Hmmm I considered getting these when they were announced. I decided not to, but by the looks of all the $150+ auctions on ebay it would have been a good investment.

Well I ordered what I wanted. Came to just on $90 AUD shipped for 3 figures so not a bargain but not too bad.
Chose Inernational Post over UPS...was 5x cheaper but I think I might be waiting a while for delivery.

Oh man. Lucky I ordered mine last night. Bet it get's scalped heavily.Originally Posted by Robzy
There was a 10 figure maximum on orders of him.
That's a cool bio for him. Turns out he's He-Man's uncle.
Skeletor® Bio
Real Name: Keldor™
Mortally wounded in battle with his half-brother Captain Randor™, Keldor™ turned to his dark-arts master Hordak™ to save his life. Merging Keldor™ with the extra-dimensional being Demo-Man™ from Despondos™, Keldor™ was forever changed into Skeletor®, Overlord of Evil™! He gathered together the greatest outcasts and evil warriors of Eternia® in his quest to gain entry into Castle Grayskull™ and obtain what he believes is the universe’s ultimate power source.

Yes, that's been implied since The Search For Keldor minicomic in 1987, but I think this is the first time it's been explicitly made canonical. What is new (and weird) is the "Demo-Man" aspect of the bio. (Presumably that's meant to be pronounced Deemo-Man (like Demon) since Demo-Man sounds like the Evil Master of Giving Demonstrations.)
I love that they're doing the MOTU Classics line, but I wish they hadn't cancelled the awesome Staction line of the far more interesting (and somewhat more obscure) characters in order to do it. I probably won't be buying the Classics toys until they start producing figures for some of the more unusual post 1981 toy characters and Princess of Power toys. It's the same reason I haven't bought any of the Transformers Classics yet except Overkill - I don't feel I need any more toys of overexposed characters.
To sum up, it's good that they're doing things like this:
But I wish it hadn't meant they stopped doing things like this:

That's a lot of ™s in that bio!Mortally wounded in battle with his half-brother Captain Randor™, Keldor™ turned to his dark-arts master Hordak™ to save his life.

Skyshadow, I remember seeing a lot of obscure MOTU characters get what looked like new toys but I thought they were statues. Were they action figures?
I'd like a more modern She-Ra toy to go with my 2000-Animated He-Man figure but I hear she was an exclusive or something so I've never really looked too hard.
(I was really just a MOTU fan because of the mini-comics my cousin who did collect MOTU toys gave me because he didn't want them.)
