    Apparently not all of these figures are Knock Offs. For example Argentina's Fuerza T which is composed of characters with mismatched parts from the MOTU line are not KOs at all.

    Mattel seems to have been just as shortsighted as Hasbro on the future of the line and decided to sell off the original MOTU molds once their production runs were over. In the case of Fuerza T, an Argentinian toy company bought the molds and created it's own unique and perfectly legit line of action figures using MOTU molds.

    Your right about Fuerza T i love those mix and match parts and colour combos they did,from what i remember mattel had to buy all the original motu toys off ebay to make new molds for the reissue line a while back.

    Great news for us MOTUC fans, Vikor's ankles have been changed to remove the unsightly holes, and fix the floppy problems!

    Hopefully that means all future releases will be better too! Full first look on Action Figure Pics

    Looking ahead, I wonder if they can do this to the other joints as well, cause that would surely be awesome!

    I am not sure if this has been done for aesthetic value only or to tackle the loose ankle joint problem. With the original 'system' there was no need for the external peg hole to begin with as the inner 'peg' is fairly deep within the hole.

    we shall see as I plan to get Vikor too.

    Did anyone get Buzz-Off last night?

    Yes... stupid Matty has charged me for (and shipped) 3 of the damn things!! I only ordered 1

    I can't believe it - I've emailed them and said I only ordered 1, but they said it's too late to cancel the other 2 cos they've already been shipped. Seriously, Digital River/Matty are useless. Absolutely useless!

    So now I have 2 extra Buzz Offs I've been charged for and don't want! I'm happy to sell them if anyone wants them. What a joke - Why couldn't they make this mistake when I wanted Trap Jaw?! Unbelievable.

    They can't do that. If your initial check-out email says that you only ordered one, then you should be refunded for the other two.
