing doesn't show the interest or the love I have for the characters - what I mean is that, aesthetically, there might be C characters I want more than A characters):
A-list : Sorceress, Cringer, Kowl, Catra, Demo-Man, Eldor, Queen Marlena, Gwildor, Veena, Spirit, Swiftwind and Horde Prime/Horde Supreme.
B-list : * Hydron, Flipshot, Flogg, Kayo, Spinwit, Lizorr, Slush Head, Sagitar, Darius and Karatti for NA.
* Rattlor, Tung Lashor, Snakeface and Sssqueeze for the Snakemen
* Glimmer, Entrapta, Queen Angella, Frosta, Loo-Kee and Mermista for POP
* Leech, Mantenna, Mosquitor, Modulok and Hordak variants for the Horde
* Two-Bad, Panthor, Tuvar, Baddhra, Spikor, Clawful, Kobra Khan, Stinkor, Ninjor, Jitsu, Megator, Blade, Saurod, Lodar, Prahvus, Evilseed and Skeletor variants for the evil warriors
* Fisto, Sy-Klone, Man-E-Faces, Ram Man, Mekanek, Rio Blast, Rokkon, Stonedar, Clamp Champ, King Miro, Lord Dactys and He-Man variants for the heroic warriors
C-list : * Quakke, Hoove, Staghorn, Butthead, Nocturna, Tuskador, Dread Tread and Vizar dor NA
* Peekablue, Netossa, Castaspella, Spinnerella, Sweet Bee, Flutterina, Double Trouble, Perfuma and Songster for POP
* Dragstor, Multibot, Calix and Horde Trooper for the Horde
* Faceless One, Blast-Attack, Azdar, Bezdar, Chadzar,Twistoid and Geldor, Dinosorb, Crocobite, Rhinorb, Orbear and Gore-Illa for the evil warriors
* Oo-Larr, King Taurius, Snout Spout, Extendar, Procrustus, Granamyr, Rotar, Dekker, Astro Lion, Ty-Grrr, Comet Cat, Cometroid and Tuskor for the heroic warriors
D-list : all the army builders (except Horde Troopers), i.e. Arachna Spider Warriors, Snakemen troopers, Mer People, Caligar warriors etc.
NOTE : I didn't use characters that were announced with a release date at SDCC. I didn't use Filmation characters, since we know they're still considered "off limits". Other than the giants, I didn't use large scale beasts either (except Cringer, Panthor, Spirit and Swift Wind). I put the He-Man, Hordak and Skeletor variants in category B as an average. But there are variants I would put in "Z-list characters". I hope to see all of the 80's variants, plus one or two important or cool variants. Not more.
