Amusing Articulations: When Do You Want Your Brimstone?
Mr. Rant tells fans “stop placing restrictions on the MOTU Classics line!”
“So here’s a question for all my readers. Why can’t some fans accept new ideas and concepts in their favorite properties? I’ve been noticing this more and more lately in a few different industries, but the last couple days, it’s the MOTU community that has drawn my ire.
Among many a MOTU fan, it seems to be open season on 200x bashing ever since MOTU Classics started. Fans of the original series like to treat 200x like some sort of nightmare concocted by Skeletor. Yet these were the same people that I seem to recall watching the show and happily gobbling up the figures (when they could find them) just like everyone else. It was He-Man after all, but did they only like it because it was the only He-Man stuff around at the time? Any port in a storm, I guess. Now that MOTU Classics is in full swing, these same fans that stood with us have now turned on us and want to convince us that we too were wrong for liking it.

To MOTUC Collectors across the globe, I wish you a Happy Adora Day! Or is it a Happy Battle Armor He-Man Day? Not to knock the Princess, as I'm happy to get her, but this is the "Sellout Race" I've been most curious about since SDCC and, right now, my money is on Battle Armor He-Man. He's the He-Man of choice for many of the younger fans and all those great vintage oils have convinced us that he belongs atop Battle Cat. The next few days (hours? eek!) will tell the tale. But those two heavyweights aren't the only thing on-sale today. Here's the full list:
