my Roboto was crack free until I moved his arm just a little bit now I can clearly see one though its only 1/16th" long. So now he just stands in the back playing a prop, he simply won't get posed at all.

as for the Filmation sub here's the list so far. Until SDCC in July anyway where they reveal more!

Icer- July, Shokoti- August, Batros- September, Mystery Sword Dude- November and October and December are yet to be revealed

As for the Club Eternia Sub

Karatti-, May, Octavia- June, Clamp-Champ- July, Castaspella- August, Mantenna and unknown- October. September isn't getting a figure.

They just reopened the subs to make sure they sell more FFM. Another wasted spot that could have gone to a vehicle. Fucking spastics. Who in the entire world would want those pricks over the Battle Ram? And the rest of the year's figures look pretty poor (apart from Mantena) compared to the beginning of the year (apart from Netossa).

Star Sisters over a Land Shark? Or Roton? Or even Spydor? I don't care what that fucking simp TG says about the Wind Raider, there is no way in Hell these bottom-of-the-barrel three packs are more popular than any of those vehicles.

finish? no, there are quite a few more I'd like to get but its just one of those life things. Biggest being a break in where they stole some livelihood items. Unfortunately I've got to replace those and my collection might have to suffer for it

Ah, I thought the break-in was hobby/recreational equipment, not food-on-the-table equipment. That's a bigger issue.

It sucks you might have to bow out. Is MOTU the only thing you're chopping, or are your other collections in jeopardy too?

I often think about this stuff, if I had to cut back collecting, what would I drop first/last. What would I sell first or keep until I die, that kind of thing. I love my toys, comic, and original comic art. It would be like sophie's choice.

About a year ago I sold my joe collection, about 2500 figures and a crap ton of vehicles and I don't regret it. After all that I only kept 5 figures. My only other collecting habits are S.H. Monsterart Godzilla (about 6.5" high), MOTUC and Jeeping (not selling that) and a few other things. Just kicking around the idea for now.

Ok, you talked me into it. BBTS has SMAA on clearance for $25, which is way less than it would have cost me to get him from matty in the first place. I'll bite, as he will look better with the different body.

I kinda wish he had two brown feet (filmation)...I also prefer the more orange-y armor, but not much I can about that besides painting it...I'd just switch the armor, but then he'd have that damn lighter colored left foot...but the updated body parts look so much better that I feel it's worth it...

Scott Nietlich needs to get a blanket party for that line-up. Fang Man and Strobo can KMA if they were thinking that stuff would sell with the mainstream at 40+ each once shipping and taxes are figured in. The Foe Men, Karatti, and Octavia ringing in at around 150 dolllars plus shipping....

Man, F that guy and F Mattel for trying to foist this latest "subscription lite" scheme onto us.

They know their bad figure selection isn't selling, and are just trying to lure in anyone stupid enough to pay for their bad ideas.

My list still stands for 2014, and I suspect it (or anything close to 70% of it) will save this line from complete ruination. Otherwise, it's most likely all over.

Especially if Nietlich tries to repeat the similar bad taste in figure selection next year.

The final list:

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

Do it, Mattel.

You want the sales numbers, and we want the items.

It's simple business.

I'm not gonna lie, other than the Battle Ram and Point Dread, I don't have a clue who any of those are (ok, Ice Armor He-Man I can imagine....). To me they are just as obscure as the stuff they're cranking out now.

The parade of random nobodies just waters down the brand and does nothing for the mythos. It's kinder to let the line stop with dignity. The current path of the franchise is painful, like watching Emmitt Smith play for the Cardinals... I think they should have put Ram Man in last year's lineup and called it a day on the whole thing.

I agree, and last year could have been it (but there was no Castle Greyskull yet, even though that in itself is a disaster).

It's granted that many of my picks were from the last of the original line, but this list puts it to bed, once and for all, with a banner conclusion because there is no room for anyone to say the line was never finished.

Otherwise, the continued foisting of random figures (Spector, Karratti, Foe Men, etc) that most never heard of does nothing for either the company or the customers.

It has a little something for everyone (200X, Horde, Snake Men, Adventures, POP), and brings Battle Ram to reality.

So, ninjor...would you want to see him in fabric or done in plastic like they did with Prince Adam who we all know was originally in fabric?

Ninjor and Two-Bad were two of the very last figures I remember me and my brother getting, so I wouldn't mind seeing them make the cut...though, if they didn't, I wouldn't really care...

Two-Bad was just made even cooler to me recently when I saw his origin in the 200x toon...before that, all I ever knew of him was the original MOTU toy...

Ninjor? wasn't he one of the last figures released? He came out a few years after I was done I think. By then Joes had my interest. Had MOTU been like the figures of today who knows but that swivel arm battle grip had he-man hands down. Joes could pose for gods sake! He man.. well. not so much

The reason I played so long was because I had someone to play with...had I not had a bro to play with, i woulda quit sooner more than likely...

I didn't have much of a childhood so this is my second wind. I posted all that before but all I have left from then is my castle Grayskull, battle cat and my v2 Storm Shadow. Though I don't play with my fine art collectibles I do love occasionally repositioning them!

Funny...one of my only in tact original joes is v2 SS...I/we never even owned v1 as we got into Joe a few years after it started...so v2 was always my preferred version...my best buddy had v1 and very much coveted it...

What ever happened to our MOTU collection, I don't know...not a shred of it remains

Fortunately, my parents have a large basement, so they kept all my old stuff down there. My Joes, TFs, SW, and He-Man have survived fairly well. I wasn't destructive to my toys, but I played with them A LOT, so they have been well-loved.

My son is six, and he's only marginally interested in superheros and action figures. But my daughter is four, and she loves the stuff. My son wants to watch the disney channel while my daughter begs to watch star wars... So I suspect Kate will soon be the recipient of a large vintage MOTU collection. I'm sure there are plenty of parts missing and such, but nothing is badly torn up.

Hey Nacho, pop in a dvd of He-man and it works like a charm. My son (11) wasn't interested one bit in my He-man and after watching an episode of 200x he was hooked. After watching those he had to get a Mer-man and now wants to watch the classic He-man cartoons. He wasn't into comics either (damn video games and tv) but now he's getting some comics too. Its great to see him get into something other than wanting to play Halo and such

Princess Ariel is indeed cool.

It must be the age of Super Science that does the trick.

@ Dark Horse, which version of Zodac did you get? I like the TRU 2-pack with Green Lantern version, personally.

Catra is one of my more favorite characters of the Horde, mostly because there seems to be so few "humans" I suppose or maybe its the hair!
