No doubt. But even if I bought it, the current MOTUC He-Man would be my "default" He-Man. I think some characters obviously could improve but I'm not sure everyone needs a 200Xing. I think that's the problem. That He-Man looks cool. No doubt. But even if I bought it, the current MOTUC He-Man would be my “default” He-Man.

But to be clear, I'm still happy with MOTUC as-is, at least right now. That could change if they actually do create some 2002-style versions, though. I've been known to change my mind ("I am large, I contain multitudes"). @MGX: Sure, done. But to be clear, I'm still happy with MOTUC as-is, at least right now.

Saying that, the vintage figures could make figures vdiffernt looking enough with some part swapping so it should work the second time around. For more unique characters like Webstor etc and Spikor they could get away with just a new body. It would be nice to have some figures with unique body parts like Webstor, Buzz-Off, Whiplash.

What I found interesting, though, is that look at that photo proved to me I really do prefer the classic MOTUC to the revamped version. I guess I just prefer the nostalgia. Still, I'd buy it if they sold it.

It's not for everyone, but if you want MOTU characters to look largely different, then this would work. Where MOTUC celebrates the vintage repaints, MOTUC 200X would celebrate the modern updates.
