Masters Of The Universe Classics

.....I am speechless....just speechless. Alright so if you have any connection to the masters of the universe series, or you are in anyway interested in these figures......brace yourself. New Classics figures based on the original masters of the universe figures have been announced....first off let me say that the style of these figures are amazing. They're not like the Transformers classics, where they're updated versions of the originals...but more like the 25th annaversary Gi.Joes. Where the Design is chillingly faithful to the original, but updated in terms of articulation and in the level of detail. I was a big fan of the MOTU line way back when...those were more updated to A newer generation...here we have figures for the collectors...WITH HE-MAN'S MULLET!!! YESSS! 3 have been announced so far:

He-Man: wow.....wow....from the harness to the hair...and of course..he-man's sword...it's all here. Now we can only hope that it connect to skeletor's sword.

Beast Man: OH MY GOD!!! LOOK TA THE DETAIL!!! WOW! just wow.....i started gettin REALLY excited at the point I saw this picture...beware thought....some bad news is ahead....

Skeletor: The big daddy of all 80's villians...the mighty skeletor. The best thing about this figure? The face. I love how the paint is identical to the originals....fantastic....just fantastic.

(classics skeletor pic not available. The magazine cover is the best I have.)

Now.....the bad news....*gulp*.....these figures.....retail.....$20....and as if that was bad enough.....*double gulp* they're only available online from mattel's new online store MattyCollector.com Which means these things are gonna be impossible to get...unless you stay up late all night. BUT....there is some "good" news. Only ONE figure will be available each month. So Your wallet will have time to recover after each purchase.

My Opinion? Wow...some GREAT news and some CRAP news all in the same swoop....on the Cap-O-Meter...they score a 3 out of 5.....wow i hate doing that. Bad availability can ruin everything that is good in a toyline. (movie masters ring a bell)
