Not a fan of MOTU but I won't pretend these aren't a good idea. Super 7 does a nicer job than Funko on this stuff IMHO.

Super7 Does Kenner Style He-Man and MOTU

I agree. But Funko does a better job on amassing licenses and offering a large variety of properties that interest me. Completely different business models.Comment

Odd how a thread that doesn't involve Funko devolves into a backhanded Funko slap.
Again.Comment

I could be wrong but that feels like practical sculpting and that seems to evoke a certain vibe to it on it's own.Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions

Look closer at the Jaws figure pics. They exhibit so much Funko style, I'm surprised you and others aren't seeing it. Large heads, soft sculpts... it's all there. They're not as extreme as the Trek figures, but there's no doubt they are Funko. They'd never be confused with ZICA or Super7.
But you're right, this isn't the place to get into that again. These MOTU figures are sweet!!!

I pass on probably more Funko than I buy, but I love what they're doing. Lots of their properties aren't for me. They have their own style, and clearly it's not for everyone.
I've never been a huge MOTU fan, but these do hit the sweet spot don't they? Now if they can card them with some Earl Norem art, and paint them colorfully, they've got my dollars. I hope they are made available at a decent price point.
Here's a thought... Maybe Super7 can be the first to use some good old fashioned shiny GLOSS paint on these. Nobody in the retro game has quite nailed that yet.Comment

If they were to use the original artwork from the old toys, I would never take these out of the packages. I'm pretty excited about these.Comment

Looks like Super7 is doing He-Man! Kenner Style!
SDCC Exclusives are Unpainted Prototypes. Surprised Mattel is letting them do this.
I won't chase the unpainted prototypes, but I'm down for some painted ones. These look pretty awesome. Mattel's proportions bothered me from their inception.I am more than machine. More than man. More than a fusion of the two.Comment

First thing that springs to mind is what are the backing cards going to look like for the official release figures. If they get it right, you can count me in for a set of these. They look fantastic.Comment

They already have the nostalgic look needed to make this work. In color, and on nice cards, these could be just right..
