It's been a while but I have returned.

I'm back on the org after a many year absence. So long in fact that my original user name was once again available.

I dig all things MOTU but mostly the action figures. I've still got all my originals from my childhood and all but a few of the 200X line. I became very disenfranchised with Mattel when I could not find several figures retail, and I refused to pay scalper/secondary market prices. I gave up entirely. I even quit visiting the org. and I guess my account lapsed. Several months ago I got a few stactions as a gift, Clawful & Rio Blast (my favorite classic characters) How I wish these would have seen fully articulated forms as the sculpts are amazing.
Anyway with the Classics line finally coming out I started lurking again and decided to join back up. I was so thoroughly happy with He-Man & Beast Man, I ordered another set to keep MOC, I ordered 2 Skeletors as well. I can't remember the last time I did that with a toy line. I hope this collection enjoys a long and prosperous run for Mattel. I will support it as much as I can and I look forward to watching my display shelf fill up with Heroic Masters & Evil Warriors. It's also nice to be back on the org after such a lengthy hiatus.

Welcome back!

Glad to have you back! I dare-say, I think I remember your screenname... Good coming back here, isn't it? Like...home!

I've got the itch to swap out my avatar for awhile. Rio-Blast is one of my favorite classic toys & the staction remains on prominent display in my toy room/mancave. Here's my original avatar for those keeping score. I'll come back to it soon.

Same thing happened with me

Welcome back

It is good to see you back. I had forgotten your user name, but the avatar rings a bell.

I lurked the boards for a few years before I finally registered in 2004.

I thought it would be really neat if housed somewhere was our old avatar changes throughout the years so we could have a retro day where we all had our avatars from a certain year. I need to check my old hard drive and find some of my old ones and use them again.

Welcome back and ... welcome home!

Welcome back to the obsession we call MOTU!

Welcome back fun!

Good that you're back!
