    I have two skeletors - one has the two 'eyebrow' type lines while the other does not. Skeletor with 'eyebrows' is dated Matel Inc 1981 Taiwan while no eyebrow skeletor is just marked Matel Inc 1981 with no country.

    Any way to tell these what these variations are? Does anyone care about variations in MOTU Collecting?

    I'm selling a MISB Evil-Lyn here and I have a bunch of others that I'm going to sell - I'll see what I have and if any are core cartoon characters. Here's a checklist of what's available - have a look to decide who you want to collect. If you want a blue Mer-Man and Stratos with blue wings, see if these will ship to Australia. And next year, set an alarm for just before the sales start on Matty.com to get Ram Man (January 16th) and Jitsu (February 16th).

    If you buy Orko, he's packaged with Prince Adam as an Accessory.

    I can Also recommend getting Draego-Man from the 30th Anniversary line, Sure he didn't show up in the cartoon but he is, by far the coolest figure in the line.

    He's not the coolest figure in the line. That slot is reserved for Trap Jaw and BA Skeletor. Dreago is a damn fine figure though. Easily the best of the 30th anniversary sub-line.

    Dre, parramatta fair. The guys on the stage sell em. And yes it will cost about as much as DCUC figures. Though some are less. BBTS Also at times sell the older releases cheaper now. Unless it's the limited released ones. When you say "main characters" it still ends up being a lot of figures really...

    This may have been asked but anyway. I've just redone my MOTU collection with new shelving, the majority is original but I do have He Man, Skeletor and Orko from MOTU 2002. I have always used blu-tac to help Skeletor stand but the new laminate is struggling to stick, I have considered super gluing him down. This has to be one of the worst designed toy lines when it comes to getting the figures to stand. Does anyone know any tricks or poses that will help him stand?
