The Degraded Classics Variant Sub passed...

No big celebration or announcing that it went Way above their goals like past subs during the Reign of SuperKamiToyguru or the Collector's Choice sub from the Post-Neitlich era.

Classics 2.0 is happening! We’re stoked to produce these awesome figures. Thanks to all the fans for making this happen! ‪#‎CollectorsAreKing‬ ‪#‎MOTU‬

That's it... That's all that Mattel delivered as their message.
This message is so... Spartan and very unlike the past messages from Skeletor's Love Child...
It almost gives some credibility to the rumor that she has left the MOTUC Team.

Now, It's NOT A SECRET that I dislike this sub-line, due to the reduced details and making them Not accurate to Either Classics or Filmation.
Yes it grinds my gears when people say that THOSE FIGURES ARE FILMATION ACCURATE...
THEY ARE NOT. (Body proportions are a bit off, Loincloths are not furry briefs, Figures are slightly more detailed than their cartoon looks.) They don't work with Classics because they're a bit TOO Underdetailed to fit with Standard Classics figures.

I've gone on multiple times on why they chose poorly... Today I found this little post made by Neitlich...

Even Neitlich is against that sub...

 He did not bite the bullet on this Sub. I have to wonder if it was due to the lack of detail on the figures.
I mean, what's the point of having NEW Versions of past characters that could fit in with past Classics Figures, like say:
A He-Man that can fit in with the Eternos Palace Randor, Battle Ram MAA, (the ugly) Point Dread Teela, Sorceress, Orko, Shadow Beast, Adam, Adora, Sea Hawk, Shadow Weaver, Blue Hordak, Catra, Plundor, Nepthu, Strongor, Fangman, Icer, Batros, General Sunder, Vultak, Queen Marlena, Kowl, Loo-Kee, should I go on?

I know this seems like beating a dead horse, but it happens.  We simply bought ONE more year of time for MOTU... One more year where the bosses keep shuffling about (remember that Guru left and apparently so did Skeletor's Love Child... and her 9 bosses). We have seen the  decrease in Quality Control, heck! It's gotten so bad that Mattel HAD to delay figures... The movie is STILL on Limbo and Mattel doesn't really want to invest in a full MOTU revival. This degraded sub-line will be an even bigger failure in Mattel's eyes if it fails next year... Classics has the fortune of 8 years on its belt, so Failing year 9 is not such a big of a failure (Completing 2 out of 3 Vintage Toylines + tens of new characters/variants in Action Figure form with Little Real promoting from the company.) Classics has Grayskull, Point Dread, and the idea of the line ending WITH a Snake Mountain as the final item still makes the line a huge winner. This degraded Sub-line would be a colossal failure in Mattel's eyes if it ends in 7 figures...Even if it's Mattel's fault, they'll paint it as a failure on the customers' part and claim that there really is no real interest in Masters of the Universe. I'm afraid that this stylistic departure may bite us in the ass...
