I'm sure it's terrific for MOTU fans and will work just fine for 1:18 scale toys, but it's way overpriced at even $75. Compared to the original toy, the details are dumbed down and soft...it just kinda sucks.

interesting. i have no doubt the dumbing down of details is due to the smaller scale

It's not smaller than the original. I think it's actually a little taller. What I mean is they softened it up...the details are less crisp, and some are missing altogether, and it has been "flattened," for lack of a better word. Like the area around the skull and the turrets lacks depth. As I said, it sorta sucks for those of us who loved the original as kids because when you love something like that, you tend to study it and it's disappointing to see all those cool little things you remember so well "dumbed down." They're there still, kinda, just dumbed down.

Has there ever been a Joe scale boat that looks like something from Jungle Cruise or Indiana Jones?

Grayskull is 5.5” scale so might be a little big for 3.75

Does anyone know the history of these playsets...what line they were part of, when they were made, and where they were available. I know one is a Fantastic Four set, but other than that...I haven't seen any other info on it....the other one is pretty cool, and I would like to know more about it.

I haven't put any 4 in figures in it yet but I believe the He-mans are 5 or 5.5 in so it is probably little big.
