If Faker was a proper MotU character he would be called Fakor.
When off-duty, Faker
Is a pie-maker.
He's helped by Fisto
Who mixes the Bisto
For Mer-Man the German
And Simon Furman.
(Evil-Lyn doesn't feature because she doesn't rhyme with anything.)

Well, yeah, if you only care about rhyming the last syllable.  I was playing with words like "leave all in" but it felt too forced. Martin |

He-Man is allowed to have more than one facial expression! He's also blue, which is a bit of a giveaway. Phil and I will destroy you. Faker is BLUE. -Ralph Is blue different to BLUE then? |

Ooh, just to make it a four-way tie, then, Evil-Lyn, the superior version of the only female baddie in this line (so far). But I have to say, this is the weakest wave so far. Martin The weakest wave is the one with flesh Stratos |

The only true Stratos is Scottish Stratos.
Shratosh, if you will.

Just taking a moment to reflect on the fact that Hordak got zero votes last week. Remarkable in a way, given that he is the top boss character in the franchise, the Emperor Palpatine to Skeletor's Anakin.
But then again, if we were doing a Star Wars poll, maybe the Emperor would also get no votes.
And Hordak the figure isn't great, with that unrealistic plastic bat on his arm, and a chunky plastic crossbow. His cloak was good though, marking him out as more important than Skeletor.

To be fair if I'd remembered to vote I might have voted for Hordak.
Or Tri-Klops.

Voted for evil Lyn because it's the one I bought.
Though LOP Mer Man should win this.

Martin It won't be a sin If Evil Lyn does not win for she'll just grin and take it on the chin give her hair a trim eat beans from the tin and drink lot's of gin and put the bottle in the bin then watch Pacific Rim Or Jake & Finn play the violin with Tiny Tim but just on a whim. |

Playing the violin 'on a whim' with Tiny Tim is a fascinating concept....
How would that go....
Pacific Rim sucks balls though; and I don't trust Jake and Finn's intentions one Iota.

It wasn't Fisto, cos he needs his gimmick. But the others were VERY close. I went LOP Merman in the end. ALSO: Grand Moff Muffin |

I managed to obtain Webstor, but under two minutes of opening the figure, the string came untied from the hook and got sucked into the backpack. So his main feature and what made his stand out failed.
Stinkor didn't smell which was also very disappointing and while nice the Eternian Goddess was just a repaint with nothing new added.
So Lords of Power Beast Man is my pick. A nice take of the late Mark Taylor's early concept art as well as coming with Eternian style LOD/Road Warrior shoulder pads and a wrestling belt around his waist.

The only one I have is Webstor, and I haven't yet opened him so can't speak to the quality of the gimmick. The other three are serious shelf-warmers over here, so I've been waiting for Stinkor and LOP BM to be reduced.
I still think I like Webstor's overall look best though, so he gets my vote

Are there any Webstors still about over there @kinjacano?
