Well, West San Jose isn't far from me, so if anybody here wants anything DEFINITE let me know, and I'll contact the guy. But I want to do it all at once, while he's still got them. I'm off work this week until I get contacted by some recruiters for contract work, so I may as well do something like that to kill the time during the day.

You guys seem pretty serious with your collections of MOTUC, so I'd be happy to help out, and I know how ass-rapey prices on these fucking things can be.

Well, depending on how much of a pain in the ass the guy is, I'll maybe ask a few bucks for my time, but otherwise it'll be cost plus shipping. Ask Eddie, I usually just transfer the costs over and he throws in a few bucks for my efforts.

Knowing my experiences with Craigslist, though, it may not pan out. But I'll gladly contact the guy once you guys can get me a list of characters you'd want, and I'll go from there.

Mmm...that CL guy has a couple that I kinda want...but I don't want them bad enough to actually spend the money...I'm pretty happy with I have now...

Thanks for looking out for us Rex...I really hope someone ends up wanting some so that you have to hold them in your hands and see how cool they are :D

Also, to anyone that does want ole Rexy to pick some up for him...he's never asked for more than C+S...I just "tip" him for his efforts...I usually throw him like a $100 bill (you're welcome Matt ;))

It's funny...it was 4-12-11 that I was drooling over Man-E-Faces, and just this past Friday I finally got him...the same problems I had back then are the same problems I have now staying out of other lines...been watching the 200x toon and lack of joe product I'M interested in...

I have all of the very main cast besides Teela and Sorceress...at their cost, I will NEVER own them...I'm not at all willing to spend that much...heck, i had to talk myself into the $68/$85 for TriKlops and Beastman...f*@# the $200+ for the chicks...


And yeah, I was warned...my count is 20 :D

haha, wtf is it?? be able? man i dont know.. i just type. i got no time to think how things are spelt, i just spell how they sound, haha..
Click to expand...

Haha. I can tell... It's "spelled", too. Spelt is a form of wheat or some shit. I guess if you time-travelled to old England, "spelt" would be right.

Anyways, yes, "be able". I've seen "a lot" spelled as "alot" but never "beable".

It's just a running joke of me and Fogger fucking with Eddie. Sounds like you two got the same (Not-so-) Great (-spellers-) Lakes education. We're just being dicks about it.

IF there doing horde troopers I will get a couple of them. I think they would make a great base figure for Space Marine customs.

@ SR,

I don't believe that will happen.

The idiots at Mattel (and those who support them) are defending 2013's terrible sales numbers by stating the requests of the many should be overshadowed by the requests of the few.

I believe that for every fan of Karatti, Fang Man and Netossa, there are 1000 fans of Saurod, Battle Ram and Horde Trooper.

Whether or not the fools at Mattel cancel the line altogether because of bad sales this year remains the question.

2014 can be a banner and conclusive year for the line IF Mattel's people can get their shit together.

My ideas for the conclusive (and great selling) 2014 line:

Tung Lashor - January

Ice Armor He-Man - February

Two Bad (Oversized Figure) - March

Rio Blast - April
Scorpia - April

Modulok - May

Extendar - June

Dragstor - July
Battle Ram Vehicle - July

Multibot - August

Ninjor - September

Saurod, Gwildor and Blade, 3 pack - October

Hydron - November
Horde Trooper, 2 pack - November

Blast Attak - December
Point Dredd / Talon Fighter with Audio CD of original recording - December

In my dream:
Bravestarr, NYCC Convention Figure (yes, I know he is not a MOTU figure but assuming Mattel still owns the rights to the brand, why not? Hell, they should have crafted him instead of Laser Lot and that purple weirdo with the Ace of Spades chestpiece).

Thundarr, Ariel and Ookla three pack, SDCC Set (yes, I know. Hanna Barbara is not Filmation, but I can dream).

Good list, but Laser He-Man can GTFO. They can't make any movie figures apart from the three vintage ones because of Warner bros rights issues.

I want Snake Armour He-Man :)

And I agree about Mattel. They have some serious blame issues going on in that company. No matter how badly they fuck up, they can never, ever accept responsibility.
They always blame an outside source.
If they still can't accept that the 200X line tanked because of their fucking retarded case packouts, there's no chance in hell that disingenuous little creep Toy Guru will ever do the same. Why the fuck would anyone want shit like Photog, Spector or the Star Sisters? That's fucking trolling no matter which way you look at it. Just because a character is obscure does not mean it can't be cool. Take Draego man, the great black wizard, Prahvus and Red Beast for example. Those are/ would all make killer figs. Yet they churn out shit like those I've mentioned. Fucking spastics make me shake my head so much.

Yeah, good point on Laser He-Man. I figured it wouldn't be a MOTU year without He-Man represented in some form or another. Perhaps they could substitute a POP girl figure in then, to please the .02% of people interested in the POP line.

Snake Armor He-Man sounds good also.

Sucks about the rights issues on Skeletor Soldier. Didn't know that.

Agreed on Draego Man and the others.

Toy Guru, and others like him, are ultimately the ones who ruin the line for everyone. They push crap onto the fans, and when the fans don't buy it, then Toy Guru and his lackeys threaten to cancel the line or cancel it altogether. There is no winning with losers like them on Mattel's staff, as creeps like them are similar in mentality (and also responsible) for the Rise of Cobra disaster.

I sometimes wonder if Scott Nietlich and Lorenzo Di Bonaventura are roommates in the same apartment, since their destructive and sophomoric beliefs are the same on every front. And when you question their behavior, both turn openly hostile.

Also forgot to mention Ice-Armor He-Man, the best He-Man from the 200X line.

Substitute him for Laser Power He-Man, and substitute some random POP girl in for Skeletor Soldier.

You've got a year that will sell with the fans once you get those in.

Alas, Mattel seems to be loaded with fools and only bad things will subsequently happen.

A.) Mattel makes no money on the product
B.) Line gets cancelled
C.) Fans do not get what they have been requesting for years now

i dont get how there are sale issues?? shit sellls out fast.. at 10 a pop to evry customer that gets in fast enough. that means the supply is gone , sold, and the money they were expecting made the mark. now, there will be no demand for a 2nd issue, so you cant expect them to sell and meet a mark. when you have the ability to purchase 10 at a time, the ebay motuc market is flooded. the subs probably barely squeeze by cus no one follows through. i might do the sub this coming year, though. depends if i know there will be no reason at all to have to be home to order. if i still have to be home to order, then i'm not doing no fucking sub, lol. that's asinine.. lets pay more when i could just buy em all the same time and pay less. either way i'd be missing work, so put that in the calculations. it would be cheaper to just not do the sub and just miss work.

The only fig I'd pick up from your list Brave is Two-Bad...but that's because I'm just not as much of a completist as some of you guys are...

One figure I would like that will NEVER be made is 200x Roboto...he's so much cooler than the original...

I'd like to see a few on that list. Looks like some serious thought went into it, a couple unknowns but after looking them up I can see how/why you chose what you did.

Tung Lashor tops my list and though he was unknown to me till recently Modulok might be an interesting piece as my Horde looks nothing like a horde. Too few figures! One reason I'd like those Horde Troopers! That and they would look great en-mass and I became more inspired after seeing issue 3's cover of the upcoming comic

Paint finally dry on Man-E-Faces' arm enough for me to put him back together...

Also put chrome tape on Mekanecks eyes...considering applying translucent green over the chrome for a 200x look...

Thanks...there was a lot of potential for paint rub so I took my time to make sure it'd be as tough as possible...used enamel and clear coated it... I also trimmed just a hair from around the skin tone area so the arm wouldn't rub...

I'm still amazed that I had a perfectly matching paint out of the bottle on hand...I HATE mixing!...I only need a dab and I end up with a quart by the time I'm done matching...ugh!
