2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

I'm ok with this version of Lion-O. It'll look great next to the He-Man figure in this line.  But THIS is the version we can all relate to! A quick switch of accessories and we've got a close to spot on ( claw shield not cartoon accurate) O.G. Lion - O! 

There are some action figure purchases that leave you scratching your head. You get it out of the packaging, pose and play with only to realize that it isn't as cool as you thought it was when it initially caught your eye on the pegs or saw it online. Such was not the case with MOTU Origins Skell-Ra!  In part 1 of my Skell-Ra post, I incorrectly referred to this set as being a multipack and it isn't. This falls more under the "deluxe " category. That said, Mattel's Origins line of figures are heavily customizable and because of that they can essentially sell you one action figure, throw in an extra head with accessories and "VOILA!" Now you have a kick ass version of Skeletor and Iconic 80s Thundercats antagonist Mumm- Raa AT THE SAME TIME! I know, crazy right? At any rate, I'm having wayyy too much fun with this line ri...

I was already digging the MOTU Origins line long before the new He-Man movie trailers hit the internets, but I'd be lying if I said the hype wasn't fueling my desire for all things MOTU right now!  Kudos to the creative team behind the artwork and packaging. It's a shame that I don't have the space to keep these decked out boxes! Anybody know of any good MOTU art books?  Unlike the single carded figures that come with comics, these multi-packs come with character cards.
