The Coolest Figure this month is Chief Carnivus (reissue)

[seth-man]

IMO, this is the lamest month for Classics. Leech...Shoulda been so cool! Instead we get a figure that feels like a mediocre custom. I understand trying to keep cost down but they coulda gone in so many different directions to do this figure justice. Personally, I would have bit the bullet and built a bigger buck. Figures like Ram-Man or a 200x Beastman or 200x Whiplash could have shared parts.

Hurricane Hordak is just kinda Meh.. for me as well. No reason to really have him. I'm surprised there doing 2 Hordesman this month.

So If I was gonna buy anything this Month...Which I probably won't, It would be Chief Carnivus whom I skipped on his original release.

Oh well, Guess I can save some money and look forward to Flipshot nxt month!

IMO, Carnivus wasn't the coolest figure when he was the only figure. I can't wait for Leech and HH.

[DarthBrett]

If by coolest, you mean the figure that is ice cold in terms of popularity...well then yes! LOL

[Dark Sorceress]

i do like Chief Carnivus better then that vac HH

[demiscy]

If I order JUST this one figure, will it be sent with a bubble mailer?

[Teacher of Madness]

Even though the reviews tell me Leech isn't as good as he should have been, he still looks freakin great to me. Can't wait to get him in about 10-12 days. One of my favorite toys as a kid, and I have no problem with the looks of this version.

HH I'm not too excited for, but variants are pretty boring to me.

And Carnivous is one of my least favorite MOTUC figures.

No, they stopped using the bubble mailers few months ago (June I think).

Carnivus IS the coolest figure! Seriously, if I didn't already own him, he would be the only figure that I would be buying on this sale.

All the other stuff is junk including Leech with his stupid head.

Since I got into MOTUC, this is the first sales month in which there is nothing for me to buy. Last month I only bought Man-E-Faces while before, I would have bought almost all the MOTUC figures released for the month including reissues as I came late in the line.

If it wasn't for Leech having that goofy head, he would have been a MUST BUY but as he is, he sucks and not interested. The dial on Hordak was also a sale killer too.

This is how much the line is failing for me..

[Haephestus]

I LOVE LEECH!

Slug-men are way better than cat-men!

[Uki]

Carnivus is a great, interesting figure. I'm glad I have him and welcome other MYP characters (Dactys, Ceratus, Kulatuk Chief, Queen Andreenos, Dekker, the ABC giants, Sor-Tek, Circe/The Siren...).

Still...

Leech rocks! I'm so excited for him; I don't agree with any of the negaivity surrounding him.

I'm actually just as excited for HHH, too, for all the reasons people don't like him it seems. I guess one man's complaint is my windfall!

[VaultsofGrayskull]

If by coolest, you mean the figure that is ice cold in terms of popularity...well then yes! LOL

I'll second that. I am not a Carnivus fan at all, but fair play to everyone who does like him.

I know there have been some concerns about fitting the standard leg parts onto Leech, but I still don't think he looks bad. I think it's a pretty good month for the Horde.

If it wasn't for Leech having that goofy head, he would have been a MUST BUY but as he is, he sucks.

Isn't that the idea?

[RockinHard]

HH looks great.

Leech should have new upper arms and upper legs to match the bulky torso.

[Count Marzo]

There isnt a single Horde character that Carnivus is even close to being as cool as. And I'm talking EVERY Horde Character from the vintage line, Filmation, concepts, 200x, and future Horde members...if we see any.

[shadowfall1976]

Leech does suck.....well that's what he supposed to do - minus the gimmick that is.

Actually to me, I did own the vintage Leech as a kid, as well as the Kobra Kahn with the
mist gimmick, while looking back neither did I actaully like, Kahn is the only one I will be
getting now, because his update is just too nice not to, while Leech is um, really, really
(not the cool, good kind either) bad, too bulky and not well proportioned at all.

[Hordak]

I am more excited for Leech. Sorry Carnivus just kind of sits on my shelf and rarely do I pick him up to admire him. I hate the way his hair is sculpted. I also don't like the angle his right hand is sitting at. It makes some poses awkward.He is just one of those figures I could have done without.

Leech looks fine in my opinion. Maybe my thoughts will change once I have him in hand but from what I can tell I think he looks great. Hurricane Hordak looks ok but a variant is a variant so I can't get as excited for him.

So I disagree. I think Carnivus is the worst of the three. I will say though that the Matty photos of Leech are horribly posed and look to have been rushed.

[kup]

Isn't that the idea?

Allow me to rephrase - He sucks the wrong way

[Larry Waters]

This is a pretty lame month.

Not PoP or NA lame, but not too far off...

[Rakashian Calamari]

LOL, some of these responses are funny. Chief Carnivus I will have to disagree with the original poster and say is the least interesting of the three MOTUC releases this month. Leech is just fine and HH is nice too. I already have Carnivus and think he's over rated. He what had a combined total of 15 minutes of screen time in the whole 200X series?

Kup, you should really refrain from being so insulting in your criticisms. The Four Horsemen work very hard on these figures, and they are a form of sculpted art, even though they're a product. You wouldn't go on the customs forum and call someone else's work JUNK, STUPID, GOOFY, and say it SUCKS, would you? Just because a figure doesn't meet your individual expectations, doesn't mean it's bad. Think about that.

You are entitled to your opinion of course, but there are more constructive ways of voicing it.

[Larry Waters]

Leech is another "Clawful" (and Buzz-Off, to a lesser extent) for many of us, in that if the head had been more of a hybrid of old and new we'd like it much more.

Leech DOES have a goofy-looking head, SO not worthy of the 4H stamp. The real issue is that we've SEEN what they can do with characters and just because a sculpt was limited in the 80s because of technology (Leech) or lack of imagination (Clawful and Buzz-Off) doesn't mean it should be carbon-copied for this line.

Just my opinion.

ANOTHER reason that abandoning multiple heads in these cases was an incredible misstep. I'd have bought an extra of all 3 of the aforementioned figures if they had gone the Whiplash/MossMan/Fisto route.

[CarKrash]

Lets hear it for Captain Carnivore!

QFT. Carnivus is the lamest this month, and one of the lamest of the whole line. IMO the 4h (whom I LOVE) have shown their fallibility on the 200x figures. Faceless One, Carnivus and Marzo are pretty bleh.

Absolutely. Mattel could have pleased so many more fans by including a few extra heads.

[captainamerica]

Carnivus is awesome! But I have 2 already.

Just curious, how would you have improved upon these releases? I feel Carnivus is easily among the top 5 figures in the line thus far, and Marzo well into the top 10. Faceless One is pretty cool too. To me, they're certainly among the more visually interesting releases (I've never understood the 'boring' accusations for Carnivus, even though you didn't state this explicitly), and I'm not sure how the 4H's fallibility is on display here. What makes them bleh?
