It's mainly the heads that have changed so they look more like the cartoon. Other parts have changed slightly as well, but yeah they're pretty darn close.Quote:

I see the classics that were brought back in I'm guessing around 2000 and I'm going to try to buy some of those. Are these new vintage classics made by the same company? Surely they are.
These are the first 4. There was a Commemorative collection released by Mattel in 2000. These new ones are done by Super7 which got a license from Mattel to make MOTU figures.Quote:

oh, wow. that is interesting. im looking into buying some of the 2000 line right now, seems most affordable to buy for my boy.
I think that is a great idea and if you want to go with the new vintage figures now is the time to get them.Quote:

I placed a pre-order with Super 7 a few days ago and received an email with my order number. Is there a way to check status on a pre-order?

September is the release date list and is there any chance these might come out before then ?
I’ve already pre ordered. Hoping to have them before my sons birthday In August 31.
If what you pre-ordered was to be on the cardbacks, I wouldn’t expect anything earlier than what they said (September). Even later, perhaps, but not earlier. They initially said July for the two packs, I think, but we’ll see!Quote:

I just received an email stating that the pre-orders for the 2 packs start to ship out next week, an update on when Stridor will ship will come later.
when were the two packs orginally supposed to be released?
I think they are pretty much on schedule, possibly slightly early. They said towards the end of July.Quote:

New here (actually been gone for a VERY long time). I have a few questions, I have skimmed thru the thread but don't see them readily answered because I guess it assumed most here already know the answers.
1) When are these Filmation style figures for sale and how much do they cost? I don't see them on Super7 site.
I did see some on Ebay and it seems they are going for 100 or more per figure. WOW. My budget can't fit that, do you think the price will ever get in the 25 dollar range each for them?
2) Why isn't Mattel making these? They gave a license for Super7 to do them?
Seem like dumb questions, I know. But been away for a while.
1. They are up for pre-order now on the super7 site for $20 each and should ship in September.Quote:

This was a little tricky to find. I get how someone could miss it if they didn’t know what they were looking for. It’s under Featured Products, but doesn’t come up if you just click on MOTU.

OK, I missed that Mattel made Filmations versions. That's how out of the loop I am. How long ago were the filmation Skeletors that are on ebay going for 200 or more dollars made? Mattel logo is onthem. Seems from what I read it's a partnership with MATTEL, not a full rights sell over. Odd that Mattel themselves wouldn't want to produce such figures, that's what puzzles me. Anyone enlighten me as to why they do that?
Mattel made the first wave of the Classics filmation figures, 6 of them. He Man, Skeletor, Trap Jaw, Evil Lyn, Evil Seed, Beastman and Clawful. and then closed shop. The rights went to Super7 and they have released one wave so far and taken pre-orders for wave two.Quote:

Coupled to that, there was also rumour that the amount of criticism (using a nice word) by the fan community also had a part to play in the decision.
As mentioned above, in the Vintage line there are the 3 Terros and their variants and pre-orders for the first wave are up now. The next wave is likely to be Eldor, He-Ro, Beastman and Man at Arms.
In my opinion, S7 have had some teething issues, but are really good at listening to the fans and have released some really nice figures so far.
I am in love with that Mattel Skeletor (Filmation) now seen on ebay but no way I can afford paying close to 300 for it. How long ago did they make those? I missed the boat on that one. What was their original retail cost?
A couple years ago or so and $20 or 25 I believe. As classics and Filmation (classics) were sold at same time don't remember the exact price, especially since I never got them as I had had enough and quit Classics by then!Quote:
