    Slasher flicks meet MOTU

    I know there was some discussion about these before, but these are so nuts I like 'em.

    Coming Soon: Savage World Welcome to your worst nightmares. Everyone’s favorite Horror Villains – Freddy Krueger from ‘Nightmare on Elm Street’, Jason Voorhees from ‘Friday the 13th’, Leatherface from 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre', Michael Myers from 'Halloween' and Pinnhead from 'Hellraiser' -

      Clever! But I thought I'd like these more than I actually do. I think they'll do really well, but I've come to realize that while I love MOTU, the original format never clicked with me.

        These don't quite click with me. Something like Thundercats, Thundarr, Conan... properties that legitimately could have been made in this style in the 1980s, that works for me. But these, not so much. But I'm sure there are a lot of people who will dig these, and that's great for them.

          Isn't Thundercats and Conan next after the horror ones?

            I'm not into Pinhead much, but I intend to get the rest of them. I think they're great!!

              I think this is clever and likely will be popular but I'm not into the characters or the format.

              Just wanted to add, the price on these seems really reasonable:

                Funko has great prices and if these are anything like the Zorn figures, they're going to be great.

                That said, I'm sad that these are the first figures they managed to get to market in this style, when they had some other cool stuff like Conan supposedly on it's way. But monsters are an easy sell, so it makes sense.

                  Man, I hate the MOTU style body, but these are pretty fun.

                    Not a fan of the slasher characters but I love the style. I'm all in on the Conan and Thundercats figures.
                    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...

                      Hmm, those are good.

                      They spark the imagination of what could be made.

                      Mad Max 2 characters would be fun!

                      And, Matrix from Commando would fit in that style and size.

                        Those are goofy. I might have to pick them up.

                          I am sure these will be a hit.

                          Personally, I would have liked them better if they were just in their normal attire, but in the MOTU style. These just look like bootlegs, which is cool and all, I love bootlegs, but there is just something about these that isn't doing it for me.

                              I might have to get a Panthro if they make one.
