Would love to see a 200X line, but not from Mondo. The paint rubbing is unacceptable at the prices they charge.

This.

I've finally realized what their 1/6 scale line reminds me of - Diamond Select. They're like 1/6 Diamond Select figures. (Though to be fair, they look much better). But the quality? Ugh. I think it just makes me angry, because something that looks so good shouldn't be manufactured so poorly. And it's been consistent. I tried with their Turtle line, dipped again into the MOTU line and picked up their latest Creature from the Black Lagoon as well. All have had essentially the same issues - these guys just don't seem to be able to get any better. But oh, I really wish they would.

And now I'm just depressing myself...
 
I may sell off my exclusive He-Man and Skeletor and go for the figures from the mew cartoon. More like the 200X line I enjoyed. Also partially because I missed out on the exclusive Hordak.
 
I don't know, I'm not really feeling any of these personally. The Hordak is cool for those who wanted the filmation look (and hopefully those fans will be able to score one) but my Hordak was always the original figure version, so I'm already sorted there with the previous release.

It's cool that they ate releasing a Scareglow variant for those that missed the first (for various reasons), but he looks a bit too simplistic to me and I don't know how well he'll match with previous Mondo motu figures as a result. So I'm kind of on the fence on that one, personally.

Motubi Man-at-Arms just doesn't look very good to me, that repaint style just doesn't suit the character and looks like a bit of an eyesore to me. I quite liked the Skeletor and Mer-Man motubis, but not this one.

She-Ra I'll reserve judgement on until I see a painted up version.

And finally, Revelation Skeletor I'm currently indifferent to, as I haven't seen the series yet as it was spoiled for me literally right before I was about to watch it, and now feel in no grwat hurry to watch and might even wait until the second half drops before I do so. Once I have the context of the show in mind I may feel differently, but right now show unseen the style and character design on this doesn't do much for me to be honest.

Looks like a pretty lean rest of year for me, mondo motu wise, and at the recent prices that's probably a good thing, but I'm sure there are plenty of other fans that will be more than happy with some, or all, of these offerings (providing they can actually get them).
 
I might try to grab Scareglow even though the character never really hit with me as a kid...he just looks cool. Really need a He Man and Skeletor reissue since I got in on these so late.
 
I get that this was done for comedic purposes but I would rather starve than beg my wife for permission to buy toys lol
Agreed, in my household there is only buying from me and groaning from her, haha.

Did Mondo ever release a Filmation version of He-Man or Skeletor?
 
No filmation versions yet, and He-Man hasn't had any variants or re-releases yet, where this will be the 4th (5th if you count Keldor) version of Skeletor released.

They need to release a new He-Man ASAP.
 
@youbastards - Power Con is on and don't know if you or anyone else can upload pics?

Dang it @Eamon! I thought I was done with the regular Skelly and now you made it harder not to get Panthor to go with him.. :mad:

Edit from previous post: Classic Variant Hordak is up for grabs now and tommorow at Power Con and whatever is left will be on Mondo's website on Tuesday.
