Here are some things I would like to see and think would be great for MEGA's MOTU line:
#1. Currently, the Skeletor heads have had random elements added to go along with the figures being released. Yet for Trapjaw, they looked like enhanced elements for Greyskull's laser turret and computer screen. And that got me thinking about ways that MEGA could further enhance Castle Greyskull. I was wondering if MEGA's considered putting together a Mystic Mirror in one. A Mirror that might fit into Grey Skull on either side of the secret door. There are two voids in this area that would accommodate this, or in the room adjacent to the throne by the hidden door, thus enhancing the game play of the castle.
#2. A "Walkway of Elders Crystal Chamber" play set that's built on a 90 degree pie wedge that could fit into Greyskull when it's opened. Again something that would enhance an item already in existence and expand the Castle Greyskull play set like the Point Dredd does. It would be great if it was designed to support additional elements MEGA might want to create to help expand the castle. Maybe even an additional turret housing the laboratory or sorceress' chambers above it. Figures that could come with it could be a Sorceress variant with Greyskull Man, King Randor, or Orko. Villians could be a Discord Skeletor variant and his blacksmith Spikor.
#3. With all the MOTU villains being released in the line, a Snake Mountain is a must. Yet I hope that MEGA takes an opportunity to get more creative and put their own spin on it a little. ChadFeldpausch had a nice adaptation, but it's safe to say that the Snake will need to be the defining feature, as the the skull is with Greyskull. Future Skeletor Head releases would be awesome if they had elements that might enhance a future Snake Mountain play set, i.e weapons racks, control panels, or creatures that would inhabit the mountain for Beast-Man to use.
#4. With the Wind Raider, Roton, Point Dredd, and Battle Ram addressed. I think the two vehicles needing to be added most would be the Attack Trac and Land Shark. The Land Shark would be very popular, simply because what kid doesn't like sharks, and the Attack Trac would be nice, especially if they went with the boxed 80's cartoon version, that could carry more figures. A new Battle Bones that didn't go for over $200.00 dollars on ebay might be nice as well, for kids who can't go to Comic Cons.
The only criticism I would offer thus far is that you are going through the main character variants so fast, you might not have any options for future play sets. But as I stated in my first response back in Aug of last year. Thanks again for bring this toyline to life.
