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.

>>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?

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.
>>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.
>>11621916>>11621898Aren’t these part of those Crybaby.org bios? I know there was a while were a few of them were doing them and they were ok’d by Mattel but who knows if those people are still there. I thought this new team was trying to make their own canon. They changed Wun-Dar as being pretty much the Oo-Lar til he got the armor in the comic. Plasmar was shown to be in Preternia in his card art. He-Ro was back to being Grey til he met Eldor. Sharella was the trainer of He-Ro. It seems like they’re going back to the old story instead of the Nutlick trash. Kudos to the team for trying to do better.
>>11621814Is it wrong to want Gladiator and Bandwidth?
>>11622149I do like Bandwidth. He feels like something that would have come out in the later era and his techy design fits with Rio Blast and Dragstor. His ye olde wireless radio inspiration also fits with Fearless Photog as another type of analog technology in figure form.I'm not really a fan of Gladiator. His techy design fits in with that era of figures, but he kind of feels half baked, like there was no thought as to what his purpose is. But both are preferable to Red Shadow.
>>11621820Well the difference is that I don't think Olmec Toys is in business anymore, so the license was probably dirt cheap, as opposed to Top Toys who are still aroundBut the irony in that is that Sun-Man had way more brand new tooling than Fuerza-T would require, apart from Platino's beard I think it was all just straight redecos
>>11622062>That would be one hell of a redemption arcIn what way would propagating Scott's self-insert bullshit be a redemption?
>>11622317I skipped a few trains of thought to get here but I would love to see public domain heroes and pulp heroes in MotU somehow. The specter was a shit way to do it though. (Hes clearly 90s phantom.) Especially Flash Gordon.
>>11622332>Hes clearly 90s phantomNah, he's Deadpool with the teleportation harness, but with the stupid ace of spades thing. It is the most generic 90s Liefield knock-off ever. It clashes with the rest of the brand aesthetic, there is no way it could ever fit in.
ok. Im getting twitchy. Are getting trailer for movie this year or not?
>>11622075The Plasmar one is his official Classics bio from his boxart(But I will concede that it was during Super7 years, and Super7 had hired two .Org fanfic writers to do bios, but it was still the bio of the official release)>Plasmar was shown to be in Preternia in his card artI think you mean Lord Grasp's...and Lord Grasp is also shown to be a current year character rather than a PoG character in his minicomic and the Snake Mountain box despite Megator being on his card art. And just for the record, I'm not saying you're definitely wrong, Plasmar could wind up Preternian, but I don't think we have anything strong enough to go on to make that claim.
>>11622317I like Scott. His lorefagging was cringe but the guy did a great job with Classics in general. You can just turn the box over and not read the bios.As for Specter himself, I dont like nerds who try and police what's "real" Motu or not. We already had ninjas, time travel, and by the later waves Motu had already lost the shared parts aesthetics. Anyone hating on MS for that is just being bitter they didn't to make Motu toys.
>>11622339>clashes with the rest of the brand aesthetic, there is no way it could ever fit in.So do PoP designs and NA designs but they're constantly begged for to be included. Just saying. Let's be honest. We just hate Spector because we hate Spector, the same way we hate most of the Axelshit. We don't need to reach for justifications like "it clashes".
>>11622339I mean yeah but he took the purple and and spectre from the Phantom. It's so stupid I started to like it ironically then the irony went away... but I also have 0 memory of the 2010 fandom because I was way more of a casual who just bought random shit because it looked cool and have no memory of Scott and his bullshit. Lmao fucking holy shit I was going to post a picture then I found out his name is John Spector. Wait he's a fucking time traveler?! What the fuck it's so stupid. Chris Chan made more fitting OCs. But Iits so stupid I kind of like it something is wrong with me.
I would kill to see Rob Liefelds take on Heman characters. Hemans harness could just be all pouches.
>>11622469>>11622447>>11622358For me it's the fact you can tell it's an OC for something completely unrelated. It was Scott's drawing as a kid for Superheroes or something. Or at least once you know you know. But it's really funny. Scott got that ficking contest winners Fearless Photog to become real after Mattel screwed him over so hes not all bad.
>>11622344According the hemania, test screenings for the movie are happening today
>>11622534>I would kill to see Rob Liefelds take on Heman characters.It would just look like >>11622532
>>11622332I would totally be down for it. Someone years ago made a Flash Gordon custom and it looked awesome. When researching the look he used the Mattel 4” toyline design which made it a bit cooler in my book. He also did their Beastman figure painting an armor less LOP Beastman and it looked great as well.
MotU movie test screenings are Today
>>11622576>Not enough pouches >Muscles are too small>Muscles dont have pouches >I can see his feet>No ankle pouches 0/10
>>11622592>>11622556Apparently people who saw the film said it's "amazing". No actual details givenTake that for whatever you think it's worth
This topic kinda got touched on a little when Red Shadow actually got revealed, but I want to ask directly:Everyone here who subscribed to Club Grayskull: Will you renew next year?
>>11622842Yeah, but I'm more excited for the snake lair than I am the subscription. I don't like masterverse or most of the crossovers but if the character looks cool, I'll probably get them.
>>11622835>people who saw the film said it's "amazing".>Take that for whatever you think it's worthI've said it before and I'll say it again. I think it's really important that we go in with the mind set to judge the film by its own merits. Not go in expecting a perfect translation of the Filmation cartoon, or 200X, or CGI, or the Mini-comics. Just decide is it a good film that manages to capture the essence of MOTU.
>>11622447I can deal with the lore-fagging, I think it's actually admirable to try and make every single part of the franchise work together so it's all canon (like how Grant Morrison managed to make Batman of Zurr-En-Arrh modern canon). What bugs me is how Scott carries himself as being the final word on MOTU, and also that he was the reason MOTUC never went to general retail because Scott convinced the higher ups that the brand wouldn't work. Regardless of whether he was right, MOTUC being a Matty Collector only line meant that the whole series became really difficult to collect and are now stupidly expensive.As for the Might Spector, I don't fault the guy for wanting to put himself into MOTU in some way, and when he put his face on the Eternian Guard that's cool, that's the kind of fun trivia where someone would say "oh and they based the facesculpt on the guy running the line" and you'd think "well good for him", but the fact that he shoe-horned his donut steel into MOTU and then made him one of those "you never see them, but this guy is actually one of the most important characters in the whole lore" is odious, and it's not the first time he did it too, he tried shoving it into Hot Wheels as well.All that said, despite the impression writing all this out may give, Scott and Spector don't occupy all that much real-estate in my brain, it's a tiny little footnote in the giant tome of MOTU. I just don't think Spector should exist outside of MOTUC, and sure as shit shouldn't get an Origins figure given how Scott seemed to be almost pushing for Origins to fail.
>>11622911>he tried shoving it into Hot Wheels as wellDid we nearly get an actual Spectormobile?
>>11622842No. Not unless they give us a list of whose coming and what release date. And its not just the figures, the other "perks" where extremely underwhelming. The teenagers at the mall made fun of my members exclusive He-ro shirt and didnt't even comment on my Despara hat and Sy Klone mug.Maybe the message board is a really good community but my guy tells me it would be toyfag autistism (myself included) mixed with more moderation beause its the Offical board. Doesn't sound like a place where one could sperg about their head cannon connecting the Galaxy Hole to Brave Starr.
>>11622911Didn't Scooter say that his face on the guard's body was the Horsemens' idea and that he was surprised as well?I don't defend any of his creative ideas. He seems like a good guy, passionate about his toys for sure. And I think that he had heart to steer the Motu brand when it was dormant. We could debate if it should have been a collector line or not...but with the way Mattel bungled Origins and its now mostly online anyways leaves us in the same position.As for why I want the Spector in Origins...honestly it comes from the same place as being OK with He-Ro and Eldor even if I don't love the designs. They are infamous in Motu history. And I think that weird in jokes like that are good fodder for an online collector only release.
>>11623033>The teenagers at the mall made fun of my members exclusive He-ro shirt and didnt't even comment on my Despara hat and Sy Klone mug.
>>11622911>you never see them, but this guy is actually one of the most important characters in the whole lore" is odious, and it's not the first time he did it too, he tried shoving it into Hot Wheels as well.Lmao how did he add an OC like that to fucking Hot Wheels?
What makes him so evil? What'd he fucking do you goddamn judgemental pricks.
>>11623165He runs on Grok AI.
>>11623165He steals toilet paper rolls from public restrooms, the fiend!

>LEAVE EVIL-BOTNEY ALONE
>"I talked to somebody who has seen He-Man. Who has seen it in its early stages and they said 'It's Amazing". And this isn't somebody who's got any dog in it. This isn't somebody that has anything to benefit from it. They said it's amazing. They said they were totally shocked. Completely surprised. But they said it's amazing."https://he-mania.com/2025/11/its-amazing-john-campea-has-talked-to-someone-who-has-seen-the-new-masters-of-the-universe-movie/
>>11623165This guy is more evil than Skeletor, Hordak, and King Hiss rolled into one. Rue the day Mattel actually releases him, collectors are not prepared for the sheer evil he will unleashed upon his fellow figures.
>>11623263and my dad works at nintendo btw
>>11623274John Campea is a reliable source who has connections at every studio but you do you man
>>11623294>>11623263Hollywood is so bad right now every compliment is going to sound like a shill lol. Especially when we havent even seen a trailer and then dude doesnt even explain why. I cant let myself get excited by any movie hype anymore. It all goes to the 'mite b cool' part of my brain at most. Things do get overhated too though so you have to watch out for that as well.
The new MotU is shit they didnt even ask me for a part. All the roles went to fucking cgi green cats and meat puppets.t. Evil Robot
>>11623165He approves the figures of Axel's OC donutsteels.
>>11623165>evil warriors>3 horde logos
>>11620160
>>11622447>Anyone hating on MS for that is just being bitter they didn't to make Motu toys.No he sucked and so does Spector. It's just a lazy purple Deadpool knockoff from his own childhood drawing that he decided to include in what was supposed to be an OC designer series for guest artists/fans. If you like Spector for some reason I don't understand that's obviously fine, to each their own, but there are perfectly legitimate criticisms of both Scott's management of the brand and his creative contributions that aren't just bitter jealousy.
>>11623328>He approves the figures of Axel's OC donutsteels.
>>11622911I don’t know, he might attract the Deadpool crowd that could save Origins at retail. At the time of Classics you might have had neckbeards, comic shop dwellers and unfortunate girlfriends recognize him. Now my elderly neighbors across the street know who Deadpool is since their grandchildren love him and dress like him for Halloween.
>>11622952>Did we nearly get an actual Spectormobile?He just added the name Spector onto a basic Hot Wheels car and one of the other experimental lines Hot Wheels were doing at the time.
How do Formo Toys look with Origin toys? I'm kind of tempted to get them because Warriors of the Galaxy but they look a lot more like vintage toys. Also the price sucks here.
>>11623231Planning his vengeanceThat he will soon unfurl
Another Red Shadow tease that shows part of his face
>>11623052>He seems like a good guy, passionate about his toys for sure.Any criticism I have of Scott are entirely on his professional decisions and how he acts as a public facing figure. I don't know the guy personally, and so I have nothing to say in that regard.>he had heart to steer the Motu brand when it was dormant. We could debate if it should have been a collector line or notOn this though I emphatically disagree, sure MOTUC could have been intended for an adult fanbase, but it absolutely should have been on store shelves, even if those shelves were only in places like comic stores. >...but with the way Mattel bungled Origins and its now mostly online anyways leaves us in the same position.In what way has Mattel bungled Origins? Legitimately, because to me the line has been pretty successful, it just sucks that whole toy industry is in shit right now because the intended market of children under 12 are more interested in phones and video games. Adults buying for themselves have become the primary toy purchasers.
When you think about it, MotU has consistently had some kind of presence for over 20 years, even if not a retail presence.>2002 line hits>Lasts two, maybe three(?) years>Neca "finishes" line with mini statues over the course of another two or three years>That takes us to 2008 and the start of Classics >Lasts until 2016, then Super7 picks up the ball and goes til 2020 >No sooner does Super7 finish up with Snake Mountain, but Mattel issues the first wave of Origins>And that leads us to todayThe gap between NA and 200x is the only significant MotU drought

>>11623589This guy is an instant preorder because I loved Return to Oz as a kid.
>>11623612I found out there were vinyl toys from that from Japan and they are so expensive now and not worth it. Now I'm going to have to buy this Dragstor too.
>>11623612What does Dragstor have to do with return to oz by disney?
>>11623663The wheels on his hands are reminiscent of the design of the Wheelers. I don't think he has wheels on his feet, but if was enough to make me think of the Wheelers when I saw him.
Nothing exciting in the five page preview for Sword of Flaws issue 2Two pages of flashback to Adam meeting Cringer for some reason, one page of Orko doing his act, one page of Mekaneck getting dragged in to tell them about the purple power sword and one page of "let's go see the Sorceress".
>>11622835>>11623305I swear, every forum I goes to has that one guy who just says about things "I liked it!" about every single thing and doesn't elaborate. Then someone complains about pacing or tone, and he'll be like "I didn't mind that" Good for you, bud, but damn you're adding nothing to the conversation.>>11623052I'd only take Spector if it means we'll getting other 5, Grayskull Man, Draego-Man, Cy-Chop, Laser-Lot and Photog.>>11622911If he's to believed, making Photog wasn't his idea. They were planning 6 new characters, 2 from contests and other 4 were going to be made by some big names. Thing is no one except for Geoff Johns wanted to do it. No interest, no time and most importantly, not for free. And since they wanted them to be passion projects (and you know, not pay) eventually they just picked people working on MOTU to come up with Draego-Man and Cy-Chop and of course, Spector. And Scott apparently got idea from Geoff to just use character you made up as kid.
>>11623681very based post. I wouldn't mind a Spector only because we now have 2 seperate dungeons to lock him up in. Photog and the rest of the fanmade 6 are all really cool dudes, so, do it. The movie will be good, not great, as revealed to me in a dream.
>>11618637This is a longshot, not sure of you're still lurking. But git any other good 1/12 bikes you recommend?Pic related is the figma fate cuirass. Know nothing of the source material but this is probably my favourite.
>>11623588Eh, kinda underwhelming. I dont like the head and the mask just doesnt pop but i do like despara and ill take what i can get.
>>11623588>tell the artist to put shittons of out Horde trooper behind her so maybe someone buys one of our overpriced mega figsWe're on to you, Mattel
>>11623590Hopefully the mask is removable.
>>11623782To be fair, the mv trooper is a great heavy unit if you're making an origins horde army.
>>11623759I'm not sure how well it's for a MotU guy
Is that concept art Dragon Lord with Drago Man?
>>11623943Who wants this?
>>11623576>5poa>off to ROSS they go
>>11621384>>11621187>>11623943Yea, it's him alright. Head canon my ass. That blue grey fur and magenta face paint isn't just a coincidence.
>>11621187Wow you got blown the fuck out
>>11621187>Fans are like that. They don't recognize something and instead of just accepting they don't recognize it: )
>>11623997>different fangs>different snout>different eye colors>different hand colorsThe only things shared here are their primary colors.
>>11623782Is this the first time they put actual figures on the box? I swear they always just use generic characters or generic vintage-like designs only for people to go nuts for "New Eternia Evil-Lyn teased on Bone Throne" or something.
>>11623997No that’s a different guy. It’s from Frog Monger’s card. There was a similar wolf guy as one of the Masks of Power demons who was supposed to be in the next collector wave of Super 7’s Classics. Maybe they could easily make the wolf guy now since he would almost be a new head, new forearms and different calf parts.
Counterpoint: Fuck MOTU official canon and if you want Red Shadow to be Dungeon Wolf, he can Dungeon Wolf.
>>11624038While true, that requires anyone to want Red Shadow, and who does?
>>11624038Problem is he looks too fucking gay, and not savage and evil like dungeon monster should. Even if I wanted him for that purpose, he's not good enough.And if it's Mattels intention they be same, well, they ruined what could've been a cool figure. GG, Matty
>>11624043What is he even a shadow of? Is he even red?
>>11623165It says right in the picture. He acts as mecha-muscle to back up Skeletor on his wicked crusades!
>>11623759nah, I really wish I could tell you the trapjaw cycle was good but it barely fits a female figure. Those are my only motorcycles. Try the barbie movie RC car if you want something fun.
>>11623946>>11623943he's kinda cutebut the printing of his snout and eyes looka a bit odd in terms of contrasti would have liked the more piggy/mole snout of the dungeonmonster morealso furriesfurries into motu will like this>>11624081>>11623929thanks man, apreciate itma6be i should pull the trigger on a roadripper finally too
>>11623165I messaged James Etock if he had any updates on what he’s doing with the lost mini comic art for him he purchased for him. Never got a response and I don’t think he’s really announced anything since he posted the cover.

>>11621189He's the BK King! Guess his wife wanted a Whopper
>>11624266>>11624267>>11624269Honestly, most of the Filmation stuff I can kinda dig, or just ignore, but the one thing I genuinely loathe is them turning Battle Cat into Cringer. It's not endearing, it's not funny, it's just a shitty hold-over from 60s/70s era animation that was trying to rip-off Hanna-Barbera with the cowardly/bumbling mascot character.The CGI series did something good with the name, but I still hate it.Also holy shit this art and that face. What is this from?
>>11624273Preview for Sword of Flaws #2
>>11623943your 5 year old daughter after discovering mommy's make-up kit
>>11624275I've checked out some of the other comics this guy has drawn, I really can't tell if I like this guy's art. It reminds me of Dreamwave Transformers comics.
>>11623305>>11623681Not gonna deny that it's frustrating just hearing reactions with no details, but everyone that has seen the test screenings is probably NDA'd out the wazoo. So they can give a reaction but can't say anything they saw, because if one of them says "oh man, Skeletor has this great line where he says [...]" and then that line gets cut for whatever reason then some asshole is gonna try suing for false advertising. Which has no merit, but it's still a hassle for the legal team.
>>11623943I wish he looked determined, fierce, something instead of slackjawed, but I'll just keep the mask on him. I like the concept though, glad to have some characters to use as random background Eternians.
>>11624270THEY TOOK HIS HELMET OFF
>>11623943
>>11623943That slack jawed headsculpt is hard to look at. It turns out that taking off the mask really was extremely painful.
>>11624266>>11624267>>11624269>>11624270I can't put my finger on it but this art is really unappealing to me. None of it has any "weight" to it like its all just different computer sketches assumbled together instead of a drawn scene. And none of them are making expressions like a real human woul make.Can anyone else explain what I'm seeing? I am not an art critic but I know what I like.>what I like is lewd AI Madam Razz
>>11623943When presented with lackadaisical new characters with no *real* connection to anything Motu, I have to ask myself>Would I care about owning this guy if was from a random knock off line?What would you do Anons?
>>11623943Why is this guy allowed to have feet but they never ever gave Beastman any?
>>11623945>Mesoamerican inspires uinsNeat. If only Axel was talented to give us cool OCs based on shit like that and not a blue wolf
>>11624572I was just lamenting how his feet are the wrong color for Beastman and looks to feral to be Stratos.
>>11624510My eyes says it looks boring and uninspired which is even worse than being straight up bad.
>>11623997Ignoring how Red Shadow is denable how many other dungeon monsters got toys besides the Frog?
>>11624606*debatable
How's it going /motu/ ? Board's been kinda slow. Thought of a holiday themed three pack at work recently. Dont have anything in mind for He-man yet beyond making him the Christmas representation of the three. Thought I'd share this anyways. Hope you guys enjoy it.
>>11624616The Christmas special randomly airing on teletoon for Christmas in 2006 is what got me back into Heman. I wish we got stupid bullshit Halloween and Christmas repaints like Star Wars does.
>>11624606Someone argued last year that the skeleton 2pack, powercon tentacle monster, and jake the snake's MotWWEU snake counted as 3
>>11624624People shit talk the filmation series but its the writing in things like that special that make me love it. There's nothing quite like it.
>>11623997He we go, Axel chimed in on the wolf and Red Shadow are separate creatures.
>>11623576I don't know what they were thinking. Why update the line if you're not even going to upgrade the articulation like Origins? The license can't be that expensive, who knows maybe Mattel will make their own Origins versions someday.
>>11623589Imagine messing with Dragstor's sick cyborg helmet by replacing parts with tusks of all things.Is this supposed to be a motorhead hommage? You don't get normal faces right most of the time, so don't add retarded shit that ultimately takes away from the character. At least with Roboto I could throw away the pointless extra face plate. Fuck!
>>11624713They already had to mod the designs after initial reveal because they were too close to the unreleased MOTU designs. They prefer vintage style and it was cheaper than doing modern updates. Likely after the first visit from the mattel IP enforcement lawyers they feared being even more direct competition with mattel's lines by switching from retro to modern articulation
>>11624669>He we go, Axel chimed in on the wolf and Red Shadow are separate creatures.I wonder why he decided to copy the color palette then? Seems redundant if were hopefully going to see the Dungeon Wolf someday.
>>11623576Right out the gate they messes up Baltard's iconic disappoint face. It's like releasing a new MotU series but with Keldor instead of Skeletor. What's even the point?
>>11623943Damn, he looks like a pussy and that fur necklace isn't helping. I guess my Club Grayskull fee just ended up being a more expensive He-Ro after all. Good scam Mattel, and yes I'll sign up one more time for Eldor. >>11623945>Is that concept art Dragon LordNow this guy looks cool, I hope he comes with the hook hand from the concept art.
MotU trailer will be out either next Monday or at Brazil Comic Con in December.
More info from test screenings, they were positive:On the source of this information :>"My source was a mega fan. A mega fan from being a child and they were pretty much looking forward to seeing this movie. They were very much looking forward to what Travis Knight could deliver."On the comedy in the “Masters of the Universe”:>"-they just said categorially the movie is pretty entertaining but it leans very heavy into the comedy. So I guess in the atmosphere in everything being dark and dower, that might be a shock to some people. But it's very entertaining. Very comedic. They lean very heavy into the comedy factor, which I quite like the sound of that. I think that sounds pretty cool to be fair. It leans very heavy into comedy. There is a lot of humor in this movie resulting in the tone feeling much lighter than expected."On the emotion in “Masters of the Universe”:>"The movie does have plenty of heart."On the film’s action:>"There is a lot of action in this movie. Not only that. There is very impressive fight choreography apparently." "The sword choreography is fantastic."On the Movie’s Designs (Character and More):>"Character designs? Very faithful to the toys. Very faithful to the toys, right down to the weapons and the vehicles" "It feels like a true cinematic translation of the original designs, from the costumes to the sets"On Prince Adam being on Earth:>"There is a satisfying reason why (Adam) is on Earth. What I know of it, it's not a massively contrived reason for him being on Earth." "There are some very comedic elements about his earthly lifestyle."On Nicholas Galitzine as He-Man:>"Nicholas Galitzine looks great as He-Man and Adam, apparently, so that's good obviously"
>>11624790On Jared Leto as Skeletor:>"Apparently Jared Leto is great as Skeletor. My source said that he's basically channeling a Tim Curry. Almost a cross between Frank-N-Furter from Rocky Horror (Picture Show) and Darkness from Legend" "Practical effects? His face is CGI, so I will reveal that, but apparently it's really good"On references to Highlander:>"There's also a few references to the movie Highlander, apparently, including an action sequence set to Queen's "Princes of the Universe".On the film’s Easter Eggs:>"There's ton of easter eggs for fans including references to internet memes."On the entire audience’s reaction to “Masters of the Universe:>"Basically my source really enjoyed the film. Judging by the reception of everyone else, so this is important, it was received like really positively. Pretty much everyone at the screening liked it." It's basicallly potential to be a massive hit. The crowd seemed to love it.""It felt like it won people over."
>>11624669Axel is fucking baltarded.
>>11624616I took a break from MotU for a year so I'm unboxing stuff from last year trying to find all the PoP characters I can.
>>11624809
Please dont tell me these are Axel OC too. I never seen them before now. How do you make space cowboys so boring?No giant sombrero filled with laser turrets? No sentient cactus? No native American dude with like laser tomahawks? No cowgirl? Just Master Chief Zorak, Star Fox man and silver Ironman? Fuck this guy. And if it's not Axel fuck that other guy. I mean justuse bright colors or something fuck I dont know. I'm quit my bitching now but I really dont like this Axel feller.
>>11624791>Apparently Jared Leto is great as Skeletor. My source said that he's basically channeling a Tim Curry. Almost a cross between Frank-N-Furter from Rocky Horror (Picture Show) and Darkness from Legend"I said a few threads ago we literally just need actors hamming it up and having fun!
>>11624791>references to internet memes."I'm scared.
>>11624790>My source was a mega fan. A mega fan from being a child and they were pretty much looking forward to seeing this movie.I dont want to a debbie downer but I've seen superfans play Revelations on repeat on Netflix to boost the viewer numbers and I dont trust 40 year old normalfag senses of humor. But I'm cautiously optimistic.
>>11624790>>11624791$1 billion box office. Screencap thiz.
>>11624273Hard disagree, Cringer is great and adds a lot to Battlecat
>>11623997>>11624011Now who's blown the fuck out?>>11624669
>>11623165He moonlights as a Hot Wheels and Pokemon CCG scalper
>>11624830Defend your position.I put it to you that Cringer being a cowardly character used for comic relief comes across more as annoying than entertaining (though this is an issue with a lot of cartoons from that era), it also doesn't add to Battle Cat because the courage comes from being magically imbued, not through genuine character growth. Now a lot of this is because of the format, He-Man was designed to be syndicated and extremely episode, so character growth is basically non-existent in the original series. But that also means that Cringer never improves, it's literally just the same joke for every episode. I also maintain that making Cringer/Battlecat talk at all was a mistake, but that's a separate issue.Now all the being said the CGI series actually does something interesting with the character. Having the name Cringer be an insult given to him by R'Qazz, that he instead wears as a title of defiance is far more interesting. The CGI series actually manages to take basically every element introduced in the Filmation series that I hate, and make it work.
>>11624818If they're referencing memes, and if Leto is channeling Frank N Furter, there is a real possibility Skeletor will tell Beast Man to take his drawers off and work his legs, open his ass up like a keg
>>11624624A He-Man and She-Ra Halloween Special with Horde members as classic monsters would have been amazing.
>>11624814I'm pretty sure those were just the creations of the illustrator of that minicomic. The majority of "Axel's designs" are designed with the mindset of being action figures that utilise the parts library.
>>11624510How does Doink fit into your MotU collection?I don't watch wrestling, so I'm not familiar with his canon personality.
>>11624280>I have aids..Beastman AidsMattel could have turned this around if he came with chocolate goo squirting action feature.
>>11623943>>11624426Mr. Beast Man.
>>11624280I just realized he reminds me of Savage Nobel from Beast Machines of all things.
>>11624947Good question. He doesn't really other than having the same body as Origins so he scales perfectly. I got him because when we were kids there was this Super NES wwe games where you could pick Doink to play as. I used to pick him and troll my friend's older brother who couldn't handle the indignity of being beaten by a younger kid with a clown wrestler when he was older and was playing as a "real" one Hulk or the Undertaker.
>>11624821>>11624819>>11624815On one hand the future of MOTU hinges on the success of this movie. On the other, if it should succeed we'll end up with a Nu-Ra 2.0 situation where all the newfags enter the fray and try to claim MOTU as their own. There is no winning...
>>11625117post toys, retards are a constant

>>11625177Viva Mexico
>>11625177I get what you're saying, but I see this kind of discourse everywhere. We lost the ability to gatekeep. Social media has highlighted how absolutely retarded people actually are.I'm not looking forward to twitter brains discovering he-man. No one is. So let's enjoy the quiet now.
>>11625117>On the other, if it should succeed we'll end up with a Nu-Ra 2.0 situation where all the newfags enter the fray and try to claim MOTU as their own.No franchise can survive without attracting new fans, what's important is that the new fans adapt to MOTU, and not try changing MOTU to fit them. So long as the folks in charge keep things true it'll be fine. Everyone has to start somewhere, not everyone can start in the 80s watching He-Man on TV.We just have to gently correct any new fans that might say something stupid like "Revelation is probably the best version of He-Man."
>>11625184I'm still waiting on someone to bootleg Tung Lashor (always liked the off color Yugos) and Saurod. I guess their inner mechanics make it harder to knock off?
>>11625394is this an actual KO and not a custom? we probably have all the parts to make it now after ToG
Hello for Glyos!I made Buzz-Off a bee warhammer out of a Gobon, Bio-masters, and Weaponeer's of Monkaa parts.
>>11625426Neat. I approve
What's the likelihood of Mattel doing 200X Eternia minis, or is this line totally dead? I love these little guys.
>>11625434We haven't seen a mini since CGI and Rev, I think it's dead...But on the other hand, Minis originally came out during Classics and died, and Mattel dug them out and reissued them plus made some new ones so who knows, they might resurrect again
>>11625434They are doing bitty pops for motu in 2026 ahead of the movie if you like mini things, there will be a castle grayskull and landshark for those too. Something like pic related but motu.
>>11625434>>11625541Would be great if Mattel would greenlight MOTU micro playsets a la Jurassic World.Could be the perfect way to test run a Mighty Max revival.
>>11624669huh, why he say this the other day then? Weird.
>>11625603>>11624866REBUNKED
So will this guy be CGS exclusive or a sketch series figure?
>>11625541>They are doing bitty pops for motu in 2026 ahead of the movieAssuming they survive that long. That said, I would very much like a tiny Grayskull to sit on my desk.
So obviously my main priority as a collector is the figures. But I wish Mattel did more variety with their MOTU stuff in the way Toei does with Dragon Ball. I can go and get DB figures in all shapes and sizes, but they also do model kits, either the non-articulated Entry Grade stuff or Figure-rise Standard that can be posed, or there's the Banpresto stuff which is REALLY well painted, and yet doesn't. I can go and get a really nice mid-size statue that costs about 40 AUD (around 30 in USD). Where is all that stuff? These are un-tapped markets. Maybe I want a statue but don't want to pay for the Iron studio which cost 300 bucks, or the friggin Sideshow statues that cost almost three fucking grand.Is it too much to ask for a Pop-Up Parade statue of He-Man?
>>11625654They are not going under, trust me. Haters gonna hate, I like funko.
>>11625603What? I hope the other post is accurate, I still want the Wolf and any other Dungeon Bros to join Frog Monger's crew.
>>11625559I think they might do it in 2026, the movie will have a big line of different toys so I expect mattel brick shop, micro toys, statues, etc
>>11625725Hey Top Pops!!!
>>11625780Hey!!!
>>11625603Then why did he change it after posting it then and make that comment?REDEBUNKED
>>11625790Oh shit, it's a reference to classic literature? Wow that pumps him up a couple notches. If anyone complains about him its just because they are uncultured swine.>Count of Monte Cristo X MOTU?
>>11625380nta but to add to thati'm from 92i never really cared about 200x but LOVE og vintage stuff and originslike you said, the sort of atmospheric and emotional core of weird unselfaware buff barbarians duking it out is something that sets itself apart especially nowi really think thats something people can bank on now that regular superheroes is something people got tired off and dnd is now more popular>>11625426cool!
>>11625790Can someone please ask him why the fuck red shadow is blue
The most exciting thing about Glup Shadow's drop will be that it marks just 3 more weeks until Racecar Johnny...vroom vroom
>>11625896he blue himself
Did they ever complete vintage motu in origins besides the 2 huge guys?
>>11624809Ive just been getting a few creations figures but id like to get back in the motu saddle. Its just after collecting the line for so long ive lost the excitement.
>>11625897Give it 3-5 years
>>11625897Yo, I expect anons to post some Racewar Johnny comics when they get him in hand. Vroom.
>>11625932Yeah it partly came back because Japan Post wont ship to my country anymore so I was just looking for stuff to collect again. I dont know why I went back to MotU. I think the holidays remind me of she ra and the holiday special.I also love weird shit like the sketchbook series because I got really into concept art of Heman got me and deep cuts the battle ram blog guy posts about..
>>11626010Sketch book has been pretty nice. Idk about ss spikor though, an anon posted one where it broke in some way so im waiting on a sale before grabbing one.
Yeah, Im not feeling it boys. Fully black boot part looks lazy, Skeletor logo on He-Man harness doesn't work, 4cha
>>11626014It's just not coming up together well and it's still lest shitty figure in the wave.
>>11625928Vintahe is missing at least:>Laser Light He-Man>Laser Light Skeletor>Two Bad>Blast Attack>Stondar>Twistoid>Rotar>Saurod>Blade>Gwildor>Titus>MegatorMulti Bot and Dragstor, are coming soon.
>>11626014are the skirts/loincloth removeable on this buck?looks salvageable for some custom stuffbut the gray of his poincloth and legwarmers looks a bit strange unfinished.
>>11626014They should have flocked him
>>11626042>are the skirts/loincloth removeable on this buckYeah. And even if they weren't I'm pretty sure heating up any crotch makes the legs come out.
Apparently there is a battle scene in the movie and there are so many characters from the toyline, many unexpected that could create their own toyline in it, someone said "everyone is in it in some way, it's like they know this is their only chance ever for a big budget MotU film, so everyone is in it".
>>11625896He said it was due to that red stripe on his head and back. He imagined if it had been a vintage action feature it would be a color change like Hot Wheels where you splash hot or cold water on it or like vintage Joe Zartan where sunlight makes the stripe appear. Basically some of that 80s color change magic. >>11626055Yeah that’s what a few people were thinking but Moss Man was $40 so people already don’t like him at normal price. He does own a normal Classics custom and a flocked one.
>>11626074Doubt. The normie definition of "everyone" maybe, so the main cast and maybe 5 or 6 b-listers, but unless I see Twistoid in this bitch, it ain't "everyone"
>>11626029I think a lot of those will be rolled into different subsetsThe movie trio will probably be rolled into something for the movie. There’s been teasing of Karg and the movie trooper so they might join the party. The giants would be rolled into Powers of Grayskull. The laser power ones could be standalone. They could get rolled into the movie or they could wind up in Powers of Grayskull. I think nutlicker said they were part of those last mini comic details that never got produced. That leaves just those Spinner fucks, Two Bad, Blast Attak who would be soon since his parts are done, Stonedar who probably will be dragged out on Creations.
>>11626140>movie trooperI need this so bad in origins. Fuck Masterverse. Next year could be an insane one for MOTU, movie years could bring so much merchandise. Lightyear gave us more garbage than you could shake a stick at. If mega construx and half life 3 come out next year, I'll be at peace.
>>11626140>The movie trio will probably be rolled into something for the movie. There’s been teasing of Karg and the movie trooper so they might join the party.I honestly don't want that. I want them sold on the same type of card as all the rest of the vintage line like they were in the 80s just for the sake of consistency. I don't care if they save them for 2027 and say they're celebrating the movies anniversary, but don't do a rebrand for them to go with that. Karg and the movie troops can either go on the same regular vintage card or go in Sketchbook Series since they'd technically fit there as they had unproduced vintage toy concept art
>>11626141>>11626170Since those 3 were on red cards they should just have the sticker on the front. Hopefully they don’t make a movie type card if they make more figures. This was a drawing of the vintage Stormtrooper. Looked like it got far in the concept stage.
>>116263341988 was shaping up to be an interesting year with all the stuff we know was close to releaseHe-Ro and EldorStrobo and his cheap repaint friendsAnd Karg and the Storm Troopers
>>11625725This isn't speculation, that's coming from Funko themselves warning their investors that sales have been declining to the point where they may not continue after 2026.Speaking to retail staff myself, sales have been weakening given the rising cost of the Pops themselves, and theft is up.
Might as well post the Karg pics too
I guess where Blade had spring load arms, Saurod had sparks, and Storm Trooper would've had elbow and knee articulation as it's "feature", real hair would've been Karg's
>>11626362This is what I really want from Origins. Not endless variations of the main cast. Not lazy "new" characters. But taking stuff that already exists in Motu lore and making a 5.5" version of it.
>>11626097>He said it was due to that red stripe on his head and backSo he should be called Magenta Shadow then.
>>11626417It's not even a shadow it's an accent.
>>11626126Finally someone didn't forget about the Metorbs.
>this wave is still in stock on bbts and probably everywhere else>No one is buying it even at %80 off What the fuck did Mattel do
>>11626334>>11626362>>11626364these would both make incredible 3D print kits
>>11626014I have a suggestion...>Pop and swap the head and limbs onto a skeletor armor variant of your choice (dragon blaster, battle armor, etc)>profit
>>11626524answer: trademark mattel incompetence. they overproduced the fuck out of it.this seemingly was a reactionary decision made around 2020-2021, when covid (and some stimulus checks) caused a surge in consumer spending. this made mattel think it would be a good idea to make a few thousand excess Jitsus. this killed origins at retail and lead to the cartoon collection.
>>11626556also it probably hurt a lot of retailer's perception of MOTU. when asked about this wave shelf warming for YEARS and new product pretty much being a BBTS exclusive, the origins team could only say they were"waiting for old stock to be cleared out" before any new stuff could end up in stores.Meanwhile, retailers who I had never even seen carry origins figures before randomly started having the jitsu wave. And they would sit there and rot, too. Clearance or not. My local reseller toy store eventually had to just give theirs away with any purchase, which is funny when that same store had originally been scalping these figures when they first came out. The MOTU section at retail stores was big back then too- and these guys would get cleared out often. I know this because I used to check my local target and walmart almost every day. I'm very thankful this wave was seemingly all cleared off of shelves and taken to a landfill, because they were still there well into 2024 with packaging glue giving out.
>>11626564>>11626556>>11626524I will take this over Canada having infinite clamp champ and ram man
>>11626360Why did they delte all those posts then? The original source got deleted and funko said it's fake. If they go under then ehats the point to buy more funko?
>>11626126Well, it was a motu megafan who said it
>>11624273>holy shit this art and that face. What is this fromI wonder how much you can blame on the colorist Because the artist is the same guy that did the Thundercats crossover and I don't recall seeing people say the art was shit in that, but it had a noticeably darker palette, so I guess it could be the new colorist spoiling the art...or maybe the old artist was enhancing it and hiding its flaws before and Williams was always bad but fewer people noticed back then?
>>11626362>>11626364So, you know how we know Strobo 's color scheme due to his appearance in the US magazine?I wonder if you can apply that to Karg and can we assume that vintage figure Karg would've been blonde, green faced and blue armored instead of having his movie colors, since that's what they used in the magazine? Maybe they were told those were the colors to use?
>>11626703Nah, it's the line-work. Specifically the eyes, they're just a little too big and weirdly shaped.It's just variations on this.
TheManChild has Multi-Bot and Jesus he's huge
He even makes the Classics version look small
>>11626756>>11626758Y tho?Are his joints still swappable with Modulok/other Origins?
>>11626764He made this, but he states that the more he swapped pieces around, the looser the legs got and they were flopping aroundThe Modulok limbs are noticeably smaller than the Multi-Bot ones as well
Just one more since I figured you guys would want to see how he looks next to Modulok himself
>>11626756>>11626758>>11626762>>11626766>>11626775Cool. Nice.
>>11626764>Y tho?You know what it could be? Maybe they plan to use the Multi-Bot arms and legs with the Extendar torso for that evil Horde "Extendar", so they had to size him up so the limbs would look natural on the bigger torso. Just spitballing
Mega Jay Retro and Toy Habits interview someone who attended the LA test screening this week who they dub as Mr MOTU. He shares how he attended the screening, his experience getting in and the audience along with some new details!>Some of the details I thought worth mentioning: The first act of the film begins on Eternia and you get to see it all in its wonder and splendor. Some big battle occurs and you basically get what seems like the entire roster of Heroic and Evil Warriors from the vintage toy line involved including Spikor. He compared seeing Eternia to seeing Coruscant in all its glory in Episode 1 as a huge Star Wars fan. -Earth is a necessary step, he feels like it serves its purpose and then when that story is done it goes back to Eternia for the rest of the film. -We see Cringer and also get Battle Cat! -Kristen Wiig is great as Roboto. Idris Elba is also a stand out as Duncan aka Man At Arms. There's obviously "The Hero's Journey " for Adam/He-Man but Duncan like the rest all have their arcs that were pulled off well.>Talks about how Nicholas was and looked great as He-Man. -Talks a little about the battle between He-Man and Skeletor like it felt like the hits with the Havoc Staff and Power Sword were the actors giving it their all, like really wailing on the weapons hard and the action was great. -Again compares it in tone to the first Guardians of the Galaxy and Thor: Ragnarok along with a ton of heart. -A lot of FX work was missing but because they filmed on location and built sets they didn't need to use their imagination too much. The sets for Castle Grayskull and Snake Mountain were HUGE! Skeletor has his bone throne from the Filmation cartoon.>The pacing felt great. Film seemed around the 2 hour mark and the only nitpick or criticism he had was the ending, otherwise he loved the film! -Obviously it sets up for a sequel....
>>11626813>He gives a quick story of going up to the films producer and telling them that they really need tk change the MGM title logo to be Cringer roaring instead of the usual lion to really grab the fans and audience. The producer loved the idea and said they were gonna do it!https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XC0QC9CQ2_I&pp=ygUOTWVnYSBqYXkgcmV0cm8%3D
>>11626815They should, it's always funny when the studio logo gets incorporated
>>11626756Entry level MV figure to get you to switch over
>>11626813>>11626815That sounds promising. I am optimistic for it. I bet it sets up Hordak and/or She-Ra for a sequel.
>>11626907>I bet it sets up SNAKEMEN for a sequelFixed
>>11626813>Kristen Wiig is great as Roboto.What
>>11626938>he doesn't know
>>11626943>>11626938I can only imagine he'll still be male, but her voice will be exaggerated to push the "childlike innocent robot with a gun" vibe.
>>11626775Goddamit Mattel, you had ONE job.
>>11626907>I bet it sets up HordakWill it finally break the curse and have something MOTU related set up Hordak and follow through, rather than get cancelled?
>>11627103Revolution already broke that curse.
>>11627113>Revolution already broke that curse.At the cost of Snake Men not existing in that universe, even though Viper Tower does.
>>11627128So Revolution had TWO positives, then
>>11627128>No snakemenI take it all back, Kevin Smith
>>11627134Stop complaining about Snakemen. So you remember what happens when you complain about Snakemen? This happens >>11620936 >>11623590 >>11623943
>>11627183I'd rather one million snakemen than that guys OCs.
Deport the Snakemen!
>>11626619One megafan is equivalent to 5.3 superfans.
>>11626758>>11626762Why is he bigger than the 6 inch scale Classics figure? He looks out of scale with the rest of the Origin Horde.
>>11626938>>11626943Gender swapping a robot. facepalm.jpg
>>11627354Imagine the robo titties though

>>11627533I wish we didn't have to wait so long to see what Mattel will do with DC. If they're as partswappable as other lines and I can mix them with MotU parts I will be so happy. Especially with 200x will match them more.
>>11627533There was some synopsis floating around yesterday on tv but it got deleted. Don’t know if it was legit or not. It mentions this big battle. It sounded alright, maybe a bit underwhelming but we’ll see. I usually set my expectations to zero but I’m hopeful it’s good. I thought people were over exaggerating about Barbie but I caught it before it left theaters and it was funnier and better than it should’ve been.
despite being $80 I am tempted
>>11627546I had a good chuckle at this. God bless you anon.>Two Bad? Can't do that. How about two more Beast Mans?
Was it ever established Strobo was not wearing a suit in the original concept? this just looks dumb as nude stratos. Should they make the body a darker shade from his face so it looks more like a body suit?
>>11628162Where'd all the 88 waves colors even come from? Did they even have official colors?
>>11628162after how bad naked stratos sold why would you basically do it again?
>>11628162Is this real, chat?
>>11628162>Was it ever established Strobo was not wearing a suit in the original concept? this just looks dumb as nude stratos.Wait is this a custom or did I miss his reveal? If this isn't official they could use Sketchbook Series Sy Klone's chest piece even if it isn't 100% accurate to the concept art it would look better.
>>11628189Strobo did, he appeared in that magazine comic. The only other one I heard was Errol McCarthy who drew most of the cardbacks (along with a lot of Wheeled Warrior art) was told the new ninja guy was going to be white as an opposite to Ninjor. Everything else was made up by the HM.Org community Super 7 was using as their bio/story group.
>>11628162I wonder if all he'd need is a fur loincloth and fur on the cape to look more barbarian than pulp hero. But stratos has one. Maybe one of the longer loincloths from the thundercats crossover. He's such a halfassed idea and I like reprints and partswap repairs generally lol.
>>11628189>>11628239Here's a page from that comic for reference.
>>11628227You could always pretend SB Sy-klone IS StroboThe lenticular sticker replicates some kind of light power like you'd get with Strobo 's mirror and you get the space man look without reusing Zodac's head and he's not half naked. Just slap a spare cape on him
>>11628309I'd love to see what Masterverse could do to make a dude with a circular mirror embedded in his chest actually look cool. I dont actually mind that he's not wearing a superman like suit. Maybe they could do something crazy and make him entirelu chrome silver like a Silverhawk instead of the mirror.
I had a thought I've seen people suggest "we get 3 vintage a year on MC, so next year has to be Two Bad, Stonedar, Blast Attak, year after has to be movie", you know the spiel. But they never factor in that we actually get a FOURTH as a fan channel exclusive. Like last year we got Rokkon, Sy-klone, Extendar + Modulok just before Christmas This year Rio Blast, H Hordak and presumably Dragstor in Dec + Multi-Bot is tricking out now So even if the Two-Bad/Stonedar/Blast-Attak guess is right, if we follow the same pattern, there should be one more. Maybe Two Bad will be a late year fan channel exclusive around next Christmas and we get one of the Zoids or movie guys next year on MC
>>11628382Honestly, if they want to make Two-bad a fan channel exclusive, I'd rather the remaining MC exclusive slot went to something like Mantisaur. No point in releasing a movie figure a year before the Anniversary, and I honestly think the Zoids will be released as a pair simultaneously but on seperate cards. Those and the Laser guys have the legacy of being the very last regular figures in the vintage line, and I think Mattel will want to use them to close out vintage Origins.
>>11628390>point in releasing a movie figure a year before the Anniversary, You say that, but let's say Gwildor is an MC Dec exclusive, very few are getting him before 2027 anyway. And besides, didnt Cartoon She-Ra come out in late 2024, ahead of her official anniversary year? As long as it's late 2026, I see no issue in releasing a movie guy a little before the year-of
>>11628214https://www.instagram.com/reel/DRATB1pjJaD/
It's been confirmed that mocap actor on the set of filming the movie is Beast Man
Boss Fight are doing a Hellboy in the MOTU Origins style.I definitely want this because it's finally a Hellboy figure that doesn't use a rubber over-lay for the torso that will rot in five years.
>>11628932Do we know if they are they just doing Hellboy or are we getting anyone else? Either way I instantly preordered this. It looks awesome.
>>11629142>What's the price point$47 USD, same as their Conan.>are they doing other characters or is it kind of a one off thing?It's part of the Immortal Champions line, so no dedicated Hellboy subline, but if I were to hazard a guess, they're probably just planning to do Hellboy now because he's the most recognisable character and his supporting cast isn't 100% necessary to most people. But who knows if he sells well and the line does decent numbers, maybe we'll get an Abe Sapian?
>>11629178Correction, that $47 is AUD, BBTS has it for 30.
>>11629179Lol yeah I just found it and preordered it instantly which is why I deleted my post. I rarely do that. I wonder if he fan wear MotU origin armour.
Some recent acquisitions. Thought I'd share with you folks.
>>11629247Four Horsemen sculpts were so good. I especially love whatever Sorceress that is. I regret never getting into 200x. He-ro son of Heman has a cool story too I love when they make cancelled or unrealized characters.
>>11629308>I especially love whatever Sorceress that is.It's one of the NECA "staction" figures. I wish she at least had swivels in the shoulders, but regardless she's absolutely gorgeous.
>>11629247Nice those are all some choice selections. I really like Dare, regulars in here are probably sick of me saying he should have been the lead in New Adventures.200x King Hiss and Sorceress are gems too. I'm not hyped at all for the 200x Origins but I am hoping they make a good Sorceress.
>>11629319>I really like Dare, regulars in here are probably sick of me saying he should have been the lead in New Adventures.That's my toy canon. Partly why I got him.
>>11629228>I wonder if he fan wear MotU origin armour.I've asked before and the armor/weapons are supposed to be compatible with the Boss Fight figures according to them. That was their plan
ramen toys battle boner. Could work with origins as well I guess.
>>11629429I love Battle Boners to. But vintage is so fragile.Is this available to buy right now or is this just hype inducing image?
>>11629357Oh shit this has me incredibly hyped. My only nitpick is he doesn't have a trenchcoat.
>>11629429
>>11629446Undertaker from WWE Superstars. Daddy Mattel had a plan.
>>11629429>>11629451In b4 Mattel announces Origins Battle Bones to try and undercut Ramens sales
>>11629453Oh shit that's almost perfect. I know nothing of the WWE stuff.
>>11629468I sure hope so. The Ramen one seems a bit oversized even for the Classics/MV figures it's intended for
speaking of battle bones, Ive slowly been collecting all the kiddy toys. I plan to open them all on Christmas.
>>11629540nta, but very specifically get WWE Superstars Undertaker. It's slightly adjusted in the arms to fit MOTU bodies
>>11629429Damn that looks neat
Ok who ordered the Red Shadow?I'm tempted because maybe he's cool in hand...maybe.Or should I get the Stingor guy instead?A Transformer? I like the Man at Arms one as a variant of him...don't know shit about Transformers and I think they other ones look ugly.
>>11629794If you're only gonna get one, go with Sting-or
>>11629794Unless you bought the Club Grayskull membership already, I'd get Stingor. Red Shadow isn't gonna be worth you spending an extra $10 bucks on membership for, and Stingor was a general release so you don't need the membership
>>11629804They already got me with the membership way back at the beginning with He-Ro. Haven't bought any else since...What a rip off honestly.
I was going to order this MC exclusive She-Ra poster for my daughter but they can't ship to leafland.Thanks again Mattel.
>>11629429>>11629451Very nice looking>>11629794I got two because I'm a psychopath.I'd recommend Sting-or instead of Red Shadow if you had to pick only one.
>>11629778What a classy gentlemen he sure isnt like those disgusting snake people.
>>11629811I genuinely don't understand how worldwide shipping isn't just a standard now.
>>11629811What? Are you in the Yukon or something? I've bought a few Mattel Creations things and had no problem shipping to Canada. And I just checked and it gives me a shipping estimate but I don't want to buy anything right now to check for sure.
I'm just 'nanners bout gy-rillers
>>11630154Costs. Leafmail is ultra expensive. Bongmail has extra requirements on items coming in. Most of it is still messed up from COVID, but Leafmail is specifically because their PO is insane with how much they want to be paid. USPS is a thankless job, the leafs are decently paid by comparison but that also means it's ultra expensive now to use.
>>11628932>>11629145>inb4 Boss Fight makes official origins styled Thundarr and Blackstarr figures>inb4 they make Fuerza T figures tooI want to believe....
>>11628309It'd be a major departure but in place of either orange or flesh tone I'd argue Strobo's body should be colored either a darker blue or black. You need the accents of his suit to pop, and darker colors are the best way to do that.
>>11630428Does anyone have their Conan?
Brehs, Sword of Flaws is going to morph into an ongoing monthly! After issue 4, they'll start a new story with issue 5

>>11630162They will ship the toys but not the other stuff. Weird I know but I get a big disclaimer when I even click on something that isn't an Axel OC.>how am I going to get my Demo Man water bottle and Gel-dor boxer shorts
>>11630481I already like that art better than whatever was posted earlier in this thread.
>>11630437Yes
I know not everything needs to be a hint or a tease...but wouldn't it be great if this were a hint or a tease?>Spydor 2026Or just make 2026 as whole "Year of Evil Warriors" and spam a ton of new characters and vehicles and creatures for them

>>11630723getting a complete, working vintage Spydor is one of the biggest adult collector goals.Loved that spider car so much as a kid. Mine came second hand from a garage sale and was missing one leg and the motors were all fucked up. But the whole concept is so good it didn't matter and it was Skeletors main ride.
>>11630747>Rio Blast/Vultak/He-Ro/Sharella/Despara $14 (Mattel Creations)It's really cool knowing all those exclusives arent selling so members will probabaly buy them up to resell them.I guess I'll get a Geldor though
>>11630852From what I've heard, the "only 3 per customer" rule is still in effect and people who bought 3 during the initial drop are unable to buy more on this sale.
>>11630972Oh shit that's actually great to hear.
>>11630973It does make you wonder what Mattel's rational are...who are they expecting to buy them?The current members you're blocking if they already bought 3, and most non-members are probably NOT gonna say "oh, hey, I'll spend $10 on a membership to save $10 on He-Ro"I've seen that some members are salty about it though and think member exclusive items should never go on sale because they paid full price and hate the idea that any potential new members will get them cheaper
>>11630981The whole membership thing is stupid and makes me mad but some people are like crabs in a bucket.
All that said, these sales have me seriously considering NOT buying Dragstor next month and waiting until he and Stingor eventually go on sale before I buy them. (Haven't bought an MC since Rio Blast, was purposely waiting for the next vintage to basically buy all the stuff I skipped in one go. But now it's been nearly a year, my hype has cooled considerably that I don't have a "gotta buy now" mentality for new drops, and nothing sells out anyway)
A frequent complaint I see around is that Mattel can't get He-Man's face right (mainly levelled at Masterverse) and there definitely some ugly He-Man's out there. But it got me thinking, what SHOULD He-Man look like? What is your ideal version? Should he be young or old? Handsome or grizzled? Pretty? Angry? Happy? Blonde? Ginger? Do you want choppy windswept hair or the page boy? Have they made the perfect He-Man for you already?
>>11631020Young, handsome, blond. Any emotion is fine, from kind Filmation smile to angry savage.
>>11631020I like "year two minicomics" He-Man best
>>11631067Looks like Alexander Godunov.
>>11631020It's more for the novelty and sculpt quality but I really wanted the notConan notHeman hybrid from Mythic Legions but it was too hard to get. Almost ye olden days of Matty collector hard.
>>11631020I mean this without a shred of irony but Tank Head is He-Man's best head.
>>11630723It's going to be a transformer, but don't tell toyhabits
>>11631084How so?
>>11631084I hate how the sculptors at mattel all want to leave their mark and made the Masterverse version into a turtle. The fuck were they thinking?
>>11631020The masterverse boxarts were perfect looks for heman. Mattel just hired shitty sculptors from fiverr for the figures.
>>11631092It's a tank. And it's on his head. I can't put into words why my unga lunga caveman loves it so much but that might explain it exactly. I want an origins version that is just 100% accurate to the prototype so bad. But if its not I'd still buy it. I missed out on both versions. I mean I guess I could just find the model kit he used. I also love Dino Tank from Ultraman. Heavy Tank from Final Fanfasy 7Tankmon and Tankdramon from DigimonThe dinosaur tank glitch from that one episode of RebootTank dudes from Power LordsTheres something about the most primitive things in the world like dinosaurs and barbarians fused into tanks that speaks to me on an unconscious primitive level. Now if only someone would mix all 3 it would be the most perfect being in existence.
>>11630723He also poster the Dinos the day before. Maybe it's in the workds for Club Grayskull since that's what teh membership is mostly for.
>>11630437Heaven help my wallet if they get the Adventure of Conan animated series licence for this line.
>>11631131Wait I think I can explain it. It's something deep and archetypical. Like all the anger and fury you ever have goes back to the memory of being a caveman beating the shit out eachother like barbarians. And WWII is the most iconic example most of us have of the fury of war. And that's grafted directly to the source of that rageYour brain. All your barberian rage and hate is coming of your fucking face through a tank cannon. It's amazing. You scream and your battle cry is tank bullets.I also love the blend of tech and magic and they dont touch on modern tech much in Heman if at all. And I love biomechanic designs so much.
>>11631127Yeah I hated that too. I think the idea was that it was an Eternian tank made into armour. But I don't know which one and it was stupid.I understand not wanting to get sued by Disney for using Boba Fetts design for the other armour but still I'm sure they could get away with it now with some adjustments like Vile in Megaman X
>>11631131I need to 3d print something like this for an origins custom. Tank-centaur does it for me.
>>11631131I think I fought these in Smash TV
Looks like the spammer was one who was shitting in lego general as we, well thats dealt with for now
>>11631367Tank head wins again
