Greetings!

Hello and all that jazz!

I've been lurking here for a couple of weeks and decided, what the heck I'll join and see what happens.

So a brief history of me and MOTU/POP:

I was just getting out of playing much with toys & action figures when the original line came out (I peaked as a kid with the Micronauts). A friend in elementary school brought in He-Man and Tri-Klops (as I recall) - and I remember holding them to see what they were like. The only time I had the original figures in my hands as a kid!

Watched the HMatMOTU cartoon, of course, but by the time She-Ra came to TV, I was in high school and missed all the weekday cartoons because of the later schedule I kept. Also missed out on the New Adventures of He-Man and the MYP show. It was during production (or not long after, not sure which) of the MYP show, though, that I found a few figures at a local convention and on a lark got them - Snake Hunter He-Man, Serpent Hunter Mekaneck and Snake Teela. I had them out on display with some other figures for awhile, but eventually put them away.

When Dark Horse came out with the mini-comic collection, I picked it up. I'd heard the He-Man mini-comics were some of the best mini-comics done in the 80s mini-comics boom and it had a number of solid artists I was already familiar with. After finishing it (it was great!), I got to thinking about what the line was like now. Found out about MOTUC and I read some reviews and I have to say I really liked what I saw of the MOTUC line.

I was on the fence about jumping in to buy any though, but I read a review of the Octavia figure (a character I'm not even sure I've seen in the Filmation cartoons) and that figure tipped me over. I was already planning to go to two different local conventions, one a comic convention, the other a toy convention. Between the two of them and the Matty site I got a few figures (plus a complete and in-box Oberon for my Micronauts' Force Commander at the toy convention, bwa-ha-ha! *ahem*). Started coming here regularly to read more about the line, upcoming developments, ankles and such.

Which leads me to joining and this post!

I also dug out the old figures and found besides the ones I remembered above I also had Mer-Man. I don't remember getting Mer-Man and I'm not sure how he got there.



I can only guess I got him so Snake Teela wouldn't be so put upon having the other two hunt her all the time, but I don't recall doing it!

Anyhow, since Octavia was what pushed me over on my way here, here's a shot of her (I gave her Snake Teela's sword so she would have a weapon in each hands - and she got the drop on poor Moss Man and Peekablue...)
