I don't know whether I liked the ripping sound it made, or if it was the saw-like blade with all the rounded nubby points. I had Roton, I really liked that vechicle.

Why commission something nice like this when you can pay someone to snap a few photos? I think its a sign of the times.

But in the end, photos don't hold the charm that some painted art like this does for a line. The Four Horsemen get it. At least for their own properties. :) (Thankfully!) I would LOVE a chance to do official packaging art again for MotU Classics. But who wouldn't love that job?! Sadly it's because they have this idea that photos are cheaper than art.

Does anyone do this today? It feels like almost everyone just uses toy photos instead of original artwork.

Orko just looks like they sat the toy on the cliff and took a picture. I'm surprised he doesn't have a rip-stick hanging out of his side. Also interesting to note that almost all the guys have their elbows bent, ala the figures. (And, notably, Trap Jaw's robot arm is ramrod-straight and a little cumbersome-looking.) I can only assume that regular Skeletor is kicked back in the net hammock at Snake Mountain reading Villain Quarterly and enjoying a nice cup of coffee.

I'm not sold on the new figures, but I did enjoy playing with the originals when I was a little lad. I forgot how many of them I owned! This has brought back memories.
