Mattel MOTU Chronicles Movie Figures

Being MOTUC sized just slimmed down is just about precisely what I'd want for MOTU in domestic 1/12 anyways. I don't mind MOTUC overall, but they're usually just too damn wide to the point of looking hilarious half the time. I imagine these characters to be fairly tall compared to most normal humans and even superheroes, so it works for me. Masterverse was a bit too much of bricks to work, at least for my tastes.
 
Masterverse were just tall enough, and slim-proportioned enough, that they were 100% their own thing. I don't think they really looked good with other 7" lines, and they didn't look good with 6-6.5" lines either. And while I like MOTUC just fine aesthetically, I do think that is also very much its own thing that doesn't gel with other lines.

IF Chronicles is of a size and aesthetic to be like the first MOTU line that can fit in with other similarly-scaled toylines... that's pretty cool, in my opinion.
 
I'm actually less sure about collecting this line based on the size now, because the scale just seems weird to me - it won't fit alongside anything. Which isn't always that important to me, but I did like how DC Multiverse and Masterverse were sort of compatible size-wise. It doesn't seem like these will look good alongside DC Multiverse, NECA, or Black Series - maybe Marvel Legends, since that's a "big 1/12" scale, but I'll have to see, y'know, some actual goddamn photos next to a few Marvel Legends figures to know.

I love how, INVARIABLY, the first people to get action figures are always the literal worst people at showing them off to people. Just a parade of eight-thumbed monkeys that don't know how to use their 2002 Nokia phone camera, value-collectors that don't open their toys, or weirdos with zero concept of (or, I guess, zero interest in) what other collectors are curious about. Just various versions of bragging 'look what I got.'

I suppose it's possible these people just don't have a single Marvel Legends or DC Multiverse figure or something, but I don't know...if you're an action figure collector who's enthusiastic enough to post videos online you probably have one or two of most lines somewhere. I don't even do videos and I do.
