that would be awesome, but no... I just wasn't exactly sure what they were called...

digging a little deeper into google they are called Skelcon or Skelecons.

I had to rewatch the trailer after you listed that name :lol:

. I thought I missed a nod or homage somewhere. Although that would be one crossover that would work really well with MOTU.

Wouldnt mind an origins/masterverse verion of the skeleton mutant that came with 200X slime pitt

It may not be practical, but as Combiners are my favorite part of Transformers, I think the Skeleton Mutant would be cool, also perhaps a way to combine several of them into a larger version (as seen in one of the 200X episodes) would be awesome as well. Maybe Mattel can borrow some of hasbro's fossilizer concepts :lol:

Technically NA had combiners…

The Gleanons and The Mytes. They were one of NA’s stranger concepts.

Modulok and multibot beat them to it. Modulok was always pretty freaky, I liked how he mailed his parts to get inside the palace? in the mini comics. Though I've never seen an eternian mailman figure (yet...). Shame Modulok didnt get a 200X figure

Good old Modulok. The first 'WTF' to many kids of the 80's.

I liked Modulok, never really considered him a combiner, more of a parts-former :lol:

. My first memory was being disappointed in that, when the Evil Horde were first teased HE was one of the 5 black silhouettes (unfortunately i cant find that commercial). But the Horde then started out with only 4, and Modulok came shortly after...Also the narrator sounds familiar

Never got Multi-Bot though...back when I was a kid, if I had known 1987 was going to be the last year for that line, I would have collected more of those toys (I had everything from 82-86, and in 87 11 year old me...just wasn't as into it for some reason)

Indeed. Whereas the Gleanons and Mytes do combine. They are tiny people that fight by stacking on top of each other (usually in fours) like draughts/checkers. I tried to find a gif for it. But not many exist for NA, beyond He-Man and Skeletor. NA threw a lot of weird ideas out there. I'll show some of the concept art for the unreleased figures another time.

As noted earlier, He-Man New Adventures: the unproduced, weird and wacky:

(Yes, that is Skeletor 3.0)

Kickor vs Sluggor

Battlebeard vs "opponent"

Battle women (possible new/concept figures for Crita and Mara)

Sledor vs Rocket Legs

Chaos Ram

Flying Machines

Monster Mouth Arena

3 Fuselage Spinmaster

Now some of these were early concepts that became other characters. Some, like the glorious redesign for Skeletor, sadly never materialised. Visually, NA remains very unique within the larger MOTU mythos.

I don't find this particularly encouraging? :-?

News Credits: 19 · by **blackeyedprime** » Sat Jun 19, 2021 1:27 pm

I watched the trailer and Mark Hamils lazy ass re use the Joker voice for every character was already dull the fifth time around but especially for skeletor. Not to mention all the non talents like Kevin Smiths daughter that will be voicing eeeeeew.

I'm waiting for the other toon despite this being very 200X looks wise.

Weird they got Oppenheimer for Moss-Man though. Granted, he is in his 90's. But if this is supposed to be a "spiritual successor", surely someone a bit closer to Filmation Skeletor's voice would be more appropriate?

The line about how the "Revelation" refers to Teela's journey, seems a bit off as well. Who watches MOTU for Teela???

The Target Keldor and Kronis 2 pack is available online for $30. Also the Sky Sled Prince Adam set is only $12.89 through tomorrow as part of Deal Days.

Picked up both, this'll be my second sky sled (only paid $21 for the first one) so I can swap the parts.

I actually saw the Keldor/Kronis 2-pack in my local Target this past weekend, they had 3 of them, it looked pretty cool actually. I just wonder why... If it comes with an alternate Skeletor head for Keldor, why didn't they include a Trap-Jaw head for Kronis?

Think I'll wait to see Targets pricing on that with it being exclusive to them stateside. Nice that its available here tho.

Not sure which base pieces link up to it, to add on to Grayskull but seems worth it for the price. The powercon grayskull acc pack is gonna to cause a huge dent later down the line at some point too.

Weirdly enough, I checked Target for a US price. It wasn't there... :-?

their website seems poop for searching. shame they didnt continue with the UK shipping partner they had before (even if it was selective items). Amazon Prime days smelled and I missed out on the botropolis set from Amazon.com
