    Best overall MOTU line

    What's everyone's opinion on the best MOTU line out of all the ones we are getting and have gotten? There's been a few now with various degrees of figures, character, vehicles, articulation, etc... Some lines are still ongoing so I know it's tough to say how far Origins or Masterverse will go, but if you only had one line which would it be?
    Right or wrong, buying a sub tells Mattel you want more MOTUC figures. Not buying does tells them you don't. Don't let MOTUC end early because you might not like their marketing strategy! Plus polls show you won't regret subbing!

    One of the true fan minority - happy MOTU fans!

    Mega, and it's not close. It's the line I've been waiting for my whole life, and the only line where Grayskull and Snake Mountain are in proper scale. I love that everything is customizable. It's also the line that my kids are most interested in, because they like construction sets more than they like MOTU.

    This is a really hard question to answer. My adult self would want the Classics versions over all the others. The kid in me would have a hard time choosing between the original line and the new Origins line if you were to show me all the figures at once and what they could do. The Origins line would probably win out due to play and "pose-ability". That and easily being able to switch parts out.

    Heck, the argument for mega-contrux is a good one too. But I just don't feel like you'd enjoy them as much if you didn't have the originals they each represent.

    Just in terms of visual appeal and overall execution:

    1) Classics
    2) Vintage
    3) Origins
    4) 200x
    5) New Adventures
    6) Masterverse


    Vintage will probably always be my favorite, but nostalgia aside I think Classics is the best. Certainly the best sculpt and paint (although later figures skimp on paint and there were plenty of engineering and QC problems)

    A plenty of choices, but my vote certainly goes to the Vintage line.

    Classics, without a doubt.

    MOTUC came hot on the heels of 200X and exposed the problems with the entire MYP line (for me, anyway.)

    Origins is a wonderful line too... very nostalgia driven and actually available at retail.

    Masterverse is a fun experiment... once the awkward issues get addressed in the line, it will be much better. As it is, it feels like MOTU Marvel Legends.

    You can never count vintage out either... there is something that just feels 'right' when holding an original MOTU figure in your hand.


    But, if you combine nostalgia, selection, paint, sculpt, articulation, and appeal... Classics wins the day. (Plus, MOTUC reminded everyone how cool the New Adventures characters actually are!! )

    Classics, Origins, then Vintage. The rest are good, but don't mean as much or hold as much value to me.
