What are the Essential VARIANTS of MOTUC in the All Star Years?

**King Tamusk** · January 20, 2013, 09:10pm

There are quite a few variants out there left to be made, from the vintage lines, 200X, and even some cartoon versions. So I'll try to cover as many as I can. Which one do you want in MOTUC?

- - - Updated - - -

I didn't have the room for all the vintage variants (those 200X variants take up a huge chunk and I didn't even get them all). But, I'd also like New Adventures Sorceress, Snake Mekaneck, Blue Outfit Prince Adam, Battleground Marlena, Captain Randor, Filmation Count Marzo, Filmation Tung Lasher, Cloak and Dagger Evil-Lyn or Young Evil-Lyn, Gray, and Slime Monster He-Man.

I like the variants and I hope the line can continue for years to come so we can get some of these, but in an "All Star Year" I would say none of the variants are "Essential" especially when stacked up against new unique characters. It was good to mix variants in when the line was focused on being able to have a strong line up year after year, but now that the focus is on getting out the "All Stars" I think that means variants go on the back burner.

So my vote is "None". But if I was to vote for one variant I would want to see above all others included in my Classics collection I would choose NA Skeletor. But again, my real hope is that the line continue into 2016 and beyond so we can see all of these make it into our collections--they are just not essential in an "All Star Year" when there are so many characters missing and factions under-represented.

Well the 1st five on your list for sure. Then I also voted for Snake Armor He-Man & 200x Sorceress.

**jzachery** · January 20, 2013, 10:15pm

Honestly I'm done with variants. The only two that could be justified in my mind is Filmation Hordak and NA Skeletor.

**shadowfall1976** · January 20, 2013, 10:21pm

Not on the list.....But I feel essential for my collection, if made.

Filmation Hordak, a much better looking Hordak, in my opinion, never had the Vintage Hordak, this is the true version I recognize as Hordak.
Filmation Clawful, a unique look, completely different from the Vintage toy.

Variants I would rather see main Vintage MOTU & POP figures made before, but would love to get eventually.

On the list....I voted for.
Flying Fist He-Man

**Mr_Yuck** · January 20, 2013, 10:21pm

I put in my vote for the following:

Flying Fist He-Man
Terror Claws Skeletor
NA Skeletor
Starburst She-Ra

I also voted "Other" as I'd love to see a vintage Catra done as "Pre-Horde" Catra variant

**DC_WARLORD** · January 20, 2013, 10:57pm

PRINCE ADAM ( blue vest/no sleeves, no leggings )

**Ornclown** · January 20, 2013, 11:59pm

Definitely:

-Flying Fist He-Man

-Terror Claws Skeletor

-Laser Light Skeletor

-Laser Power He-Man

And of course, Disks of Doom NA Skeletor!! I loved the "second season" version of Skeletor from New Adventures! Oh, and Snake Armor (200X) He-Man is also a must!

**kylun flac** · January 21, 2013, 12:17am

Flying Fist He-Man
Terror Claws He-Man
New Adventures Skeletor
Snake Armor He-Man
Ice Armor He-Man (200x)
King Hssss (200X)
Captain Randor (200x)
Teela 2.0 (200x)
Adam (200x)

**yeahthatsme1973** · January 21, 2013, 12:42am

Other for NONE of them. No more variants until other figures are released. I could do without any of them.

**Micro-Man** · January 21, 2013, 02:34am

I only voted for a few: Starburst She-Ra, Shower Power Catra, Disks of Doom Skeletor (As the default NA variant) and my personal favorite...

Terror Claws Skeletor!

**Barbecue17** · January 21, 2013, 09:54am

I voted for Starburst She-Ra, NA Skeletor, and 200x Sorceress.

SB She-Ra because I agree with some others who have suggested she could be the "New Adventures era" She-Ra that ties into the bio story.

NA Skeletor because he represents an actual change in Skeletor's physical appearance and composition.

And 200x Sorceress because she seems like she could be released as an earlier character from the Preternia era or the years inbetween then and the present.

**wyldman11** · January 21, 2013, 10:17am

Other for a 200x or filmation styled Teela

200x Sorceress (not likely to happen with how many didn't like her costume)

Ice Armor He-man

**Rodster6** · January 21, 2013, 12:56pm

NA Skeletor as he has some relevance. The others are pointless.

**pH6** · January 21, 2013, 03:13pm

'Variant' is a bit misleading for some of my choices...I've been saying for years that they should make Hook'em Brakk and Too-Tall Hoove as the primary (and seeing how much NA gets represented), and only release for those figures. Especially for Brakk it's basically a matter of an extra accessory...and Too-Tall Hoove is much closer to the concept art than the first vintage Hoove.

Agreed! Apart from NA Skeletor (to display along the mutants) and Filmation Hordak (hopefully released with Imp), I don't think we need that many variants ...

Surely it would be nice to see Snake Teela, 200X Hisss, 200X Sorceress or a Catra variant, but I don't consider them essentials to the line right now. With so many POP, NA or Filmation characters yet to be made, I think that they should slow down on characters variants for now...

**zodak74** · January 21, 2013, 05:36pm

My "other" vote would have to be for Classic Toy Costume Catra.

**danielsan52** · January 21, 2013, 05:48pm

I want Mini-Comic Tri-Klops, Mini-comic Trap Jaw, and Secret Liquid of Life Teela

**iron_pride** · January 22, 2013, 04:17pm

Ice Armor He-Man
Flying Fists he-Man
Terror Claws Skeletor
Shower Power Catra
Starburst She-Ra
New Adventurs Skeletor

**MrRoboto** · January 22, 2013, 09:09pm

Flying Fists He-Man, Terror Claws Skeletor, Hurricane Hordak, New Adventures Skeletor, Snake Armour He-Man, Battle Sound Skeletor and Sorceress.

**Uki** · January 22, 2013, 10:28pm

I love variants, but didn't vote for all if these. In the Other category, I'd like these: DC Adam, minicomic Trap Jaw, Alcala Stratos, Old Man Marzo, Spirit (technically), old Randor (Search for Keldor), old Marlena, Filmation colors Hordak, red Beast Man, blonde up-do Teela (and red hair down!)...

**Jubilation** · January 23, 2013, 02:50pm

I voted other as I don't feel any of the variants left are essential. I'd rather have characters that haven't been done already.

**MegaGearMax** · January 23, 2013, 03:01pm

I voted:

Flying Fist He-Man
Terror Claws Skeletor
New Adventures Skeletor
Battle Blade Skeletor/Disks of Doom Skeletor
Snake Armor He-Man
Ice Armor He-Man
King Hssss (200X)
Sorceress (200X)

I can see Serpent Claw Man-At-Arms's gray armor being included in a Weapon's Pack.

There are a host of other variants that I'd want.

Blue Vest Adam
Mini-Comic Tri-Klops
Green Trap Jaw
Red Beast Man
Caucasian Stratos
Orange Ram Man
Orange Roboto

**JoeyCruel** · January 24, 2013, 07:21am

I voted other because I need more Adams!
The comic version:

And the 200x version:
