Oh man, a filmation sub line would be great. Bring on lord masque. He's my must have before the line finishes. I love the way icer looks too. He's always been a filmation fav of mine.
This is a great comparison photo. Batros and Icer will look no less detailed than a great majority of the figures in the line. I also think when compared to The Sorcerss, She-ra, and Adora that Shokoti will also show that she is not less detailed. She will next to Teela and Evil-Lyn but that outfit is one of the most detailed in the line.Originally Posted by Mike Bock
Well said.
I love that shot of Icer in the snow, makes me wish I was still back East so I could pose my figures in the snow. If we get Nepthu I can photograph him in the sand at the beach.

batros shokoti icer just look awesome
i didnt even want icer or batros but i cant wait to get em now
Filmation dropped details from He-Man himself, let alone MAA, Teela, Mer-Man and the rest. No boot straps, belt or bracer detail or the squares on his armor. That's the type of embelishment that Shokoti and other Filmation characters could have used instead of a simple glove or boot.
All the reveals are amazing.
Watched the Shokoti episodes again last night & saw the Icer episode this morning. Quite like Icer.
I think the amount of detail is in the expectation of the fan. Batros has new details that blend so well with the character, that it looks plain to the people who are used to his filmation look. Look closer. He has a ton of sculpt details added to his new boots, his head, and even the fact he has the standard bracers...like the majority of popular characters. I am of the impression too many fans are just looking for more stylistic additions that would inevitably divide the fans on how they should be done. We have lost too much of the magic of new figures as adults, examining as if we were art inspecters, and it is sad.
I still get that tingle in my spine with new figures, just to see new things coming for my beloved toys. I hope I never grow up.

Classic Want list: Stinkor shield, Extendar, Snake Face, Snout Spout, Battle Bones, Snake mountain parts, Blasterhawk, Fright Fighter, Talon fighter radar dish, Beam blaster & Artilleray, Megalaser, jetsled, and Eternia
I think the Filmation Randor and Fang Man are the two best examples of plain designs for the figures. They just need more textures. Shokoti is nice but she has the Filmation look for sure. My huge complaint though is with Batros. His wings should have been done in the vain of Draego-Man or Lord Dactys. Classics is supposed to be a perfect blend of all designs but he is a direct cartoon version. This is the same problem I have with anyone who gets no updates from the 200x era. It needs to be more consistent and have influences from all eras and let the Horsemen have some creative freedom!!! For example, if Rio Blast does not get any staction features I and many others will be ******. Mosquitor got a new detail but so few have. But now if we get Lord Dactys that would mean there are 2 bat races which is lame IMO. But I'm sure they'll figure it out.
Is it me, or does that new Icer photo (in the snow) Look like the figure is already plastic and NOT a proto-type? He looks like production to me, meaning we should see him much sooner than later.
Check out my band The Caterpillar Book on iTunes, Rhapsody, Amazon, etc.
These are Filmation characters... if they didn't look like they did in the Filmation cartoon... then they wouldn't be Filmation characters. They have liscense to do Filmation characters... they do not have liscense to redo the Filmation characters to however they think YOU want them to look. (Filmation characters)(I bet he still doesn't get it
)
Cool checklist:
http://pages.suddenlink.net/soundwav...checklist.html
Yeah but Batros if from Etheria where Dactys is from Eternia. But if that can;t help maybe Batros is actually a humanoid who allowed himself to be genetically altered with 'bat' DNA which can explain his appearance and help those who are not happy with things like his wings...
'Tis the wind and nothing more.....
Fang Man actually has quite a bit of texture if you look.
Classics is a "perfect blend of all designs"...but Batros only had ONE design. Nothing else to blend there. It's one thing to mix-and-max different looks for characters with multiple looks, but updating one just for the sake of updating it without cause would probably alienate a sizeable chunk of the fans who already want Batros.
Who all hasn't had at least a little something taken from their 200x looks, supposing they had them? Moss Man and Whiplash came with their 200x heads, Stinkor and Fisto had a 200x-ish head, Mantenna definitely has 200x influence, Webstor got the back legs, Kobra Khan got his little friend, Sy-Clone got whatever that thing is on his back, etc., etc. Sure, a few (Clawful) have been very faithful to the vintage, it's really not like they're dominant.
MOTUC Wishlist Goatman, Dylamug, Songster, Evil Robot, Tuvar and Badra, Game Master, Grayskull Robot, Lizard Man, Karg, Prahvus, Skelcon(s), the new villains from He-Ro/Dare, Plundor
He looks ready to ship.
Yes, I thought that as well. It looks like the "real-deal" to me, as appose to the figures we usually see at TF.
Awesome
Dragstor for me.
Filmation is Filmation, Classics is not full of super detailed figures, that was 200X, not Classics. Filmation characters do have more detail when translated to Classics. I mean how much more do people want? If you don't want them, don't buy them, I'm not buying NA or most 200X figures / characters, because I don't like or want them, but I'm not complaining about them being in MOTUC. If I get a figure in my sub, I will be selling it, sure it would be nice if you didn't have to, but it is what it is, and everyone with a sub knows it.
Filmation fits Classics style just fine, 200X on the other hand had oversized characters, anime styled hair, over detailing....now that, wouldn't fit, as that is not Classics....Classics is supposed to be Vintage styling, but modernized....and Filmation fits that bill to a T, NA fits, POP fits, Mini Comics fit....200X characters....yes, styling....no.
Batros is awesome just as he is, he didn't have Dragon wings, he didn't have bird wings, he didn't have butterfly wings, he had bat type wings....therefore as he appeared in Filmation, is the way he shouls appear in MOTUC.
I suppose everyone would be satisfied if Icer had gotten ice-cycle nippies Madonna style or something. But I forgot, so long as it's Filmation, no matter how detailed, they will be hated on.
Recent....Foe Men, Karatti & Spirit of Hordak
Coming....
Wanted....Filmation Hordak & Clawful, Seahawk, Castaspella, Batros & Icer
Considering....Mosquitor, Leech
Needed....Dragstor, Mantenna,Two Bad & Attack Trak
I bet Icer is production. AND I bet it changes color when exposed to cold... like Orko at SDCC. I bet the clear version is the normal temp version, and I bet it turns blue when it's been exposed to cold long enough or cold water.

You must be up to something here!
Unless they change something, I do not think Batros was introduced as Etherian. He wasn't on She-Ra's show, he appeared on Eternia in He-Man's show as an established villain. I don't know how that might be reconciled with another bat-like race, but technically there are a ton of reptile-based races after adding Filmation (Caligars, Snake Men, Reptons, and Reptile Men at least) and Batros looks quite a bit more different from Dactys than a lot of those guys look from each other.

Evil-Lyn's gimmick is that she's Evil...so...there's that.
Take part in Illumina Day! Let people know who she is and help get her in MOTUC.

I thought the same thing. Out of the leaked pics Mantenna seems pretty finished off as well.
200X fan? Classic fan? What does that mean? I'm a MotU fan!!!

This is Jitsu in reverse. Remember when fans were complaining that Jitsu's face was too detailed? Someone is either too detailed or too simplistic for SOMEONE'S taste.
People aren't asking for 200X style detail where every rivet or seam was sculpted or each loincloth was unique, but some of the original characters of the Vintage Era have already set a higher standard for detail with their costumes. Teela is SUPER detailed compared to She-Ra. Man-At-Arms' Vintage toy/cardback armor is incredibly detailed, but it was simplified down for the cartoon. Now Bow and Bubble Power She-Ra are good examples of how to add slightly more detail to a character and still keep them recognizable.
Lol the exact same! I was like... uhh and these guys are wwhoo exactly oh wait it doesn't matter! They look splendid!
Sorry man! I just didnīt see it!I posted this like 4 pages ago....
