He-Man ambushed by Skeletor

http://kupscigar.com/misc/MOTU2.JPG
I've never really followed MOTU post 1980's... so, Keldor is actually Skeletor after an accident playing with some acid huh? I don't recall this being explained in the HB cartoons. Keldor is kinda like Drift then :p :D
BTW, awesome collection Kup!
Keldor is actually from the 80s. He was part of a story in post filmation comics depicting the origins of Skeletor. The 2003 cartoon expanded upon the same basic concept.Quote:

Keldor is nothing like Drift. Keldor is the origin of Skeletor so they are one and the same not some randomly made up and forced upon 'Poochie the dog' character ;) :p
Thanks! :)Quote:
BTW, awesome collection Kup!
You wont have to worry much about the snake men for the 200x series figures kup, there's only Kobra Khan and "the General" = Rattlor (as he was called in the 80's), Tongue Lashor, Squeeze and all the rest of the snake men that "had" a figure in the original series only have Statues in the 200x series:( - sadly..... wouldv'e been awesome if they had official moving figures.
King Randor there is a statue is he? If you still want to get the snakemen statues - they had them before at the Parramatta Phantom zone ( went on sale a few months ago) but am not sure if they still do.
Yeah, the Stactions is what makes them difficult as it drives the shipping up due to weight and have high risk of damage if not in their original packaging.Quote:

Evil-Lyn has a figure, the sorceress is only issued as a statue in the 200x series so good luck with her.Quote:

Hordak is too powerful so King Grayskull uses the Power sword of He to vanish Hordak into the dark realm of Despondos
http://kupscigar.com/MOTU/kg/kg5g.JPG
As his spirit is ripped from his body, Hordak manages to inflict a mortal wound on his enemy but with his last breath Grayskull imbues his great spirit into the sword, ensuring that his descendants will have the Power to keep Eternia free of evil.

Very sweet Kup. Awesome photos and story telling... I hate you for having all those awesome toys. :p
Count Marzo is freaking awesome! He is among my favorites of the MOTUC characters so far.
http://kupscigar.com/MOTU/Marzo.JPG
His sculpt is much more detailed than the average MOTUC figure too and as a big fan of MOTU 200X I appreciate that he is detailed enough to look the part despite the line's style bulk and height. He even has wrinkly old man hands from the Talisman!
Awesome, awesome stuff there Kup - I didn't realise how many characters got the 200X treatment but your photos and story telling are quite good dude, I like the subtlety of swapping out different swords for when they're being imbued and such - well done! :cool:
Oh and by the way, I'm 14 eps into He-Man (2002) and I've gotta say dude I'm lovin' it a billion times more than the original series and I'm trying to fight back the urge to collect the 200X figures. :p:D
(Transformers costs enough as it is! :D)
My 200X Snake Men collection finally complete!
http://kupscigar.com/MOTU/snakemen1.JPG
Congrats Kup! - Man those buggers look cool! :D:cool:
Nice collection dude! And I noticed Fisto too! :)
Thank you! :)Quote:

He should be much easier to find than Kobra Khan.
I am also after Evil-Lyn but the staction would have to suffice for now as the 200x figure is very expensive.

The Classics figures look awesome, as do the 200x figures - Especially the Snakemen! :D:cool:
Thanks! I was very lucky with the Snakemen as several of the stactions are from the November Parra fair and Sharky's help!Quote:

Thanks! I appreciate this coming from you who has a really awesome collection ;)Quote:

In my canon, this is what a 'younger' King Hisss looked like during the Grayskull era before he was defeated and vanished from Eternia by King Grayskull and He-Ro.
http://kupscigar.com/MOTU/collection2011/KingHsss2.JPG
http://kupscigar.com/MOTU/collection2011/KingHsss1.JPG
At first, I was a little disappointed by King Hsss when I opened him as I encountered several articulation flaws such as restricted thigh movement and shoulder obstruction caused by his infamous reversed shoulders. Thankfully I was able to correct the reversed shoulders and this allowed the figure to be much more playable and aesthetically pleasing which considerably improved my opinion of the figure. I now like him very much and looks very elegant in standing poses despite the restricted leg movement.
Congrats on Hsss Kup! :D
I also like the idea behind your cannon for him as it makes quite a bit of sense and looking at the face sculpt, he does come across as somewhat younger than what one might expect. ;):cool:
I opened Teela today and added her to my MOTUC collection:
http://kupscigar.com/MOTU/collection2011/update2.JPG
http://kupscigar.com/MOTU/collection2011/hostage.JPG
http://kupscigar.com/MOTU/collection2011/pov.JPG
Since Teela comes with an extra 'vintage toy' head which can be displayed with the Cobra armor or as an Amazon type warrior helmet; I decided to experiment with the extra bodies I had from that Chinese seller I bought faulty toys from.
G2 MOTU - with Evil-Lyn's body
http://kupscigar.com/MOTU/collection2011/G2chick.JPG
As you can see, it's pretty garish hence the 'G2' reference.
However I also decided to use more of the spare armor and weapons I had:
Amazon Chick
http://kupscigar.com/MOTU/collection2011/amazon.JPG
Not bad but she looks a little bland and looks like a completely made up fan character.
However with the right parts I was also able to make....
No break The Goddess
http://kupscigar.com/MOTU/collection2011/goddess.JPG
Not bad and I can count on this one not breaking apart despite the body being very loose with several defects (since it's from the dodgy seller) but thankfully the Cobra armor covers most of them but she cannot stand stably without the grayskull stand.
Here she is displayed in my collection:
http://kupscigar.com/MOTU/collection2011/update1.JPG
I like her better than the green Goddess release and in my canon, she represents Grayskull's wife, the Sorceress during that era. She wields the sword of protection since it is her who forged it and imbued a portion of her's and Grayskull's power within by using a piece of the orb.
I also added Adora to my collection:
http://kupscigar.com/MOTU/collection2011/update3.JPG
http://kupscigar.com/MOTU/collection2011/update4.JPG
The Great Rebellion now has 2 people in it :p
She-Ra doesn't count as her and Adora are the same
I think she works rather well as the Goddess dude and fits in quite well with Grayskull and crew, I also love the 'Hostage Situation' display you've got going on with the other MOTUC figure's main casts - Great shots dude! ;):D
Thanks Hursti!Quote:

I wonder if they'll make a Madame razz and those 2 dwarf plant people she usually has tagging along? It'll be nice if they did though, along with broom.:D:D:D then The great Rebellion will have more than 2 people. Id also like to see someday they make more of the Horde trooper... Im pretty sure that that figure will be scalped severely for army building:p
Well, it's now two people and a flying horse ;)Quote:
