The quality on figures are great.

@Monte- you really should get He-Man…I would not worry about QC issues as it seems very rare.

@Monte: I've heard VERY little about the QC issues on this line. It seems to be very rare.

Those quality-control issues are inexcusable, considering the price.

I would like to get a He-Man or a King Greyskull (which I'd call He-Man), but I'm afraid to waste my time and money; I don't want to end up with a screwy-limbed figure.

I received him and I LOVED him…then after an hour or two, I took him down cuz from certain angles…he just doesn't look right.

I loved the 80's toys but they were good for their time.

The 80's look does not seem to fit the modern age of figures. I didn't like the 2002 He-man…they updated him WAY too much with some techno sword. I think the MOTU classics heman evokes memories but imo the style is too 80's for me. I think the 2002 version of He-man was updated way too much.

I think they should have stuck with the 80's look BUT not the 80's body sculpt style. Always thought they looked like midgets on steriods. sigh BUT the figures were great….for their time.

@MBB: You mean like this? I think the idea was to pose him squatting in the package to make it more closely resemble the original figure...that or save on packaging. He does look constipated in there though.

Great review! I only have two complaints with my MOTUC He-Man: I can't bring myself to buy two of these to open one, and why couldn't they posed him in a more iconic posture? I would have loved to see that Filmation pose in mid-transformation where he holds the sword's handle and blade out in front of him horizontally. For now I'll stalk eBay for a loose one I can handle. . .

I think this was a great review. Hopefully you keep it up for the remainder of the line.I would love to see a 200x He-man in classics and if it had the eagle side of Skeletor's sword that would be a cool nod to the Horseman.
