Glad these are easier to get (or seemingly easier to get) then when the WWE MOTU figures were released. Though i did get them from a reseller on walmart and then immediatley after they were available from BBTS for like $10 less but oh well. I really like these figures and am liking a lot of the accessories and can't wait to mix and match them with my MOTU origins and WWE motu figures as well.

I actually really love the mutated heroes. I wish He-Man had gotten a mutated looking sword rather than the spiky club, but that's a small complaint. I love the fact that there is a storyline, and obviously they are going to turn the heroes back to the side of good. So I really hope that we will be getting heroic turtle style versions of the mutated heroes as well. I think a He-Man with turtle armor would be amazing. Ram-Man is my favorite, so far, and I want a turtle armor heroic Ram-Man.

Artist Freddie Williams made the Batman/TMNT crossovers, as well as MotU/Thundercats and MotU/Injustice. There was a project for DC to publish a MotU/TMNT miniseries but it fell through, so Mattel called him to be the minicomic artist for this collection.

I've been a fan of He-Man since the 5th grade. while it may not be as long a time as how long you have been, I share the enthusiasm and interest. and I admittedly do slightly favor the Turtles, but that's simply because I've known the Turtles since I was 3, and I've known He-Man since I was 11. I was hyped for the comic that didnt make it, but what's great is Freddie E. Williams II, the artist for that comic, is the artist for these minicomics! and it means a lot to me that Mattel's making a story out of this, not just because I'd like to adapt it, but mostly because that's how this whole thing should've gone. and what's great is they included my favorite artist: Freddie. I've been waiting for this toyline, and while I wish it was like Super high quality (yknow like something in between the Masterverse range and the Hot Toys if they were 1/12 scale range) it is perfect. It'll go along well with the MOTU Origins figures I already have, and will look even better with my future MOTU Origins figures. so Thank You Mattel for making these figures, and Thank you Pixel Dan for reviewing them also YOU'RE RIGHT I MEAN I GET COPYRIGHTING BUT IT WAS SUCH A MISSED OPPORTUNITY HIS NAME WOULD BE MUCH BETTER AS MOUSE-TRAP. IDC WHAT HE'S PACKAGED AS, THAT'S WHAT I'M CALLING HIM!

I love the packaging. My only issue is nickelodeon's penchant for adding their name to things airing on their network. The TMNT logo just doesn't look right with the network name looming over it. Also a little disappointed that Mikey is just Battle Armor He-Man when Leo was already the He-Man stand in for the story. With so many other characters to choose from it feels lazy. I already have wave 1 except for Krang and the core figures of wave 2 are on their way to me from Entertainment Earth. I'm most excited for Ram Man I just love his mutated form.

Personally, i am a big fan of the Mutant He-Man design because they went the extra mile with details like the new armor & headsculpt, bigger arms and the spiked bracelets and belt. Mattel could've just said "Let's make a purple repaint of He-Man!" so he falls in line with the rest of Evil He-Men (Faker, Anti-Eternia, Slime Pit, etc), but thankfully they didn't. Besides him, the figure i want the most is Sla'ker. He looks so cool!

I wonder if _one_ of the Turtles in a forthcoming wave will include the shell peg hole on back? Due to the modular nature you could then have a more typical Turtle, of course you would need to buy multiple of that one in order to then build the four Turtles all in their basic form, with shells. But could be possible. These do look fun, the Mouse Jaw especially, pretty good look
