Hahaha!
It fits EXACTLY like it was made for the torso...Batman is a straight MOTUC reuse besides new head, gloves, cape, crotch and boots...

Gonna have to get me some of those figures.
I really like playing with small men who have tight holes and small pegs and new crotches and... and... that's all I got.

Is that the original release? How many cracks does it have? (given you have it already that is)
Would anyone be interested in MotU heads shrunk to 1:18 scale? I've got a few coming in to experiment with, but I'm trying to gauge the interest
Abso-freakin-lutely! I have tons of Joe/SW/Marvel fodder, tons of body parts from SDS/AF, and some nice MOTU Classics head sculpts would be awesome! I've been planning a whole line of 4" MOTU figures, but I'm not happy with a lot of the noggin options I've got.
I will be first in line if you have success with this...

Like the name Stonedar. Would need to put veins in his eyes and apply a lot of gloss to them! Than he would look like his name.
Okay, don't make fun, but I LOVE the Rock Lord guys!...maybe just cause we (my bro and i) had them when we young...never in a million years did I expect to see them made...so cool!...hope I'll be able to score them...will they be in the store?
Oh yes we will. Those are hideous, and your opinion, no matter how nostalgically based it is, is clearly wrong. Those things look like large kidney stones.
Fun will be made in your general direction.

Thank you for the news, DH.
I am on the fence about these two, but it's better to see these guys over a continuation of crap like Spector and Cy-Chop.

Yeah, I slept on it.
Gonna get a set of the Rock Men after I get Clamp Champ in July.
Won't have much to buy until Mantenna in the fall.
I am hopeful for the line reveals at SDCC, and have my fingers crossed for a 70% or above from my posted list.

Are they sub exclusive figs or will they be in the store?...I don't know how that stuff works...is it an extras thing?...where extras will be in the store?
I can't believe you've never had the pleasure of dealing with digital river, Eddie. Prepare to bend over for Matty, hahahahahahahahahahaha!
I didn't realize they were SDCC...I missed that bit of info 
... That just makes it even worse...hopefully the set is as popular as the Molar set...

Yeah, SDCC is double bad (for people who want these). Not only are they a pain to get, more expensive than the normal ass-raping prices, and then there is the fact that there will be a dozen other interesting SDCC items from other lines.
I'll never forget a couple of years ago when SDCC offered up the Starscream Skystriker, the carded MU sentinel, the lost wave of Indiana Jones, the SW Death Star "Revenge" cardbacks set, and the two versions of Zarana all in the same weekend. For me, that was a four-figure gouge event.
I just hate the SDCC anxiety. The constant twinges of panic and regret.
- Am I going to find X?
- Am I going to overpay?
- Am I going to miss out waiting for a "good" deal?
- Am I going to regret my purchase?
- Do I need this?
- Am I going to have a hole in my collection that I'll regret if I skip it?
- Will I have to stay up all night one day next week waiting for the manufacturer's joke of a website to put the two extras on sale?
- Will my wife find out I'm a plastic addicted nutjob?
- Why do I care about this? Maybe I should stop collecting altogether.
- You know, that other line looks cool. I don't have any of those. Maybe I should start collecting those instead, starting with this here exclusive item...
- Where am I going to store this? I don't have any more display space. Why would I buy it just to bury it in a box?
- F@#$ it. There! It's a buy-it-now a full $3 lower than the going rate of $175! Buy! Buy! Buy!
And then you do that dance for 6-8 different toy lines. It's stressful, so much so that last year, I bought only two SDCC items. It just wasn't worth the expense or the stress. I actually hope that there is nothing I want this year so I can ignore the whole circus. Fortunately, Mattel is making it easy for me to pass on the kidney stone twins.

I totally agree. Spread to thin with not enough room. Took quite a bit for me to whittle down just what really mattered to me and even then I have more than I ever thought I would.
Do you have pics of your collection anywhere Eddie? What does the wife let you get away with displaying? And on that, does she collect anything?

That list was fantastic nacho!...half way through I started chuckling...heh heh heh...it's all so unfortunately true...
I don't have any pics, but I do have it all up...she lets me disay whatever I want since I have a decently clean display room...it's my toy room/game room...
The best pic I have of my MOTUC collection is that one of "but which one is the REAL He-Man?!"...since I'll be adding a couple more soon, I'll have to take a new picture or two...

Even if you're there, it's stressful as fuck. Last year, was a half day of stressing out over the fucking exclusives. A lot of folks charge out the ass to help pay for their trip, but I went and I'd almost pay some fat scalping fucker the money for his silly efforts just because it ruins half a damn day to simply get your own.
Luckily, I had Blood and NSA standing in line with me (well, NSA and I got up around 6am to go meet Blood who'd been up since 3am
) so it wasn't as bad. We got to make fun of some Bronies standing in line behind us. Thursday morning sucks ass, personally. You're guaranteed to get the damned exclusives so long as you're in line, and fortunately if you're there for the whole trip then it's not so bad, but if you only get a day or two, the earlier days suck if you have to spend half of it in line.Last year they seemed to make enough of the Hasbro exclusives, for once, and I think they finally sold out by Saturday?
Don't get me wrong, I had a blast, and I'm going again this year. But even if you're there, it's a pain in the ass to get the fucking things. I'm just glad I only collect Joes and select Marvel and TFs, and only have to go to the Hasbro booth to get those. I bet Mattel is awful, I didn't even bother with that line.
A grown man that collects My Little Pony... apparently there are a lot of them. I hear they're cut from the same cloth as the hot wheels people.
My daughter is four, and she loves MLP. I always fear I'll be mistaken for one of these trolls when I take her to the pink isle.

I thought the SDCC ShockHISS is one of the best toy sets ever produced. Every last bit of it reeks of awesome.
btw I got both She Ras today, and a bunch of parts yesterday.

Yeah, ShockHISS and the ML X-Force 3-pack were the only SDCC items I bought last year at the time. I think later on I finally picked up a red Jinx, but that was much after the fact. I'm over the stress of SDCC.
But they have a way of making the most desirable items the most exclusive while filling shelves with crap. "Here's countless pegs full of Gladiator at your local store, but Archangel is going to be an exclusive! You can't complete your X-Men team, but if you want to have an army of Shi-ar guards, we've got you covered..." WTF.

Got Webstor today...totally dig him...I think it woulda been cool if the string on his hook was white...kinda spider webby ya know?
Oh!...I also got the 200x Man-at-arms arm cannon today (thanks SR)...it's so cool...
Question though...is it necessary to remove part of his armor to get it on, or do I need to be more forceful with it?

Guess I'll have to be more stern with it 
"Listen here mister!...you are going on that arm whether you like it or not!...don't you talk back to me!"
