The weird aliens show a creativity in design, but seem of pretty limited utility. I hope it's what everyone wanted.

Agreed. As I said last Fall, I was hoping for something more akin to 1930s-50s classic pulp novel/scifi stuff like Buck Rogers/Flash Gordon/John Carter, or like the Captain Glenn variation of Queen Marlena that the Horsemen did for the MOTU Classics line. These look too "modern" for my tastes. The lack of any humans in this line is a disappointment.

I also recall early on when there was a lot of rumors about this line that the Horsemen were possibly going to do a figure very similar to the space suit in the Castle Greyskull playset as a tribute to it, much like their various MOTU tributes in the Mythic Legions line, but that rumor didn't seem to pan out. I'm not too bothered by that now since Mattel themselves finally did a figure of that with their castle accessory set last year for the MOTU Origins line.
