Can you clarify where the line is being drawn for 200x influence? Second heads are out, but 200x weapons, redesigns like Sorceress, and characters like Carnivus & Dactus are still safe? From the outside, this rule appears hard to follow.
Some of you might have noticed that we were a little light on the updates last week. There were a couple family birthdays and some crazy wedding preperation adventures, but mostly, I was neck deep in photographing all of my DC Classics and coding CSS/HTML for the biggest updates to our checklists yet.
You may have heard over the weekend that the 200x Whiplash head caused a bit of commotion in the Mattel offices and the 200x heads can no longer be included in the line. By itself, this might not be big news, but I think it's part of a larger issue. "Mattel Management" is trying to keep 200x out of Classics.
I would've never pegged Whiplash as the figure to traigger an uproar, but given his name, perhaps it's appropriate. The controversy, at least this week, is a bigger story than the figure itself, but will he really be the last classics figure with a MO2Kesque head? After having him in hand, I hope not
Love him or hate him, Mo-Larr has joined the ranks of MOTU Classics. If we had to define sides, I'm Pro-Mo-Larr. I have to be - some of my favorite MOTU characters are giant bees, cowboys, elephant firefighters, and glowing skeletons. How could I turn away from an Eternian Dentist?
Since GB2 Winston (w/ slimeblower) appears to be a WIP can we expect to see the full chest harness for the slimeblower on the final figure?
MOTU Fans can figure out a lot of things in advance. We all knew that Prince Adam would be a He-Man repaint. Some fans were certain that Orko would end up as part of a multipack convention exclusive. But Prince Adam as an accessory? I don’t know about you, but that surprised me.
