4 inch MOTU?

Rattrap Primal · 12-17-2011, 11:16 AM

should Mattel do a proper MOTU line that rivals Marvel Universe/ GI Joe?

Yes, I think that they should.

He is suggesting a 4" line which is .25" larger than the line suggested in that thread.

Ummmm, no. Same thing. And you know it. 1/4" is not really a difference in this scale.

I don't really know Rattrap Primal well enough to know wether or not he considers 3.75" figures and 4" figures to be the same size, maybe you could PM him?

I hate to say it, Ludo, and I know Classified is just being himself, but I'd be worried if I heard Mattel was releasing a 3.75" MOTU line. It would end up Green Lantern size. I'd feel a little better about hearing about a 4" line.

And yes, Rattrap, they should definitely do a proper one.

Snowflakian · 12-17-2011, 08:06 PM

I'll say the same I did there. Yes I want one.

Thankfully during the he-man 2k3 run they did make one for Mcdonalds. Barring the lack of articulation(only rotate arms, legs, and head) and so so weapons it was pretty sweet and detailed well.

If they could pull that off again, but add more diversity and articulation with detailed weapons I'd be ecstatic.

3.75" or 4", if they released a line like the one I've described in various threads on this forum then I would be the happiest boy on Earth.

webz · 12-19-2011, 12:42 PM

I'd be far more likely to buy two packs of 3.75 or 4 inch characters for $30 than the $30 I've spent on just one of the Classics. Imagine... He-Man & Skeletor. Ramman & Clawful. Man-at-Arms & Trapjaw. Stratos & Merman. Teela & Evil Lyn. Mek-a-nek & Triclops. Zodak & Beastman.
Toss in a few 6 inch vehicles and mounts (Battlecat, Panthor, Windrider, etc) and a Grayskull display case/storage case.

All this talk of 4" He Man figures has me anxious for them to be released.

webz · 12-19-2011, 01:24 PM

I'd buy in a heartbeat, too. The other thing I'd LOVE Mattel to make would be a He-Man line aimed at the younger crowd, like the DC Super Friends in the Imaginext line.

My kids want to steal my Classics figures, and I'd rather get them their own... but not at the $30 price point. LOL A kids line would be great... keep the fandom not only growing. Afterall, once all the 30-somethings who grew up in the 80's have their fill, it'll be time to move on to the next generation of basement dwellers...

Shawn Woodbeck · 12-19-2011, 01:33 PM

I'd be all over this too. I loved the original toys and cartoons as a kid. I would need a friggin DROOL cup while waiting for the next wave if these came out.

The 4H made prototypes of little MOTU figures that look like those little Super Hero figures that come in two packs (not sure what they're called) to pitch to Mattel. I'd be all over those if they were made.

..and I have a cheap Clawful for sale... a perfect price for your kids to beat up on too

Snowflakian · 12-19-2011, 10:32 PM

I'd kill for a 4'' Hordak and She-ra pack.

Super Hero Squad! Msg me a price and a pic... I'm interested.

So... when are they comming out?

Nightwing · 12-20-2011, 09:42 PM

When Mattel can do a decent 4 inch DC Universe line then they can do a 4 inch MOTU line.

I doubt both will ever happen though.
