    Hi everyone, newbie from the UK!

    Hi, I am a long time lurker who's finally took the leap to sign up!

    My first exposure to MOTU was playing with my mates older brother's original He-man figures (Moss man and Leech being my favourites) until getting into New Adventures myself (i know, i know...)

    Fast forward to my late teens, I discover the 200x series and it really draws me in, so much so that I went out and bought all of the figures I could find! 200x became my favourite MOTU thing of all time and really drew me in to the mythos on a whole.

    I later moved into the MOTUC line, thinking it would fit in scale with 200x... so I decided to cherry pick the line... i'd missed out on the first sub sign up, but back then it wasn't too hard or expensive to play catch up.

    Around this time I got into toy photography and nothing is more fun than doing some MOTUC shots!

    I recently set up www.motuacba.com to showcase all my photos and keep them together in one handy place!

    Thank you both!

    dedset13, i'll head over to that thread and post some of my personal favourites!

    That Lord Masque pic was really a happy accident, I was going for something moody, but didn't really know what and it just so happened the smoke and stuff really arranged itself in that way

    Dansync, where are you from in the UK?

    I can't wait to check your site out at home, since my work computer is blocking it.

    Cool mate, i'm from Liverpool.

    I did one last night of He-man and Mer-man, kind of an inpromptu thing. I've been waiting for Vultak, had a few ideas... until I realised it hasn't even shipped yet
