Mattel Kids/Core MOTU Movie Line and Products

Castle Grayskull/Snake Mountain went up for PO at Walmart. Once again succumbing to my toxic trait, I POed something I have no space for. But I think they'll make nice little display facades for the Chronicles figures. And the sword altar might look cool with the Chronicles scale too. Not holding my breath for the bone throne though.
 
Ooooohhhh.....wave 4 looks pretty good, especially Teela whose face looks 100% better this time around. Too bad she had that hairstyle for just a few seconds in the movie, but I will definitely hold out for this one.

Ram Man and Tri Klops both look great too. Look at the range of options you can get Tri Klops holing that gun. On a $10 figure. There are $30 Marvel Legends that can't do that. This line.......man......


I keep going back and forth over going "all in" on the kids' line or Chronicles. The appeal for the kids' line is the price and the fact that they scale with the vintage stuff (by that I mean I can easily display them with my vintage Castle Grayskull). But, there are some "misses", for the kids' line, IMO. Beast Man is a bit "meh". Now that I think about it, being that he's so tall in the movie, could the Chronicles Beast Man be fudged into this line? I also don't know how deep we will get with the kids' line before it's done. If I go in on this, I'd want Trap Jaw and Evil Lynn for sure, maybe Fisto and Sorceress too. Decisions.
 
While I'm sure it's less screen accurate because of this, I actually think the Core Trike looks BETTER than the Chronicles one because it doesn't have that hideous and way too real world military patterning on the pants.
