I doubt it, unfortunately. MOTUC is selling like hot cakes on the website, but selling at retail is an entirely different animal. The website distribution probably frees Mattel from worrying about large production numbers, case assortments, and retailer interest. I think retailers are still a little shy of MOTU after they had trouble selling the 200x line. So, I suppose it's possible

Is there any chances these toys will be sold on the Public Market or not?

I think they'll hold up well under play. They seem to have the same level of quality as the Mattel DC Universe figures. However, the packaging specifically says "Adult Collector" and Matty Collector claims that you have to be 18 or older to buy the figures. I'm not sure what that means; maybe the figures haven't been through the quality control processes that would make a toy safe for kids, so

i'm glad that they've decided to remake this line. these were my faves when i was a kid. i've still got my castle greyskull and snake mountain sets. they are heavily beatdown though. which brings me to my question. you said in your review that they're solidly constructed. do you think they'll hold up under play, or are they more likely meant as a collectible and shouldn't be overly played

Yeah, I hope they do some of the more obscure characters, too. Scareglow would be totally awesome! I would also like to get a Stinkor... he would be a straight repaint of Mer-Man, so he would be perfect for an exclusive.

Maybe the neck looks that way because of the way the head was sculpted. I think the only figures that would use the same body are Stratos and MossMan, and I believe Zodac used the same chest as beastman, but I can't recall.

This series does seem to have a nice balance of articulation. I'm glad they didn't go Marvel Legends on us, as if the articulation is poorly sculpted it can ruin

I'm glad you liked the review, dude!

The joints were tight, but you don't have to "snap" them to get them to move like you do with the Street Fighter figures. My Beast Man has some leg joints that are a little bit loose, but they don't adversely affect the figure.

Beast Man's head actually looks even stranger without the chest armor. The neck is scrawny and sort of cranes

Wow! Very impressive figures. I like the ab crunch on these, but most articulation seems to blend in very well. I'm still not to keen on the tiny hands....well they look tiny to me. But the removable armor is just a great bonus. That was one of my favorite things to do when I was a kid was to switch everyone's armor around...since they just about all fit each other.

How cooperative
