Official support for a Classicized MYP He-Man and Skeletor!

**DO4M** · August 13, 2011, 02:42pm

Since we have a support for a Filmation inspired Classics He-Man, it's just as fair to have one for MYP He-Man and Skeletor.
WARNING! Read this before posting:
The suggestion is that these two are meant to be non-sub items like the 30th Ann. figs, BP She-Ra, X-Mas KG, etc.

Mattel would need to do MORE than a simple repaint for these guys work properly.

He-Man would need 3 New pieces (Minimum):
-Head with ears (can be reused for the NA Ponytail head)
-MYP longish hair which I'll refer as He-Mullet just to have a catchy name for it... (Kinda the same way that Leech is a slug)
-a True 200X Harness Classicized.
Optional: a removable 200X Belt with Sporran like they did with Fisto

Skeletor would require a bit more new pieces:
-New demonic Skull to go with the Hamburglar He-Man hood.
-New Arms Based on the Whiplash arms BUT with bracers similar to Draego-Man's
-New Loincloth (A "Preternian" version of Skeletor's loincloth)
-The Swords
-Five fingered "demonic" Feet

Got my support! I'd love these two espically if they came in a Two-Pack.

**colt44** · August 13, 2011, 03:17pm

Count me in, love the MYP versions of most of these characters.

**Dark Sorceress** · August 13, 2011, 03:25pm

YES YES YES! the more MYP the better!
and remember they have Demo-man feet now so no new tooling there

**Brian Ozone** · August 13, 2011, 04:08pm

I'd be all for the skeletor. But the Heman not so sure of ice armor Heman I'd want in heart beat.

**jerec350** · August 13, 2011, 06:00pm

YES! YES! YES!

I want these 2 versions of the characters more than any other!

Make MYP He-Man's sporran sculpted on. If the 4H can sculpt non-functional dials and levers on Hurricane Hordak, then they can sculpt a sporran.

**midor** · August 13, 2011, 06:36pm

2 paaaaaaaaaaaaaaak

Oh wait. those got cancelled.

Still want them any way.

**MegaGearMax** · August 13, 2011, 07:33pm

Heh. I guess we call these Battleground He-Man and Battleground Skeletor?

Not a bad idea.

I had a TMNT "sporran" when I was a kid.

I went with Removable Sporran since a sculpted on one has been deemed "anime Hyperdetail" and it would interfere with the people who'd want a "More Vintage" 200X He-Man... or whatever logic the Mattel people use regarding 200X Elements...

I totally had a minor brain fart today and forgot the D-Man feet! Thanks for reminding me Dark Sorceress!!

**kylun flac** · August 13, 2011, 08:53pm

yes! still ready & wanting 200x s & hm variants

**bamf1980** · August 13, 2011, 08:55pm

I'd be more for this than for FILMation versions.

I don't want either. I'm happy with what we got in a regular He-Man and Skeletor figure. Keep the variants meaningful. Adding a fanny pack and a hyper anime sword or changing the skin tone and hair style isnt worth paying $30+ for.

No Filamation variants of figures we already have. Plus 200x He-Man can be made with King Grayskull. There you go, you got your figure

Not quite. Back in January, Toyguru said that there could be a 200X He-Man variant that isn't a kitbashed King Grayskull.

Answers to WTFWTK 2.51!

4. Sabertooth:
In Pixel Dan's video review of reissue King Grayskull we have seen that a classic'ized version of 200X He-Man can be created by combining pieces of the reissue King Grayskull figure, the Man-at-Arms figure and the He-Man figure. Does this mean that a classic'ized version of 200X He-Man will not get a unique release in the MOTUC line?

In all honestly this was not intentional and was a nice bonus. We would still love to tackle a “classicized” version of 200X He-Man one day and, yes, he would look very similar to the kit bash fans have created using King Grayskull’s body and He-Man head. Likely the changes would include recolored belts and bracelets as well as a new chest piece that did not have the cape holders on the shoulder. Nothing too drastically different. He would certainly have the same head and body.

That was before the avenue for simple repaints (MOTU vs DC 2 packs) were cancelled. I would assume these simple repaints wouldn't be coming until the "logistics" were worked out

he would be a retool not a repaint so he would never have been in the TRU 2-pack

From what TG described, 200X He-Man would be like Battleground Evil-Lyn. Actually, with a new harness, he would fare even better than she did.

Don't forget the fanny pack. In Australia, we call them Fleshlights

It is the same in Australia too. But you would need to know what fanny means here to understand what I meant

**Mern-Ra** · August 14, 2011, 03:49am

I will always support mullets, so yeah, bring on this two pack!
