Filmation line and odd choices.

Detailgate 3.0? I lost count... Has made me think if Super7 partially lost sight of what the lines are meant to be. With Hawke being a bit too Filmationy, one would've thought that she was meant for CG, which would be valid IF we had a 200X Hawke. Then we have Dylamug. He's supposedly going through the Classicized in order to fit better with MOTUC. We'll see about that...
Filmationites are in denial when they say that the Club Grayskull figures are as if the cartoon characters stepped off the TV. They are not.
But here's the thing: I'm not going to bitch and moan over this. Did plenty of times already. I'm going to bitch and moan about the Character selection.

Let's start with Man-E-Faces. 2 appearances on the Cartoon. One less than Mekaneck and HE GETS toy treatment? What about Prince Adam, who is literally a new vest (and if they wanted to cheat, the powercon vest in pink could work) or Stratos to catch up with the too Filmationy for her own good Hawke. Heck, even Ram Man is far more "core" than MEF.
I kinda get why Hordak is there, or Tunglashor... Even if it feels like they are padding with POP. But here's the thing: where is She-Ra? We don't have a TRUE Filmation version of her. We'd need a new sword with a sculpted gem as well. Where's the rebellion?  Or even better, Shadow Weaver...
I understand having left-field choices on CC, but on CG? This line is not meant to be a huge line. It's meant to be a lot smaller and controlled than MOTUC itself. It's meant to redo the more mainstream characters with  Filmation's looks.
