MOTUC Strobo discussion

[Darkspecter]

I guess we found Disco Skeletor's arch enemy, then! Unless we get a Disco He-Man, which would be so far into the awesome category that the world would explode with rainbow sparkles.

You had me at "rainbow sparkles."

[Brian-Man]

Not really high on my wish list.
But if and when they make him, I'd definitely buy him.

[triklops3eyes]

I'll take one. Got to get Psyclone first though. Question is that the appropriate spelling for our warrior from Anwat-Gar?

[masterenglish]

Hey, why not. Hes kind of a fun character, Ive considered doing a custom of him.
I would buy a couple.

[gbagok]

I'd like him if they can make him. He's got to be dead easy--once they make Sy-Klone anyway. Imperfect as the bios are, it will be good to get an official backstory for him too.

[danielsan52]

I'd get him. As soon as Sy-Klone is released, Strobo should be the next bonus figure.

[phantom1592]

Ok... I can't be the ONLY one...

Who is Strobo?

[gbagok]

Who is Strobo?

Strobo is a heroic warrior from a story in one of the MOTU magazine illustrated stories. He's got a head like Zodac on a body like Sy-Clone (with a strobe in place of the round disc on the chest), and Randor's cape. He was helping He-Man stop Skeletor from using a magic meteor in the mag/comic, and his light-based powers save the day.

Yeah, who is Strobo? Anybody got a pic of this guy?

[Eamon]

I've never heard of Strobo!

This is probably the first figure I'd skip.

[Swift Wind]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again;
I want 'em all, and I want 'em now..!

Couldn't have said it any better.

[BuzzOff1981]

I really would like Sy-Klone first (in fact, I hope to see him soon), but I think Strobo would be an awesome bonus figure after that then, since they'd have all the parts they need. I'd definitely buy him.

[Snake Hunter]

I always liked it. I want the 4H to explore the mirror "action feature". I don´t want to have a 3rd character with Zodak head. I prefer to have a new sculpt head for him (is enough to reuse the Syklones body).

Also have to include new weapons to him.

[Kevenn]

Can't say I want him, but I would definitely get him. To me, he's the kind of figure that is ideal for candidacy for a Subscription Bonus figure.

[FAKER II]

To be honest I don't really want him but I have no objection to him being made. He's a simple repaint/kitbash so if it'll make the fans happy then why not?

[Brian Ozone]

Well Matty, I hope your reading this. This would be a great idea for a bonus figure. And hes easy to make.

[gbagok]

Toyguru said figures like Zodak and Green Goddess would just be regular figures now, rather than bonus figures. I think that means a character like Strobo would still be made--just he'd probably take longer if they're afraid fans will rebel to not get a more recognized favorite first.

That said, I think Strobo coming out before a Sy-Klone would make him more appealing because he'd be a kind of teaser for Sy-Klone. Well, he could be anyway.

Here's what he might have looked like 200X

[Baena]

Great artwork there gbagok!

But it still doesn't sell me on the character.

Not interested.

since myself, and alot dont consider a letter at the end of Zodac/k doesnt change the character. this (for me) would be the 2nd characer with this head..

this (as "too" 200xy as it is) actually did sell me on the character. there could be SO much more of an actual story background on this guy than Zodak/c being different guys.

Strobo reminds me of why i love MOTU actually.
re-use of parts, and the characters being different.

great art work. i would take this guy in a heartbeat.

Thanks, Baena. I'm no Horseman though. If they set their sights on this character, I think they might win over the hold outs.

Well, it's more than the character in the name. Zodak has a different bio, a different "real" name, and he belongs to a different species. You can ignore all that too (the bios and real names are very ignorable I think), but it's not like all that separates them is a typo. But I'm thrilled my drawing helps you reconsider Strobo!

yeah. i can honestly say i have not been a fan of the concept. but seeing the new thread with zodax, and seeing that it could be its own sort of GLC, i think i am coming around with all of this stuff.........

[BlueStreak]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I'm tired of all these obscure characters. Bring me RAM MAN and MAN-E-FACES!

[Darkspecter]

I like Strobo. He could be the leader of the Cosmic Enforcers or something. The one who keeps them all in line, or decides who BECOMES a Cosmic Enforcer. He's cool.
