    Glad these are easier to get (or seemingly easier to get) then when the WWE MOTU figures were released. Though i did get them from a reseller on walmart and then immediatley after they were available from BBTS for like $10 less but oh well. I really like these figures and am liking a lot of the accessories and can't wait to mix and match them with my MOTU origins and WWE motu figures as well.

    Artist Freddie Williams made the Batman/TMNT crossovers, as well as MotU/Thundercats and MotU/Injustice. There was a project for DC to publish a MotU/TMNT miniseries but it fell through, so Mattel called him to be the minicomic artist for this collection.

    I actually really love the mutated heroes. I wish He-Man had gotten a mutated looking sword rather than the spiky club, but that's a small complaint. I love the fact that there is a storyline, and obviously they are going to turn the heroes back to the side of good. So I really hope that we will be getting heroic turtle style versions of the mutated heroes as well. I think a He-Man with turtle armor would be amazing. Ram-Man is my favorite, so far, and I want a turtle armor heroic Ram-Man.

    @The_Ninja_Turtle_Himself Рік тому

    I've been a fan of He-Man since the 5th grade. while it may not be as long a time as how long you have been, I share the enthusiasm and interest. and I admittedly do slightly favor the Turtles, but that's simply because I've known the Turtles since I was 3, and I've known He-Man since I was 11. I was hyped for the comic that didnt make it, but what's great is Freddie E. Williams II, the artist for that comic, is the artist for these minicomics! and it means a lot to me that Mattel's making a story out of this, not just because I'd like to adapt it, but mostly because that's how this whole thing should've gone. and what's great is they included my favorite artist: Freddie. I've been waiting for this toyline, and while I wish it was like Super high quality (yknow like something in between the Masterverse range and the Hot Toys if they were 1/12 scale range) it is perfect. It'll go along well with the MOTU Origins figures I already have, and will look even better with my future MOTU Origins figures. so Thank You Mattel for making these figures, and Thank you Pixel Dan for reviewing them
    also YOU'RE RIGHT I MEAN I GET COPYRIGHTING BUT IT WAS SUCH A MISSED OPPORTUNITY HIS NAME WOULD BE MUCH BETTER AS MOUSE-TRAP. IDC WHAT HE'S PACKAGED AS, THAT'S WHAT I'M CALLING HIM!

    Personally, i am a big fan of the Mutant He-Man design because they went the extra mile with details like the new armor & headsculpt, bigger arms and the spiked bracelets and belt.
    Mattel could've just said "Let's make a purple repaint of He-Man!" so he falls in line with the rest of Evil He-Men (Faker, Anti-Eternia, Slime Pit, etc), but thankfully they didn't.
    Besides him, the figure i want the most is Sla'ker. He looks so cool!

    I love the packaging. My only issue is nickelodeon's penchant for adding their name to things airing on their network. The TMNT logo just doesn't look right with the network name looming over it. Also a little disappointed that Mikey is just Battle Armor He-Man when Leo was already the He-Man stand in for the story. With so many other characters to choose from it feels lazy.

    If I can find them, I will most definitely pick up Donatello and Man At Arms, and more than likely Mutated He-Man. I feel like this partnership will last for about a year or so and then in years to come, these may be really sought after. I think there's a lot of potential, and the later releases of Faker/Slash and ESPECIALLY the mutated Moss Man look crazy great! I do think the figures are a bit oddball, but if there's any line that specialized in that, it was TMNT.
    I know if a Mutated Battle Cat comes out, and is even partially TRANSLUCENT plastic, I will be beyond excited.

    I’m holding out for OG Origins figures but these do look fun. I might cave for a good Casey baby though.

    making He-man a villain is a way to keep things balanced, but i do think we will be getting a heroic version of He-Man in the last wave. Wouldn't be the first character to be repeated, since we have Raph as Ram man and also a mutated Ram man, and obviously, two of the turtles are He-Man themed

    Haven’t seen them at stores yet. I’d like to find Leo & Slaker

    Great review Dan! I picked up the Man At Arms figure as I pick up every incarnation of him. I have to say it's a really great figure!
