- The Fwoosh has a great early review of MOTUC He-Man. Again, my jealousy knows no bounds.
- New, high-res photos of Masterpiece Grimlock. Looks fantastic. (Tformers.com)
- Action figure sales up 1.2% for first three quarters of 2008 (Playthings.com via Fanmode)
- Target exclusive Clone Wars program (via Rebelscum.com)
- G.I. Joe: Resolute Cobra Commander figure image. Looks pretty cool. (Hisstank.com)
AAAAAAAaargh! I wants me some new He-Man! Another positive review is encouraging, and is refreshing after hearing so much negativity about the line from those still stuck on the 2002 line. That picture of the three He-Man figures, the updated plastic incarnation of the most powerful man in the universe is by far the best we've ever seen.
Those new pictures of MP Grimlock put to rest any fears I might have had about his size and scale issues. He's shown with Classics 1.0 Prime, so we know he'll at least tower above him. I wasn't expecting him to tower over my MP Prime, that would just be unrealistic, but hopefully in robot mode they will be equal.

Wow, totally agree, He-Man is excellent. Cannot wait to get mine. I loved the 2002 line and would have liked more figures but it is not going to happen. As much as the new cartoon ruled, this is the He-Man from the toys and cartton we all grew up with. A perfect upgrade of the original…if only Hasbro could do this with Transformers. I love the new MOTU Classics so much I am taking a break from colecting Transformers and focusing on MOTU.
Thanks to your link to Fwoosh, I've officially decided to get the Classics version of He-Man:

That said, the 2002 He-Man was the worst figure of the lot, so it's not hard to do something that looks better. Classics Mer-Man and Skeletor look corny as hell compared to the 2002 versions.
True Monte, 2002 Skeletor and Mer-man look amazing and are great toys. Skeletor had a real sinister gothic look to him. As much as I love the 2002 series I love these versions…so I am not going to dweel on the past and just buy the Classics as well as trying to complete my 2002 collection. I wuld need to get some Stactions.
