So I really want this Stratos...

[DaBigfella]

He wasn't a villan, even in that early minicomic. Read it... it clearly states he was secretly spying on the villans. how they failed to notice him is beyond me...

Read above..... stratos was never a villan. that picture is misleading, I had the same confusion too, until I actually read the comic.

They're actually refering to Man-at-Arms on the tower behind the gun on Castle Grayskull.....

[Skeletortilla]

I don't think he looks 'flesh tone' in this picture. He seems to have a sandy colored look - like the fur on a camel. Also, his face and body are a different color.

A possible name for the character could be "Nikko: Evil avatar of Skeletor." Nikko was the name given to the leader of the flying monkeys in the credits of The Wizard of Oz movie. The name Nikko comes from the Japanese city of the same name (Nikkō), where the famous Three Wise Monkeys shrine ("See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil") is located. In the western world the phrase is often used to refer to those who deal with impropriety by looking the other way, refusing to acknowledge it, or feigning ignorance. Those traits could possibly be worked into the character.

I definitely would buy this version, and Captain Atkins is right...he's more of a beige or tan color than flesh color. He's got enough variations from regular Stratos (belt, collar, feet) to make him look like a unique and different character. Heck, if we're getting a DC Comics version of He-man, why not? Bring on evil Stratos!

I have to agree that I always thought that "caucasian" was a poor choice of label for this version. Beige, tan...even orange in some panels works better.

[River]

I like the skin color... it's sexxxyyyyy.

[hhhelmsley]

I don't like the skin colored Stratos, he looks like a chicken...

That is funny.

[River]

That is funny.

It's even funnier when you know what chicken is slang for, lol. *wink*

[tyr112]

He could be cool as a separate character.

[Eugene-At-Arms]

Hey. I made a Miniternia Stratos already. I sold him already, but I could make another.

[MasterCollector]

What are the chances of Mattel finally kicking those dumb sock feet to the curb and putting some Beastman feet on this variant Stratos IF it's ever released?

That's what I want know.

[Arkangel]

i would buy that. I don't think i ever get enough of pre-eternia figures.

[Prahvus]

I'll only buy a new Stratos by the time they give him hands that can hold weapons...

[danielsan52]

I still want this figure. The color scheme is so cool with the blue red and yellow. I'm even liking the idea of him being Avatar, or the guy that rules Avion after Stratos dies.

[Mad Scientist]

I like this version. And since it has low new tooling parts it could came with an extra head. May be a Snout Spout no-foam-trunk head

[Greenskull]

I would support this evil Avian in MOTUC!

[Colder Soldier]

I want Roostor as well. It would be cool if they made his skin tan and his hair a slightly darker brown.

I'd probably switch his head and make him an entirely different evil character though.

[iron_pride]

I want this version too. Very cool. Would be quite a nod to the original minis.
