    Who will Toyguru/Mattel kill next?

    Let's see, to celebrate the 30th anniversary, the first figure of the year, Sorceress was "killed" in her bio.
    Before the middle of the year we find out that Man-At-Arms is killed in his Snake MAA bio.

    Who's next?

    Personally, I think it's Orko "Only three others share this secret - the Sorceress, Man-at-Arms and Orko". And they are being killed in that order too...

    you could be right.

    In my universe, nobody. Don't care what revisionist history the bios produce.

    Prince Adam so his son can take the Mantle of He-man

    I honestly think this is a posibility

    No one. It's just a war between all the factions and no one dies in war.
    One of the true fan minority - happy MOTU fans!

    If Adam becomes He-Man permanantly like it has been implied (original NA mini-comic and mention of King He-Man in bios), then metaphorically speaking this could be true.

    By the Goddess!! A bloodthirsty year for Toyguru: he's killing off Sorceress, Vykron and now Man-At-Arms!

    I don't see how this strategy improves sales. If anything, killing characters off removes display options for fans. The slaughter has to stop!

    I don't want to know the end of the story. Let the imaginations of the fans hold sway.

    I don't know. I'm ok with characters dying in MOTUC. We have great wars and epic battles occurring, an it would make no sense for all factions involved to walk away unscathed. While I'm not a fan of death being used to shock necessarily, I do think it's an important aspect to help raise the stakes from a storyline perspective.

    I think you are joking, but not sure lol

    Just b/c a character is dead in one cannon or story of MOTU, shouldnt mean someone will not display that figure

    and your last comment about imagination is the back bone of MOTU, people should always tell the stories they like and want, thats the best part about the MOTU
    the ignore list is my new best friend

    I agree with you there and am confused as to why some fans want to know how it ends. Does anyone want an ending to Superman or Batman? Do they want to know when Spider-Man finally kicks it? If not, then why do they want to know how Masters of the Universe ends?

    yeah thats one of the problems I have with the bios, TG is telling a story that seems to 'end' everything. it makes no sense to do so, esp in that format.

    I hope it's the Star Sisters and Mo-Larr on the chopping block next. That's 4 saves for characters people actually like. (I am also cool with putting Snout Spout out of his misery too.)
