The official Crystoll Motuc Thread

[²He-Ro]

Cool Tallstar this one i dont have ^^

Guys note: in german comics is Crystol with alternate colors to seen !
Have some one interest to watch it ?
(i send the picutres than)

To me, Crystoll is one of the coolest-looking "concept" characters. He features higher on my list than some of the Space Mutants that got a vintage figure (e.g., Butthead and Staghorn), and I actually like him better than his "final version" Karatti.

[Sword-of-Grayskull]

Well sign me up for wanting Crystoll in the line. His character design would blend in perfectly not just with the Mutants but with the Evil Warriors as well.

[bribri4u]

I so wanna see Crystoll make it into the line before the end.

[melmoth666]

I agree. Crystoll is a must have.

[Swifty]

Would love him, but not before most of the other NA vintage and Jetlag figures.

[baronterror]

I've always loved the prototype/unused design/etc figures in this line and years ago when I commented I gave him an underwhelming "sure, meh" type of answer.

This late in the game I think he has been upgraded to a great choice. I definitely prefer him to most NA SPace Mutant designs, especially that image from the Italian notebook.

Yes, Crystoll would be a great addition to MOTUC!

I would prefer his crystal "flesh" to be a translucent red/pink, similar to the old Crystar figures.

[I, Harbinger]

I'd be down. One of my favorite aspects of MOTU Classics was the inclusion and fleshing out of characters who began as concepts, prototypes, etc. I really miss that.

[²He-Ro]

He would be so cool with translusive parts like the goddess and non translusiv pants boots and amour

[mikerobertschamp]

I personally think he would be great addition to MOTUC, he looks cool and fits well. I truelly want more figures for this line, the biggest and most complete collection we can get!

[eurorko]

I'm down. This character looks cool. I really would like to have him, the rest of vintage NA, characters, Master Sebrian, and Drissi. It probably won't happen, but then again stranger things have happened in this line.

Yeah, I'm not usually a fan of translucent figures but it would work well for this guy IMO.

Yes!

And I'm with others in that Crystoll's "flesh" parts should be made in translucent plastic. I mean, he's a "crystal-man" mutant. That's his name, and given that the karate blow became Karatti's own defining action feature, and the design evolution form the early Crystoll concept to the final Karatti figure was so radical that for all intents and purposes they became different characters, Crystoll's crystalline quality should be considered his defining "action feature". So he must be translucent; it's "his thing". What would be the point of an opaque Crystoll?

OTOH, Crystoll is probably my #1 most wanted Space Mutant right now. Next would come Hoove, Lizorr, Quakke, Dreadator, and the Mutant Troopers (and maybe I should also add Disks of Doom Skeletor to the list, although he isn't properly a Mutant ...or is he?).

[GrtEternal]

Why not? More characters, the better!

[Penny Dreadful]

I think he'd be an awesome figure!

[Icer1]

I want Crystoll! It's better than most of the "official" NA characters.

[invisibleboy]

Crystoll has to be translucent clear plastic, ala Icer -minus the use of white overspray of course.
His crystalized arms & head would look so cool in park pink/red plastic!

CRYSTOLL is the PEFECT example of why I do NOT want any MOTUC mini-comic newly created characters in figure form, but would rather have preexisting MOTU/POP/NA characters as figs.!

In Toy Guru's MOTUC mini comics they created New MOTU characters (& used CAC runner ups which was cool of them) that were created with future toys in mind that I feel were unnecessary when so many Vintage MOTU characters could have been utilized to get fans excited for more MOTU. I know that Scott & Mattel probably thought that the already existing characters could already be used to make toys, so why should we? To me it felt like Scott's new characters were a way to make new toys AND cement his name & characters into MOTU history. I don't have nostalgia for these new characters, so don't want or need them as figurs for MOTUC/CC.

I guess this Crystoll support thread reminds me of the missed opportunities to flesh out existing Vintage MOTU eras & properties like: US & Foreign MOTU/POP/NA vintage media (comic/mini-comics/mags/toons), & 200X.
IMHO the Vintage MOTU/POP/NA media has so many cool characters that would make awesome figures anyways, especially counting the comics, mini-comics, & all the Motu cartoons.
So Crytoll reminds me of my feelings of missed opportunities to get fans excited about & wanting many figures before getting to creating new ones!

Who Needs Man Crystal when you have CRYSTOL ???
Who needs Lady Slither when you have The Snake Goddess ???
Who needs Beast Lord when you can have mini-comics Red Beastman or Red Beast (vintage concept) ???
Who needs Red Shadow when you can have mini-comics Flesh colored Stratos (they could call him Tufos) ???
Who needs Muck Man when you can use Shezar (Brazil MOTU comics) ???
Who needs Jet Pak when you can use Spinwit (Tornado) ???
Who needs Great Black Wizard when you can use variousincarnations of SKELETOR
I know the MOTUC mini-comics were supposed to tie all the MOTU eras into 1 timeline, but maybe creating excitement for NA characters could have been woven into the story? Like maybe if Skeletor hadn't been kiled off, or before he was, he could have called in the SPACE MUTANTS to Eternia to boost his ranks, necessatating He-Man calling on the Galactic Protecters. Maybe using some pre-existing characters from all the years of the vintage MOTU/POP media in the minis would have created more demand for them.

Like Lady Slither being in the #1 spot in the 2015 Poll on He-Man.org. Had The Snake Godess been used, I bet she would have been made the Top 10 Most Wanted MOTUC list! So who is to say if the NA characters or other existing characters would not have benefited from the exposure, especially if more of them were brought to Eternia & fough alongside the most popular MOTU characters to date. But I do understand Scott was banking on MOUTC being so successful that maybe his new characters (whether he designed them or had them designed) would gain traction & be demanded by the majority of fans, like Lady Slither? So it's all prefence, but I would have preferred Vintage characters had a chance to garner fan support instead of new characters.

This concludes my daily rant. Sorry

[Rich]

I would love to buy crystoll. Mattel please make this figure so the fans can get him.

[facet]

So its official he is a new character, as he is mentioned in Quakkes bio in the encyclopedia

[Snake_Man]

No, he actually is an EXISTING New Adventures character. He appeared in several foreign comics, and even licensed merchandise (see that awesome notebook, above), and he also has his OWN entry in the Character Guide! Go Crystoll! :^D

[yeahthatsme1973]

I say bring him on! Any and all NA and I'd be happy. The 4H NA figures are stand outs IMHO.

It's crazy that three years ago, amongst all the hype of subscription sales, I was so worried we would never get a complete MOTUC collection. Almost 100 figures later and I'm still worried! This line amazes me.

Side note: some of the images from the early pages in this thread aren't linked properly anymore. I'd love to see them if anyone has them. Some dealt with Crystoll's goon squad. I found some pics in the .org encyclopedia but wasn't sure if they were the same ones.

[facet]

I will put them on the first post later

I just want to put this out there, in case it hasn't been said yet:

"Meow," "Hermis," and "Hucha" were all 100% fan-given names.
Those names never actually appeared in the stories.

I have confirmed this with 2He-Ro, who refers to these names earlier in this thread.

"Hucha" is, in fact, a unique design for Karatti. He is referred to directly as Karatti in that very story. This version of the character appeared in a single Italian Magic Boy comics story which was later reprinted in the German Bastei comics. An image of him made it into the Character Guide under Karatti's entry.



"Hermis" and "Meow" (the 'goon squad' type guys mentioned in the above post) are actually nameless background Mutants. Those names were given to them by a fan. These guys first appeared in Magic Boy comics in a story that was later reprinted in Bastei.



They are all cool designs though. I saw an awesome He-Mike custom of "Hucha"/Karatti at Power-Con.
