Mega Collector Fan of MOTU and sculptor - its good to be here!!

Long time fan of He-Man.org, wanted to join this community officially and looking forward to maybe meeting some of you at 2022's [edited year!] PowerCon.

About me and MOTU:
I still have my childhood Castle Grayskull that I received for my 5th birthday, that was a huge moment for me.
My first MOTU figure was the original Vintage Man-At-Arms, as my folks were looking for a He-Man at the time. So for likely a few months, Duncan was my MOTU world! To this day, that color scheme and design really inspire me.
My favorite MOTU cannon is with the vintage comics and 200x

My current collection of Mattel figures has it's own odd ruleset:
I have kept my original vintage MOTU collection in mostly complete form, a few things I had given away to a needy family in the early 2000's but still have my Grayskull, SnakeMountain, many figures, vehicles and even...a childhood battle worn Eternia playset (i was in deep as a kid).
However, as my odd rule I do not currently collect more of vintage, I try to keep that collection intact to my childhood experience.
All other lines are fair game! I have some items from Commemorative, a large 200x collection, a much larger Classics (Grayskull, Snakemountain - oof, its beautiful), have gone "all in" with Origins and currently have a very hard earned complete collection there, and am currently up to date with Masterverse (including that super hard to get Mattel Creations Scareglow)! Also I may have most items from MegaContrux, exception being all of the stand alone packaged figures before they changed to the MOTU card backs. Once they pulled that move, I...was...hooked!

Aside from my collection efforts, I had a background in clay sculpting / now 3D sculpting and have recently focused on some figure design fun.
Have learned how to prototype heads that fit on Origins/Masterverse buck, looking forward to getting some more inspiration here.
Examples below on some fun things I am working on:

"Surprise Surprise it's He-Man in Disguise!"

Great to be here, and thank you very much!
Regrading printing of the designs, I certainly do. So far when it comes to digital sculpting for figures/statues I have a couple resin 3D printers that can usually churn out things 4k silky smooth.
The prints are great for prototyping, and if I don't want to do the costly molding process of that print I can use a high end, (pretty pricey) flex resin and its good to go right then and there for paint up to popping it on the figure.

My passion is MOTU figures, and though I have a large classics collection right now having fun working on some designs for Origins/Masterverse!

Skeletor head coming up soon for print/masterverse/origins buck testing:
