MOTUC Mosquitor Discussion

[Aussie Stinkor]

Purely vintage mosquitor for me... Still curious on how they will do the blood tank. Wonder if they are looking into the past to see what liquid was used in 1986 line

[misschantal]

Always excited for more Horde members!

Mosquitor is one of the few vintage figures I currently own. He has a very strangely proportioned head, interested to see how that looks. Even more so, I wonder what they will do about his chest piece. I am really hoping it's something more than just swappable chest plates.

[mekaneckpain]

Whoa! I dont know the last time I have seen you so excited about a figure. Turned on? You realize there is no action features on these figures...and he would only suck blood if there was, right?

lol.

[chuc98]

He gets it, he just doesn't understand your negativity. I love the 200X design elements, especially since they can be swapped on and off. 200X is my favorite MOTU era so keep it coming!

Bingo! I grew up with the vintage line. It holds a special place in my heart, but I'm not going to belittle another aspect of MotU simply because that's what I want to do. Being negative serves no constructive purpose.

Exactly. I'm a MOTU fan. 200X may be my favorite era, but I begrudge no one their preference. I would love to see the 200X elements of the Staction as removable pieces, much as Grizzlor and Fisto were handled, so that we can all get the Mosquitor we want.

Yes but being negative makes everyone unhappy, and that's what I'm here for.

[Nemisythe]

I’m laughing at me, so feel free to join in.

I only quoted you because you were the last person to say something. Other people were suggesting that Dan promotes MOTU more than Mattel, and someone else suggested that Mosquitor’s real name should be named after Dan.

And I don’t know about ‘urinating’ Dan – that sounds mighty painful.

Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t want to take anything away from anyone. But reading threads like this, I’m expecting to see Dan walk across water. He’s a kooky guy who gets free figs and shoots some pretty cool video reviews. He doesn’t deserve anything more than any other Mosquitor fan, or MOTU fan for that matter.

Just because I’m not singing his praises, it doesn’t mean that I’m expelling him from my bladder. Dan’s an ok guy. I certainly have nothing against him (really, how could anyone?). I definitely agree that he deserved the exclusive reveal. But changing MOTU canon so that he is immortalized as one of the characters is a bit much.

All of that being said, I kinda liked the name Pixel for Kobra Khan’s friend.

Sounds fair enough to me!

[Durendal]

Congrats Dan - that was a super cool move on TG's part to let you spill the beans, acknowledging your passion for this guy. Pure class.

I wish I had a single character to rally behind to get made, but so far nobody's coming to mind. I've pleaded for a mini comics accurate Tri-Klops, but that's just a variant - I need a unique character to push for...

[shadowfall1976]

Congrats!!!

I think it's time this thread joined the Big Boys' Club outside now...!

[Smashtoys]

I'm not a fan of Mosquitor, but I am excited for him for Dan (congrats!)

I expect your video review for him would be an hour of you playing with him; making buzzing and Laser fire sounds, then ending the review with "he's sooooo awesome"

[Power Sword]

Mosquitor SUCKS!

Now MY favorite Evil Horde character Leech, ...... sucks too.

Seriously though, congrats P.D. on both Mosquitor coming soon & your web site.
My "Mosquitor" was Fisto. I got mine & was SO happy. Fisto is now my favorite figure. Now you're getting yours brutha.

HIGH FIVE!

[vadersfist]

I hope this figure wil be in the sub line cause I know I WANT him just like pixel dan does. Pixel dan has me hyped about getting this figure after all hes talked about it so bring him on I want him.

[Hemotoggy]

That totally rocks! Congrats Dan on being able to finally announce Mosquitor! And I'm loving the new site as well! Keep up the fantastic work!

[MoViEfReAk]

Oops, I did put Fisto in there again. But how are you getting 2014? Even if you take away the variant of He-man and Skeletor that still leaves 3-4 vintage MOTU characters a year and that takes us all the way to 2017. So, that'd leave the rest to POP, Filmation, NA, 200X and variants. Of course the ratio of vintage to other figures is going to start going down. None of us should be surprised by that. It doesn't mean the line is ending in 2014 or something. It just means there'll be less of the vintage character present other than in variant form.

Yes, 3 or 4 per year... sure... this year we got Fisto, Sorceress, Kahn, TP He-Man, Stinkor, Spikor, Mosquitor... that's 7 and I think there will be more at the end of the year. And then take a look back at the past years how many vintage characters we got. Then compare only the monthly figures. We got Catra in May 2011 and will get Frosta in September 2012... with no monthly figure in between (not counting BP She-Ra and the beast slot)

[DarthBrett]

So cool to see Dan got to break the news to us!! I for one am very excited to be getting Mosquitor, as he is one of the more interesting villains in the vintage MOTU universe.

Now I know a couple have already asked this, but now who was 2nd on your personal wishlist, Dan?

[Sir Reilly]

Cool news and awesome that Dan's got to reveal it!

(Now please give me Dragstor, 4Hm & Mattel!


I hope that Mosquitor's gonna get removable blood tanks as well as a removable helmet or swappable heads with the second one being the insect face revealed underneath the staction's helmet. A horde crossbow would be awesome too, maybe a purple repaint of Grizzlor's!

[Boy Wonder]

Draaaagstooorrr!!

[Skystalker]

If only Grizzlor had come with that extra head...

[bezem]

If only Grizzlor had come with that extra head...

Agreed, that would have been neat.

I'm hoping they don't "waste" tooling dollars on a new one-time-use torso like they did with Syclone. Especially when they always use the "limited tooling dollars for one time use pieces" excuse when we ask for Ram-Man.

Besides, they could easily create a thin cavity in a chest armor piece and fill it with the liquid.

[AGE]

can't wait for this guy.. always been a fan.. now where are those horde Troopers

[man-at-work]

I have had my avatar as Sagitar now for 1 1/2 years, he better be next

I would be more than happy with a Sagitar figure. Being such a cool figure I don't know whay it hasn't had fan demand.

[Matthew K]

I'm good with a pretty much straight vintage Mosquitor MOTUC, but I would like it if the eyes were a little closer to the staction with sculpted eyelids. I think a unique chest piece with a centerpiece of transluscent red plastic sculpted to look like bubbling blood would be perfect. If they threw in the staction back pack, that would be a fantastic bonus.

[Berserker79]

I hope, that Mosquitor is 90% vintage and 10% Staction.
