MOTU Mini-Masters Discussion Thread

[Staff Of Ka]

dying to hear about these...C'mon Tg!!

[Darkspecter]

I just saw this answer from TG and thought it was interesting:

BatmanJack:It's been a while now, but we saw Action League incarnations of MOTUC at one of the cons. Will these figures ever see the light of day? I would love to snap up every single one!

Toyguru:We are still trying to find a home for these. Each fig is a full tool so it is not easy.

These are what they look like for those who forget or never saw them:















*Almost nobody has a picture of the Faker one for some reason.

I see shared parts, don't know what the big prob is. Just do it Matty!

[Robogeek1973]

Heh, those are cute.

[vertigoink]

The home for them is in my collection :O Seriously though, I wonder if Mattel could option these out to Funko as the manufacturer since they are pretty much completely sculpted and ready to be produced.

[Replikor]

..I dont care HOW... or WHO they get to make em... I just know this one thing about em....

I WANT ALL OF EM! I WANT EM ALL!

[Alexx]

I can understand...I wish they could just sell 'em straight out, but they're gona need more than us few to get it going. I would LOVE them in stores. Honestly I think that's a great little way to at least get the brand name out there - just aim 'em at collectors and they'll find a way into the hands of kids.

No joke! What's he talking about?

[nato]

They are all hyper-anime detailed......and that look is retired.

I assume he means a retail home. I can see why none of the retailers would want to take a chance on them. TRU is probably soured on MOTU thanks to the DC/MOTU two packs and Wally World or Target probably couldn't be bothered without some sort of media hype.

I hate to say it, but if I were in charge what I would do is shrink down the upper body slightly, re-sculpt them so the whole figure is a single mold and turn them into happy meal toys. I'd make a deal with McDonald's for menu and front window ads and a couple television commercials for a couple months or so and see what kind of buzz is generated by that. Then I would approach Wal-Mart with a couple waves of two packs. I'd probably try and throw some 3 or 4 panel comic strip on the happy meal package and on the retail packs.

Of course, this would only work if Mattel was serious about developing the MOTU IP.

[Wulff]

I'd rather they stick to MOTUC as the only MOTU figures.

I could be wrong, but my guess is that the armor isn't removable and that they don't move from the waist down, meaning the only shared parts would be some of the arms and some of the lower halves.

I found a good home for them

VERY CLEVER SIR

[misterbigbo]

I think they are fantastic and am disappointed that there hasn't been any traction on them yet. Hey Scott, think outside the box and run a Kickstarter on them, and run them completely outside MOTUC.

[cayman shen]

These are great, and a nice way for fans whose pockets aren't as deep to show some MOTU love.

[lorde trooper]

Really wishing that the home would be Matty collector and not a retail store somewhere in the states. Cmon Matty. Clearly classics are doing well, miniatures would too.

[Uki]

I'm SO on board!!!

[Greyskull]

Why must everything be disproportionate now a days? Cartoon characters, CGI characters, action figures, etc. I can't stand it!

[AdultCollector]

I really hope they go with the vintage packaging for these. An extra head with each figure would be nice.

[LORD FALLEN ELDOR]

Head + armor + weapon = One tool is what I'm sure Scott's intent was.

Sneak em into retail via Playskool.
Two-packs with a mini comic or DVD to explain em to kids.
test the market...
Add Teela & EvilLyn. MOTU was Popular with young girls...It could be again.

I really hope they go with the vintage packaging for these.

2nd!

[scar1321]

I would buy all of these... No questions asked.

I'd actually consider ditching the MOTUC line completely to collect these!

[Brad2dbone]

No news on these guys from SDCC huh? I wish Mattel would just hurry up and make them already. Just put them up on Mattycollector or something, I'd buy 3 of each.

[Sllohcin]

Agreed! I'm super excited about these and I cannot wait until they are available for purchase!

Well, actually... I'm really eager to see some new characters too

[Tron]

No mention at SDCC at all. Kind of bummed...
