    Separated at Birth?

    One is considered a failure, the other massively successful.

    Hasbro was just a few years too early!

    Hasbro Invaders look so weirdly unformed, like they were born prematurely. Their body looks like a small Stretch Armstrong and the face like it needs a skull underneath. I always hated their look and thought it was creepy. But yes the MOTU line has a strong callback to to this look just with definition and individuality

      I loved the creepy look of the Intruder when I was a kid. Kind of alien and kind of Neandethal-ish was a good mix for a villain with the back story I saw in the cartoon ads in comics.

        I mean it's possible, but I don't really see it. Besides, Mattel already had muscled and crouched posed figures in 75 with Heroes in Action and Mego had the similar to those Comic Action Heroes in 76.
        You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

          I think the head sculpt is pretty cool, but the rest was pretty messed up.
