    When are these figures set for release?

    I never really got into the 2002 lineup.

    Grayskull was an SDCC/Matty Exclusive, now only available through eBay. The actual line will begin in September, and every month a new figure will be released through Mattycollector.com.

    Now that would be awesome. And it would give my son something to play with while he's watching the show.

    Guess there's no pictures of Skeletor yet eh? He's the only one I'd be interested in.

    I like the 2000 skeletor better. I'll probably switch heads. {they could have at least tried to make it look more like the 80's cartoon head like they did with he-man

    You can pretty much guess what every classic character is going to look like with this line, so there are very few surprises with the new reveals, IMO.

    Will these figures be in the 6 inch scale? If I recall the 2002 were slightly under the 6 inch scale - shorter than ML.

    Yes, over at he-man.org ,Toy guru, the official rep from Mattel has confirmed all of this line will be in a 6" scale.

    Thanks, dude! I will be getting this line then! I hope that in terms of vehicles or animals, we will at least get Battle Cat and Panthor!

    Pass.

    If they just did more articulated versions of the 2002 MOTU line, they'd have me sold on quite a few. Otherwise, a waste of my time. The Skeletor from the 2002 line was SO sweet, head and all... this one? Not so much. He should at least be scowling.

    I actually don't like the 2002 line at all--what with the small heads and weird postures. I would say something about proportions, but I like the proportions on the original figures that I had as a kid, and I don't want to come off as a hypocrite :) 

    The new ones I dig. I will probably get He-Man, Skeletor, and Man-E-Faces, if he gets released. Maybe Merman, too. . .

    It's an interesting idea to see the 80's look done with modern sculpting but I still prefer 4Horsemen's redesigned figures. These are just too retro for me. Perhaps if they do a guy that works well with that more generic "He-Man" body I may bite, till then I still have more of the 4HM statue/figures to get.

    Man, I can't wait for these guys to come out. This line will get all my money when Universe goes on hiatus.

    It's too bad that Skeletor was pushed back til' January. Could've saved on the shipping with He-Man and Beast Man.
