Sketch Series Target Exclusive 3-pack when?TC: Army builder CC Goblins and Shadow Beasts now that the retro game is coming out.
>>11561162Fuckin do it mattel!
>>11561125Brak?
>>11561162Speaking of the game, I hope the boss fights are fun and diverse, unlike that GI Joe beat em up.Like Skeletor copies himself like Shredder in TMNT Arcade, or he starts off as a melee with the Terror Claws but also armor and Dragon, a certain amount of damage kills Dragon leaving just his skull/spine, more damage knocks the Terror Claws off and he switches to spells with the Havoc Staff, his armor dents and then breaks off and vanilla changes to a final attack pattern.
Shit guys, the other thread has hit the image limit but i did gather up my figures. Sorry, i was hoping i could keep this in the old thread but if you want to talk or see more pics etc just lemme know.
>>115611252002 release when goddammit
>>11561213Are you selling your stuff to buy new furniture?
I just now noticed that the Battle Ram blog has this Esteban Maraoto painting with a rare appearance by Dragon.
Sketchbook Series?
>>11561301>gay concept character>posts something rad as fuckWhere does the head go when the mouth is open?
Creations exclusive WWE Superstars The Rock 2-Pack in 5 days. Doubt it sells quickly but more figures.
>>11561349>doesn't understand why he called it gayLook at the two modes of this figure, and then think about what He-Man must be sitting on
I want a nice 1/12 She-Ra and a nice 1/12 He-Man with a good face. Why is this impossible in 2025?
>>11561301kekloving this, just motu stuff being motu
I picked up Evilyn, she might be my new favorite fig.>>11561213Do you have any Masterverse figures for sale?
>>11561465She looks nice, I wish these figs weren't 1/10, I would have gotten her as well.
>>11561060absolutelymore weirdos that fit the classic sword and sworcery with slight sci-fi psychedelia influences
>>11561486She fits in with most 6” muscle mommies.
>>11561360He's sitting on his weight lifting belt which doubles as a saddle in beast mode. you act like He-man's riding a greased up sparkly cock.
>>11561514Off topic but damn I hope Hasbro re-releases Titania on a retro card at some point without the altered suit and that struggling to shit head sculpt. Even if it's in a two pack with Absorbing Man.
>>11561703I'm not acting like anything. I'm explaining the other guys joke to you. You seemed to think he labelled it "gay MotU concept" in a "this is lame" way by saying it was actually rad, and I was telling you he meant in the literally homosexual way because He-Man was sitting on his crotch.
>>11561465Loose yeah. Its the early waves but they are boxed up. What are you looking for?
What are some unexplored dynamics you'd like to see between Evil Warriors? Mostly we get endless interactions between members of the Diamond Ray of Disappearance group. There was Webstor/Kobra Khan before 200X simplified KK to "obsessed with King Hiss from the moment he steps in Snake Mountain".Outside of the movie guys with Evil-Lyn and Beast Man and a mute Blast-Attak's membership in the Motherboard cult, have 1987 Evil Warriors even met the earlier ones?
>>11561828i'd like some non-leader interactions between evil groups. Maybe Grizzlor and Beast Man are rivals or Webstor and Modulok.
>>11561828I think i remember that Merman looked down on Beast Man and tried to be secomd commamder to Skeletor.
>>11561855
>>11561857Both being an amalgamation is a lame origin story. I like it better when his race is a double headed race.
>>11561861
Anyone has this? is it worth it? found it for a decent price. I got into MOTU with classics so it would be cool to own "vintage" versions of these 2 since I don't have any.
>>11561861>I like it better when his race is a double headed race.Listen to this guy, Mattel. You could sell me more figures from Two Bad's race.
>>11561868You could give them a good counter part too.
>>11561869Yes, I want Two Good.
>>11561870Double-Hero
>>11561875In Transformers G1, all the Deception Pretenders plus Double Header and Longtooth from the last assortment of Autobots had MOTU vibes.
>>11561886These guys were neat.
Just look at all these monsters next to a samurai with a skull for a face and a half-naked muscleman.
>>11561886>Transformers starts losing popularity and starts giving the robots shells that look like MOTU figures>Meanwhile MOTU starts losing popularity and introduces transforming robots into the lineThe 80s were mental.
>>11561895"They're changing into other forms. What evil robots."
>>11561828I'd like to see Spikor have a rivalry with whomever's the fiction's making the Evil Warriors' techie, because he crafts magic gear.
>>11561886One of my fav figs back then, still is.
I think my ideal "Double Hero" for Origins would be the unseen vintage Two Bad torso, scaly arm and upper leg, Rio Blast hips, sculpted pant leg (from a wrestler?), one Rio boot, Spikor arm in (white) flesh tone with a chainsaw instead of the extendable trident, one Rattlor shin/foot and heads that look like Bruce Campbell and a friendly scaly reptile man. Pick your favorite color for the scaly half.
>>11561125>MV Mantenna>They actually went with the red gloves and shoes.Why do this?
>>11561864I've only seen reviews of it online. I wanted a set but it went out of stock so fast I never got the chance.
In the Brazilian MotU comic's last issue, #33, there's a "Demon of Madness" held in a cell in Castle Grayskull and escaped.Can anyone dig up an image of this? Might be fun to have a maddening roommate for Frog Monger, the Orlax and that wolf or baboon demon.
>>11561967https://youtube.com/shorts/3Cc2_Kav7XU?si=3PSVlf61eqBo8jzfThis what you're looking for?
>>11561977Yes! Thank you!
Remember when we used to collect Origins art Easter eggs? Let's look back at the most exasperating:Marlena (old, based on DC 1982/minicomics of 83-84). From 2020 and still no Marlena of any kind.
Loo-Kee in Wave 3 as a joke instead of a preview seems more understandable."Didja see me?"
Two Bad was first teased in 2022 (Terror Claws Skeletor card).
>>11561864>>11561961I have this set and it's great and talked about it before here. Its great. Extra paint apps are nice and the figures also feel solid enough. Spring action works great and feels famliar to original. The only gripe I see is the heads being similar or from the commemorative series as opposed to the true original but I can look passed that I guess, as I dont have any commemorative.From what I've seen there is no full power sword included, maybe some foreign sets do, but the accessory count on the box doesnt account for it at least on the ones I've seen, seems to be a thing only seen in that render to me... The paint apps on the halfswords and the havoc staff both have that nice metallic sheen on the figures as well. Both sword halfs and the havoc staff are the same from origins wave 1, but the colors reversed for the swords probably to differentiate them from origins.Is there anything specific you want to know ?
If Origins just did the box art teases before ending, would you be satisfied?Queen MarlenaLoo-KeeImpTwo BadMulti-BotStonedarBlast-AttakTwistoidEldorTytusMegatorLaser Power He-ManLaser Light SkeletorDeloraDactusQueen AndreenoChooblah200X centaur (name?)StroboHe-Man with bare feet/bare forearms/no belt AKA Oo-LarrConcept Rattlor AKA Stretch NekPythonusRed Snake ManRed ShadowToxoidOrangish Snake Man from Kol-Darr cardWolf or baboon demon in the Dwell of SoulsRed Obelisk weirdo"Warrior in red"Purple cyclopsArmored TeelaEvil Pterodactyl riderIlkortsGranitaHuntaraScorpion man with four legsBonus round: steedsMantisaurTeela's unicornPoG dinosaursBonus round: POWERCONVintage versions of Kowl, Bow, Arrow, Glimmer, Catra & ClawdeenWitchDylamugOctaviaYetiConcept Rock Person
>>11562040I think Imp (Collector art) has to not count, or a lot more Filmation characters do (Adora, Scorpia on Leech's, CC Octavia and Sea Hawk on She-Ra's, down to extreme never evers like Stanlan on Ram Man's)
my walmart has a very nice display for mattel and hasbro products. (hasblow crap on the other side.)
Crazy seeing CC, Thundercats, ToG shelf warmers, and wrestlers together in such nice quantities.
best of all is the store display for Masterverse. This is kinda rare for anything besides Lego.
>>11562040Most of these I care so little, I'd trade them 3 to 1 or more to finish vintage instead.I think Plasmar was on those too.>>11562074Would be cool if those counted too though, you'd get pretty decent PoP cast that way.
>>11562089And by yes, by rest of vintage I mean no-names like Rotar and movie figures who I think are the only ones who were never teased.
>>11561961>>11562017Fuck it, I went for it, maybe one day I'll get an actual vintage one, but his will do for now.
What's the logic behind changing Origins to Cartoon Collection for a cartoon that ended 23 years ago instead of the new movie? Is Mattel precommitting to the aging man fandom being willing to re-purchase the core cast every two years but disliking the upcoming movie?
>>11562104Rule 1 is keep your A-listers on shelves as much as possible. There's a reason why you can always find bee and prime in every store. They sell better than any other bot. Skeletor and He-Man. Are the same.Also, the movie isn't out yet.
>>11562040Naw. The vast majority of what you listed is stuff I don't care about. With this list, I'd get all the vintage I want, fine, but only half the Sketchbook stuff and none of the minicomic stuff I want. And no Goat Man.
>>11562104>>11562106Even when the movie will be out, it will have limited cast of characters. Might as well do Filmation now, movie later and already think what you will replace them with.
>>11562081MoTU figures have such nice boxes, I would have loved those as a kid. I want that Cheetara.
>>11561886Good eye
>>11562174L-R; Octavian, Bad Man-At-Arms, Samurai Skeletor.
>>11562097I dont think you'll regret it. I like them quite a bit and can't put them away, had them for over a month now. I also have the originals but they will stay packed away, my he-mans legs are super wobbly now... Couple other things I need to mention; the 80th set has ball pegs for the legs as opposed to the rubber things and they stand a little squatter naturally probably so they can mount easy with the pegs etc. Skeletor is a lighter blue than he should be imo.
Dumbass Necroconda is 10 bucks on walmart.com. Why can't they send some up North, I'd buy some.
>>11562359Quick Googling suggests that even in Trump's second term, one of us could send you up to 4 for cost + $15 USD shipping with USPS.
>Arguably the coolest figure in the line so far>Impossible to get and already extremely expensive in the aftermarket because so little of it was distributedThank you Mattel, very cool. Glad we could get Grizzlor pegwarming instead.
>>11562359>>11562373Sisters, I have been suggesting that we try to help each other out for years. It wasn't just bitchposting when I said that one of the reasons I cooled on buying Origins was reading the constant "oh shit, that toy I really wanted and can't get is on clearance down there." Why even bother trying to be a completionist if you can't get most of the stuff. It auto kills the hype for new reveals to. I don't understand Mattel's reasoning on this.
Based on what has been mentioned in this thread>vintage He-Man and SkeletorI never had the vanilla pair of them as a kid, just the later variants. The exact moment Origins 100% hooked me was being able to finally put together the two halves of the sword. You read about the two halves in the Golden Books but didn't get to the thing with your toys....life is hard bros.Anyways once I became a toy collector, I know I had to have these two vintage.>UnicornaFunny but sucks to stand on his own and can't pose for shit. I probably should have got the carded one...life is so hard bros.>MagoonI guess he's the best KO? All those lines seemed like they had a blond, boring good guy leader. But this one has a helmet! >Battle Cat ManAlmost perfect. I think his helmet sits weird on his head and looks bad. Otherwise though this is exactly what I want from the crossovers.Maybe its just the way my taste work, but I'd rather see crossovers work like the companies make the mashups that fit perfectly (like Battle Cat as a Thunder Cats character) but do a wider varity of IPs.
>>11562359I think necroconda was one of walmart collector figures that sold out immediatly during a collector con event. Can anyone remember that? Either way, walmart kinda sucks at exclusive figures that often end up somewhere else.is it a taz write off between wal mart ans mattel?
>>11562377That whole line has had horrible distribution. Unless you want Sun Strike He-Man or whatever the fuck he is.
>>11562017>Is there anything specific you want to know ?How do they stack up to true vintage figures? Do they have the same feel as origins?
>>11562485They feel like modern plastic
>>11562401I dont fucking trust that horse and I dont fucking like the look he's giving me.
>>11562464You aren't wrong, but the BA Skeletor is worse than usual. Maybe they'll release it again? Who knows, but it's strange.
