RE: Is Power Con now...dead?

Considering what the fans built over the decades - a massive and invaluable resource for all things MOTU and POP - the closing of the Org was definitely mishandled and frankly traumatic. All due respe...

@ornclown @durendal I just measured CC Stratos and CC Teela and there is about a half inch difference. If the are 1:12 scale then Stratos would be 6 feet and Teela would be 5 feet. That puts Teela abo...

RE: Origins General Discussion

A lot of people would chalk this up to us just "being picky" or too critical... however, these are issues that even the layman can see right out. Put Teela next to He-Man (both from the same exact lin...

@abaddon Without a doubt, the leaner, taller, more articulated build of Masterverse figures would make the perfect canvas for characters like Hoove, Lizorr, Nocturna, Visar, Kayo, Spinwit, et al. In ...

I never even thought of that. I totally agree. IF they do Skeletor right & give him a proper skull head. Not the mayonnaise/mashed potato-face from the 87 movie.

@durendal It's hard to imagine someone doing this to something that was enjoyed, used, and referenced by so many like-minded people. Some .org members literally found their soulmates on the site, and ...

This was the impression I was under the entire time... At one point, some of the .orgers petitioned to raise money for the site (I think Jack Olesker took lead on this), and almost unanimously, the co...

I think they changed sculptors because those first few figures were off. Mattel needs to make newer versions of He-Man Skeletor and Beast Man.

That bothers me too. I should be able to recreate the Secret of the Sword poster without She-Ra looking like a tween.

@durendal is it really that much? At the 1:12-ish scale that makes all the woman about 5 feet tall and all the men about 6 feet. They probably moved all the people that were good at females to work on...

Sad to say you probably missed your chance. I heard Val burned his bridge with Mattel and until Mattel wants to bankroll it again I don't think Power-Con is ever coming back. And I don't consider gett...

RE: Origins General Discussion

Interestingly, the CC She-Ra stands almost the same height as vintage POP She-Ra. So the issue is simply that the men are too tall. But either way the disparity is very annoying.

@ornclown that might be a bit of an over exaggeration but you do have a good point. The women of MOTU shouldn't be dainty. They need to meet more, Lucy, Lawless and Gal Gadot and less Scarlett Johanss...

Yup... it really sheds light on the disparity between someone who is passionate about a property and someone who is only in it for the paycheck.

@durendal that's looks like Barbossa's work but he's having problems with his local post office so I'd hold off on ordering from him.
