Yes i would love to see Huntara. I love that comic pic i've never seen that before.
I was flabbergasted that Huntara didn't have her own thread!
She was such a cool character, heavily featured in a very action packed episode. Unfortunately, she was only in one episode, because what was to be the follow up, "The Silaxian Wars" was deemed too violent.
She would fit in very well with MOTUC, and would be a great member of the rebellion. She physically took on She-ra....We need more female bounty hunters!
I have always wanted a figure of her since I first saw her in that episode.
What say all of ye?

Yes i would love to see Huntara. I love that comic pic i've never seen that before.
As a child I didn't understand why there wasn't a Huntara figure. She was awesome! One of the few characters who could almost best She-ra. I'd love to see her for sure!
Absolutely, but only if they run her through the "Classics" machine. Of course, I think her costume would look pretty cool already, but a little additional detail would be nice.
Yes Please!
Top wants: 3 main Twiggets, Red Knight, Granita, Hunga the Harpy, Dylamug, Vultak, Enchantress, Kothos, General Tataran, Evil Seed (Filmation), Masque, Sybiline (pack-in Gorgon), Melaktha, Despara, toy Catra, Master Sebrian, Andros, Sorceress NA comic, Kex Queen, Lodar, Green trap Jaw, Pink tri-Klops, pale monkey feet Stratos, Orange Ram man, Pale Man e Faces
She has a TON of potential in this line. The fact that she's from another planet/galaxy means she could be from the Tri-Solar System.
That would be stretching things a bit, but it might be cool.
She has the potential to be a sure-fire hit with every kind of collector. I think even Eamon would like her!!
A Want List: Starburst She-Ra, Ghost, Mini Comic Tri-Klops, Mini-Comic/Vintage Toy costume Catra, Kayo, Joya, Storm, Twiggets, Melaktha, Sagitar, Spirit, Kothos, Master Sebrian, The Enchantress, Weapons Paks, Fuerza T figures, 200X Sorceress, King Miro, Dree-Elle & Uncle Montork.
Filmation Variants: She-Ra, Bow, Mantenna, Leech, Entrapta, Grizzlor, Prince Adam, Glimmer, Adora
yes! she would be a very cool fig
the King needs his Queen and pet! Queen Veena and Battle Lion for MOTUC!
For the Love of Illumina & her Cat Sleetah!!
my Feedback http://www.he-man.org/forums/boards/...d.php?t=205099
my sale page http://www.he-man.org/forums/boards/...d.php?t=205041
I think she would look amazing and I would love her in the MOTUC line.
I like her the way she looks in the toon but if the 4HM did decide to pay homage to her original model sheet and give us a 'ebony' version of her (Grace Jones-esk) I would be happy too.
1. Starburst She-ra (vintage toy variant)
2. Hunga the Harpy
3. Gold God Skeletor (movie skeletor)
4. 200X Evil-Lyn
5. Lady Slither
Just like Sea Hawk, a Huntara figure is a POP character just begging to be made.
I know her skin colour was originally intended to be black, but I think I'd prefer the purpley/pink scheme from the 'toon for the toy. Basically because that's the one I am familiar with.
chikarapro.com Loco Lucha Libre!!!
I'm normally not a supporter of using the Filmation license for one-and-done episode figures, but for Huntara I would make an exception. I think she would make a great action figure and extremely interesting bio. Regarding the comic, where is that from?
Due to her skin tone, they may even make her Gar.
JITSU!!!! Thank the Elder Gods!!!!
DeviantART - http://super-munkyboy.deviantart.com
Commissions - [TBA]
I say: Definitely! Grace Jo...I mean Huntara would be an excellent addition to the line.
YES ! Huntara is a Filmation character we MUST get ! There are 20 Filmation characters or so that I really want, and Huntara is part of them !
It will be such a difficult time to wait patiently in order to learn WHO will be the last 2 Filmation characters for 2012...
She must be a little taller than the rest of the common figures.
My #1 Filmation want!
If they do make her. They probably would use the Battle Ground Teela buck. giver her a new head, boots, fore arms, and tops and skirt pieces. Oh and weapons of course.
"I mark the hours every one, Nor have I yet outrun the Sun. My use & value unto you, are gauged by what you have to do."
Enscribed onto Hermione Granger's Time Turner from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
She's definitely up there on my most wanted Filmation characters list! Grace Jo...er.. Huntara for MOTUC!
Vintage New Adventures deserves to be finished!
MOTUC Top Ten Super 7 wants: KAYO, Hoove, Drissi, Crystoll, Chef Allen, any Catra variant, Nocturna, Red Knight, Clawdeen (flocked), Spinwit
Great .org transactions: sdilks, Man-E-Toys, bigassbuzz x2, Climan, wolvie3579, air23cnhit, Jestermon, Skystalker
I've never seen her in action and I can't say no to this character! There's already so much awesome just from the design alone. This is RIPE for an action figure.
"Since you got here by not thinking, it seems reasonable to expect that, in order to get out, you must start thinking." ~ Tock, the Watchdog
Alexx has a blog?! Come on in and check out Toys and Tomfoolery! You won't regret it...until the next morning.
Yes, of course I want a Huntara figure!!!! She's sensational!
"Yep! And now I'm gonna blast ya!" - Orko to Skeletor in "Lessons"
WANT: Twiggets, Hunga, Josh, Joya/Bubblerina, King Ahgo, Wise Old Wizardess,
Crimson Fury, Melog, Kowla, Red Eye, Staghorn, ALL New Adventures, Sharella,
Gray, Kittrina, Melaktha, Miranda, Lt. Andra, Illumina, Lady Slither, MYP Evil-Lyn,

Funny Fan Fic: Meet the Rea-Por! (Heroic & Villainous Deaths) & The Mighty Spector's FIRST EVER FAN-FIC
& not so funny Fan Fic: War of Attrition
Trade feedback & WANTED: Bow/SLL style boots!
not the biggest POP fan, but I would take her in a heart beat, she would look amazing
the ignore list is my new best friend
YES PLEASE!!!! I ALWAYS WANTED HER! She always kind of reminded me of the Golden Girl figures outfits almost.
Look for my designs on Deviant art. I am under Octobersdream. Will do commissions of anything, original to recreating any older line. Also needing POP stuff and some MoTU things aswell.

So you're outside the car wash and the clock is ticking on the pay vacuum sweeper. You notice a penny in the corner of the floor mat you're sweeping. Do you reach in to pick it up?
That was me last weekend, and my penny went up the hose with a tinny slurp. I guess twisting my back to reach the penny wasn't worth a cent. If it were a nickel, I'd have debated but picked it up, or a dime. Quarters feed meters, so I keep them in the little round slots in the storage box between the car seats. But the lowly penny – why bother?
I don't think very many of us use actual money any more. I handed over some cold, hard cash last week at the Starbucks drive-thru window. Every other time, I've handed over my cold, hard debit card, but this time I didn't have it with me (having given it to my child who also didn't have any cash). Just as I was panicking that I might have to keep driving without stopping for my coffee, I opened the little ashtray drawer (something else that never gets used) and – imagine! – there was a five-dollar bill. A crispy green Abe right there in my car. I handed it to the young man in the window and he handed me my $4 coffee and walked away with my cash, then returned a few seconds later with a my change: a few quarters, a nickel and some pennies.
It's been so long since I've received real, jingly change I'd forgotten that workers don't count out the change any more. When I worked at a grocery store, we counted the change as we dropped it into the customer's hand. That's 20, 25, 50, 75, a dollar. But now, the young man dropped the change into my palm in a clump and I transferred most of it into the tip jar, keeping a quarter for the little change slot in the box between the seats.
The experts say it's better to use cash, because if you don't have it in your pocket, you don't spend it. It's a good theory, but it means you have to have cash with you all the time, and who does that anymore? Seems to me you're trading the savings from avoiding small, frivolous purchases for those fees they charge when you withdraw cash from the bank machine. It's just so convenient to hand over the debit card. Some places don't even make you sign your name, and at my favorite neighborhood coffee shop, they ask if you even want a receipt.
I'm waiting for vending machines to work that way. While teaching a university class this week, I found myself halfway through a long lecture in a warm classroom without my bottle of water. I was tired of hearing my own voice and choking on my own dry tongue, and so I told the class to take a break and dove into my wallet.
My wallet was jammed with pennies. So that's why my purse has been feeling so heavy lately. I needed six quarters to get a bottle of water (almost as ridiculous as the $4 coffee), but was a quarter low. I thought about running to my car for some quarters, or asking a student to trade me a quarter for some of my pennies and nickels, but that seemed like too much work. I ran to the hall and got a drink from the fountain.
All the pennies in the world couldn't buy me what I needed right then, so what good are they? Canada agrees with me, and announced last week they are phasing out the penny. Considering I don't use real money, and don't care about pennies, I wonder how I ended up with so many.

Arab Pipelineistan's high stakes
Gas supplies from Egypt to Israel and Jordan were shut off this week when an "unknown armed gang" bombed the Arab Gas Pipeline. This is not the first time the star of Arab Pipelineistan has been disrupted, causing acute concern in capitals across the region. The discovery of massive natural gas deposits in the eastern Mediterranean, however, has the potential to end any energy war. Or does it?

Palestinian move sends shock waves
Fatah-Hamas rapprochement signals that Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas has chosen a specific path to Palestinian independence, forsaking Washington for its betrayals on settlement freezes. The risks of the gambit are great, with isolation threatened as Israel is pushed closer to the US. But Abbas perhaps has other patrons in mind, and the deal has potentially momentous consequences for Middle East politics.

When Montgomery comes to Nabi Saleh
United States President Barack Obama compares the Arab Spring to the US civil rights movement, but seems blind to Palestinian resistance in many villages evolving to use non-violent rather than shock tactics. Villagers are linking arms and walking bravely into a storm of teargas, rubber bullets and injustice, and America's lack of support blights the legacy of heroes like Rosa Parks.

US Hueys over Yemen
Washington has been arming and training Yemeni dictator Ali Abdullah Saleh's security forces in the midst of a democracy struggle - see those new Huey choppers flying over protesters - as part of an ongoing Pentagon program to supply and train government forces. Yemenis - more than two-thirds under the age of 24 - are likely to remember for a very long time which side the United States took in their freedom struggle.

Summer war in the Middle East?
Military campaigns in the Middle East have historically happened during or around the summer. This year, the game inventory is extraordinarily rich: a great Arab revolution and counter-revolution, a growing crisis in the Persian Gulf within the context of worsening Sunni-Shi'ite relations, a Palestinian declaration of independence looming, and a speculative "war in or with Israel". -

The Syrian chessboard
Syria matters on all fronts - from Iran to Iraq,

Why US fed detainees to torture system
When United States and European forces in Afghanistan began handing over suspects to Afghan security forces in late 2005 - despite their well-known reputation for torture - it was for very different reasons. While the British and Dutch were avoiding a US detainee policy tainted by accounts of prisoner abuse, the Americans saw the Afghans as better at extracting intelligence.

The great Afghan carve-up
With the United States seeking a negotiated settlement with the Taliban in Afghanistan, the jockeying for influence by regional players is well underway. Pakistan, China, Iran and Turkey have considerable interests, dexterity and much to gain, though pitfalls are clear to anyone not blinded by the glittering appeal of economic and geopolitical boons.

AfPak comes to Africa
Why haven't they thought about this before; an army of drones (only five for the moment, based in southern Italy) instead of boots on the ground? Pentagon chief Robert Gates claims the drones will strike Libya for "humanitarian reasons". The "cubicle warriors" will certainly raise some hell by dragging a mouse, but there is only one way this is headed - stalemate (and "collateral damage") as in AfPak. -

Syrian military strikes at rebels' heartland
Bodies were left lying in the streets of Syria's southern town of Deraa as troops and tanks pushed in to quell a rebellion against President Bashar al-Assad's rule, with forces also deployed in Damascus. The sweeping assault signals a deadly shift in security force tactics that's likely to draw more international condemnation as the United States mulls sanctions.
(Apr 26, '11)
Assad deceives his people
As the bloodshed mounts, the Syrian street increasingly sees Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's reforms as an attempt to buy time and avoid international retribution. While Assad has lifted the outdated "emergency law", he made no mention of freeing political detainees, dismantling the security apparatus or revising the constitution - omissions that resonate with people who know the regime's methods well.

New spy links to Mumbai carnage
Court documents that have surfaced ahead of a trial in Chicago next month reveal that the two men accused of being the brains behind the Mumbai massacre in 2008 could admit they were working for Pakistani spies. Indian investigating agencies were sure Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) had a hand in the carnage and the confession will strain already wobbly ties. -

Fear and loathing in the House of Saud
That the United States has condoned Saudi Arabia's counter-revolution against the Great 2011 Arab Revolt and incendiary manipulation of sectarianism shatters America's "credibility on democracy and reform". For all its bluster, the House of Saud's actions are essentially moved by fear and may lead to a total radicalization of the Sunni-Shi'ite divide across the Arab world. -

US denies trying to undermine Assad
The United States claims it is not trying to undermine the embattled Syrian government, despite having supplied millions of dollars to opposition groups since 2006. As doubts grow that President Bashar al-Assad's decision to lift a 48-year-old emergency law will satisfy protesters, such fence-sitting may exacerbate civil strife.

Imran Khan, the former Pakistan cricket
captain turned politician, could be in the ascendancy as Pakistan's military looks for potent and credible leadership for reconciliation with the Taliban. A fervent critic of his government's alliance with America and US drone attacks, Khan is leading a sit-in against military convoys that could act as a curtain-raiser to his involvement in the AfPak arena.

Mission regime change
By jointly announcing the bombs will fall until Muammar Gaddafi is gone for good, Washington, London and Paris have torn up the original UN mandate on Libya. There will be Western boots on the ground - sooner rather than later - and what comes next is even more messy: the North Atlantic Treaty Organization as the weaponized arm of the UN, roaming Africa for conquest and plunder.

Libya: calculated risk or recklessness
Rather than humanitarian or strategic goals, Western military intervention in Libya is likely aimed at avoiding wider inter-state conflict of the kind historically sparked by revolution. The West must also be wary of Egypt emulating post-revolutionary Iran's regional emergence, and be conscious it may have dangerously underestimated Islamic militants in the rebels' ranks. -

Staying human: Vittorio Arrigoni's legacy
The murder of an Italian activist in Gaza by a Palestinian fundamentalist group - supposedly in retaliation for a Hamas crackdown on its members - has led some pro-Israel supporters to cite a pattern of killings of "groupies and apologists" in Palestine. This ignores international activists who faced kidnap, harassment and worse at the hands of Israeli troops. -

Afghanistan might pull off a miracle
Negative prognoses in Western media as the poorly equipped Afghan army takes over from where a decade of international intervention has failed do not mean it is impossible that Afghans can secure their future.

Drones shatter US-Pakistani trust
Pakistani demands for the United States to curb drone strikes and reduce the number of its spies were a response to programs that have stirred public outrage and gone well beyond agreements made in past years.

Fatal Tomahawk attraction
Libyan ''rebels'', by allowing Britain and France to hijack their revolt, have lost their credibility. By imploring the Pentagon to unleash the "ground strike capability" of its tankbusters and gunships to bomb their country to kingdom come, they have also lost their moral authority. To top it off, they have allowed Western and Gulf capitals to pose as carriers of the white man's burden. -

Doha group agrees to fund rebels
The international contact group on Libya agreed in a one-day summit in Qatar to set up a "trust fund" for the opposition in Benghazi, with donations possibly from assets frozen from Muammar Gaddafi.

Libya all about oil, or central banking?
Justifications for the involvement of the United States and its allies in the Libyan rebellion range from human rights concerns to ensuring oil supplies.

Presidential folly persists in Obama
Whatever the motives of United States President Barack Obama, by conforming to a pre-existing American penchant for using force in the Middle East, he has chosen the wrong tool.

As the military campaign against Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi rapidly turns into a dead end, European allies in the coalition have self-interestedly begun squabbling among themselves, and Germany reportedly has gone it alone to negotiate a ceasefire.

The riposte to Pentagon head Robert Gates' entreaties for the Iraqi government to allow the US to stay on beyond the end of the year came swift and sharp from nationalist politician Muqtada al-Sadr: Leave as agreed or face Mahdi Army guerrilla tactics.

Israel and several Gaza militant factions reached a truce late on Sunday after a weekend of intense violence.

Reporting for Higher Education ActStates must produce an annual report to the U.S. Department of Education which details certification pass rate data for all teacher preparation institutions, as well as information regarding state standards, alternative certification, and numbers of teachers who are employed but not fully qualified. States must also report on their procedures for identifying and assisting institutions that are low performing. To meet the federal reporting requirements, Maryland links the institutional performance criteria to state teacher education policy, The Redesign of Teacher Education, and to ongoing program approval procedures. Maryland administers Title II state grant funds to assist institutions in meeting the state and federal mandates. For more information:
The Maryland Plan for Title II Reporting Requirements of the Higher Education Act (Sections 207 and 208)

Gov. Tom Corbett has placed a moratorium on new small games of chance oversight to allow state lawmakers to tweak the law to appease fire departments and social clubs that depend on gambling for survival.
The decision announced Thursday was viewed as "great news for hundreds of small organizations" that struggled to understand the complicated law, said state Sen. Tim Solobay, D-Canonsburg.
"It was a mess from the beginning," said Terry Gnora, treasurer of American Legion Post 212 in Donora. "They should have thought about it before they went ahead and did it, and they should have talked to the organizations."
The moratorium cames as a response to the governor receiving "tens of thousands of signatures" on petitions circulated by such organizations in opposition to the law, which would have required 70 percent of the proceeds from bingos and raffles to be earmarked for public interest purposes and the keeping of records on those who won more than $100. The groups, some of which rely on few volunteers and employees, complained the extensive bookkeeping required by the new law was putting a strain on their ability to survive.
Corbett had agreed to raise the weekly prize limits from $5,000 to $25,000 as long as lawmakers increased enforcement on the games offered by organizations, some of which were using gambling illegally.
State Rep. Peter J. Daley said the announcement was "a major victory" for organizations that were threatening to close their doors because of the new rules.
"The governor realized something needs to be done to fix this problem," said Daley, D-California.
Daley in September introduced legislation to repeal the law after hearing from both Republican and Democratic members of the state House about their receiving complaints regarding the new reporting rules and other regulations in the law.
"Our intent with passing the new law was not to do harm, but to help these organizations," Daley said. "If the new law isn't going to work, then let's fix it now."
He said the most important revision would allow such organizations to keep 70 percent of proceeds from the games to pay their bills.
"Some of us with experience as volunteers and as organization leaders predicted some of these unintended consequences when the bill was making its way through the Legislature," stated Solobay, who is a volunteer fireman in his hometown.
"But we couldn't convince everyone of the threat," Solobay said. "Now, I think, everyone has heard from leaders in their communities, and we're ready to make sure that the law preserves the viability of the organizations that desperately need the money to continue the work they do in the community."

text: At this point, I think it's safe to say that NINJOR will be designed exactly like he was back in the 80's, only with added articulation. I never owned one, so I'm not quite sure what he looked like. Anybody have a pic of an old one that's not missing anything??

I got the feeling it was a flippant remark.
Seems the demand by the comments of pre release orders on the dpreview forums (including myself) has probably pushing sony to race through with the release.
Thanks for the info.

HARRISBURG – The winter storm has dumped five inches of snow or more on parts of central and northern Pennsylvania.
The National Weather Service says more than five inches has been recorded in Blair County, and five inches in Tioga, Potter and Lycoming counties.
But Philadelphia International Airport is now reporting no significant flight delays. Airport spokeswoman Stacy said earlier Saturday that there were delays of a little over an hour, mostly on arriving flights, but says the airport is now running "close to a normal schedule."
Pennsylvania Turnpike officials have imposed a 45 mph speed limit on almost 300 miles of the turnpike from the Ohio line to the Morgantown Interchange, and state transportation officials imposed a similar reduction on interstates 78, 80, 81 and 380 and other eastern Pennsylvania roads.
