Previous general >>11599568

TQ: If you could create a while new faction (good guys or bad guys!) for MOTU what would it be?

First time making a general. Sorry if I screwed it up, I tried updating all the information in the last general, and adding anything I could find.

This should be a good week...not only should we be getting the official reveal images for the Club Grayskull figure that goes on sale on the 18th, but "Sword of Flaws #2" goes on sale on the 19th so we should get the preview of that too, shouldn't we?
We'll have lots to talk about

Also, do you think they'll announce the next batch of MC figures before Christmas? After this Dec 9th sale, we'll be all caught up, and we know the retail offerings for the beginning of 2026, but nothing about the first MC releases for next year

Maybe a do-gooder line of knights that mean well, but do bad things on occasions because they override morals with rules? Ans they all have a knight motif but its also based around warriors? And they have a knights of the roundtable sort of thing going?

I thought my prediction that it would be GBW was funny enough, but it stemmed from the idea that because the snake haters kicked up such a stink, that Mattel would repay you all by giving you Axel shit that would make you pray for more snakes.
But I don't think I could have possibly predicted anything as shit as fucking Red Shadow out of the gate.

I don't know who told you that, but have never heard or seen any indication that Red Shadow is the dungeon beast.
I think you've been had by a headcanoner who equates a superficial similarity (the fur) with being the same character.

Fans are like that. They don't recognize something and instead of just accepting they don't recognize it, say that it's whatever character closest matches.

Given that Mattel gets the DC license back next year, we have discussed the potential for cross-over, the question I have is would you want the DC heroes to lean savage or technological in their armour? Or a mix? Like a barbarian Superman, and a sci-fi Batman. Me personally, not matter what happens I just really want Batman in armour akin to this. Which is from the Total Justice line (great figures) and I think draws inspiration from the armour Bats wears in the Batman vs. Predator comic. Which goddamn imagine a Predator crossover, that'd be something.

I remember the same thing from back when, only with actual plot and consequences. Dark Horse Comics did that to perfection.

A couple showed up in Classics minicomics, but otherwise nowhere outside of Axel's concept art for planned Classics figures that never saw the light of day.

Most of them either started in Origins or got concept art in CLassics but were never made.Maybe they were mentioned in Classics bios and few appeared in Classics minicomics.

Because point of pars reuse is saving time and money and getting licence to use Fuerza-T would be counterproductive to that.
Yet another shit we'll never see again because likely profit doesn't justify effort so companies dont care.Why get rights to an obscure fan-favorite when you can use popular characters you already own or just make new ones?

I'm not trying to be a crab in a bucket but I never got the appeal of He-ro. He's too much of a plucky lucky go hero clean shaven average dude to fit either the barberian prehistory or wizard aesthetic. He should have been something like this.

I guess they were going for a Luke and Obiwan thing?

I brought this up to some of the Mattel team at SDCC. It’s the grayest of areas. Mattel sued them to stop making them back in the day. It’s been long enough but they’re not going to go and make it themselves now is a bad look. If they were to make them at all, they’d have to be called something else. Or they might have to be called a variant such as Havok Powered Clawful, Avian Power Webstor, Power Sword Mer-Man or Wasteland Fisto. No one has legal expertise but they weren’t sure if it would undo anything from the lawsuit or open them to be countersued. Top Toys probably wouldn’t care but they could also try something since they are technically working on a reboot and cartoon for Fuerza T. That said it’s been 5-6 years they’ve been working on this.

Axel has drawn them on some box art before but he said to Mattel legal it’s really Clawful, Mer-Man and Webstor standing there.

The one guy did say they’d be the easiest part swap figs they’ve designed.

If they continue PoG next year with the same format as this year, it basically guarantees that, at best, it will be Eldor + two shitters and, at worst, it will be three shitters.

The Filmation people said they created She-Ra.
It's fuzzy when the Barbie division took over toy design. Justine Dantzer, the first PoP toy designer, was told to start with the heroine being Teela's twin sister instead of He-Man's, which predates the work Larry DiTillio is credited by Lou Scheimer and J. Michael Straczynski as doing at Filmation (creating Adam's twin sister, the Sword of Protection, Hordak and the Horde, etc), which would indeed have the Barbie division being where it started.

Well yeah. His role is to be heroic in the past, when they'd established King Hiss comes from.
Wizard heroes work better back then than He-Man types since the story has an established ending that includes magical banishment.

That is my head cannon characterization of He-Ro. He just looks so fucking smug and useless.

This is probably an unpopular opinion but I think all the Preternia stuff is half baked and never went into production in the 80s for good reason. He-Ro and Eldor make sense to bring back out of the mothballs more for their infamy as lost characters, than the strength of the design.
But they failed to launch back then, and now this concept of Preternia is supposed to be the rocket fuel for all these other characters....but they more boringer than the "A Lister." Yeeesh.

Right now my current Motu want list is
>Snake Clamp Champ once he hits clearance
>Skell Ra once the scalper bring him up here to leaf land
>Sketch SyKlone once the scalpers are selling him up here
That's bad for Mattel. This is coming from someone who was buying litteraly everything despite the shipping costs or the scalper taxes. you could say my enthusiam has been struck by the Diamond ray of Disappearance.

Aren’t these part of those Crybaby.org bios? I know there was a while were a few of them were doing them and they were ok’d by Mattel but who knows if those people are still there.

I thought this new team was trying to make their own canon. They changed Wun-Dar as being pretty much the Oo-Lar til he got the armor in the comic. Plasmar was shown to be in Preternia in his card art. He-Ro was back to being Grey til he met Eldor. Sharella was the trainer of He-Ro. It seems like they’re going back to the old story instead of the Nutlick trash. Kudos to the team for trying to do better.

I do like Bandwidth. He feels like something that would have come out in the later era and his techy design fits with Rio Blast and Dragstor. His ye olde wireless radio inspiration also fits with Fearless Photog as another type of analog technology in figure form.
I'm not really a fan of Gladiator. His techy design fits in with that era of figures, but he kind of feels half baked, like there was no thought as to what his purpose is. But both are preferable to Red Shadow.

Well the difference is that I don't think Olmec Toys is in business anymore, so the license was probably dirt cheap, as opposed to Top Toys who are still around

But the irony in that is that Sun-Man had way more brand new tooling than Fuerza-T would require, apart from Platino's beard I think it was all just straight redecos

The Plasmar one is his official Classics bio from his boxart
(But I will concede that it was during Super7 years, and Super7 had hired two .Org fanfic writers to do bios, but it was still the bio of the official release)

>Plasmar was shown to be in Preternia in his card art

I think you mean Lord Grasp's...and Lord Grasp is also shown to be a current year character rather than a PoG character in his minicomic and the Snake Mountain box despite Megator being on his card art.

And just for the record, I'm not saying you're definitely wrong, Plasmar could wind up Preternian, but I don't think we have anything strong enough to go on to make that claim.

I like Scott. His lorefagging was cringe but the guy did a great job with Classics in general. You can just turn the box over and not read the bios.

As for Specter himself, I dont like nerds who try and police what's "real" Motu or not. We already had ninjas, time travel, and by the later waves Motu had already lost the shared parts aesthetics. Anyone hating on MS for that is just being bitter they didn't to make Motu toys.

So do PoP designs and NA designs but they're constantly begged for to be included.
Just saying.

Let's be honest. We just hate Spector because we hate Spector, the same way we hate most of the Axelshit. We don't need to reach for justifications like "it clashes".
