    Meh. I didn't like that sword then, and I don't like it now. It looks like a spider or a tick or something. Gross.

    @NoisyDvL5, I also gave away all my NA He-Man figures.

    i'm going the opposite route of noisy… grayskull laying eyes on he-man carrying that "thing" will set him OFF!!! how dare he-man or MAA circumvent the power of the rightful king of eternia!!

    but i'm very much looking for to it too, just for other reasons!

    also of note, the horsemen indicated on the motuc boards that this sword does bare some sneaky differences to the previous 200X power sword releases, so even those who have the figures or the stactions don't have THIS sword. cuz they rock like that.

    lastly, who has two thumbs and will definitely be wearing his grayskull ring… bob kelso!!

    @Mark

    I sold almost all of my MOTU 200x, I couldn't part with all of it. I'm down to just 8.

  5. Mark

    @Jim, I will….I will be even cooler looking than I am now (which is very cool)….just when I think I couldn't get any cooler.

    On a more serious note I just made short of £700 selling of a good bit of my collection…..going to list some more items next week….some of the Transformers A and B list.

    @PrfktTear, had to let all my Animated toys go….have to relist Bulkhead and Megatron though. Have to list a lot of G1 still also.

    I now have no MOTU 200x toys at all.

    oh and the triklops secret accessory sucks…it's cool how it comes with the grayskull ring but I wonder how many ADULT Collectors are going to walk around with that thing. 😀

  7. Jim

    and no it's not multiple personalities….just a bunch of bored roommates.

    @johnson and johnson: Let's just say "Jim" isn't just ONE person. 😀

    Those of you who have said this sword is for King Grayskull, I think you're exactly right. That's who I'll be giving it to, as it bugs me that he has the same weapons as He-Man.

  10. NoisyDvL5

    The way I see it, this Power Sword belongs to King Greyskull. It's the sword he should have had in the first place.

    I'm hoping that going forward ALL the figures will have a bonus accessory that either eliminates a past transgression, has some historic importance, or would piecemeal a weapons pack.

    Webstor's bonus accessory should be his rifle in grey. Someone should come with Beast Man's gear in yellow or Zodac's stuff in black. That would be amazing.

    After KG's sword, what other stuff should the previous figures have come with? The first one that comes to mind is Faker should have a shield and an axe!

  11. Johnson @ Johnson

    Wow Jim! Wrong side of the bed or not, you really should start taking a time out or counting to 10 or something BEFORE you post. 😀

    I like the 200X sword. I think it's great that people who have King Grayskull can now give him the sword that's proper for the era he came out of. The Four Horsemen are always looking out for fans. Mattel said they give them leeway on the design of each figure, and it shows.

    I just wish Mattel would do something about these bios. I'm not a fan. And this real name business seems out of control.

    I love everything about this line that the Four Horsemen are responsible for. AKA: the toys.

    I'm on the fence, leaning towards not liking, everything else which Mattel is responsible for: bios, real names, packaging, hiring of Digital River, etc

    Why is Mattel always always at the heart of the problems on their own toy line? 😀

    It's like everyone BUT Mattel knows what is best for MOTU.

  12. Frogster

    I'll take any swords you guys don't want. Will pay for shipping of course! 🙂

  13. Jim

    @Mario and Everyone: Actually, I'd like to personally apologize to MARIO and EVERYONE….I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today…wierd…didn't sleep well.

    I admit I'm not happy with the sword but after rereading my comments, they were an over reaction.

    Again, to MARIO and EVERYONE….I hope you all can accept my sincerest apologies! 🙂

    Oh and I just saw UP and Terminator!

    I recommend UP and Terminator was ok, I suppose. Check "UP" out though! 😀

  14. Mario

    Jim, I wasn't pin-pointing you specifically, & I'll admit that I got off on the wrong foot today, but my main point was just that we should just be happy that we are getting these FANTASTIC toys in the first place.

    Everyone's definitely entitled to their opinion, & I would never want to take that away from anyone, I just find that alot of fans are losing sight of the bigger picture these days, & this is a great example of it. That's all.

    Personally, I don't even care for the sword, & was never a fan of the 200X stuff, but still, I like that Mattel, regardless of what the surprises are, are doing this kind of stuff for us.

    & again, Jim, sorry for the lash out.

    i also beleive people are over reacting to the power sword reveal. there were prototypes on ebay so we had an inkling of what the accessory would be.

    I just think that some people had other ideas of what they "hoped" the secret would be.

    I know that I wanted it to be a BAF part or orko BUT i knew i would be HAPPY with anything since it is an EXTRA they didnt need to include.

    i actually LOVE the bio and the fact that they are melding dif canons(i.e. i am excited about decker! they could make him clamp champ!) and there is nothing in the bio that i hate unlike other bios such as hordak's real name.

    i think we should all RELAX and be HAPPY with mattel putting in extras like this that they dont have to.

    they are toys and they should bring us joy not head aches.

  16. Mark

    It is pretty, cool especially for those who have King Greyskull.

    A weapon is the only nod we need towards the 2002 line….time to move on and go back to the 80's, the best and most successful MOTU line.

  17. How about a Granamyr BAF? 😉

  18. Jim

    ********EDIT**********

    Any pvc 4horsemen creation of some little Eternian animal or somemthing lol…that's what i meant

  19. Jim

    @Scott: I dont think it would've been better…I just think the secret accessory is pointless. Maybe because there was so much hype and talk of it being anything other than a 2002 powersword. Any pvc 4horsemen creation, any new weapon, a baf part, orko..was the majority of everyone's predictions.

    This was just totally unexpected. Seeing it from Prfkttear's stand point…ok…I'll be fine with that. But I think they would've made the figure itself a lot more interesting if they included a more predictable accessory.

  20. Scott

    Seriously though, the only reason you're upset is because you got your hopes up on what the "secret accessory" would be. Mattel did nothing to hint that any of your guesses were correct.

    Would it have been better if there was no secret accessory, so that we wouldn't get any of the things you suggested OR the sword?
