hmm would that be a trident that's missing?
It's the long axe. It's amazing how much use they got out of the vintage weapons rack moulds or slight remoulds thereof - Whiplash, Webstor, King Randor, Scare Glow, Stinkor, Buzz Off, Clawful, Man-E-Weapons, Moss Man, the Weapons Pak, possibly mailaway He-Man and possibly more.Quote:

Thanks. :) He-Man and Skeletor are definitely awesome, well worth getting.
I've actually had Hordak for a while, he's pretty good too. I never had him as a kid which is probably why I like the others a bit more. I took this pic a while back:

My 4th figure arrived on Friday - She-Ra! My thumbs are still sore from swapping her head. :p
Oh man! :eek:Quote:

Get Hordak Hursty! He also comes with a little imp figure that snaps onto his wrist. I'ts also a better version that the Hurricane Hordak which has that flaking metal paint. Funny how I'm not actively collecting the MOTU Classics version coz Im more interested in the 200x versions. Having a look at my display shelf all of my "classics" purchases are from POP Classics -
Bubble power She- ra and Swift Wind, Bow, Hordak, Shadow Weaver and I have Catra in my POL in BBTS, :p. At least I guess Im consistent heheheh.
I aim to grab Leech and Grizzlor when I find one at the Parra fair where I got this Hordak and SW. :D
Got my First MOTUC figure for my birthday on Friday thanks to Krayt Thunder Punch Heman,
he was a favorite of mine growing up as a kid :)
now i will need to get dragon blast skeletor :D

Griffin pet for 200x Beast Man
http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/b...s/DSC02073.jpg
I also have 200x Beastman riding the Griffin :)
It's more suitable than the MOTUC one IMO. The nice detailing of the Griffin works well with the "hyper detailed" (Scott's expression) of 200x.
Well the Classics line looks more Filmation if anything so this detailed Griffin really suits more the 200x versions. :D Plus I dont collect the classics line figures with the exception of the Horde and Rebellion figures.
I officially need more shelf space for my MOTU figures.:p
Does the 200X stuff still sell?
I have the massive 18inch Trap-Jaw statue, sculpted by the 4 Horsemen, that I think I want to get rid of (he takes up a lot of real estate), but am unsure if there's any demand for him.
It's an absolutely beautiful statue, so it'd be a shame to find out it's worthless.
It is a great statue and I think you could get a bit of money for one. :)Quote:

*I'm still keeping my MOTU busts. But I think it's time for the big guy to go.
Sell or trade, really, as at least part of the money will simply be going on MOTU Classics figures anyway (I want a Teela, damnit).
Hah. Just scored a great deal on a Teela.
The auction had literally only been up for a few minutes.
He-Man, Man-At-Arms, and Teela, all MISB, for $85US.
Anyone want a He-Man?
Sorceress finally arrives! Also a nice addition to the Horde - Catra (jealous B!#@%, I mean beauty :p) Also got 1st generation Screech so that my Zoar has someone to dogfight with.:D All from BBTS POL
http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/b...s/DSC02244.jpg
These arrived yesterday:

To be honest, I think I have lost my ability to care about this line. It doesn't help that their paint quality are pretty awful, all these figures are painted over black plastic and 'scratch easy'.
I haven't opened any of them but the paint looks to have that powdery make up look as if it would wipe away if I rub my finger on it. Mekaneck looks decent enough but the paint still has that 'wipe away' surface feel although the figure is rather plain looking in person and seems rather 'half assed'. Paint looks particularly bad on Skeletor due to the smooth surfaces and the Dragon could have been better done sculpt wise.
The Snake men are pretty good, fortunately the paint over black it's not as noticeable thanks to the rough scaly skin but I doubt durability.
:(
Why on earth are they doing that black plastic thing now?
:confused:
Don't dare to touch any of them on a warm day unless you want to finger paint :rolleyes:Quote:

There's something in this pic that I owe a thanks to Kup for; as it was on his recommendation quite a while ago that I investigate this series &, I really came to love it! ;):D

$20 to my door from Amazon, thanks Kup! :cool:
Your welcome! :)
Just make sure it's a non region coded dvd Hursty :D
Oh it is, American region coded but I'm pretty sure that I have at least one DVD Player around here that can play Internationally coded DVDs but if not? - I have a computer & a couple of tricks up my sleeve. ;):cool:Quote:

Haven't posted in this section before, probably as I'm scared of the slippery slope into collecting MOTU when I already expend much effort into TF, but this was just gold. I love 80's merchendising and this smacks of it, the MOTU pop-up board game! I think I remember one kid at my primary school having this, but I would welcome any info anyone might have on it.

@Ultra Mackness: Oh wow dude, that is a pretty remarkable find! - I can't say that I know anything about it but I know what you mean about 80s Merchandising & that is one sweet example of it! :eek:
@Deceptic: Oh man, you don't know how incredibly jealous I am that you've picked up a Hordak! - Loved the original toy as a kid & would really like to pick up a MOTUC version of him once I can find one at the right price & time. ;):D
Deceptic : dre Cat is selling a MOTUC He man - see his sale thread :). I really like the cartoon accurate headress on She ra unfortunately I have the bubble power version - but , that can easily be fixed , I just need to find an "extra" Shera I can cannibalize >:D heheheh
@Hursty: I recommend Hordak Hursty.... not so Hurricane Hordak - I hear he's flaky ;):p. I got mine at the Parra Fair a few fairs back ...
Excellent, yeah I'm in complete agreeance Liege as I'm definitely after the 'normal' version of Hordak because in my eyes (both normally & rose-tinted ;):D) he's the superior version. :cool:Quote:

@Liege - dre, i got he man skeletor and battle cat just waiting in the mail, then il look fo rthe rest like
This is on my target list for now... lol
Catra
Evilyn
Bow
Orko
Shadow Weaver
Sorceress
Beastman
Leech
Man At Arms...
I think youll find some at the upcoming Parramatta fair dre, well, except for Shadow weaver - she is kinda pricy and limited release I believe. That was why I bit the bullet when i saw her last last fair. Orko can be quite pricy too, depends on who is selling - the guy on the right side (where you had your table last time) sells pretty much ebay price, but the guys on the stage has it a bit less.Quote:

Awesome! I don't have 200x Mossman. Does he smell of eucalyptus like the MOTUC version?Quote:

http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/b...s/DSC02431.jpg
Nice pickups Liege! :cool:
I acquired this bloke at the Parra Fair last weekend (Was hoping one would be there too :D), making him my 3rd MOTUC figure overall & the 2nd last one that I actually want (The last is Snakeface but I might get others down the line) ;):):
Another one for King Hsss' army
Sssqueeze

All I need now is wait for Snakeface - think Ill get the upcoming version rather than the 200x one
