[Action Martin]

I finally picked up the first version of the new General Ursus.

Are you referring to his 'collar', or the armor on his upper arms?

Yes, the collar is what I meant.

A friend of mine gave me the new General Ursus for Christmas. He found it at a Target in the Trumbull, CT area. I was disappointed that the shoulder armor wasn't painted like the other version. Also no weapon? Really? Quite disappointing.

I might try painting the studs on his collar with acrylic paint... I would imagine it will stick/hold...

Good eye, yes there are more studs. I didn't notice that til now.

That's an awesome picture!

It seems there are two types of General Urko tunics out there, it's confirmed by Mego this is a running change. The new rectangle design was spotted in a Toronto Toys R Us.

You can't tell in the picture, but there are a lot more studs on the new collar piece. Too bad they aren't silver like the first version.

Has anyone confirmed if it's a Canada-only product?

TRU, Target, Amazon… what the?… is this the reciprocal-karma-shaft of the Topps deal?

Some say karma is a...well you know the rest lol

But I seriously doubt its a Canada only thing, rather we're just behind the US in distribution so later production runs are showing up here

Mind you back in the day we did get Old Bob, STAR, Humanoid and the 6 ST-TMP aliens so who knows?

BTW the photo on Amazon Canada is of the original square version so it could be a crap shoot as to what they actually deliver.

I thought Target failed in Canada.

Edit: Sorry, had to backtrack and reread: Amazon Canada, not Target.

Are the studs on the bib of the new variation not painted? They don't look silver in the picture, but the picture is kinda blurry, so it's hard to tell.

I just received my Ursus from Amazon Canada and its the variant-that's kinda cool because I now have one of each. I only bought him for a possible future custom, now I might need another lol

But in answer to your question the studs are not painted

Interesting, I didn't know the NuMego (I mean "New Mego" ) had variants. I had a lot of new figures, none had variants. I would like to buying both of them.

Mattel has made a ton of running changes to their MOTU Origins line.

The ones I've seen so far include:

Dark skin and light skin on Clamp Champ
Three different eye paints on Hordak
Two different eye paints on She-Ra
Brush painted and spray painted armor on Fisto
Silver armor and gray armor on Battle Armor He-Man
Thick and thin handles on the Power Sword
Two different knee styles on all female figures

That's correct, some of MOTU origins had variants. I just purchased 34 Origins in stores and online. I don't see any variants.

Ah you're right! I'd forget about MOTUO where we have seen a fair number of running changes. Some of those I don't think are as widespread, but things like the knees, different skin tones on Clamp Champ were definitely intentional modifications.
