>>11599568Obviously not the usual OP, but last thread got pruned for some reason. Copied the "fixed" OP from the last thread and updated with what just came in stock and the Mondo preorder at BBTS, but fucked up at the end there and forgot to green text it.I will commit seppuku now.
>>11599568>tqA third time? Lol, you must be new to origins.
>>11599568I would have preferred the 200x toy designs over toon accurate desu, except Mossman who benefits from not being green beastman.
>>11599586It was a rough average.>vintage>Cartoon Collection>200x>odd variants like minicomic and LoPSome like Stratos have gotten figures in all 4 main categories. Some like Whiplash didn't get a minicomic figure. Some like Roboto didn't get a CC figure. Some will only get a vintage figure. He-man and Skeletor are probably up to 18 versions by now, but the main characters are statistical outliers.I also wasn't counting crossover shit.
So what happened to the other thread? I am just curious what I missed.
>>11599718Literally nothing. No shitposting or anything. https://archive.palanq.win/toy/thread/11597765/#11597765Best I can figure out is maybe OP got a ban that got all his posts pruned.
>>11599727Makes sense but a let down. I wanted to hear something scandalous like someone made AI lewds of Andra and Madam Razz that went too far for a blue board.
>>11599752You could do it AnonBecome a legend
>>11599727I bet the OP was one of the guys arguing back an fourth at the beginning of the thread about whatever the fucking christ stupid bullshit something about the OP being wrong and mods got em.At least I hope so.
>>11599752Andra finding Etheria and getting lesbian moral support from Razz sounds plausible.It's actually kind of funny how her best friend Sorceress Teela knows fuck all about other dimensions than Eternia 's afterlifes, while in Filmation Teela's mom claimed she could never find Adora because she could access too damn many dimensions to search them all.
I reached out to mondo about clawful being an exclusive. Hope they get back to me.
>>11599782What? Yes, it's an exclusive. It was only the timed edition and that's it. Unless they do a variant or something that was all there's gonna be.
>>11599782I asked them also a couple weeks ago, their answer was actually "I don't know! Keep up with news from Mondo for updates." The idk was verbatim, the rest is in the same vein.
>>11599761>>11599765>>11599776We better be careful. I think that the jannies are on a power trip. Anons weren't hyping up vintage collection Mer Man, or the movie, enough. Daddy Mattel has been pouring big bucks into these threads lately and couldn't stand the sorry state of afairs.
>>11599860>Daddy Mattel has been pouring big bucks into these threads lately and couldn't stand the sorry state of afairs.No we haven't.
>>11599867You...you do this for free?
>>11599881They are paying you all?I agreed as long as they released TwoBad in Origins. Mattel said I could quit once he's released.......hey wait a minute
Eldor, Dragstor, Great Black Wizard cock, when the fuck are we gonna get one on MC? Even just the wait for scorpion guy took forever
>>11599782>>11599848Probably because it's a Staction design and Mattel still has those in some kind of unholy copyright grip.
You know if it wasn't for year '86 Masterverse would really be catching up to Origins.One line has Two-Bad, Gwildor and Blade, the other has Sssqueeze, Snake Face and Modulok. Origins only wins by variants (Dragon Blaster Skeletor and Buzz Saw Hordak). >>11599940Eldor is apparently 18 Nov. Dragstor probably Dec. Find a way to keep yourself busy till then, I guess.
I loved that joke where kid asked Ram Man how we turns his head. Obviously unintended but feels like commentary on limited articulation on Ram Man toys.
>>11600113I really doubt it because unless my memory is really faulty, MC doesn't put up anything except maybe some Hot Wheels in Dec. I don't recall a single Dec MotU release they ve ever done so I'm putting my money all on "nothing in Dec, Dragstor in Jan"
>>11600118"Ram Man, how do you raise your arms?""Uh, see, what I do...see uh...the thing is...I manage."
>>11600118being able to turn his head would increase the risk of injury when he rams things.
>>11600121He wasn't the first Ram Man...the original Ram Man now goes by "Mekaneck"
>>11600128kek
Who knew using self-inducing brain damage as your main offence strategy comes with occupational hazard?
I wonder if they'll reuse Cringer's buck to make 200X Battle Cat and Panthor. You think there would be interest?
>>11600135didn't they already announce Panthor-man for the Battle Cats of greyskull line?
>>11599752>like someone made AI lewds of Andra and Madam Razz
Picked all these up today. Also got Skell-ra the other day.
Im becoming more convinced we'll get all movie figures in one packGwildor was always disappointing. Now he'll have poor articulation and most of his parts wont work for swaps. Blade is simple enough with some parts reuse.And Saurod will disappoint gimmick fans with Khan treatment.So why not put them together? Diehard Saurod fans will have to get other two get him increasing sales.May or may not add Karg to make pack more attractive.
>>11600149I only have nostalgia for Saurod, and already came to accept the fact he won't have an action feature. I remember when the Sparking Rollerblade Barbie got recalled, so even if every figure still had their action figure, I knew he wouldn't.I didn't own bootleg Ninjor or Space Willow, so if I have to buy all 3 to get Saurod, I'm not getting any. Fuck them.>May or may not add Karg to make pack more attractiveDon't you fucking dare give them any ideas. If any Mattel exec reads this and the idea even crosses your mind, I will convince Kim Jong Un to aim his missiles directly at El Segundo.
>>11600149You're making the assumption that they're going to just release those 3 and nothing else I think they're more likely to do a mix of what CC and Masterverse are doing.Release 1987 as a subline like MV, but it's the MAIN subline that takes over retail like CC. Then they'll release He-Man, Skeletor, God Skeletor,Teela, Evil-lyn, Beast Man, Man-At-Arms and Sorceress. Gwildor will get put in a two pack with "Battle Damage He-Man" from the final fight. Blade will be in the final retail wave. Then it'll get pulled for a new refresh without Saurod but they'll tell us "but don't worry, were not done with 1987 yet :)" which will be corpo speak for "Saurod will come out on MC in two years from now"
>>11600184I just dont know there are enough people nostalgic for the movie, compared to 200X or Filmation.And releasing dedicated MOTU movie brand so close to new movie would make branding confusing.
>>11600140Damn, your she ra looks great.
>>11600196Well, if not the main brand, then a "Target exclusive" brand or something to replace Sketchbook Series. SBS doesn't have THAT many known main cast variants to sustain a long term side line, and I think we all know it's not gonna dig into the OCs in any meaningful way, so it'll probably be over in a year or so and they can put out 1987 then while more cartoon collection takes the main retail line and everything else fights for space on MC
>>11600202The back of the skirt is really heavily stained red from the cape, but it's hidden by the skirt most of the time, so it's not that big a deal.
>>11600196>And releasing dedicated MOTU movie brand so close to new movie would make branding confusing.This.Also what if the 2026 movie isn't successful enough? I don't think Mattel is going to release a bunch of figures to retail celebrating an old movie that flopped.We'll be lucky if they don't break their promise to remake every vintage figure in Origins. I think a lot more is riding on the new movie's success than people here are accounting for.
>>11599940>EldorIs he confirmed as coming to MC?>Great Black WizardI hope we at least get Plasmar and he comes out first. I want to take pics of Plasmar going insane on the Snake Men.
>>11600281>I want to take pics of Plasmar going insane on the Snake Men.Plasmar hates the Snake Men.Zodak sat in his monastery being neutral until the Snake Men coming motivated him to fight.I bet we could assemble a little faction of anti-Snakes.
You fool, you foolI don't like spiders and snakesAnd that ain't what it takes to love me
>>11600286Saurod. He-Man, MAA and I guess Skeletor have special armors for snake killn>Even He-Man and Skeletor will put their differences aside to kill snakes>>11600281No, we know something Club-only is coming. If it's not him at least I'll know that Mattel is messing with us on purpose.
>>11600206Well her hair is what caught my eye, id take a small stain for hair that nice. What line is she from? L
What was the last fight that broke out on your shelve?
>>11600484When my wobbly Necro-Conda fell over and took out three rows of figures.
>>11600506pics or it's just slander against our glorious Snek-men
>>11600290>If it's not him at least I'll know that Mattel is messing with us on purposeYou know I really don't see where there's any appeal in EldorHe's a generic old man in a plain brown hoodie with book. That's just boring. I dunno about anyone else but I wouldn't feel "messed with" if it wasn't him. Worst case scenario would be swapping one uninteresting figure for another uninteresting figure.
>>11600296>What line is she from?She's from the 200X line. The hair is nice. There's glitter on the back of the cape and when I took her out of the zip lock back she came in, the hair was all tangled into it like velcro, but it came away fairly easily, and I was happy she came with her brush to fix it all.
>>11600597Hey fuck you he's a wizard Wait is he? I just assumed.
>>11600597It's not about Eldor. It's about what he represents - a simple promise.Mattel announced this years that they'll make 3 biggest Powers of Grayskull characters. PoG like has only 3 real characters, 2 if we're being honest because Sharella didnt had a prototype figure in the 80s.If they wont deliver now Eldor, they'll officially announcing they're dedicated to never finish anything. No more snarky comments, this is a statement. We're not giving you Two-Bad, Scorpia, Strobo, Thunderkittens, CC Kobra Khan, Marlena, Goat Man or whatever you feel you need to complete your collection. Enjoy CGI Cartoon Collection next year, we wont make Ram Ma'am.
>>11600484Terror claws skelly vs sketch book syklone. Some say that battle still rages on to this day, an eternal battle being contested on the floor.>>11600693Cool. Maybe i can find a decent one.
>>11600994What are you talking about?OF COURSE we'll make all those...New Etheria Scorpia, 200x Queen Marlena, we'll make the new movie Goat Man...and we already gave you TWO Two Bads, in Masterverse and Cartoon Collection! Enjoy and you're welcome!
>>11601037>Cool. Maybe i can find a decent one.Decided I'll share some photos I took. Had to put her on a stand, I don't know if it's just how she was packed over the years warping the legs, or the natural way they are, but she cannot stand for long periods of time. I've tweaked her stance and put her on a solid surface and eventually she just topples. I appreciate the Four Horsemen sculpting the figures into really intersting, dynamic poses, but the way they did the legs really fucks the centre of gravity.That said, she looks awesome and a surprising side-effect her cape being creased by storage, it constantly looks like it's billowing.
>>11601151This figure retains the original figure's brushable hair feature, including a comb. I wish there was a way to store the comb on the figure, either under the cape or maybe slotted into a boot like a boot knife.
>>11601153Here is a shot of the staining on the back of the skirt. I've tried using isopropyl alcohol to remove the stain, but no luck. There is also some mild staining to the hair as well. Fortunately the staining is not easily visible most of the time.
>>11601156And here is a shot with her brother. The two look fantastic together. Honestly either figure looks good on its own, but together they both make each other seem grander, at least to me.Hope folks enjoy these pictures, sorry that aren't higher resolution, the sharpness on my phone's camera seems to be getting worse.
>>11601153I also want to make a note here for other anons, the headband is glued to the head, so if a strand of hair manages to snake its way out of the headband, or you try and comb them out, you will be in for a hell of a time trying to get them back into place.
>>11600484Well right now I have the Snakemen, Skeletor and He-Man and She-Ra teaming up for whatever reason to bust King Hiss out of the Fright Zone prison, and it's not going too well for them. The Horde isn't even sending most of their heavy hitters and despite aggressive hug therapy from Sssqueeze, the "heroes" are about to be overrun by Horde Troopers.
>>11599848They gave me the same response. Def a bot or something.
>>11601151Thanks (you). I have nothing to add or insights to share. But this good content while I was on the toilet and feel the knowledge might be useful next time I run into one of these at a thrift store.
Has there ever been a toy of a green skeleton I can stick a skeletor head on to make a full skeleton skeletor? Or has anyone done a custom like this? I just need to see a full skeleton skeletor for some reason.
>>11601153I was born right after the 80s so its crazy to me fantasy and he man were so popular it could spinoff into a doll line and I'm assuming it was successful?
>>11601770The story from Mattel is that He-Man had such a large female fanbase that they decided to create She-Ra to try and capitalise on it. Depending on who you ask, She-Ra killed MOTU the first time because boys thought it was lame now that their little sisters were playing with the figures. Though most likely She-Ra just came about right as the franchise was already falling out of popularity.
You know what I never got about 200X? How Castle Grayskull wasn't renowned legendary center of the universe and Skeletor's lifelong obsession, it was Power of Elders that mattered and characters realized it lies in Grayskull only at the start of the series. So everyone assumes that huge stone fortress with a skull is just some ruin, no one pays attention to it and no kids (despite having flying vehicles) ever went to play in it. Weird.
>>11601778 #It was more that the motu show crossed over to spop. Less and less adventures occurred in motu and more and more occurred to in spop. And the world of spop was more female centric. It was like some one stole your he-man and gave it to your sister
>>11601839If I remember correctly, She-Ra was a follow-up to He-Man instead of a concurrent series which might've had something to do with it.
>>11601862You're not wrong, but there was a 2 month transition period when both were airing.
>>11601156Boy, you werent kidding about the stain. Atleast the cape hides it. >>11601769Theres the gitd skeleton warriors two pack. Idk if thats what youre looking for though.
>>11601778The years 1985 and 1986 were the peak of MotU's success, and She-Ra was around as of March 22, 1985. If little boys thought He-Man wasn't cool anymore because their sisters were saying they have the Power of Grayskull now, 85 sales would have been worse than 84.>>11601862>>11601870MotU was a victim of its own success as the first toy line advertised by a cartoon. Filmation helped fund a 65-episode package for syndication right at the beginning. TV stations paid their maximum for shows with 100 episodes, so other companies paced themselves so it took several years of toys to reach that number. Filmation would have gone bankrupt making more MotU episodes than they actually did (130 rather than 100), lacking continuing revenue from TV stations to pay the writers and artists. He-Man urgently needed a spinoff with a new name because of the economics of TV.
This "How dare you check out my butt!" pose would be funnier if this was Scorpia instead of a dude.
>>11601974Just ordered him and Hurricane Hordak. He's my first OC origins pick up and I can't wait to add him to my Horde boys! Still hope we see Scorpia one day, and Entrapta.
>>11601974hopefully he stays ups until the next origins figure drop. hate to pay shipping on just one fig.
Here's our next MOTU Origins collab guys.
