I am working on that character as we speak. I have a interesting bio and name, and should have him up later today.

Great new joseephus!

I've been waiting for your RADAR figure (did I remember that correctly?) Please remember to post a pic of the custom in the Grayskull robot/spacesuit thread!

...any news?

[Joe Amato]

I so would love these guys made.
Have them bonus figs or something, but I agree it would add so cool new figures to the line.

There are so many characters that can be made from existing 80's material. I hope ToyGuru and Mattel check out these threads and consider making these figures.

[urbanmyth]

I'd buy it but NO! Release a NA hero or something and make him the Windraider pilot in his bio. Isn't there a NA character that kind of looks like this guy or at least has his color scheme? I just see it taking the spot of other more interesting characters.

[Swanmarsh]

Why would a NA hero be flying a Wind Raider? Aren't they from the future and some other planet? NA characters should be interesting in their own right without having to hi-jack some other characters gimmick.

Season 4 man! It was gonna happen in season 4

And in that case I'll just go with no unless it is a subscriber bonus or in addition to the yearly 16 figures and 4 large scale items.

Maybe we should start a movement for 2 figure releases per month? If the reason not to incorporate new characters is the fear some old characters not be made then let's up the release schedule.

DC Direct seem to be a similar marketing system to MOTUC (as in select market) and they have been issuing 4-5 figures per month for years so surely MOTUC can elevate 2 per month on a sustainable basis.

Cost may be an issue for some fans so maybe if we moved to 2 figures per month Matty could offer a 2 tier subscription in 2012 (24 figures only vs all-in).

I want one. I agree that he would make a great exclusive.

To be Honest I find him much more appealing than than Preternia Heman exclusive they have coming out for next year.

I think he would make a perfect exclusive too! I hope ToyGuru is listening.

[Skeletortilla]

Hey why not? The more the merrier I always say.

[Bowl-Cut Barbarian]

I don't think I'd buy this guy, too generic looking for my taste. Cool custom you made though.

[Muscle of Grayskul]

Awesome work on that custom, he rocks, I'd pick him up!
He-Mike's custom figures rock two, I wouldn't mind seeing the 3 of this packed together in a con exclusive 3 pack or included with the actual vehicles if/when we get them. Great work! The bio is great too!

[Neal1972]

I'd buy him in a heartbeat. I love the stuff that I never knew existed before!

Absolutely. Let's hope this one happens.

[Joe Amato]

It's good to hear from ToyGuru that he is a possibility!

[Darkspecter]

They shall call him pi-lot or ve-hic-lor.

[skeletom]

I've always loved Cobra Commader!

[Atomicdios]

Where did the name Sky High come from?

[KingRandor82]

why couldn't we have gotten this as the 2011 sub exclusive instead?

[kk2]

He's a must....

[Sabretooth]

I really like that they include all these obscure characters from early minicomics and prototypes (Goddess, Gygor, Vikor, ...). And now it seems they look into the box and poster artwork too! That is great news. With his obscurity this Windraider pilot reminds me of Zodac. We do not know almost anything about him. And I like to come up with my own stories for these characters. I definitely support the Windraider pilot and any other prototype or minicomics character that Toyguru will dig out of the old MOTU documents he found at Mattel in the basement.

[danielsan52]

Be cool if they came free with the vehicles.

[CocoaSmooth]

My sentiments exactly. I dont like the idea that Im getting an obscure and not so appealing to the eye He-man Variant for 2011.

[Swanmarsh]

Pilot figures like this are unlikely to come package with extra heads or many accessories so they should come packaged with a mini-comic to firmly establish them in the MOTU universe!
