Revisiting the 30th Anniversary characters for New Eternia

 I did a small case for them but was rather sloppy and lazy. Let's fix that.

Fearless Photog:
He'd require new head, torso, crotch, and right forearm. His shoulders, hands and biceps would be from Tri-Klops. His left forearm bracer would be from Trap Jaw. The new right bracer should mimic TJ's left. The feet would be from Movie Skeletor
For accessories a second set of hands, the camera gun and a small blast effect that can be plugged on his face to simulate FP "capturing the enemy".

For his New Eternia story, he could be a treasure hunter who found a cache of ancient technology and got infected with a Technovirus that was turning him into a machine. With the help of a Thenurian Technomancer, the virus was halted before completely consuming the man. After discovering he can transport matter to and from a pocket dimension, the Fearless Photog travels the wasteland banishing the wicked into his Reel Dimension.

Draego Man:
He'd be pretty much everything new. I'd prefer to wait until Masterverse Whiplash happens, so I can see if I can borrow parts. From the get go he's a deluxe figure. I'll use the Skelegod body as a base. New torso, arms and legs, obviously. 
I'd reuse the boots and feet, the bracers with new dragon hands. The torso would be new to accommodate the new wings and dragon tail. A new loincloth might be needed.

For accessories, the wings, extra hands, shield and sword.

Storywise:
 The Ancient being known as Talmadge the Draego-Man was a Human/Dragon hybrid abomination shunned by both Human and Dragon alike. Leading a rebellion against the Dragons, Talmadge was weakened by a Human Paladin who bound a piece of Talmadge's soul to the crimson gem on his armor, weakening the Draego-Man sufficiently to be cursed by the Dragon Lord. Turned to Stone, Talmadge spent eons in darkness until someone with enough strength was able to wear the Cursed Armor of Talmadge without burning to ashes. Talmadge the Draego-Man walks Eternia once again looking for the one who's stopping him from becoming whole once more.

The idea is to make Draego-Man evil, but not Mwahaha evil. My aim is a Mwahaha evol with a tragic backstory. I also link SLL to him because it makes sense knight vs dragon.

Sir Laser Lot:
I mentioned him before, but here we go.
New torso based on He-Ro with the Gem of Talmadge. Using the Battle Armor He-Man Left Pauldron, bracer (that can plug in the new SLL Shield) a new right bracer that mimics the left one, the BAHM tasset and GP He-Man boots with MEF crotch would give us a "New SLL" that can be turned into a close to classic version.

For story:
The first Sir-Laser-Lot was a Paladin, friend of the Dragon Lord who came to his friend's aid when Talmadge the Draego-Man tried to overthrow the Dragon Lord. Using ancient sorcery, this Paladin bound a piece of Talmadge's soul into the Crimson Heart gem on his armor. This binding gave the Paladin new powers, but began burning him from the inside out. With his passing, the armor was hidden away to avoid anyone wearing it, lest they end up turning to ash or awakening Talmadge. Eons later a young man known as Geoff, found the armor and wore it to defend his village from pillagers. Due to his strength of will and noble sacrifice, he was able to fully bond woth the armor and becoming the new Sir Laser Lot. Unfortunately, this awakened the Draego-Man from his slumber.

The idea is to link SLL to Draego-Man and to have SLL be a legacy character where anyone (who survives the curse) can be the hero. There is a nod to his creator being the current SLL.

Spector:
I've already mentioned him as well and suggested a fabric cloak to enhance the design. Most of his body already exists only head, webgear, and left bracer would be needed.
Thinking MEF crotch, Tri-Klops shoulders and biceps, MAA hands, normal legs with TJ Boots.
The left bracer could be based on TJ's but with a plug for the mini key.
For accessories:
Cloak
Extra hands
Mini key
Mini key blade
Gun
Unmasked head (not the Neitlich head)

Story: Ytfenra'antz, current lord of the house of Ra'antz was obsessed with tales of purple specters that haunted his family for ages. He faced the specter and bested him in combat, which caused Zodac to appear before Ytfenra'antz. Turned into a Spector by Zodac, Ytfenra'antz assists the Omnipotent Zodac in keeping Eternia in balance throughout the timelines.

While the name is a nod to your truly the idea of making the time agents be Zodac's deputies is a nice way to keep Spector viable. And no, the Spector that died is not Neitlich. It's a different one. The Neitlich Spector died in the MOTUC timeline. Suggesting me as the new Spector is like the ultimate screw you to Neitlich. Mattel, I'm willing to lend my likeness for the New Eternia Spector for the low price of a free NE Spector...

Cy-Chop:
Blegh! Revelation Beastman legs Roboto torso and crotch with new innards. New head, arms with furry and techno bits. 4 new hands, 2 being the ridiculously big scissors and the other 2 being smaller scissors. Fabric poncho and Horde belt.

For story:
A reanimated corpse by the  Mad Terror Higuchi, Cy-Chop is an undead killing machine. With scissors for hands, Cy-Chop terrorizes the wasteland to do his Master's bidding until he can find a way to free himself by cutting all ties to his Master. 

The idea of an undead Cy-Chop is to not have him needing to eat or drink. The different sized scissors is to reduce the display space required for him. There is a nod to his creator as well.

Castle Grayskull Man:
Another Skelegod sized deluxe creature with mostly new parts. I want to use NE Beastman's loincloth and have the Grayskull flag printed on his crotch. For accessories, his dual swords and shield. Extra hands and an extra head with translucent hair for light piping to make his eyes and mouth glow. 

Story: Castle Grayskull is full of secrets. One of those is the hidden army within the castle. With bodies made out of the same stones as the castle and brought to life using the Dwell of Souls, the Castle uses the souls of fallen invaders and defenders to defend the Castle from other attackers. Whether you are Man, beast, or monster, if you fall within the walls of Grayskull, you become a part of Grayskull. Castle Grayskullman is one of many who have become one with Grayskull and protect its secrets from all attackers.

While these aren't a top priority, they have potential... in 2032 at MOTU's 50th anniversary... and I felt that on my lower back.
