Oh dear, this makes the strangest Super7 stuff look bland.

Yeah they just turned up the saturation and blacked out the eyes.... I guess I collect things others don't "get", but I mean, c'mon....

This is truly hideous. It looks like something your kid made in kindergarten.

Love it! If only Mattel would do similar decos on their mainline figures, comic book inspired etc.

This thing dropped on Friday and it could have been yours for $450.00. It sold out, so if you consider yourself a MOTU Origins completist then and you didn't get one of these things, then you're no longer a completist and probably never will be since this thing will go for double that and up on eBay (probably).
I know it perfectly captures the artist's style (the blacked out eyes and the loud neon colors), but Mattel please don't do more crap like this. The clear Skeletor you sold on that website was fine (and I noticed it was shipped 2 days ago), but it was $50 and not $450. The Super7 Thundertank is $450 and the Star Wars Razorcrest and Marvel Legends Sentinel are less than $400, but those are all huge and intricate releases. All this is is a $20 Battlecat and He-Man with an awful paint deco and now I'm really thinking about not collecting MOTU Origins because I'm a completist and I'm not going to pay that much money for something like this. I guess I should ask is this an actual Mattel figure and Battle Cat with special deco or is it considered something else? I'm guessing it's a figure given the Mattel connection. This is unacceptable and I'm gonna have to sleep on it. Not having this even given how awful it looks is going to bother me, and any enjoyment I get out of having these figures again (I had them all the first time around in the 80s) disappears like 10 or 12 farts in the wind when I see this....this limited edition fart of a release that disappeared in the wind at $450 a pop. I'm actually surprised that this sold out at that price, as well as all the other super expensive toys that sell out. Last time I checked, we were in the middle of a pandemic and most people can't work and tens of millions of people lost their job. I guess all of us toy collectors have decent paying, essential worker jobs. I know I do, but I bought the Sentinel, Razorcrest, and I'll probably get the Thundertank, so I can't drop $450 on this POS even if it weren't sold out unless there was a payment plan. This sucks Mattel and isn't fun anymore. I've been collecting as an adult for 32 years and have had action figures in my life since 1979/1980, and I've never said it wasn't fun. Way to go Mattel and hell, thanks to you too Hasbro. Jackasses. I have NO interest in this item even if it was $20... but that's be/c I just find the art style completely unappealing.. to me at least. I feel pretty much the same about the art prints they released. I think they are just crazy overpriced items for exclusivity sake, and were bought up so fast buy the bots I hope they just get stuck with them. But for completists sake, this item would never be considered part of any Origins complete checklist.. so at least in that sense hopefully you feel better about it. |
