The MOTUC figure for May is Optikk. Yes, Optikk

[Werewolf]

Not a figure I expected or wanted to see this early in the line.

Pics of Optikk, Evil-Lyn, Mossman, Wun-Darr and hints of some up coming figures. Looks like we are finally getting She-Ra.

wow.... I am not a historian of MOTU, to even Know who that is...
Perhaps They finally made thier 1st non-sell-out ?
I'm on the Fence from seeing the Pics...

I do hope they get to the Shadow Reaver ...

I saw the Evil Lynn, and thought She looked Great.

The Star Sheild looks as if it's for Two-Bad...
& The Mouth Piece, perhaps Stinkor ...

I like the Stands Quite a Bit ... Those are neat stuff.

& I can't wait to Own Trap-Jaw.

[Werewolf]

Optikk is from the New Adventures of He-Man line. Yeah, the He-Man in space line. I can post a pic of the original figure if you like.

The gold shield is without a doubt She-Ra's. I'm guessing the vial next to it is Keldor's (the 2002 Keldor came with one), the grey shield maybe for the King Grayskull re-issue and the gold power sword might be Thunder Punch He-Man.

[BlackKnight]

I didn't get , that That was a Vile.

Kildor and She-Ra sound Great !

Yeah,.. when He-man Went to Space ..., I can't say I was there.

It was a bizarre line. The only returning MOTU characters in the toy line were He-Man and Skeletor. One of the Skeletors has a pony tail. I kid you not. He actually has a rooted ponytail. It did have some cool villains in it. Most of the heroes are pretty lame though.

[Werewolf]

Now that I think about it, the grey shield probably goes with Thunder Punch He-Man too. Close enough looking colorwise if they don't bother to make a new shield sculpt.

[BlackKnight]

He actually has a rooted ponytail.

Well, Atleast We Know His Hair was finally growning Back from the Acid to the Face Encounter.

I actually Saw a Couple of these ..., as far as figures go, now Since I thought about it..., Maybe KayBee, like 3 for 9.99 or something. I remember at the time BTAS Toys had just started up ..., They were there for like ever in a Day,.. then suddenly 1 day, when Re-ordering of Shelves happened , they were Magically gone.


I can't say the Idea of thunder Punch He-Man sounds cool just yet ...
I'd rather have a Prince Adam .. However Do Like Battle Armor He-Man and Wun-Darr ..., so I am sure I will think he is also cool.

Same here. What made the original Thunder Punch He-Man figure cool was his cap blasting action feature. Without it, he is just a so-so looking repaint of He-Man. Hopefully we will still get Prince Adam this year.

I can't believe they are going into that "He-Man" line. I guess they really want to extend this line on out and not use up all the popular characters. Which is a smart strategy, but I think they could have left that 2nd series alone and no one would have asked for them.

Thunder Punch He-Man was the BOMB as a kid. Any time your action figure can make an exploding sound is cool.

[Werewolf]

Optikk?? He man in space is the nasty redheaded stepchild of MOTU.

Whats next Butt Head?

Only cool thing about the line is Skeletors flying sub would make a good ship for Marvel Legends Namor.

I'm guessing it's so Mattel can get as much bang for their buck out of the new Trap Jaw/Man-E-Faces molds they made and squeeze another figure out of it. The Body is all Man-E-Faces except for the head and chest harness.

this has me ticked. just another reason i did not get the 2010 subscription. I thought this was originaly a he-man line. As soon as they started in with all the woman figures i started to wonder. I'm sorry to the ladies here but i never collected girl figures as a kid. Heck i never even had a female mego, the only female i remember having was a few princess leia figs. Now we get he-man in space before figures like man-e-faces and prince adam, and Fisto. And what makes me more confused if when you go to he-man.org every fig put out is a grail figure. I'm sure several people are loving this optix garbage. My only prob now is i have missed out on wundar and i did want him.

All the woman figures!? Wha!?

Out of the 20 figures released, as of now, there's only been 3 female figures. Even counting April's upcoming Evil-Lyn figure, it's still only up to 4 and by that time Trap Jaw, Battlecat, Wun-dar and Mossman will have been released. I can understand not wanting the Green Goddess, as she was only in the first mini comic, and maybe even Adora, but I just cannot grasp why any MOTU collector would not want Teela and Evil-Lyn.

Heck, without the VERY few female figures they've released, the line would be a total sausage fest.
