I need to campaign for the NA figures every now and then... This may be a bit of a Retread of past rants campaigning for NA but I think this time I need to call for Super7's attention...
The Missing folks I'm talking about are:
-Hoove
-Butthead
-Staghorn
-Lizorr
-Kayo
-Nocturna
-Vizar
-Spinwit
-Artilla
-Sagitar
-MasterSebrian
I often mention that some of them can be made with heavy parts reuse if we can save a bit on tooling...
New molds are the optimal solution, but IF not completely possible, reusing a couple of parts to get our results is the next best thing.
Well, I have to update some of the parts recipes, due to some people pointing some things out that could work as parts... ONCE AGAIN: NEW PARTS ARE BEST CASE SCENARIO. These are a worst case scenario kind of thing.
Kayo:I know, I've done him a LOT OF TIMES.
He's a new head (s), weapons, armor.
His body is the He-Man buck, Hordak abs, Blast attack arms, STONEDAR Loincloth (New suggested part) Geldor Boots. Maybe add a new Head for Hydron WITHOUT the diving gear.
Nocturna:He's a new bandoleer, head(s) and weapons
Normal buck with Hordak Abs (it's mildly better than making a new shirt that could end up too bulky like Hydron or Sea Hawk) The Left thigh of Blade, The Geldor "Knee" with the upper part of the boot. Blast Attak's lower boot . I recall mentioning the Laser He-Man forearms and FILMATION He-Man hands (They are a bit smaller than the NA Hands) Flipshot's loincloth completes the piece.
Spinwit:
Again, head(s), armor, Weapons would be the new pieces. Although a new plug in piece for the Dawg-o-tor armor could work for him in an even worse case scenario...
Normal buck with NA He-Man forearms and FILMATION BEASTMAN hands... (so the hinges have identical articulation) Hordak abs., Trap Jaw lower legs with Sy-Klone loincloth.
Vizar:
Again, head(s), Weapons and armor, and armband are the new parts.
Normal He-Man buck, Blade's left thigh, RIO BLAST'S LEFT FOREARM (You could attach his stealth hook to any of the plugs in Rio's forearm.) RIO BLAST'S LOINCLOTH (While not exactly accurate to the character, since Vizar has a gun the shells on his belt would make sense, and that loincloth makes the legs look like pants) His right forearm would be Oo-larr's.
Sagitar:
He's mostly Tuskador and Ram Man, but he needs a couple of new pieces, namely a new Centaur-esque 4 armed torso, head. New upper Shoulders, new Lower fists, weapons and removable sunglasses to have a nod to the cartoon.
The Arms are basically Ram Man's but the lower body is a repaint of Tuskador.
Artilla:
He requires plenty of new pieces, but some creative parts reuse could make him a less than 100% new tool. New Legs, Torso overlay, head, forearms, new weapons.
The old stuff would be the Horde Trooper Torso, Roboto Shoulders with Twistoid biceps, Rokkon Loincloth, Rio Blast's hands (due to the nature of his weapons those hands fit best) But
in a super mega worst case scenario kind of thing I can take Blast Attak's upper legs and knees with Laser Power He-Man's boots.
Master Sebrian:I recall to have mentioned that he's mostly made out of evil seed and lizard man. Nothing has changed here.
Now for the Mutants:
Lizorr:
Once again, he's a new head, helmet, armor and weapons. In the worst case scenario a Squeeze head with Darius' helmet can work.
The reused parts would be Hssss shoulders, Goatman bracers, Demo-Man hands, Clawful Torso, Kobra Khan Loincloth, Darius' thighs, and Trap Jaw boots with duckfeet, though I would prefer a slightly less accurate, but more unique Saurod shins.
Hoove:
This one is a toughie... But let's see if I can crank up the creative parts reuse muscle on him...
Head would be new, as well as the torso, crotch, helmet and weapon.
I see Multibot's Red Arms. For his legs, we need to get funky! Upper Blue Legs, Bottom Green Legs, Magenta feet from Multibot. Once again, this is a case where he should be as close as 100% new tooling, but this recipe is like a worst case scenario thing.
Butthead:
He's a new head, Helmet, torso armor, weapon.
Roboto Shoulders, Normal biceps, Laser He-Man Forearms and hands
NA Skeletor Thighs and Trap Jaw Lower legs and feet. The extending neck is Mekaneck's shorter neck.
Staghorn:
New Head, weapons and Torso Armor on the Normal buck. The Chunky armor syndrome is welcome here.
Shoulders are MEF, Biceps are Eldor's, Icarius Forearms with Demo-Man hands. For the legs we have Icarius Crotch, Darius Thighs, Trap Jaw Shins with the Batros boot and Trap Jaw feet...
Completing New Adventures without requiring 100% New Tooling on them. Why do I Insist on trying to get the rest of New Adventures? There's a couple of reasons:
-They are part of ACTUAL MOTU LORE THAT HAD A TOYLINE, therefore they DESERVE TO BE IN A MOTU ANTHOLOGY LINE SUCH AS CLASSICS.
-It would be completing what Mattel couldn't or didn't want to do.
-As much as I am not a fan of the Neitlichverse, making the Space Mutants a far away Horde Squad which kinda allows them to bleed into normal MOTU IS a good thing...
I KNOW New Adventures it the 3rd least popular version of MOTU (Son of He-Man and the more fanfictiony parts of the Neitlichverse being the other 2) but we are halfway there and they deserve to get their main roster completed.
DDR Clones, an iteration of DDR itself, Racing Games, Ticket Scam games, Time Crisis 5 is the CLOSEST thing to a decent game *I* could play...
No Street Fighter, No Mortal Kombat, No King of Fighters, No Tekken, no Marvel Vs..., no Darkstalkers, no Soulcalibur, no Virtua Fighter, no Killer Instinct, no Metal Slug, NOT EVEN Ms. Pacman, or Galaga!!
