Long-time collectors have multiple purple swords at this point. We understand the vintage line repeated accessories, but we&#8217;re not sure if that should be a nostalgic callback. Can Mattel look into redecoing these repeated accessories to enhance future figures instead of reissuing the same ones repeatedly?<\/p>\n<p><strong>At this point it is too late to make any changes to this figure. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" align=left src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.itsalltrue.net\/newsimages\/matty\/matty070212b.png?w=640\" hspace=8 vspace=4 data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><span style=\"color:#ca0003\"><strong>MOTUClassics.Com Asks:<\/strong><\/span> Depending on how you count the beasts and figures with only slight differences, the MOTU Classics line should reach its 100th figure sometime in 2013.
