    I have two subs. I'm keeping one of everything but will sell off certain extra figures.

    I got three subs for the first time to help support the line (I normally just get two).

    1st sub is my loose and I'm keeping all of those.
    2nd sub is my MOC and I'm keeping all of those.
    3rd sub is my extra for customization and to give as presents or sell to friends.

    So, to breakdown my 3rd sub:

    Netossa - Giving or Selling
    Ram Man - Giving
    Jitsu - Giving
    Fang Man - Keeping
    King He Man - Keeping
    Snake Face - Keeping
    Fighting Foe Men - Keeping (will be great to customize)
    Karatti - Giviing or Selling
    Octavia - Giving
    Clamp Champ - Keeping
    New Adventures He Man - Keeping
    Geldor - Keeping

    I'm pretty much in all the way and keeping everything. The worst of it was in the 30th figures, and I stuck with those.

    In most cases I wait until I have the figure in hand to decide but this is what I'm thinking.

    Netossa - Kept
    Ram Man - Keeping
    Jitsu - Keeping
    Fang Man - Keeping
    King He Man - Keeping
    Snake Face - Keeping
    Fighting Foe Men - Keeping
    Karatti - Possibly Selling
    Octavia - Keeping for sure, most anticipated figure of the year.
    Clamp Champ - Keeping
    New Adventures He Man - Possibly Selling
    Geldor - Pretty sure I'm Selling, don't understand how or why this guy won, he's boring.


    Bring on more POP and Filmation, enough with the vintage MOTU, we need to fill in other ranks.

    One sub; keeping everything. Haven't sold a single thing yet, and technically haven't missed any (Tytus due to an error, but got him later, and I don't plan on tracking down SDCC King Grayskull or any other specials like that).

    Fun thread! I like to see people's thoughts. I broke down mine a little more. I have two subs, so the GR stuff that inevitably gets chunked, will always half be saved for my baby girl to one day enjoy.

    The Rating Scale:

    Display = awesome and immediately on the shelf, even if I need to make room
    Temp = on the shelf, but better future offerings will likely take it's place
    Limbo = to the storage box, but maybe it'll return, not likely though
    Chunked = tossed in the storage box never to be seen again

    The Line-Up:

    Netossa - Chunked
    Ram Man - Display
    Jitsu - Display
    Fang Man - Temp
    King He Man - Temp
    Snake Face - Display
    Fighting Foe Men - Limbo
    Karatti - Limbo
    Octavia - Temp
    Clamp Champ - Display
    New Adventures He Man - Chunked
    Geldor - Temp

    The break down:

    Display 4
    Temp 4
    Limbo 2
    Chunked 2

    So with "Display" and "Temp" being good, and "Limbo" and "Chunked" being bad, I'm coming up on top so far this year.

    Netossa - Would love to sell or trade but it appears there isn't much of a market.
    Ram Man - Keeping
    Jitsu - Keeping
    Fang Man - Would like to sell or trade, but the sword of anchients may hook me into keeping.
    King He Man - Would like to sell or trade
    Snake Face - Keeping
    Fighting Foe Men - Keeping
    Karatti - Would like to sell or trade
    Octavia - Need to see in-hand, but Would like to sell or trade
    Clamp Champ - Keeping
    New Adventures He Man - Would like to sell or trade
    Geldor - Would like to sell or trade

    I basically subbed only to ensure I got a Ram Man and Jitsu. Hoping for more vintage reveals (Two-Badd and/or Mantenna would be nice). hit me up if anyone wants to make a deal for the ones I don't want.

    Thanks!

    I have 3 subs, I keep minimum of 2 of each of all of them. The 3rd is in case of a custom or alternate look/head, otherwise they will be sold or traded off...maybe. I will hold onto Netossa for now, as it is not the best time to try and move her. First 4 figures of the year, probably wont need the 3rd figure. I dont know if I will have/need 2 opened Ram Mans.

    I could never sell or throw anything away even if it's a character that I find extremely boring or lame looking. This franchise is my favorite of them all and I want a collection that's as complete as possible.
    Snake Men need a woman of their own too!

    Proud supporter of the Snake Men.

    Most Wanted: Slave Girl, Horde Trooper, Eldor, Spinnerella, Mermista, Peekablue, Crita, Lizorr, Tyrantisaurus Rex, Battle Ram.
    Most Wanted for Filmation Sub: Scorpia, Madame Razz with Broom, Lord Masque, Sea Hawk, Ileena, Granita, General Sunder, Lizard Man.

    The only ones I don't like or want are Netossa and the Fighting Foe Men.

    Selling: Netossa, Karatti, Geldor.

    Keeping: Ram Man, Jitsu, King He-Man, FFM, Octavia.

    Everything else is up in the air at this point. I'll decide on a case-by-case basis.

    Granted, i'll keep any motu figure this side of mo-larr, but if i were a cherry picker Ram-Man would be the first to go. On the other end, i plan on getting two Snake Faces.

    Selling Fighting Foe Men, NA He-man, Karatti, and Geldor, still on the fence about King He-man though.

    1 sub, keeping all!

    On another point, I still don't get the disgust with the FFM. Would people have liked them better if they were released individually? I just don't see how people don't think they're cool, especially with all those old vehicle nods. I feel that way about just about everything, but it is easier for me to see why people don't like a cy-chop, spector, or sir laser lot than it is to see why they don't like the FFM.
