These customs look amazing.

If they had made MOTU figures in the 3.75 inch vein, I would hev gotten them.

I can't second that hard enough. I had MOTU guys as a kid, but their lack of articulation was always a bummer. These are so damn awesome. I would have bought the hell out of them back then, and I'd do the same today. Amazing, absolutely beautiful work!

Great reimagining of the character designs!

Great execution.

What if? What if we’d gotten that back in the day? Felt like motu were too big. The classics line looks super cool but I’m just a 1:18 scale guy. As far as I’m concerned, action figures should be 3 and 3/4 (or there about) end of story.

thinking about these today. what if you found a pill bottle (or similar) to slip over ram mans torso ? might give him that barrel profile of the og figure.

So in doing this whole project I was trying to recreate the characters as they were originally. For instance moss man I really wanted the flock . I have ideas for a few more characters but they are a little more challenging to execute. For instance I want to make some of my other favorites like leech and mosquitor. With them I still want the suction cup hands and face . Mosquitor I would want the real liquid blood in chest area. That was always a good thing about motu characters . Some of them had really neat designs and action .
