Im happy with the ones I have from zica toys.

I think the issue for me is they are trying to replicate the original looks instead of updating the look. It's a fine line, because others would complain its too different from the original if they did their own thing. Lower articulation levels for a 7 inch figure hurts it as well. Even the MotU origins updated articulation while trying to keep the original look. Two good guys as the initial release is also an odd choice. While I like the addition of a female figure, I'm less likely to purchase if the line doesnt look like it has legs. I have almost all of the original line including the puppet mounts (still a great gimmick), so the need for a one (or two) off of a new line has little appeal.

I hope Power Lords is a different build. I was sad when I found out the 4 Horsemen line was not 1/12 (which still baffles me) I LOVE Power Lords. Oddly enough, I liked the 1/18 scale of the other Sectaurs redo...I thought it worked with my other figures being a smaller, insect-y scale. I bought the main baddie and he stands besides Skeletor on my shelf.

Shown below are images from the Nacelle Company booth at this weekends Power-Con convention showing off prototypes for their newly announced Power Lords and Sectaurs . Note the one image of the 7-inch Sectaurs Darcon and 6-inch Stelara figures comes via Nacelles Rich Mayerik which wasn't on the table when we came by to shoot them.For the Power Lords they had unpainted prototypes of Shaya and Arkus.

Sectaurs was one of my favorite lesser known 80s lines. Nothing like waking up Xmas morning to a giant flying insect with rider. Glad to see they didn't "modernize" these like they did Robo Force. I want to see more, but I'm likely in.
