Yep. 100% THIS.

It was an exciting time to be a MOTU fan, but also a very frustrating one, too. And collecting that line was hard work. Yes, I said WORK, lol. I still display my collection of the 200X stuff proudly. A lot of gasoline, blood, sweat and tears went into getting all those figures. Worth it all though, I'd say.
