I always thought the hippie was pretty damned funny, myself.

I can't remember which figures were in each wave. I did try Phil's link, but Chrome goes hyper shit trying to load that site!

My own choices; Movie Star Mike Mondo Gecko Slash Wingnut & Screwloose Don, the Undercover Turtle Looking back at that site that lists them, it's a hard decision. The earlier stuff in particular was of a higher quality than I tended to remember it being. |

Fairly certain Usagi exists in my flat, right now. Gonna have to check that.

I don't really know the Turtles stuff well enough to have any real opinion here, so I will have to sit this round out on the sidelines. But the virtual popcorn is for sharing if anyone is peckish.

In no particular order:
Leonardo
Donatello
Raphael
Michaelangelo
Usagi Yojimbo
The first 4 Turtles were fab figures, can remember the day I saw them on import an early visit to the New Oxford St FP Superstore probably not long after it opened. The tree of weapons in the blister. Fab stuff.
The later ones in all sorts of odd gear I couldn't care less for. The originals however....
Stan Sakai's Hare Samurai gets the fifrth vote

Karl The next few weeks will hopefully be more to your liking. I've got stuff lined up for this through to the end of March but if anyone has a toyline they'd like to see featured PM me! |

Also never understood why Usagi Yojimbo didn't look like he did in the comics (Was introduced to Usagi through the comics before his toy or cartoon appearances)

Well, I'm out of this one. The only thing I remember of that toy run is the Atak-Trak (I think), and it's glorious method of locomotion.

Original He-man Original Skeletor Battle-cat Trap-Jaw The Dragon Rider Those were the only MOTU figures I had as a kid  My friends had others but I was happy with those. Castle Grayskull was amazing but the cardboard interior floors worried me even back then. The Wind Raider was okay but I preferred the similar shaped Robo Force vehicles I had around the same time with their crazy air-pump propulsion system. I encountered Buzz-off, Beast Man, Stinkor, Hordak, King Hiss and a few other characters at friends' houses. I'm not sure if I liked the handful of figures I had more because they were mine or because I had all their accessories and could see all that they could do. Ooh! I had the Horde Trooper as well. I liked it because it was a robot and it came with a really good comic, although even at 5 I thought the Horde Troopers had a stupid weakness and I think that coloured my perceptions. -Nick |

Well I never actually owned any of the toys, but I love the cartoon, and the toys looked great. So based on which ones I'd have got-
1 Man-E-Faces
2 Trap-Jaw
3 Ram man
4Skeletor
5 He-Man
Really fantastic unique looking figure designs aren't they!

The "What I owned list" 1) Man At Arms - www.he-man.org/collecting/toy.php?id=508 I loved Man at Arms. Yes his armour was asymetrical and I wanted one with armour on both sides (possibly using the Man E Faces arms & legs) Yes it lacked the moustache of the cartoon character. Yes he should have been packed with a F*** ton of weapons. But this figure just worked for me. 2) Man-E-Faces - www.he-man.org/collecting/toy.php?id=549 One of the first MOTU I played with Human - Robot - Monster. Fab. 3) Trap Jaw - www.he-man.org/collecting/toy.php?id=547 A cyborg with an opening jaw, interchangeable hands, and a helmet he can use as a death slide mount. What's not to love? So needed an elbow on the robot arm though. I saw him and Tri Klops on the back of the cards and comics and looked for years for them before eventually finding them. 4) Roboto - www.he-man.org/collecting/toy.php?id=1253 Take Trap Jaw's hand gimmick, throw in a clear chest with moving gears. Never had one as a child but love the one I bought as an adult. 5) Faker - www.he-man.org/collecting/toy.php?id=545 This toy is mad. There's some crazy repaints out there but this, one of the first, is bats**t crazy. Cyan skin and orange hair? Oh yeah. And even though he's a He-Man clone he's got an evil power sword. Honourable mentions to Jirtsu www.he-man.org/collecting/toy.php?id=572 (Chrome, moving wrist, first holding left hand) Whiplash www.he-man.org/collecting/toy.php?id=573 (tail, armour and new legs) and Mer Man www.he-man.org/collecting/toy.php?id=511 (just cos) Didn't have list to follow...... Oh and you might want to stick to the figures: January is going to be a vehicles & playsets month and I think this series might pop up again! |
