Funko is mixing DCU with MOTU

[palitoy]

This will likely excite some here:



They were trying to pull a hoax online that these are 1982 prototypes of some sort.

Yeah, I had to roll my eyes at that Pixel Dan video. I'm pretty much the target market for these MOTU knock offs. My advice to Funko is don't try to turn me off with stunts like this.

Yeah he posted that in a group I'm in. I didn't want to be negative but I also rolled my eyes. Pretty sure one of the guys in the Polaroid is wearing a fitbit.

Pixel Dan is an upbeat positive guy, so I hate to be negative about anything he does, but yeah...that was a bit much. If he'd did the reveal IN the video, it would have been fun. Teasing it out, was a bit off-putting.

Yikes! I’m happy that we never were presented with these when we were kids. I’d hate to have lost out on Super Powers for the likes of these.

^This, haha!

I didn't like MOTU then and I don't like MOTU now, but the ReAction variations have definitely given me an appreciation for the costume design.

[Mary Canary]

Is this like a real thing? I love DC, and I love MOTU - but I'm not feeling this.

[PNGwynne]

Simply, yuck.

[Klosterheim]

They would take getting used to. Some things look good in that style and others don't. They are a little weird, but a later addition could turn out cool, if it is something I'm not expecting.

[Hedji]

Always loved the MOTU character designs, but disliked the barbaric wrestler form.

ReAction MOTU is my thing too.

[Megotastrophe]

Well Warlord was released by Remco in this genre... So its not a total fabrication.

[Mego Newbie14]

No. Just no.

[palitoy]

I personally never warmed to the body style of these figures but if Mego licensed MOTU, I'd be drawn to them because of the character designs.

License issues aside could it even be done at Target's price point? Just for starters you would need a new more muscular base body. Then there are loads of characters like Ram Man, Clawful, etc. that would absolutely require unique tooling.
