Ugly fake vintage New MOTU is what killed Classics.

After we get Snake Mountain, there will be no more MOTUC... or so it seems. Mattel revealed a new MOTU SDCC exclusive.

Faux vintage figures with added elbow articulation, interchangeable heads and hands.

People like them and I don't get it. They look even more bootleggy than Super7's faux vintage. The added articulation looks awful. The interchangeable hands and added articulation  break the vintage aesthetic.

This is what Mattel doesn't get. If you want to emulate the vintage style you must go all the way, not go half modern, half vintage... especially when doing the tous on vintage scale... if this is Mattel's new direction, I'm sticking to Marvel Legends.

It's obvious that these (if the rumor is true) will be Mattel's MAIN MOTU toyline until the movie. Seeing they have no interest in MOTUC (as seen with the death of Matty) we can pretty much assume that MOTUC is dead.
