Tired of all the retro brands getting old school beat-em ups? Too bad, because He-Man is getting one too!

Kind of looks like they might be eyeing a "Golden Ax" vibe rather than the Konami/Streets of Rage/Final Fight vibe most of the others have been leaning to.

Okay I figured the next Decepticon would be Starscream or Soundwave but I didn't see Scareglow coming.
I don't really want to see a whole ongoing line of these (Turtles of Grayskull outstayed its welcome I think) but Skeletor looks so good it's stupid. I hope we at least get Teela and Evil Lyn.
The He-Man/Optimus design doesn't sing to me like Skeletor/Megs does, but they can't all be winners. Some of them just have to be Who Cares, I'll Buy It Anyway

Considering MOTU has never had a decent game (I never got to play the GBA one so I may be wrong), I'll take it.Tired of all the retro brands getting old school beat-em ups? Too bad, because He-Man is getting one too!

So far, I think all their self-published games (i.e. not a physical version of someone else's current release) have had digital releases.
There were (just like with TF) a few mobile games (an idle tapper and a card game), which looked great but played like a dog (like all the TF mobile games).
I've always been surprised MOTU never got an NES game, especially since a movie was coming out in '87.
Not sure if this goes here or in the Thundercats thread, seeing as it's a Crossover, but...
"I call it, the SubstiTank!"
And this new Skel-Ra/Mumm-Ra will work perfectly with the glow in the dark Super7 mummy one I already have.

LionO: "You've got a tiger by the tail... Hold on... TigerSHARKS."
-ZacWilliam, I'd give MoTU so much money if they'd pretend to know what Silverhawks and Tigersharks are for long enough to do figures...

Question:
I ordered a MotUxTurtles King Hiss off ebay.
It's supposed to arrive between tomorrow and the 28th. I very rarely use ebay but it's where I found him cheapest. The seller still hasn't updated with a tracking number or anything but there's still a week in its delivery window. Do I just wait and see if it comes? Or do I send the guy a message to check in?
-ZacWilliam, again don't do ebay much. Thoughts?

The game looks fun.
I'd check the sellers shipping window, and a day or so after, just ask if you can get a tracking number. Remember eBay sellers are sometimes just people with real jobs they have to do letting things go trying to make ends meet shipping during their lunch break. I know, it's also why I no longer have the TFSS combiners I liked before the last medical messes. But if it doesn't show and there's no shipping info showing it delayed but eh route, that's a red flag and you can get refunded if you have to.
Dude, Silverhawks would go PERFECTLY with New Adventures characters
Just a heads up, The glow-in-the-dark Necroconda Snake Man is on Sale for $14.99 at Walmart.com right now. (Down from $32)
-ZacWilliam, trying to gather the pieces for a passable King Hiss as I don't want to pay what the Origin one is going for now.

I have one of them, I never actually liked the original King Hiss, so I use Necro-Conda as Teela's 'ghost patron' when she has the snake staff and armor on. For a better modern King Hiss for my own shelf I prefer Vypor.
Weird thing, the Necro-Conda's weapons don't glow in the dark, even though his armor does. I have wondered if there was a production error, since they clearly used the same plastic colors, the weapons just didn't get the glow additive.

Another thread I can dive into here. I also was not a MOTU kid; until relatively recently it was just internet osmosis, Skeletor memes, conversations with a friend a few years older than I am who was a MOTU kid and is still a fan as an adult, and the live-action Dolph Lundgren movie having a high spot on my "best B movies" list.
Last year I picked up a loose Origins Skeletor to add to my Halloween stuff.
Then earlier this summer the Youtubes routed me to Skeletor's Best Insults (ah, the things you could get away with saying as a cartoon character in the 80s), and I binged a few episodes of the Filmation series just for the cheese factor. And Cthulhu help me, I rabbit holed. An evil overlord has to have a minion or two, and someone to fight, right? Not going completionist or vintage, but thanks mostly to a couple different local comic shops, my current desk fight had gotten up to a 4v4.
Capsule thoughts on the collecion so far:
Skeletor - c'mon, what is there to say except I like the memes, dammit. Iconic for a reason, even if his toy is about as basic as it gets. I think this is the wave 1 figure, since he's got no alternate hands, and just the half sword and staff for accessories. But it's enough, nyeh!
Horde Trooper - fantastic retro robot man and I severely wish his other colors weren't so hard to find for reasonable prices. The red Prime from last year looked fantastic. Almost makes me want Trapjaw parts to give him a gun arm. And the torso-exploding gimmick works really well.
Beast Man - the choice of blue eyeshadow and underwear is certainly...a thing, with his color scheme on the toy-accurate version, but I needed a henchman! No problems with the rubber arm guards, and while the whip isn't poseable its shoelace-like nature at least lets it not hang totally limp.
Necraconda - this was an awesome find at MSRP. I don't give two flips about the snakemen characters, but I think he just looks the coolest out of them. The metallic blue-green + GITD color scheme is impressive as hell (and gives me PacRim kaiju vibes), and the snake tail is way more stable than I thought it would be.
Battle Armor He-Man - had to get a Man of He, after all. The rotating drum for the damage effect is neat, and at least he's got some armor on. I know Eternia normally operates on Frazetta Rules, but still! Poses good with all his weapons, extra head, the big effect for the sword is a little heavy for the wrists but works well enough.
Cartoon Orko - cartoon accuracy is a wash; wish he had the older version's flight stand though, 'cause it let him tilt and lean, and maybe a magic zap piece instead of his uncle's beard. The 'HERO' medal is cute, and I'm glad the reverse has detail so you can display that side out.
Sorceress - I snagged her for cheap just to check out the female buck; not bad! I didnt realize how much the headdress gets in the way of the neck, but the birdy cape works well enough and a staff is fine enough of an item for the basic toy. She's perfectly functional, and one more for team good guys.
Concept Art Syclone - was a rando Target find in an otherwise demolished toy section. I know zip about this guy, but the retro spaceman aesthetic the concept art version has going on is really my jam. And while it does lack the effect parts and whatnot, he does have a post-Blue-Man-group head option.
And I say had gotten up to a 4v4, because a local comic shop had MOTU crossover Lion-O on the shelf. I've been keeping an eye on the Thundercats mashup because they were my other childhood character-driven cartoon, and this is the first time I've seen any of the figures in the wild. He's pretty spiffy! The dude buck is the same as it always is, but I really like the Cats of Eternia look with the lion shoulderpad and barbarian gear; and having the parts for the classic appearance is never a bad option. The sword came out a little banana'ed because of how the bubble is shaped, but hot water treatment took care of that, and I appreciate that Lion-O can more or less do The Pose (unlike the various He-Men thus far). The comic is what it is, but if the art's close to the actual toys' appearance Panthro's armor is gonna be pretty wild.
