My heart FLEW when I saw Thundarr The Barbarian. ❤

[@MrHomeArcade]

I didn't really watch the cartoon like that growing up but I recognized him. He does look cool

[@thetribunaloftheimaginatio5247]

@@MrHomeArcade Fun facts about "Thundarr:" not only does it actually predate "He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe" by a few years, it also featured character designs by legendary comic artist Jack Kirby.

[@Nediablo]

​@@MrHomeArcade it's really worth a watch! The plot is awesome. The music is OTT and the designs?! Like the comment above me said, Jack. Kirby. All you need to know!

[@woolyrhino640]

Would love to see a custom motu of Ookla the Mok.

The black character is Melaktha, the royal Archeologist in the Filmation cartoon

[@MrHomeArcade]

Thank you brotha 🙏

[@astonmartin5332]

Thanks for taking us for the ride

[@TheDarksideCry]

So many figures, so many beautiful customs, and a lot of heads, I must say. It always makes me happy to see so many artists dedicated to always creating new things for Motu. It would be cool to see some customized Motu-style Sectaurs figures sometime.

[@MrHomeArcade]

I'll definitely have to look into it to see what I can do. That would be cool 🤔

[@TheDarksideCry]

@@MrHomeArcade I say this because by now you have so many customized characters, so one of the Sectaurs would fit well in the collection, with those big eyes and insect-like antennas. I really liked them when I was a child, and then their mounts were fantastic that you could put your hand inside them and make them move like a puppet. 🕷️🐝🦂

[@MrHomeArcade]

@@TheDarksideCry I had a few growing up n definitely liked that action feature ❤️! I definitely think they'd mix well with motu

[@TheDarksideCry]

@@MrHomeArcade I had a couple of them. I had the leader of the good guys but the version with the silver body and the insect that attached to his back to fly, then I had the guy with the red mustache with the battle axe and the heavy shield who rode the insect with the big pincers . I would have liked to have a couple of bad guys to fight too but they were rare and expensive toys, even for those years.

[@padron7089]

That horseshoe mustashe is on point!!! Great customs as always 👍

[@MrHomeArcade]

Thanks brotha 🙏 ❤! Much appreciated

I was there! No wonder i couldnt find any cheap MOTU you got it all before me!🤣

Nice haul, especially Granamyr and Melaktha! I am a bookworm, so both those old dudes are favorites. I have hoped for Melaktha since the line started. Mattel does what it can. The mask works. Got to promote! 🤑

[@MrHomeArcade]

Well, brotha, I look forward to seeing you then! I'm trying to get there early

[@mainelyretro]

I always enjoy conventions. Awesome pickups. That Granamyr is badass. I would love to see Mattel do Tytus and Megator. Some shadow beasts to, they were in the early filmation cartoon.

[@MrHomeArcade]

It's funny you mentioned that cause I ordered 2 shadow beasts last week from the classics line. I think they will work perfectly with origins scale wise

[@noelgaribay2215]

Nice come up bro looks like you got some good finds congrats

[@MrHomeArcade]

It was definitely a good trip. I'd go back next year but I got 2 more toy cons ima go to this year

[@jigenprime6613]

That Thundarr the Barbarian is the one!..👍🏾

He does look good 💯

[@265308]

Damn 40 bucks for Real Ghostbuster playset vintage n the caddy was a steal. damn bet U could make an Aerial custom using Evil Lynn to compliment Thundarr da Barbarian.

That's a great idea right there. I'll try to look into it 💯
