I get everything MOTUC for the most part but getting MOTUC versions of the vintage toy line MOTU characters is what excites me the most. Nostalgia is a powerful force.

MOTUC has been and is my favorite line to collect since its release regardless of all the Mattel/DR screw-ups. It is one of (if not THE) the best modern retro toylines there is (much like the 25th Anniversary GI Joe and the 200X MOTU line was at the time).

MOTUC has the power!

Yeah, except the last figure I really felt excitement for when I did open him was Fisto. Everyone after was opened, put together, looked at for a few minutes, and then placed on my shelf only to be touched when I moved, and then again when I was debating on what to sell, then to be placed on a different shelf for display after I sold off the other figures I did not want.

I just don't think I am the He-Man fan I thought I was. I think I really only loved the figures because of the sculpts and articulation, and now that I have gotten into Figuarts, which has better articulation, better accessories, and feels like a collector's line, MOTUC just means nothing to me anymore outside of the main few. Lately, the only other non-Figuarts line I have been desiring and enjoying are the DCU lines.
