I'll be on the fence about that at 65 bucks. Hope they don't consider more stuff at a larger scale.

Battle Cat with no He-Man is unsatisfying. But if they made a He-Man, I'm sure it would look awkward or odd, so I wouldn't ask for one. I guess this is similar to when Lego offers larger items that aren't in scale with their figures. It's more like a statue to me, which some people are interested in. This seems like a test-the-waters move, too. If there were solid plans for a Panthor, that would significantly boost my interest. They might look good as matching display pieces. But they couldn't flock it, which would ruin it for some obsessive types  (definitely not me, though). |

I love that advent calendar! I got the MC TMNT advent calendar a few years back, and loved it. Kept it on my desk at work, it made December fun opening up a new piece every morning. And I wasn't really into their modern TMNT line. I'm a big fan of the MOTU line though.
So far I'm missing:
Battle Bonez (way too expensive online)
Scareglow (also too expensive; I'm possibly missing the Stratos from that set too, but I vaguely recall getting it at a reasonable price after the other Stratos came out)
The Skeletor heads (I'd really want them at or close to retail price, which ain't happening with international shipping so far)
Battle Ram set, but I'll probably be getting that soon
It's the only toy line I currently collect. Similar to what someone else said in the thread, I got into MC via the classic Turtles. Started MOTU with the Wind Raider set and the five-pack, actually when I was in New York for WrestleMania 35. There were no Walmarts for miles in NY, so I went out to Jersey for them. Since then, I've found everything fairly easy to get hold of online in the UK (apart from the stuff mentioned above).
I still haven't built any of the sets. I'm in the process of rearranging my bedroom, which will involve adding a work desk. I'm thinking of getting a pretty long desk and having a section of it devoted to MC.

Love the MOTU line of Minifigures. Have Skeletor, Evil Lynn, Beast Man and He-Man.
Also have a bunch of the early pre-Construx Marvel minis as well. Really dig the quality of all their stuff. Wanna add Alien and Predator as well but having a hard time finding both.
Saw a Sam Fisher from Splinter Cell the other day and was tempted but this is a Metal Gear Solid household so I passed.

A Metal Gear Solid household. Nice. haha
I've become such a MC fan/collector that what started as MOTU-only eventually branched into pretty much any figures that I recognize (for crossover potential or customization possibilities to characters I loved like Futurama and TMNT to almost everything). So even though I never played either game, I bought Sam Fisher and Psycho.
What can I say? It's a sickness I don't want to cure. haha

I don't know if you've seen it and it's not the one you want, but there's a Predator two-pack on Amazon that's pretty cheap. www.amazon.com/Mega-GPJ49-Dutch-VS-Predator/dp/B07YT798DT/ |

I'm really ready for more Masters of the Universe stuff. Mattel previewed a lot of product last year, but it's all pretty much been released. I guess there's another wave of singles coming sometime this year, but otherwise everything hit in the first quarter.

That's something at least, but yeah, I'm wanting figures and larger sets, too. I'd take all three of the ones you mentioned, as well as the Fright Zone for good measure. |

There's a new skeletor head with zodak with scuba gear. It's taken the place of the head with fisto.
Amazon has the next wave if 5 figures for po. M-e-f, trapjaw, scaeglow, roboto, tri klops.

I'll have to do some investigating. Is the Skeletor head the same color as the Fisto one? I had no idea this was coming. And I preordered the new wave you mentioned from Amazon. I got the first Scareglow, so I'm hoping this one is a bit different. I was actually hoping for non-glow in the dark with just white paint, but I get why they're doing it again since he was so hard to find. I'm surprised Roboto is mini-comics Roboto, as we haven't even received his "regular" look yet. I'm sure it's on the way. I guess he matches with mini-comics Tri-Klops here. They did mini-comics Trap Jaw first, too, to my surprise. The line is shaping up nicely. Still a lot of figures to get to, which is going to take longer with all the repaints, but at least we've gotten most of the earlier good and evil Masters. Still need figs like Ram Man, Buzz-Off, Clawful, Webstor, and Whiplash among those. |

I believe the skeletor head is a maroon hood, gold skull, red eyes. For weeks after finally finding the 3 heads I would see them every where. Never looking closely because we had them already.
Went out today, and didn't see a single skull.

I got the Zodac Scubattack Skeletor head today at Target. First time I've seen it anywhere. It really makes for an imaginative little scene, more so than the other three Skeletor heads.  |

The MOTU line lives on! Today they revealed:
Slime pit Skeletor head with Zombie He-Man
Monstroid set that includes Hordak, She-Ra, and minicomic Prince Adam
Landshark set with a Battle Armor Skeletor variant and Roboto with this normal look
AND SNAKE MOUNTAIN IS COMING NEXT YEAR.

Snake Mountain should be amazing. It was a bit hard to tell how it will turn out because of the colored bricks they used for the prototype, but I have little doubt it will come out as good as Castle Grayskull (or better).
The other stuff is cool, too. Monstroid is a bit small maybe, but the figures are A+. Land Shark is always a welcome addition. I would have liked to see another good guy vehicle, like Attak Trak, but maybe it will be released eventually.

Some official images of the Monstroid and Land Shark packs have arrived. I think they look even better than what we saw from the images from Power Con. I just wish Battle Armor Skeletor was more different than his previous release. At least he has the sword this time. toynewsi.com/241-40434 |

The slime pit Skeletor head was up on Amazon for literally about a minute before it went unavailable. I hope this one isn't going to be as difficult to find as I'm nervous it'll be.

I've had good luck with the Skeletor heads in store (Walmart and Target), but not on Amazon. Ive still never seen the Zodac one for less than 20 there. |
