I have been looking at pics of MOTU Classics and although the line does have much more articulation, they are still stylized in a similar way as the original toys making several figures seem somewhat cartoony, specially Skeletor.Quote:

An evil voice within is nagging me to get more MOTU toys! Maybe it was a bad idea to buy 'only' a couple :p
yeah it is a bad idea, kup. soon it will keep on nagging you, ooh buy me, buyme , buy me! I still yet to find Evil Lyn and Teela, I found them before but geez they're expensive as... between Tf and MOTU I went the Tfs first, but now that Ive completed G1 I may save up for it... well its now between MOTU and DCU:o. Price wise though DCU is winning, them figures are awesome.. well to me prolly coz Im a DC boy.:D
I started only with the same figs that you got - Skeletor and Panthor (Mecha Bite), He-man and Battle Cat (samurai armour), then went on to collect the villains gallery. I always start with the villains anyhow even in TFs - I still have to migrate them along with Trap Jaw ( my fave), Triklops and Beastman here. I didnt manage to get many of em, coz by the time I jumped in the bandwagon for this particular series it was already ending:(, now Im playing catch-up.

MOTU toys rock!! You have to buy them all!!! Do it now!!!! :DQuote:

Thats a great find. But how could it be 1983 with Thunderpunch He-Man and the Hord on it. They come much later 1985 I think.Quote:

it has 1983 mattel on the tag, maybe thats the date mattel got the license for the merchandise.
Whiplash arrived today - very exciting, since he was one of my first humanoid MOTU toys. (I know I had Zoar and Panthor before Whiplash, but he may have been my first action figure.)
It also has the Slime Pit and Horde Trooper on it, which makes it at least from 1986.Quote:
