The painted bones here are weak and quite frankly, a deal breaker. What a shame, the rest of the figures in the Classics line were about as pitch-perfect as I could have hoped for. This one was the weak link.

I was a huge fan of the 200X line, besides exclusives I've got pretty much everybody. That said, I've got so much love for the Classics line. I wouldn't say I'm a slave to nostalgia, I like the little tweaks here & there, but overall I really like the approach they're taking - updating the '80s figures with todays articulation - is pretty awesome.

I will never go against the awesomeness of 200X Webstor.

My sorest loss to the Stactions is probably Clawful. He was one of the characters most featured on the toon who didn't make it to an actual figure (although my sentimental favorite would be Stinkor).

Yeah, I think a lot of my reaction to this figure is due to my fatigue regarding on the MOTUC concept. At first, I was totally digging the MOTUC designs. But after buying 7 figures, I've come to the realization that the limitations of staying true to the original figures really hurts the line and makes it seem almost generic. I find myself wishing that they injected more originality to the

Nate, I can understand what you are saying about this being underwhelming in today's society - but the sad fact is, we are not in the time of MOTU 200X any more. Scareglow from that time WOULD have looked like a Harryhausen skeleton instead of this - one of the Cobra Kai come to Eternia. But however it worked out, this is what the majority of the fans want.

It took me until Hordak

I was one of those kids who had alot of the later series MOTU figs. I loved my ScareGlow figure, and just from the pics you provide, I see no reason, other than articulation, that this figure is any better than the vintage one. The head just doesn't look right for one. And your completely right about the basic black paint to give the impression of a skeletal structure. Mattel has the

Yeah, I feel a bit disappointed about Scareglow as well, I'm considering selling mine already, and I just got it yesterday. Ha!

I hope someone customizes one soon w/ a wash or something.
