    No. The recent reveal was the best one of the bunch so far, but I think my NA stance is destined to remain unchanged. Optikk remains a Trap Jaw rip-off with a table tennis ball for a head. Icarius still looks better-suited for a space cop line and his ridiculous accessories keep falling off. I think Slush Head is just a goofy plastic blob. At least Carrot-head or whatever his name is looks a little more imaginative.

    It occurred to me the other day that the NA names were mostly non-descriptive, whereas the majority of Vintage MOTU names gave a clue. Tri-Klops was a take on Cyclops etc.

    But it's still the journey away from the barbarian Eternia into space which spoiled this incarnation for me, so these Classics figures don't really have much chance at all.

    Optikk = Optic (eye)
    Slush-Head = Slushy Head (water/slime in his helmet)
    etc..

    Agreed.
    That said, I like Slush-Head.

    Not really. Karatii would have had way more appeal to me, if he didn't have Trap-Jaw's legs (again!)

    This sums up my feelings about it. I've never been interested in NA, but have nothing against it. I'm all for it being in the line.

    Icarius was my first NA figure, and what had me keep an open mind towards the others. He is a masterpiece and probably the best figure in the line. Being a fan of sci-fi, I think he's awesome.
    Hydron will totally rock, I know it, and will look great next to Flipshot on the shelf. I'll keep an open mind towards NA He-Man as well. The rest of the guardians, not so much.

    I bought Optikk to go with Icarius last fall. He's 'okay'. So is Slush Head. Neither are really essential to my collection by any means, but they're probably the most interesting of all the mutants. Lizzor is okay, the rest I don't care for at all.

    I´m more interested in the NA mutant faction, not a fan of the Protectors, because most of them are humans...

    I like more the monster/mutant thing, they really look great (also Karatti)...
