Figured it was about time we had one of these. I tried to get the ol' lady's grandkids into them so I could play with them too, but they had no interest. I'm regretting buying them, just because now I feel the need to get them all and I really need to stop collecting these new toy lines aimed at adults. The figures are really great though. I'd just wish I would've gone about it a different way. My buddy just got the figs he never got from the vintage line-Scareglow, Ninjor, etc. Now they jacked up the price like $3 on them and started cranking out re-colors. I fell for that enough with the Mega-Construx line.

Re-colors is ususally the death of the line. MotU 200x made the same mistake. At least those were toys aimed at kids, not subscription service pre-order collecting aimed at adults. I never got into Classics either for that reason. They were too expensive for my tastes and although I liked the idea of expanding the range of the vintage MotU line, I never started collecting, also because I sort of phased out of the hobby and into MMO games. This Origins line is too close to the vintage line. And while that's great, it's also bad. If I squint I see the exact same figures in the exact same packaging but with updated articulation and while that's cool and all I see no reason why these should trump my vintage collection and why I should shell out big bucks to import them. Because our toy stores are still crap, we don't see them on the aisles at all so that means paying the middle man, and no clearance deals either. Besides, I collect too much as it is Going into these expensive old-is-new-again replica lines just doesn't wow me. Find me a cheap knock off line of this. That's MUCH more interesting!

I think these are the best figures ever. I hope they eventually release all of the old vintage figures in the new line, I hope they keep it going.

I got a Skeletor on clearance, probably won't be getting anymore (though I was hoping for a Sunman) since my local walmart (which would be the only place to buy such things in probably a 40 mile radius) doesn't stock them anymore.
