>But I'm open to any ideas, same as Joe. If they come off well, I'd pick up a few.
>As someone who was a kid in the late 80s/ early 90s, it's hard to express how foreign and off the NA toys were from what we knew as He-Man
Late reply but I dove through the archive just to find a few pics. I cant agree with you enough. It seems like they wanted to split the difference between GI Joe and He-man in both scale and design, but ultimately landed in a no man's land between the two that failed to target either audience. It's a betrayal of MOTU just as it is a poor excuse for a GI Joe competitor. Which is ultimately why the Mutants (and the vehicles/playsets) stand out so much. They're not at all "MOTU" but they're damn fun nonetheless.
