First time making a general. Sorry if I screwed it up, I tried updating all the information in the last general, and adding anything I could find.
>>11619553>>11619579>>11619772Like I said, maybe the light in Anti-Eternia works differently. So here is my edit.
>>11620160We all love Skeletor, he's great. But Hordak is cooler.
>>11620160Anchor post for hot bitches
>>11620303Hell yeah. Axel bruan needs to get in on this.
This should be a good week...not only should we be getting the official reveal images for the Club Grayskull figure that goes on sale on the 18th, but "Sword of Flaws #2" goes on sale on the 19th so we should get the preview of that too, shouldn't we? We'll have lots to talk about Also, do you think they'll announce the next batch of MC figures before Christmas? After this Dec 9th sale, we'll be all caught up, and we know the retail offerings for the beginning of 2026, but nothing about the first MC releases for next year
>>11620370>Dec 9th saleWhat's that?
>>11620160>TQ: If you could create a while new faction (good guys or bad guys!) for MOTU what would it be?Maybe a do-gooder line of knights that mean well, but do bad things on occasions because they override morals with rules? Ans they all have a knight motif but its also based around warriors? And they have a knights of the roundtable sort of thing going?>>11620164I love the female demon head motif they went with>>11620303That art seems pretty close to what they'd look like in real life
>>11620303Yannick Bouchardhttps://www.instagram.com/p/DQIlAvREQXc/shows off the behind the scenes of making it as well
StinKing says this thread stinks!
>>11620548OK, that's good.
>>11620368Succubug and Tarangela are OCs created by our good friend Axel for inclusion in Revolution that got cut for time
>>11620629Looking up art from the comic, it was drawn by a guy called Daniel HDR, so I'd assume he's responsible for the redesigns
>>11620548>StinKingfucking lol
>>11620629Kind of surprised only bug girls were designed for Revolution, not one bug girl, one cat girl and one magician in a burqa.
>>11620646The last one wouldn't have fit Rev Hordak's MO of "fuck magic" they were going with, and Motherboard took the role of Hordak's right hand lady so she's that universe's "Shadow Weaver but for tech"
>>11620629>Allude to fat chick being a succubus>As if fat chick is alluring to men and they would want to sleep with herlol wut?
>>11620719Ticks are bugs that "get fat" (swell several times in size) when they suck you. You're overthinking one of MotU 's punny name.
>>11620629>>11620630So basically Hordak is Darkseid and Succubug is Granny Goodness
>>11620749She looks more like she's a stink bug than a tick to me
>>11620629>>11620840>stink bug>Axel designs fat girl to stinkLol. Ok Axel, you've earned yourself an extra Snakeman. Someone should do the "no, she's not interested" meme with Tarangela, Stinkubug and any male character of their choice
>>11620933>>11620936It's fucking Red ShadowEldor AND Great Black Wizard btfo lmao
>>11620951Who the fuck are these people. I just thought Preternia was dinosaurs boobs old and wizard heman
>>11620936>>11620951Alright guys, who asked for this shit ?
>>11620971Axel?
>>11620973>>11620971>>11620959>>11620951>>11620936>>11620933mattel please fuck off
>>11620981Mattel right now:
>>11620951I'm a hardcore origins collector but genuinely what the fuck is the point of this guy? I will skip.
>>11621001The point is "we need something cheap with lots of reuse that we can bilk the paypiggies with"Now they can save both Eldor and GBW for next year to force you to renew your membership, knowing you'll pay it because you don't wanna miss Eldor, do you?
>>11620936>but they were all of them decieve, for another OC was madeas someone who only started collecting MOTU figs at the start of Origins era, I welcome these new characters. I still want those chameleon bros too.
>>11621004>renew your membership,it's $10 so not a big deal, a mcchicken is $3 so I am willing to give up 3.3333 mcchickens a year to get access to new OC motu figs. I buy 3 and resell them to nonmembers for $10 the price I paid for plus shipping on ebay.
>>11621001To pad out POG line. Expect Gladiator and Best Lord next.
>>11621001>I'm a hardcore origins collector>doesn't know about relavence of characters in the box and card art or nu-minicomicsI don't think you know what hardcore means anon.
>>11621013I know red shadow it's just what am I supposed to do with this guy? Team him up with He-Ro?
>>11620719>As if fat chick is alluring to men and they would want to sleep with herYou should try browsing /tv/ more often.Or not.https://archive.4plebs.org/tv/thread/215802802/#215802802And before you pass judgement on me, I'm not like that. My ideal succubus would be a 6'+ Amazon with perky B-cups and bipolar disorder. I have a very specific type.
>>11621094Yes. Assemble your POG line 3 figures a year.
>>11621094Army build them as creatures serving Beast Man
>>11620936>it's not Great Black Wizard>>11620951>it's even lower than the bottom of the barrelI thought my prediction that it would be GBW was funny enough, but it stemmed from the idea that because the snake haters kicked up such a stink, that Mattel would repay you all by giving you Axel shit that would make you pray for more snakes.But I don't think I could have possibly predicted anything as shit as fucking Red Shadow out of the gate.>>11621006I still want Cham-or and Dart-os. I don't hate all of Axel's OCs, but Red Shadow might be the weakest of them all.
>>11621006>branded with the Snake Men logo>obviously not a snakeI want to see a cartoon episode where Lizard Man is harassed by Snake Men insisting he belongs to them.
>>11621011>Expect Gladiator and Best Lord next.Best Lord, or Worst Lord?
>>11621099>a 6'+ Amazon with perky B-cups and bipolar disorder.So Nu-Catra if the art style didn't make characters completely flat?
>>11621006>>11621118Hear me out:You could make it work like a "No Homer's allowed" joke where Lizard Man wants to join but can't with Cham-or being the other Homer.
>>11621118>branded with the Snake Men logo>obviously not a snakeI believe the backstory is that they are a race that had been enslaved by the Snake Men. It ties in nicely with the Saurod bio from Classics.
>>11620936I might get this. I have an idea.
>>11620160>Randor seen on shelves in Aus as well.Picked mine up yesterday. He's good, except for some really bad paint on the left shoulder. Also I don't know if this has been discussed, The figures are using face printing on the heads now.
>>11621120I thought Nu-Catra was shorter than Adora. Also she looks like she's binding her chesticles, so they are probably B-cups. But that bipolar personality combined with a pixie cut? Damn. Would let her ruin my life.
>>11620951>>11620936Oh what the fuck, I thought it was the blue wolf monster from the Grayskull dungeon grate.Pass.
>>11620933>>11620936>>11620951Literally who is this? Literally, actually, for real, who the fuck is this?
>>11621133Post some pictures.how's the robe, restricting?
>>11621144For a second before I read the description I thought it might be a Skelcon based on the spear accessory.
>>11620933Motu sisters, I am sorry.This feels like Mattel is punishing me for spamming them with Raz porn.Then all the non stop Snake hating (how could it be a hate crime if it felts so good Daddy Mattel?) And then being mean to their homegirl Tiff over her shit comic.>it was still that badFor her revenge she took it all the way to the top.>Eldor sucks but I get why you'd make him. >Gay Bnigger Whizzerd is worse character but could make a cool 5.5" dude.I KNOW that Tiff specially told them to make Red Shadow. She's got the clout and she knows this is worse than any snake repaint. She did it all because I told her she didn't win.>she really didn't thoughNow all of you must suffer for my sins. I'm so sorry.>they could have made Two Bad>they could have made Wrap Trap>they could have made New Adventures Dart-OsI think next year I am going to withhold my membership fees until Mattel gives me a full list of characters and their release dates. This cock tease waiiting for supreme dissappointment isn't doing it for me. Also>Masterverse Anti-Eternia He-Man is gone already. To the same Valhalla as BA Skeletor, Webstor and Ninjor no doubt.Fuck
>>11621133post the minicomic.
>>11621152Supposedly it's this guy in the dungeon of Grayskull. Hoping the mask is removable. He also hung around Moss Man in Preternia.
>>11621169She's not calling you back. Dont be needy.
>>11621174I'm not being serious. Just tried to make myself laugh instead of rageposting.Except for this part. I meant this>I think next year I am going to withhold my membership fees until Mattel gives me a full list of characters and their release dates. This cock tease waiiting for supreme dissappointment isn't doing it for me.
>>11621152I checked his bio in MOTU character ecyclopedia. The whole thing is basically "part of Grayskull's Heroic Warriors, was there when He-Ro died, wears mask, has red streak."
>>11621178Oh yeah, they burned trough last reserves of my trust with that.Fucking Red Shadow. They broke the bottom of the barrel and started digging.
>>11621173I don't know who told you that, but have never heard or seen any indication that Red Shadow is the dungeon beast. I think you've been had by a headcanoner who equates a superficial similarity (the fur) with being the same character. Fans are like that. They don't recognize something and instead of just accepting they don't recognize it, say that it's whatever character closest matches.I remember a couple years ago seeing posts of people assuming the purple cyclops was Flogg, for example
>>11621169>Then all the non stop Snake hatingYou reap what you sow. You thought it couldn't get worse than Snakes, and now you will live to see Axel made horrors beyond your comprehension.
>>11621158>Post some pictures.Alrighty.>>11621172>post the minicomic.Shall I post here or do a brief read along on /co/?
>>11621189Here's the paint issue. I'm sure it's just an isolated issue on mine, but if you see multiple on the shelf be sure to compare them.
>>11621190>how's the robe, restricting?Not even slightly. A very pliable material and fairly thin. They gave the shoulders plenty of clearance without it gapping.
>>11621190>>11621189Best case would be to combine all the pages into one image, otherwise let's just go /co/
>>11621191
>>11621193The figure actually works well without the robe too.
>>11621196Ankles are a little restricted.
>>11621197For anyone that might be interested for how the robe works on other figures. You could keep the harness on for CC He-Man (or Faker in this case), if you're willing to stretch the robe a bit.
>>11621200Definitely won't stretch over the 200X harness though.
>>11621196Awesome pics.Can you put robe on other people. I want to see if it looks like one of boxer robes or perhaps a nightobe or bahrobe.
>>11621200>>11621204>>11621205You work fast, lol.
>>11621196CC Count Morzo should be an easy cash grab with this. He better come with Eternia Flowers
>>11621205I don't really wanna spend all afternoon part-swapping figures around. I picked the two that I did to give a general idea.If there is a specific figure, and I have it in my collection I can do that one.In the mean time I'll be over in /co/ doing the read along. If other anons want to join and turn it into a general MOTU discussion, that'd be great.
Comic here>>151223410
>>11621227>>>/co/151223410Let's try that again.
>>11621227>>11621229Don't feel bad. I've been here about 15 years and I still can never remember how to cross-post.
>>11621236You can post the full link and the site will shorten it for you
>>11621239Like so?>>>/co/151223410
>>11621255Well hot dog. I'll be remembering that.
>>11621200This is kind of cool. Reminds me of Mark Taylor’s Prince Adam sketch where he wasn’t He-Man’s disguise. He had shifty loyalties and sounded like he could be troublesome compared to Randor.
>>11620951>>11620936>>11620933That is kind of lame imo. I am all for new figures but the design isn't that good imo.Why can't we get >>11621006 instead?
CC Dragoon and Dree Elle 2-pack when?
>>11621341there is a lot of sexual energy here
>>11620629>OCs created by our good friend AxelSo a lazy rule 63 Webstor and a fat girlboss. You suck at character design Axel, please stop.
>>11621144>I thought it was the blue wolf monster from the Grayskull dungeon grate.That would of been awesome, so no have this literal who from Axel's sketchbook instead thanks for the subscription fee anons.Sincerely Mattel
>>11621173>Supposedly it's this guy in the dungeon of Grayskull.If they do combine these two concepts and include an alternate head without the stupid mask this rando will be redeemable.

Given that Mattel gets the DC license back next year, we have discussed the potential for cross-over, the question I have is would you want the DC heroes to lean savage or technological in their armour? Or a mix? Like a barbarian Superman, and a sci-fi Batman. Me personally, not matter what happens I just really want Batman in armour akin to this. Which is from the Total Justice line (great figures) and I think draws inspiration from the armour Bats wears in the Batman vs. Predator comic. Which goddamn imagine a Predator crossover, that'd be something.
Remember in "Clash of Arms" when Skeletor had generic human minions who were gladiator fans?
>>11621529Marvel and DC are currently doing crossovers in the comics.
>>11621516And all of those ideas are great for parts reuse so Mattel will keep loving him for them.I think the only question if Tarangela and Succubug looked worse in Axel designs or in actual comic.Also why Red Shadow and Black Wizard arent even Red and Black? Was trichromacy not invented yet in Preternia?
>>11621531>Marvel and DC are currently doing crossovers in the comics.>Checks out some titles.>Just smush some brands together.I remember the same thing from back when, only with actual plot and consequences. Dark Horse Comics did that to perfection.
>>11621516Literally where did these characters show up before now?>>11621566If Mattel moves parts reuse so much why no Fuerza T...
>>11621529
>>11621523>DC heroes to lean savage or technological in their armour? Or a mix?Some other people mentioned this in the last thread but New Gods Jack Kirby aesthetic would be amazing but I doubt it would ever happen.
>>11621649>Literally where did these characters show up before nowA couple showed up in Classics minicomics, but otherwise nowhere outside of Axel's concept art for planned Classics figures that never saw the light of day.
>>11621649Most of them either started in Origins or got concept art in CLassics but were never made.Maybe they were mentioned in Classics bios and few appeared in Classics minicomics.Because point of pars reuse is saving time and money and getting licence to use Fuerza-T would be counterproductive to that.Yet another shit we'll never see again because likely profit doesn't justify effort so companies dont care.Why get rights to an obscure fan-favorite when you can use popular characters you already own or just make new ones?
>>11621576
>>1162166110 minutes in.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltPpuFFed2k
>>11621672I'm not trying to be a crab in a bucket but I never got the appeal of He-ro. He's too much of a plucky lucky go hero clean shaven average dude to fit either the barberian prehistory or wizard aesthetic. He should have been something like this. I guess they were going for a Luke and Obiwan thing?
>>11621660Because Fuerza T looks cool.
>>11621650remember when Shera was created because the Barbie division was jealous of he-man's success
>>11621649I brought this up to some of the Mattel team at SDCC. It’s the grayest of areas. Mattel sued them to stop making them back in the day. It’s been long enough but they’re not going to go and make it themselves now is a bad look. If they were to make them at all, they’d have to be called something else. Or they might have to be called a variant such as Havok Powered Clawful, Avian Power Webstor, Power Sword Mer-Man or Wasteland Fisto. No one has legal expertise but they weren’t sure if it would undo anything from the lawsuit or open them to be countersued. Top Toys probably wouldn’t care but they could also try something since they are technically working on a reboot and cartoon for Fuerza T. That said it’s been 5-6 years they’ve been working on this. Axel has drawn them on some box art before but he said to Mattel legal it’s really Clawful, Mer-Man and Webstor standing there. The one guy did say they’d be the easiest part swap figs they’ve designed.
If they continue PoG next year with the same format as this year, it basically guarantees that, at best, it will be Eldor + two shitters and, at worst, it will be three shitters.
>>11621715The Filmation people said they created She-Ra.It's fuzzy when the Barbie division took over toy design. Justine Dantzer, the first PoP toy designer, was told to start with the heroine being Teela's twin sister instead of He-Man's, which predates the work Larry DiTillio is credited by Lou Scheimer and J. Michael Straczynski as doing at Filmation (creating Adam's twin sister, the Sword of Protection, Hordak and the Horde, etc), which would indeed have the Barbie division being where it started.
>>11620548Merfren's most legendary rival...
>>11620416I wonder if anon knows...
>>11621756We already know one shitter, Not-so-great purple whizzer.Random guess, we're getting bottom guys next.
>>11621660>Because point of pars reuse is saving time and money and getting licence to use Fuerza-T would be counterproductive to that>He says, despite the fact that mattel did just that with Sun Man
What are the comments on Club Gayskull like over Red Shadow? Are they slopping it up or upset enough to post Simpsons memes?>>11621814Where's my boy Golden Rod?
>>11621814Axel's ocs confound me because they all seem like pastiches of the existing cast. >GBL = Skeletor>Lady Slither = Evil Lyn / King Hiss>Fang-Or = Kobra Khan>Red Shadow = BeastmanEtc.I like the idea of preternia and the whole ancient war angle, but alot of the designs are really undercooked.
>>11621834>upset enough to post Simpsons memes?As the person that posted the Simpsons meme, I can honestly say I'm not upset. I was expecting GBW, but this is even funnier.
>>11621687there's really no room for He-Ro while He-Man is around, plus he needs longer hair.
>>11621814I feel special hate for "Preternia's Man-At-Arms, who had one Horde Trooper leg".
>>11621856>there's really no room for He-Ro while He-Man is around,Well yeah. His role is to be heroic in the past, when they'd established King Hiss comes from.Wizard heroes work better back then than He-Man types since the story has an established ending that includes magical banishment.
>>11621813Man, forgot Mattel did the figs for this show. Loved watching it as a kid, but the only thing we ever got as toys was the snake basher vehicle. Hope Mattel runs out of ideas and visits this IP, maybe then we can get the Slime Pit.
>>11621879that's what I was saying, except the only times we've seen He-Ro are when He-Man's gone back in time. I really wish we could see them swap places- He-Man and Skeletor bringing tech back in time and He-Ro being stuck in the future with no idea how to use it.
>>11621756>>11621814I am hoping for Plasmar eventually. I hope they don't forget him. He is Preternia too, I think?>>11621813Thats funny I was thinking about those in my head when writing that up, like 'I think theres a toyline similar to this already..'
>>11621907He's not.He's Clamp Champ's old friend and is apparently from the time of "King He-Man"
>>11621585Yeah but you're missing a crucial detail. Marvel and DC comics suck now.
>>11621916Holy shit, dude, that resolution is total ass. Here's a copy that doesn't give you a stroke when trying to read it.
Spoilers for 2026, expect PoG Great Black Wizard, Eldor, and Mighty Spector, everyone's favorite characters.
>>11621996I hope they make Spector without Scott's approval or involvement and use the bio to turn him into a complete joke/loser character.
>>11622019They should make him one of GBW's minions that travels through time to steal credit for great deeds done by others.
>>11621996>Mighty SpectorThat would be one hell of a redemption arc for Daddy Mattel.>>11622038>steal credit for great deeds done by othersThat is my head cannon characterization of He-Ro. He just looks so fucking smug and useless.This is probably an unpopular opinion but I think all the Preternia stuff is half baked and never went into production in the 80s for good reason. He-Ro and Eldor make sense to bring back out of the mothballs more for their infamy as lost characters, than the strength of the design.But they failed to launch back then, and now this concept of Preternia is supposed to be the rocket fuel for all these other characters....but they more boringer than the "A Lister." Yeeesh.Right now my current Motu want list is>Snake Clamp Champ once he hits clearance>Skell Ra once the scalper bring him up here to leaf land>Sketch SyKlone once the scalpers are selling him up hereThat's bad for Mattel. This is coming from someone who was buying litteraly everything despite the shipping costs or the scalper taxes. you could say my enthusiam has been struck by the Diamond ray of Disappearance.
