So, let's say you found a magic lamp, you rub some dirt and a genie appears. He can grant you not three wishes, not four wishes, but five wishes. The caveat is that the wishes can only be used to fix the problems of five produced MotUC characters. Which 5 would you choose?

Goat Man's fat armor
NA Skeletor's shoulders and fat armor (I'd make his chest a unique sculpt)
Goddess hips
Sorceress wing drums
Roboto's shoulders/cracking chestLast edited by Battle Ram Man; 05-23-2014, 09:45 PM.

Sorry for the major off-topic, but since it wouldn't do nothing for me - there are more than five flawed figures that would still prevent me from having a complete collection - I would ask for this:
1. I would ask for Mattel to concede the rights for a true MOTU adult collector line to a more competent and caring company.
2. I would ask that the Four Horsemen could handle the whole design process for said line.
3. I would ask for an art director to supervise the whole line, that person would be Emiliano Santalucia.
4. I would ask for the banishing of all the Mighty Spector figures from the face of the earth.
5. I would ask for Scott Neitlich to get back to the hole from where he came from... and never to have anything to do with MOTU again.“Freedom of speech doesn't protect speech that you like, freedom of speech protects speech that you hate." ― Ron Jeremy

Hordak's belly armor/ painted shirt (thus retroactively fixing the problem for He-Ro and the rest!)
Who ever first suffered from Fat Armor syndrome for the same reason above.
He-Man's reversed shoulders (see where I'm going with this)
Brittle plastic (Goddess)
King Grayskull cloth cape
I'm having a hard time even thinking of a flaw that only effects a single figure...
Sorceress' wings/cape
Goddess Blast Attak pelvis
Glimer's height
She-Ra should have been a single figure...
Two-Bad uneven legs, open hands (Knucler as a 3rd weapon) heads further apart and shield with handle instead of that useless clip.

Roboto cracking
King Hssss' awful waist design
Goddess cracking

Sorceress- new wings and spell casting hand
Yellow Evil Lyn- individuel clothing and spell casting hand
Dragonblaster Skeletor- articulated Dragon with open mouth
Jitzu- head more vintage
Stinkor- correct arms and missing paint on shield
The Rock Warriors-everything

I think the flaws with the Rock Warriors are most noticeable when you compare the mass produced figures to the prototypes:
- the rock parts are too big and while they do work when in rock mode they really look bad when in action figure mode.
- the position of the connectors for the rock parts is awful, instead of engineering the piece as the 4HM intended they went the lazy route, they should've maintained the thigh bands.
Besides that, I do think that whenever a vintage MOTU character has a specific sculpt part it should always be a newly sculpt. That means that the figures shouldn't re-use the trap-jaw legs for instance.
I'll tell you this, the Rock Warriors were the figures that convinced me to give up collecting MOTUC. It was the moment when I sensed they were going to go cheap whenever they could and look what happened... sadly I was right.Last edited by barrasco; 05-26-2014, 10:33 AM.

Green Goddess - non explosive crotch + the tunic would be mini-comic accurate.
Roboto - less crackable torso + both hands would be removable
Octavia - less pizza skirt, more Marlena leotard + improved tentacles.
Rio blast - better engineering on the armor and chaps + interchangeable hands that aren't just open
Failmation Hordak - both arms interchangeable + filmation head and bone collar. The imp and staff would be planned for a later weapons pack.
Bonus
BG Evil Lyn - new tunic
Sorceress - better engineeringLast edited by Andy; 01-08-2015, 07:47 PM.“Collective fear stimulates herd instinct, and tends to produce ferocity toward those who are not regarded as members of the herd.” ~Bertrand Russell

Battleground Evil-Lyn - She would have her 200X outfit on her torso, like we asked for.
Frosta - She would have a Filmation head, have her back painted, replace gray with brilliant white, make her gloves positioned correctly and come with a less clunky staff.
Failmation Hordak - Give him his Filmation head and correct body armor and cowl.
NA Skeletor - New torso altogether. No armor at all!
Hydron - No fat armor and alternate unhelmeted head.

Remember when I posted the list of flaws over at the Org and was attacked and belittled? Ahhhh, memories.
1. Fat flesh/armor on NA Skeletor
2. Double Trouble Double Chin and derp face.
3. ALL Granny panties reversed.
4. Rio Blast - everything - just a real missed opportunity.
5. Stondar and Rokkon - spend more money and make them look like their prototypes.
I left out all the quality control and design flaws - which are many and tried to concentrate on aesthetics.
