MOTUClassics.Com: Weapons Pak Review

NoisyDvL547

The MOTU Weapons Pak. I never had one as a kid. A black marker and the sacrifice of Zodac's gear was the closest I ever got. When MOTU Classics took off, I hoped Mattel would resurrect the idea of a weapons pak. One of the main reasons was because I hoped it would include an orange shield and axe for Faker. This first weapons pak, labeled Heroic Warriors, doesn't have those, but it still has plenty of cool pieces. Still, how do you review 19 weapons? We weren't sure. They're all sturdy and painted well. What else? Well, when we can't be informative here at IAT, we turn to cheap humor. Here's 15 Minutes at the MattyCollector Weapon Shop.

ItsAllTrueReview:
MOTU Classics Evil Lyn

NoisyDvL525
That's right, you get not one, but two MOTU Classics Reviews today! Club Eternia subscribers received two figures this month. The Club Exclusive Wun-Dar and the regular April figure, Evil Lyn. If you weren’t a subscriber, you had six minutes to duke it out with the WSOD for this figure. I was online trying to pick up the Weapons Pak and couldn't get to the site until after Lyn was gone. Yep, Lyn sold out in the same timeframe as Moss Man with the WSOD working hard to slow us down. It sure ain't easy trying to buy MOTU figures.

Wun-Dar Review

NoisyDvL535

I don't know how to start this article. For Scareglow or Man-At-Arms, I could regale you with memories of childhood past. For Goddess or He-Ro, I could talk about how it's cool to discover these old characters that didn't make the cut in my youth. For Zodak or King Grayskull, I could talk about my attitudes toward the 200x and how ready I am for an all-new character made specifically for MOTU Classics. But Wun-Dar? What do I say? He is all those things and yet none of them at the same time. As the Savage He-Man, he has a vintage toy, sort of, but he's not part of the vintage mythos. As Wun-Dar, he's technically the only original character in MOTU Classics so far, but not really. He's really an homage to a legend; a tongue-in-cheek nod to a genuine MOTU mystery.

Most Requested Semi-Finals, Round One

NoisyDvL533


Last year, our readers voted DC Comic's Mera as the Most Requested figure of 2009. This week, DC Direct announced a Red Lantern Mera figure in their Blackest Night line. Coincidence? We don't think so! And while we're still waiting for a proper Mera to find her way into DC Classics to cross her off our list, we'll be looking forward to picking up DC Direct's Red Lantern Mera this winter. Around the time she's expected to arrive in stores, we'll be voting on the 2010 Most Requested figure. But, we can't get there without some finalists. Today, we're asking you to pick the first three.

NoisyDvL53
As part of Monday's DC solicits, DC Direct announced two new waves of Blackest Night figures, wave seven in November and wave eight in December. With wave six already on the schedule for November 3rd, that's going to make for an avalanche of new figures right before the holidays. There's some nice surprises including an oversized Arkillo, a 2-pack of smaller figures, more Black Lanterns, and more deputized lanterns including the very first Mera, our 2009 Most Requested Figure, in 6" form!
