only when i was a kid

[Nostalgiabuff]

always thought the were out of proportion. loved the toon as a kid but they figures never really appealed to me. although I admittedly did snag Blackstars sword to use with my Mego's

[LadyZod]

I've been picking them up mostly as a novelty to display with my MOTU stuff.

I think they are pretty cool, but don't have any myself.

[Bruce Banner]

Likewise, always thought they were cool, loved the cartoon, but never had any of the toys.

Hmmmm....

I have a couple in rough shape that I've stripped for parts. They're nifty. When I was a kid I had a bunch. (Got them on clearance at Zellers.) I think I like the characters better as toys than on the actual show.... which was kinda kiddified, even for me as a kid. But there were p-lenty of weird monsters, and that's what counts.

The bad guys were pretty fierce looking, especially compared to the actual MOTU figures (the box art is another matter). The little demons that came with the bad guys were pretty cool. I freely mixed Blackstar figures with MOTU back in the day.

I'm a huge fan of this line. Been collecting it for quite some time.

Here is a quick pic of my setup:

Nice collection! First time I'd seen that castle. Is it rare?

[Den82]

I'm big into this line right now. I was buying the small demons left and right to resell, but now I am starting to collect them since I found a near complete Neptul. I need his staff/trident. Anyone have one?

Nice collection! First time I'd seen that castle. Is it rare?

It is rare and very fragile. I have had 3 and all were in perfect shape before they were shipped. The plastic used to make it is extremely brittle. Just be careful if you get one. But, it is a very cool playset. Mine has been painted to look more like it did in the cartoon.

I just recently found my White Knight.

I know his demon is around here somewhere, but I don't know where.

I also have his shield (missing the clip) but his lance is long gone. :(

I still have a bunch of the figures and the green dragon (with green wings, not yellow) blackstar would ride. Didn't the figures originally come with NO sparking action and then later re-released to include this feature?
