Well? Anybody think it's sacrilege or just pissed that now most of them are getting short-packed like fucking Spawn?

as much as I liked the original, I can't say nothing about it being a corporate vehicle to sell more toys... because that was what the FIRST one was. Ahh, to be young again...

But anyway... actually, I never caught it yet with the sound on. Me and my friends usually go hang out at the bars when there's nothing to do, and the bar we hang out at shows Cartoon Network, but they're usually playing the music really loud (at least it IS decent music) so when MotU comes on, we're forced to watch it with captions.

I think its pure crap. They just poorly rehash old He Man Episodes with new artwork, and its nothing but all kinds of bad.

On the last episode of the show i saw stinkor was introduced, and on the one before that moss man was. Hopefully the figures will come out, and they will smell, just like the originals

The only bitch to that is you have to send in a receipt that has three MOTU figures on it as well as their UPC codes. Which is just a very ill-covered attempt for Mattel to sell their failed 'Blade' varients which are now clogging the store shelves.

That said, I sent out my stuff for a Moss Man today. I'm such a shill.

Not to mention mattel made it damn near impossible to find any secondary characters. :/

I've heard that Mattel is changing the case ratios to 2:2:2 so they don't fall into that horrible incident when nobody bought the Smash/Spin Blade variants which were nothing more than slightly repainted He-Man and Skeletor figures. That's where the Moss Man event comes into play, they need some way to get those figures off the shelf.

But yeah, more secondary characters are definitely needed. The sooner, the better. I'm tired of having to go elsewhere and pay out the nose for a fucking Sy-Klone figure.

Yeah smash/spin variants suck...unless you customize he-man figures or something then you could actually use them.

I'm still quite pissed that Faker was an exclusive as opposed to an actual figure. What a wasted opportunity.

I haven't bought any of the figures yet, and I don't erally plan to. The new cartoon is horrible. I miss REAL He-Man.

They're doing this with Ninja Turtles, too. It is depressing.

And yet new He-man and New ninja turtles is single handedly better that the new slop nick trys to dish out. Old he-man was funny with its cheesy lines

*breaks boulder*"How do you like that hero?"-Faker
"I dont like it faker and i like you even less!"-He-man

Call me sheeple, but I love the new Masters Of the Universe show. ANYTHING that makes Man-At-Arms somewhat useful deserves respect. I especially love the intro to the show. The only he-man just droned on and one about pointless crap and I love how the new one has him talking and then all of Skeletor's crew attacks.

But anything is better than that new Transformers' cartoon.
