Man, those are some sweet figures. But, like Johnny, where am I gonna put these new guys? I just filled up my newest bookcase with my Romandos, some Gundams and Micronauts. Soon my study is going to be nothing but shelves for all these toys!

Nice, but anybody who's seen me bee-eye-itch and moan at He-Man.org knows I can't stand variants.......
oh well....there's enough 'new' to make up for it.........and I can't do much about it right now, because I'm currently banned there........

I have mixed feelings on some of the toys... most of them are awesome, but I think they're starting to slip a bit in some areas.
Repaints/Resculpts: I don't mind new versions of existing figures, as long as they do something interesting with them. The new "version" of Stratos and the ice He-man are jokes... why bother making them? But the cyborg suits and the flaming (not in a gay way) Skeletor look pretty sweet.
Slime Pit: This looks pretty cool, although it's missing the skull that puked the slime on the figures that the vintage version had. But, then again, it comes with an awesome mutant skeletal warrior that can carry slime in his torso... which vastly outweighs the lack of the vintage skull. Very nice...
Buzz-Off: He's still somewhat wimpy looking. Could he be the Mekaneck of the new waves..?
Roboto: Nifty... but compared to current figures with sharp mechanical details, like Man-At-Arms and Mekaneck, Roboto's details just look lacking. It's not up to the Four Horsemen's usual standards, I think.
Man-E-Faces: Very cool, this one is a must-buy for me... although I wonder what the other faces will look like.
Two-Bad: Hm... I'm not sure who sculpted this, but, like Roboto, it really doesn't live up to the usual Four Horsemen work. Check out that horrible light blue half. Ugh. Did the sculpter even try to make it look remotely cool?
Zodac: Awesome, and also a must-buy for me. I love his new look with the removable helmet!
Evil-Lynn: She looks great, but there's not much exciting going on here.
Whiplash: He looks awesome! But, wait a sec... wasn't he supposed to be released last year?!
Thank you, drive through...

Well reason the Skull isn't there, blame Harry Potter, the old Slime Pit was used for that line and relaly did urk seeing it ruined by it.
Still I agree the skull needs to be there but it does resemble a slimepit.
