I just got my first 3 figures today. My buddy bought doubles of nearly the entire 08-09 run and is selling me 1 of each for a what they cost new, not jacked up evilbay prices. These things are amazing, I feel 5 years old again!

^ Nice! Post some pics of those bad boys. BTW, your avatar is awesome! Where is that pic of Scare Glow from?

DHeezy81 · 04-25-2012, 10:14 AM

I'm not sure where the pic is from, maybe some fan art? I just found it on google images and it looks bad ass so I snagged it lol.

I wasn't even going to bother with this line because I missed the first 2 years and didn't want to start from behind paying outrageous prices for them. Glad my buddy decided he wants a motorcycle and needs money!

Here's the start of what's going to be long and exciting process because I must own them ALL!

cmax75 · 04-25-2012, 11:11 AM

Not a bad way to start the collection. The first figs I got were Hordak and Zodak and I've been hooked ever since!!!

Anyway, here's some pics of Draego-Man (please disregard the mini robot-convention in the back)!!!

DHeezy81 · 04-25-2012, 11:31 AM

Draego looks awesome!

Does anyone know why they haven't done Ram Man, Mecha-nek, & Mantenna? Seems like Matty put out a few of the lessor known, more obscure characters before these 3.

cmax75 · 04-25-2012, 11:58 AM

Thanks! Hopefully we'll see Mekanek and Ram Man this year. As for Mantenna, I think it might be a figure mold issue (Mantenna had six legs, I think, if I remember the cartoon correctly). I think it's also why we probably won't see guys like Modulok or Two-Bad too.

Optimus Vader · 04-25-2012, 12:11 PM

They (Matty/Mattel) said Ram Man will most likely take one of the beast spots (BC, Panthor, Shadow Beast, etc,..) because they'd want to incorporate some sort of vintage-like gimmick. In other words, they aren't sure which way to go with him as a figure. There's no timetable for him, but I'm pretty sure whenever he goes up for sale the internet will crash.

DHeezy81 · 04-25-2012, 01:52 PM

I forgot Rattlor too! Has there been mention of a Castle Greyskull & Snake Mountain, or other vehicles? I see they did the wind raider. Bashasaurus would be niiiiiiiiice.

Optimus Vader · 04-25-2012, 07:26 PM

I got my Matty order today and wanted to share. The funny thing is, I have the Voltron sub with the cheapo shipping (Logistics). Subs ship about a week before the monthly sale days, and yet I only got that Voltron package one day before my UPS order arrived (today) that was placed on the 4/16 sale.

I'm shocked at how large the Orko package is. And it's hilarious how they have Adam packaged in there. If anyone wants this Keldor for $30 shipped (or trade), pm me,.. I accidentally bought this one and I already have him. I haven't even broken the seal on the mailer.

..and I got that old school Blob at my LCS last week for $4 MOC.. I couldn't resist.

ludovicotek · 04-25-2012, 07:30 PM

^ Nice haul OV. Still waiting on my shipment to arrive :\

Tiberius · 04-25-2012, 10:25 PM

Sell me Tri Klops!!

TK has been my MOTUC white whale for a while now. I didn't find out about this line until after he was already out, and getting back-figures used to be a lot harder than it is now. About a year ago someone pointed out (ludo I think) a good sale for him on Amazon where he was something like $18 shipped, so I got one, but it had crap all over the side of him. The seller was cool and refunded me, plus gave me a $3 credit to his store, but he was out of the TK's by the time I got my crappy one and reported the problem. Then the prices for this guy shot up. He'll pop up on Matty again some time. Don't over pay.

cmax75 · 04-26-2012, 07:08 AM

I agree; Tri-Klops is a very cool figure. I got mine when they had the Black Friday/Cyber Monday holiday sale where I got Man-At-arms, Trap Jaw, and Orko (among others). I was kinda hoping the little daggers on his back would have been removable, but that's a very minor nitpick. Love the Doomseeker and the ring, homages to both the original and the 200X release.

BTW, I'm not sure if you've already done so, but you may want to consider bookmarking the Mattycollector News Page:

MattyCollector News Page

They tend to annouce upcoming sales and reissues this way. Could go a long way in helping you get ready to purchase certain figures.

ludovicotek · 04-26-2012, 07:41 AM

Not sure how many of you guys frequent TheFwoosh (I know thechris does) but they have some excellent first looks and reviews of MOTUC figures with stunning photography. Well, they also just put out their own first MOTUC mini-comic and it's definitely worth checking out.

I hope it's ok to post the links here. It's definitely of interest to those of us who enjoy this line.

ludovicotek · 04-26-2012, 09:02 AM

Mattycollector.com sale page has been updated with May 15th's sale items. Lots of MOTUC goodies to be had!!!!!!!!!

Tiberius · 04-26-2012, 11:25 AM

Where would I be without this thread haha. Really, really need Man-at-Arms. Perfect timing as I will be getting my brother Jay Garrick too.

iLegends73 · 04-26-2012, 11:45 AM

I just checked the site. Adora, man at arms, hordak, stinkor? Damn I'm going broke lol

Tiberius · 04-26-2012, 11:45 AM

Hordak is great. I'd love Stinkor but May is gong to be an expensive month for me :P.

That's where I've been spending most of my wasted time lately.

What's Snake Man At Arms all about? Also the Eternia Guards, are they worth getting?

Snake Man-at-Arms is from the 200X series. In one of the episodes of the final season of the series, King Hiss turned some of He-Man's friends into snakemen.

Personally, I like the Eternia Guard 2-packs. If you're into troop building, they're definitely worth your while since there's multiple head and weapon combinations that can be used. I even used the classic Man-At-Arms head on one of the bodies and kept the Filmation head on the Man-At-Arms body.

There's a lot of good info on this line over at The Fwoosh. You should check it out.
