OK sweet. Thanks.

These are stunning! I'm just not sure I have it in my budget for $200 a figure. Really very nice figures though! :skgrin:

First, let me say I love these things! If I can afford them, I will definitely get as many of these as I can.

One small critique, and I don't know if this has been mentioned, but the Havoc Staff seems a little on the short side to me. It shouldn't be looking eye to eye with Skeletor. [emoji1]

Does anyone know what type of packaging these will come in?

Seriously thinking about these instead of the statues now. That, or find a way to get all and hide them from my wife.

That sounds good. How easy will these exclusives be for us international fans to get?

Sounds good! When I went to order the TMNT from you guys, the exclusives sold out in Matty-style time!

The only thing I wasn't sold on was He-Man's face, but the video put my concerns to rest. He looks like a proper barbarian, but is still totally He-Man.

Yeah, I really did that face too once I got used to it. These cannot come soon enough.

I had no desire to start collecting another toy line, but these won me over FAST. These are absolutely the definitive MOTU figures to me.

Yeah, same here. They are actually kinda unbelievable. A super high-end, super posable barbarian He-Man action figure figure is something many of us only dreamt of.
Will definitely be selling some Hot Toys to fund these bad boys. :)

Yes. 12", super posable, heavily articulated.

Here is an old video showing Skeletor's skull articulation (at about the 48 second mark):

These are growing on me. Oh boy, where am I going to put these? When will they be available?

Is it me, but Alcala face looks very greenish? There was no green on Alcala's Skeletor that this clearly doing, MOTUC was very heavy on green too. I do not think it needs the green! I wish there was some hope getting that changed.

[QUOTE=BCI Guy;3682113]Yes. 12", super posable, heavily articulated.

Here is an old video showing Skeletor's skull articulation (at about the 48 second mark):

Not only did they articulate the jaw, but you can move his head INSIDE the hood? Oh man! Being unselfish and deciding not to get these makes me want to kick myself. Told my wife it's not fair for her to not get any of the Tonner dolls she likes and then I spend close to the neighborhood of $200 for 12" action figures. I looked at their TMNT figures, and they're awesome. I would love to see how they would handle more of MOTU if they were expand their line beyond He-Man and Skeletor.

I've said before the only thing I didn't like about He-Man was his face sculpt because it looks like he's got some puffy jowls. If they were to soften his features kinda like the Tweeterhead bust, he could still look like a tough guy and be more believable as coming from the same gene pool as She-Ra. At least that's what I liked about the Tweeterhead busts is how they do look like they can be twins not solely based on their hair color. It's at least something I try to consider when I make my wrestlers, but She-Ra usually ends up looking a little butch more than anything. :hmlol:

He-Man was not supposed to be a pretty boy. His vintage toy, and his first mini comic depictions, by Alcala and Texeira were anything but that. In my opinion, Mondo captured perfectly how He-Man would look if he was reimmagined in a more detailed action figure based on the original vintage toy.

As for the She-Ra connection, the earlier version of He-Man didn't have siblings, so if Mondo based their sculpture on this version make sense of him, look like a less handsome, battle hardened barbarian. And even in the case of the later He-Man, it's not necessary that two siblings look alike. For example Marvel's Scarlett Witch and Quicksilver are twins, but their appearances, their features in general are completely different.

Oh my god, Brock just posted a picture of Relay the manchine puppy on Instagram captioned 'In-progress of the most amazing collectible ever created'!

Will this come with one of the figures? Or be a separate item? I feel like it needs to be released in time for Christmas either way!

Edit: Brock just said he's going to come with 'his best friend' so my guess is that he'll be a pack in with Skeletor! If so, I just went from 90% buying it to 100%.

When I first heard about this I was excited but also "Hmm... how is that going to look?"
Now that I've seen it, it's ridiculous and I love it!
I can hear Skeletor already... "I am NOT nice!!!"
