MOTU Origins Sketchbook Series Sy-Klone


I missed out on or ignored the Mattel Creations MOTU Origins Sy-Klone based on the 1985 "heroic fist-flinging tornado", but I might like this Sketchbook Series Sy-Klone better. Mattel put a head resembling the final 1985 version, but I am loving the Flash Gordon vibes of the finned helmet/Cylops visor head! And the metallic torso armor and lenticular chest port really give the presentation some sizzle.


Included with this figure is a yellow helmeted head from another Sy-Klone concept drawing that more closely resembled what became the 1985 Sy-Klone- it doesn't particularly fit, but you could cobble together that other early sketch switching parts out of your Origins collection. The lenticular port in the figure's chest has three angles, rotating the colors round the sonar pulses within.

Roboto and the Ancient Cosmic Astronaut join Sy-Klone defending Castle Grayskull from Hordak, Despera, Hordak and Grizzlor, backed by the dread Horde Revenant just outside the jawbridge...!


Five years running and I am still enjoying the same MOTU Origins line that many incorrectly/prematurely announced the demise/decline of for at least the last three years. Just this week at San Diego Comic-Con, more playsets and figures were announced! If it ended tomorrow, I'd still call it an immensely successful toy line. Recommended!

More Later- Make It FUN!
