>First Ones>will have the race swapped charactersI see...
>>11695067this looks so fucking uglyI see another pegwarmer toy line
Is it called First Ones because of the old ass articulation? Like single joints and such?
>>11695084Continue to use the old one then, have a great time.
>>11695085Fuck off frog. You only just went insane doing this with 50 lego threads last week. Why are you like this
>>11695067Are they called "first ones" because they're cheaper for parents to get their kids and hopefully hook the next gen of consoomers?
>>11695128That’s my thinking
>>11695067Teela looks even worse in toy form.
>>11695142The in hand chronicle pictures look better than the renders. Her and evil Lyn were pushed back to fall so I assume they are aware of complaints.
>>11695067Even Revelations toys looked better than this
>>11695142Even worse than what? She looks great in live action afaic
>>11695075Can we all agree Thundercats was mishandled?
>>11695176No it was perfect
There is an almost bootleggy charm to these
>>11695176Thundercats sucks so I don't really care. More villains might have been neat because Mumm-Ra was all I got.
>>11695170No she doesn't. She looks like a flat-chested Hispanic with fake red hair and a shitty costume to "fight male gaze."
>>11695217It’s easier for everyone if you just come right out and say you are gay. She’s cute as fuck.
>>11695219She's like Snow White and Alba Sue Storm with nothing being wrong with her, but she's wrong for the role. >>11695227The fags are the ones who refused to give her a costume that's more like what it's supposed to be.
>>11695231It’s same color scheme, you are seething over nothing anon. She’s still fine as fuck. The absolute fiend gooner in me imagines popping them boots off and ripping open that crotch area. Not my fault you are gay and lack imagination to make it hot.
>>11695235>"IT'S TOTALLY NOT DIFFERENT BECAUSE OF THE COLOR SCHEME!"Bullshit excuse, bro.
she could look a LOT better costume-wise. Camila is a sexy brown but she'll never be pic rel, and that's what we all want.
>>11695238>what little we’ve seen of Eternia looks dope>the villains look amazing>everyone else looks pretty spot on>”she’s not wearing a leotard?! RREEEEEEE” *slaps sides of head*I’m not excusing anything I think it looks good. Shit is subjective. Difference between us is one of us sounds mega gay crying over change that in grand scheme is not even bad.
>>11695202No.
>>11695202Am I the only one kinda excited for these? They look pretty decent for what I’m assuming is the budget line.
>>11695235Still it should’ve been the actual white redhead from riverdale
>>11695217>fake red hair...and Nicholas Galitzine is a natural blonde? She clearly hit the training regimen with aplomb and from a quick look at youtube clips she suits pulling off Teela's personality type and can easily lend physicality to a performance. Also that body's tight AF not gonna lie.
>>11695261I got Latin fever so it makes me happy…and ultimately that’s all that matters chud. More importantly I never watched Riverdale because I don’t watch CW teen slop so I have no idea who you are talking about.
>>11695261Hmm
>>11695280We were fucking robbed
>>11695280>>11695284I bet you both think Sydney sweeny is the “peak” female too. Go enjoy your Quaker Oats slop and missionary while the rest of us live on the edge.
>>11695241>Camila is a sexy brown but she'll never be pic relShe's literally lighter-skinned than the original Teela toy (which was always the better vintage look for Teela afaic)
>>11695286Fire cunt is peak sorry the Jews have programmed you to lust after man jawed latins bro
>>11695287No use arguing with these fags
>>11695289Sorry? I don’t need your pity. Imma pick Latin chick over dull white chick any day. The red head looks like she’d give you a blow job one time and then never again except maybe a birthday or an anniversary. Boring.
>>11695287Anon, it may be true that the toy-look Teela that most fans prefer and and fan-favourite 2002 Teela definitely aren't porcelain white, but when there's a narrative about raceflipping to defend, Filmation is suddenly the DEFINITIVE Teela. Please understand this.
>>11695287>She's literally lighter-skinned than the original Teela toyThat's literally false, but the plastic used for most, but not all, versions darkened over time. A piece of motu history likely unknown to the average superfan.
>>11695315Did the catalogues darken over time too?
t/f: Origins will never complete the original vintage line in its own form
>>11695315>11695320>11695323https://motuvintagevariants.com/collections/teela
>>11695332I'm gonna say true, but only because I don't think they'll ever do all of the vehicles. I still have faith that they can complete the cast of OG figures but I won't be holding my breath for a Dragon Walker (though I'd gladly be wrong)
>>11695335Hell yeah, I’m honestly more stoked on the budget line. I think the sculpts look pretty good at that price point and the limited articulation has its charm. I imagine they will be easy to nab all figures compared to the “collectors” line. I just hope they don’t limit the smaller scale to JUST movie based figures.
>>11695251depends on cost but i'll pick at least one up
>>11695340I think I might mix and match. Chronicles He-Man looks fantastic to me but I definitely prefer First Ones Teela (at least from the pics so far)
>>11695194>No mutants>200X mold prioritized over standard origins buck = ugly proportions>Swappable hair and accessories on Lion-O amd He-man leading to both figures looking fugly and underwhelmimgThey just could have done alot better. Cheetara, Mumm-Ra, and Battle Cat Man are the only ones that look perfect.
>>11695335Fuck yeah
>>11695335This unironically changes everything. These toys will be a hit.
>>11695176I can't hate on a line that granted us the sheer majesty that is Battle Cat Man
>>11695335Oh fuck yeah they can't even end up that expensive here in Bongolia in that case. I might just buy them all.
>>11695335>$10Not bad at all
>>11695490Cheaper and better quality than a Star Wars figure
>>11695493Aren't these new ones $10 too? They look good and buff
>>11695497
>>11695235IT SHOULD BE A ONE PIECE SWIMSUIT THAT MAKES ME WANT TO GOON IN THE THEATER
>>11695394Mattel is banking everything on this. These cannot be sold at a break even price. They are looking to push He-Man to the MOON
>>11695497>They look good
I will laugh my ass off if MotU makes more money than Mandalorian and Grogu but I think everyone underestimates Mandalorian, that will make $1 billion like Stitch because of the green guy. MotU would be lucky to make How to train your Dragon numbers but I see at max $360 million worldwide.
>>11695497>mfw you realise Power of the Force was made to ride on the MotU toy line success wave
>>11695533MotU will be top 5 of the year. Mario will be number 1. It will beat supergirl and doomsday tho. Mando will do worse than anyone expects.
I wanna say this:>motu>tmnt>dc>kpop demon huntersBring back mighty max and we are good but I wanna say it... I fucking love Mattel. Crazy on how good they got, did they change leadership or something?
>>11695286I can guess what your peak "female" is.
>>11695546Prime Winona Ryder?
>>11695555Heathers.
>>11695335That's a great price. I've got my eyes set on Chronicles (I'll grab He-Man to start and if they're as good as I hope they will be, I'll probably go all in, especially if I like the movie) but at $10 I'll definitely have to grab some of these, especially if the accessories are cross compatible.
>>11695546Just add more feminine face and big tits and you aren’t wrong
HE IS IN>It takes a while for him to show up, but yes, Orko does in fact appear in the new “Masters of the Universe” Movie. It is a great moment, but doesn’t last extremely long.https://he-mania.com/2026/02/will-orko-be-in-the-new-masters-of-the-universe-movie-this-is-what-we-heard/
>>11695176It could have been better if they didn't make 2x of certain characters. Wanted some more villains or at least a mummy Mumm-Ra.
>>11695570Why? I hate Orko, I really don't get why so many asked for Orko, he fucking sucks.
>>11695579You're not respecting the property unless you respect all the characters. Orko's part of the main cast even if redditors hate him.
>>11695566I’m getting all the first ones just because of how cheap they are. Chronicles I’ll probably only get heman, battle cat and trap jaw. Maybe man at arms too if I can swap the head. I’m holding out for when they do other versions of the rest of the cast not from the movie.
>>11695579Orko was fine in 200x. He’s not bad if he’s not treated as a pet
>>11695579Like it or not Orko is part of MOTU. You cannot deny this.
>>11695337Two-BadStonedarGwildorBladeSaurodRotarTwistoidTytusMegatorLaser Power He-ManLaser Light Skeletor
>>11695337All the meteorbs
>>11695570Nice! My fucking lad. Love Orko.
>>11695661Are you sure we didn't get Two Bad in Origins? I think we did
>>11695678Just cartoon collection
>>11695678Nobody counts Toon Bad towards vintage completion
>>11695694Origins with realistic proportions
>>11695724Tomorrow
>>11695694Anon you size Queen
>>11695679looks ok for 10 bucks. i dont believe kids will buy it though. kids do not choose to buy or have others buy them action figures anymore except in very low levels that are negligible.
>>11695738His arse!!!If that’s the case expect to see them in Family Circle or Car & Driver magazine to have the exclusive reveal/article complete with misspellings galore.
France won
>>11695765Do we have numbers on these? Is Jakks secretly one of the biggest, most profitable toy companies in recent years over Hasbro and Hasbro's tired old brands like SW, Marvel, etc?
https://youtu.be/YwMsGYvRqwo?si=LSxg34L5qV1VgWRh>Battle Cat fucks>Cringer passes out in the cuck chair
>>11695810I havent seen any confirmation but it really wouldnt surprise me if they were running circles around the competition. Sonic's been a gangbuster success for them and even outside of the holiday season the figures rarely linger on shelves. The Mario movie line sold really well too. For as much as people dunk on their simpsons collection, it still managed to make it to 5 or 6 waves. That's nothing to turn your nose up at.
>>11695335there is no way they retail for $10. someone missed a one while typing $19.99
>>11696024Why not? They still won’t be selling at a loss. They won’t 10x their profits but it serves as marketing and an entry point for a whole new generation of consumers. It’s a great business decision especially if they makeup that extra $10 from vehicles and play sets anyone that buys in to the figures will get. I had no interest in getting them but at $10 I’ll be getting some for me and family members.
>>11696033If these are still not at a loss at $10 then every other toy company is ripping us off and has us over a barrel. Even Mattel themselves with Origins.
>>11695569Would
>>11696037He’s partially right. They probably are loss leaders but will make their money back on accessory sales.
Vehicles will probably be $30
>>11695241UNF. they should’ve had big fat Eden be Teela
Greyskull and snake mountain will probably be $80
>>11695335That's an insane deal for $10. I will at least get He-Man and probably Skeletor if he looks good too.>>11695176Adding onto my post >>11695574 I do think it was really cool and felt natural as a cross-over. I was happy with what we got, only that it felt like it had more potential than what we got. Unless there are more figures coming- in that case bring them on!
>>11696024>>11696033>Why not?Correct.The Superman movie toys, the 6" line were selling from $7.99 to $9.99 at the start. Sure, some people put them out at $19.99 but only impatient fucks paid that.>>11696037>then every other toy company is ripping us offThe tariffs from Vietnam have been more stable and certain which has helped the production of anything coming from there. I don't pay enough attention about Origins but I'm sure Mattel is large enough that they were making toys all over.
>>11696073MotU is Vietnam
>>11696073>The Superman movie toys, the 6" line were selling from $7.99 to $9.99 at the start.This is not the same as an Origins figure>https://www.amazon.com/Comics-Superman-6-Inch-Authentic-Styling/dp/B0DSCKQWMG
>>11696037>>11696041Could also be a case of Origins being slightly upcharged due to selling less numbers, whereas the volume of MOTU Movie toys ordered by stores would be greater in anticipation, then yeah they probable slimmed their margins too.
>>11695829Good shit
>>11696091People always forget about economies of scale. Origins probably only see production numbers in the tens of thousands, while toylines for major movies see production numbers in the hundreds of thousands.
>>11696141He-manlet
>>11696146So about Origins sized. The lack of ankles are the bigger dealbreaker if anything. They'd certainly be fun to bash around, which is probably the intended use by children.
>>11696141Well>>11695696was right
Pic of He-Man unboxed and in a pose
>>11696184Good enough for $9.99
>>11696184and then Beast Man
>>11696186Looks like a crackhead hooker at 1am
>>11696186Welp looks like I’m only getting heman from this wave
>>11696188It does!!!! Though he has more teeth than most of the ones I meet outside the ghetto Sheetz I go to.
>>11696150It’s even more of a dealbreaker that they don’t have the modular assembly and interchangeable parts that regular Origins does. C
>>11696186>>11696188>>11696202Nah, someone is definitely a fan of Bram Stoker's Dracula.
>>11696211Nah that’s definitely some ratchet bitch offering to suck yo dick for $5 just so ray ray can rob you before you nut. Ummhmm
>>11696186>>11696188
>>11696220Fuck off with the AI
>>11696227I’m not trying to pass it off I just wanted to show it because I thought it was cool you fucking baby
After 200x He-man will just be first ones style and chronicles. Origins becomes exclusive. Masterverse is gone completely after this year. Retail MotU will no longer be modular.
>>11696243>Retail MotU will no longer be modular.After movie stuff it'll literally go back to this... What, you think they'll keep making movie figures until a sequel (assuming it gets one)?
>>11696261The new show based in the movie universe will be the children’s toy line in between films. All first ones. Origins exclusive. They have a 8 year plan currently. Chronicles is where you’ll be getting different takes on characters. Kids get first onesCollectors get chronicles Old hats get origins
>>11696277False.
>>11696277https://toyhabits.com/new-motu-animated-2026-movie-prequel-series-announced-and-movie-inspired-toys-coming/
>>11696284Wrong. It is a prequel series. I was told 10 year old prince adam was he man before the events of the movie and the show explores his adventures before skeletor found out his identity.
>>11696243>>11696269So Origins still lives then. Is that exclusive such as only on Creations or would stuff like Sketchbook still be at Target and maybe Walmart gets a Retro series?Kind of sucks that modular ends at retail since they still have WWE Superstars and maybe a DC one coming.
>>11696294Okay no more leaks for this general.
Tough crowd tonight
>>11696269Any info on potential rerelease of Origins Snake Mountain as a repaint like the Amazon Grayskull is?
>>11696314They'd have to do a lot more than repaint Snake Mountain to turn it into the prototype version so I doubt it.
>>11696308If it's a hit, they'd go forward with more projects and we'd see even more product.If it flops, the brand dies aside from Mattel Creations stuff, and then that'll die once the molds are unusable.If it's like sonic levels of success it's a bit tougher, I think it'd be the same amount of push for the brand from before the movie was right around the corner, enough to keep it relevant but not too much investment until the next project comes out and then base the future on that's performance
>>11696328speculation on my part, i'm not the maybe leaker guy from above
>>11696327I was thinking more of this Preternian or Snaked out version from the box art. I think you could clip a face over the demon face.
>>11696308Even if the movie flops MotU isn't going anywhere anytime soon. That is like asking if a DC movie flops will DC survive? Of course it will, DC isn't a movie franchise and neither is MotU.
Question is are they going to cancel origins the same way they are canceling masterverse? Is the movie toys coming in to wrecking ball we everything?
I remember this post from a long time ago. It’s come a long way in 6 years and some of the stuff that wasn’t supposed to happen, happened. Left out the bits about ToyGuru’s bisexual post Power Con orgies. And Classics is still dead.
>>11696141First Ones are true 5.5" but the waist is higher than on MotU's Filmation collection, which was higher than Origins. You can see how the torso is what makes First Ones smaller.We'll get Goat Man on those body only.
I only buy lego so I hope Mattel does brick shop sets or gives the license to lego, any leaks?
>>11696446
>>11696445>We'll get Goat Man on those body only.Then I no longer care if Origins gets cancelled.
>>11696422I have a ton of Masterverse figures but I found myself not opening most of them so they're just sitting in their boxes. Whenever I opened one I always felt the figure was lacking in the articulation department, so in that aspect I'm definitely looking forward to giving Chronicles a go. And then the even worst aspect, Masterverse are a pain to get in Canada, and for whatever reason the waves I've no interest show up as available, then the ones I am interested in like NE Ninjor and NE AE He-Man are just not available at retail. Missing all the figures I actively want is a quick way to lose interest in a line. I'd have to think that distribution will be good with the movie, at least at first.
>>11696288>I was toldBy your dad that works at Mattel?
>>11696218Beast Mama
>>11696218Can’t unsee
>>11696425Yeah that is basically what is going on there. MV should be plummetting in price, so just wait on any figs you want
>>11696308I'll just say if the're lying to us and movie will flop because waaay too much time is spend on Earth, franchise's reputation will never recover.
>>11696371Last time movie flopped, franchise took quite a hit. Motu isn't on DC level in the end. >>11696395I really doubt First Ones will out the same niche.as Origins. in comparison, if Chronicles finishes movie and starting doing random stuff like Draego-Man or 200X Skeletor, then they're almost the same thing.
>>11695536It was the 90s, they were meant to compete or compare to the muscular superhero figures of the time, MOTU was long dead at that point
With how many MotU figures are on sale , I find it hard to believe Mattel and retail make a profit on this and yet it just keeps going. They must be. Which is a horrific indictment of other companies whose stuff now does not go on sale at all.
>>11696775I'm willing to believe the reports that most of the movie is spent on eternia, but it's pretty obvious from the trailer that he'll only become He-Man for the last 5 minutes of the movie. You'd think they'd stop doing that kind of thing after it failed with so many other franchises, just look at the 2017 Power Rangers movie that did the exact same thing, what a hit.
>>11696832>last 5 minutesHe is He Man during the snake mountain fight and he is becoming He Man probably somewhere inside Grayskull because there is a Talon Fighter there. I think he does become He Man in the third act but could be the last 30-40 mins depending on runtime though I guess it will be around 2 hours mark.. That's still enough, I also don't think the Skeletor vs He Man fight is the final battle between them from the movie.
>>11696421You can tell it’s over, they made Mosquitor to appease Pixel Dan. Otherwise they’d never hear the end of it. >>11696842It looks like he transforms to fight Trap Jaw so there’s no need for the secret identity bullshit. Unless he willing transforms back and forth as needed. This could be my dream movie. No need for Prince Adam and no Orko (fingers crossed).
>>11696851Orko is in the movie but more as a cameo sequel set up >>11695570Also Teela is after Adam so they know he is destined to become the He Man
>>11696421blatant lies, exactly what a corporation would say
>>11696851That's something I've loved in modern post-Classics MotU, the virtual abandonment of the secret. It's all been either everyone knows from the start (CGI and apparently the movie) or the secret is let out of the bag early on (Rev, and the DC crossover comics with Thundercats and Injustice)Only that new Sword of Flaws seems to be regressed back to it and it feels lame after so long of not using it
>>11696868No we wouldn't.
Anon told you all last night ittSkeletor attacks at the beginning of the movie looking for prince Adam because he knows he’s heman. This is a Shazam type situation. That’s why he refers to it as his sword in the trailer. There’s also a new prequel series and you can’t have a heman show without heman.
>>11696916>This is a Shazam type situationKids would eat this shit up
>>11696927But will kids accept the barbarian look? That is what got them in the 90s. The barbarian look fell out of fashion
>>11695067I appreciate the point of that photo but it just gets lost in the catalog and is ugly looking as fuck to boot.
>>11696968Mattel focus groups after the 2002 toys were on the shelves revealed boys didn't like He-Man because of his lack of clothes.But that was a literal generation ago, so hopefully barbarians without pants or shirt can be accepted as not gay again.
>>11696968Why do you think the nipples are covered along with his forearms now.
>>11696968Do kids like God of War? Or is that just for sad dads. Link had a Barberian outfit in BotW and kids loved that shit but it's not like it was main look so idk.
>>11697105That’s gay. That’s a twink slave not a barbarian outfit.
>>11696898The new Sword of Flaws is a throwback to vintage/Filmation lore so yeah it went back. Now that it’s an ongoing maybe they’ll grow out of it along the way. I totally agree it’s so much better without it. It’s alright to have Prince Adam in maybe a chosen one or Sword in the Stone type situation but the sneaking off to a phone booth is played out. Mark Taylor created Prince Adam as an antagonist whose loyalties shifted to who had more gold. When they brought DC into create those comics they just applied Superman to the scenario. Kids like a hero with a secret identity just like their favorite superheroes. Filmation had so many fags working there they added their in the closet baggage to it which ruined it looking back on it.
>>11697130Well then we're fucked and MotU is dead and I hope your mother dies in her sleep too
>>11697135>Filmation had so many fags working there they added their in the closet baggage to it which ruined it looking back on it.What the fuck are you fucking talking about? This is not a rhetorical question I want you to explain everything about this in great detail. I dont want my sons watching this satanic shit
What's the proper or most convenient way to buy from Mattel Creations from a EU country? Should I go to Mattel Creations Deutschland?(unrelated pic for Euro MOTU flavor)
>>11697211Just watch 200x like a normal non faggot
>thinking he man hasn't always been gay as fuck
>>11697212Reading my own question again, I realize it may sound confusing.To clarify: EUanon looking to buy from MC, figuring that I should manually enter the German version of the site as it would be the closest to me and within the EU, is that right? Or does the US version work so awesomely that it would be preferable?
>>11697262>sees a half naked man>starts thinking impure thoughts >god heman is so gay
>>11697309It’s pretty cool they gave her one of the samples.
>>11697211I don’t even know where to begin Anon. It was all very subtle not like today where they would beat you over the head with it or you’d have PSAs about respecting pronouns or it’s fine for a boy to like another boy. It flew over everyone’s heads but I didn’t pick up on it til after meeting the many gays off He-Man.org at cons or someone like Cracked made fun of screen caps like the one I posted. There was one where He-Man rode a rocket in a rainbow portal, Bow & Adam on a horse with rainbow ears. The rainbow find the elf. Madam Raz and most of the women Horde feel like drag queen templates. Most of She-Ra’s realm. Man At Arms with Adam and his secrets. Hiding scerets about yourself from your parents. The limp wristed dragon that had Bow wearing a pink dress. Prince Adam’s outfit. The lights during the “transformations” look like sperm. Any male with a mustache. Lord Mask looks like a pride parade outfit. FABULOUS secret powers. I could go on and on. It’s all subtle though so kids probably won’t notice, my generation didn’t til adulthood. Most of Hollywood was gay but secretive about it. I met an actress who caved and did her first ever nude sex scene in a movie. Someone asked if she was nervous being completely naked with all those crew men around and she was like hell no. Most of them were gay. They were probably afraid to look between my legs as she laughed.
>>11697309That looks like a pretty nice face sculpt. Almost with it was face plates they were working with though, and there were two different expressions, but what's there looks nice. I'd really like to see reviews of these figures (or have it in-hand, obviously).
>>11697212Do you actually live in Germany? Because unless you live in a country that's actually listed on the Mattel website, you straight up can't buy anything from there so it doesn't really matter
>>11696327>They'd have to do a lot more than repaint Snake Mountain to turn it into the prototype version so I doubt it.They didn't bother to sculpt a new left side of the clam-shell for Grayskull to match the prototype. It was just a straight up repaint so it's possible they could do the same for Snake Mountain.
>>11697371No, Spain.I see that it is on the list for international orders on the main Mattel Creations US site, and now that you mention it, the German site doesn't appear to have international shipping, indeed. So, I guess I shall use Mattel Creations US in the absence of a Mattel Creations España?
>>11697211>I dont want my sons watching this satanic shitThe worst that'll happen to your kids watching the Filmation series is that they'll become kinder people who respect their parents and don't believe in cheating. It might also throw them a bit at first that Adam's parents actually like each other.
>>11697659What about Mattel UK?I mean both might be subject to customs but maybe shipping will be a little cheaper. Haven't looked if the actual product prices are any different though.
>>11697820Nah, they only mention local and Scotland; they even exclude North Ireland.Meanwhile the US site offers me prices in € unlike UK, and they claim that the prices I'm seeing include duties, so, yeah, it looks like I'm supposed to buy from there.
>>11698021I'm a bong and I always buy from the Mattel Creations US store. Flat shipping so ordering a few things, especially when they're doing a 20% off sale is pretty cost-effective.
The thing that bothers me about race swaps in this movie is that it makes me at Axel OCs for being such shit. Hold on this will make sense in a second >raceswapping for diversity whatever it's not new>but if we had ew characters of different ethnicities we wouldnt need to raceswap old ones>It could mean we get things that are infinitely more creative like Aztec warriors, samurai, Zulu, luchador wrestlers, mariachi skeletors, egyptian gods, half of these could be cute girls and/or robots for no reason because its MotU>ok but we need to do the original characters because there are so many of them we dont need new ones and IP recognition wharever >except in the toys >but all we get are axel gets to make so many boring shitty OCs like an evil wizard skeletor and a wolf and more snakes.I like formo toys for doing this shit and even sun man kind of...his lore is so hilariously fucked up lol
>>11695536>>11696818Think about it, though-- He-Man ended up replacing Star Wars as the #1 boy's brand in the 80s, and during its last dying breaths, Kenner added the words "Power of the Force" to the Star Wars line, in response to He-Man's "I have the Power!" catch phrase. Then the Star Wars toyline died out for a decade, and as soon as it came back, what did we see? The "Power of the Force" undertitle was still there, and what's more, the characters had all been given Rob Liefeld-inspired redesigns that brought them closer to He-Man. Kenner was convinced nobody wanted Star Wars toys that looked realistic because realistic = whimpy, and they had to convince kids that Star Wars was cool by making them look more over the top and muscular, like MOTU. Obviously MOTU was culturally irrelevant in the mid 90s, but Kenner was still reeling from having been slapped around by the rock n' roll muscle men, and overcorrected. You can see that in Kenner's GI Joe Extreme line, too.The dumb thing is that it wasn't roided up muscle men that ended up outselling He-Man, it was the more realistically proportioned GI Joe RAH line, and Kenner's own Ghostbusters toyline. I think the industry was utterly confused by the sudden death of Star Wars, and then that was followed by the even more sudden death of MOTU when the animated series got canceled and Mattel failed to keep the core characters like He-Man and Skeletor available, with increasingly lame and outlandish characters being the only thing they were shipping when the line started crashing.
I'm trying to decide if some figures I originally skipped would actually be worth the cost of going back and add to my collection now. What do you guys generally think of>Wun-Dar>Slamurai>Rokkon>Kol Darr>Snake TrooperWorth pursuing on secondary market, or just let'm go?
>>11698379It always seems I'm the only guy with love for Kol Darr. He's simple but if you can enjoy a motu KO vibe ...he's excellent. I played with him a lot. And what I mean is that those KO lines always have a hero characters who is obviously just a "legally distinct but worse" version of He-Man. For whatever reason Kol's helmet just elevates him for me.Wun-Dar is my go to He-Man to fiddle with when I'm sitting at my desk. I gave him a spare half-power sword to play up early unsettled lore vibes. Snake Trooper is one of the Origins I dislike. This was right around when snakes started to take over the Motu revival and I was just really underwhelmed and didn't feel like his head fit really well into the trooper's armor. It's like he needed a neck or something. Plus Mattel didn't give him the correct weapon. So a lot of little things made this guy a dud for me.Slamurai. One of the best repaints because its so obvious and simple. Drip personified.
Who else is now buying up all of the dirt cheap motu pops ready to cash in when the movie releases?
>>11698379>>Wun-DarExcellent>>SlamuraiOk, the Cannuk card one you can get for $20-25>>RokkonKinda small. Only if you love Rocks>>Kol DarrOnly if you're a Filmation completist>>Snake TrooperGood figure if you like Snakes
>>11698379Slamurai is cool. I skipped him and went back later to buy him.I want Kol Darr so bad, but man the prices are stupid. Still butt hurt about Mattel messing his release up. They should have re-released him later like they did Wun-Dar. Speaking of, I like Wun-Dar too.
>>11698379It’s tough to recommend some of these since some of them are pricey. Kol-Darr is unique but the most expensive. He’s never been made before and he matches the line compared to the Filmation spin off line. Wundar, Slamurai & the Snake Trooper are historical since 1 was a pretty rare fig and the other 2 never made it back in the 80s. Rokkon is cool but he’s smaller than the rest. The other hand Stonedar is probably coming in the next few months so then you’d have the pair. All of them are good by me.
>>11698379>>Wun-Dar>>SlamuraiThese two are just repaints>>RokkonRokkon is really small for some reason.>>Kol DarrKind of cool>>Snake TrooperFuck snakes
>>11698447>>11698473>>11698479>>11698730Thanks, guys. These are helpful.
>>11698730vintage Rokkon and Stonedar were shorter than other MOTU figures tooThe bigger issue with Rokkon is that they didn't let the paint on his arms cure properly so the elbows stick, enough to break if you don't boil em firstAt least Wun-Dar and Rokkon are pretty cheap, Kol-Darr not so much
>>11695227>>11695219He's still correct, he didn't even say she was ugly. He should have though, in the sense she is another modern actor/actress that is absolutely nowhere near the requisite star quality for cinema. Fine for the mall or life in general, not good enough for the screen. The movie industry is basically the same as modern wrestling now, no stories and everyone is an indie jobber with absolutely no draw power or charisma.
>>11698730>>Snake Trooper>Fuck snakesSnake Trooper doesn't even make sense as a Snake army builder because he's wearing the Horde symbol He'd make a lot more sense if he was a unique individual character, not an army builder, and if he was like a self loathing snake man that hates the other snake men and joined the Horde as a traitor...like how Modulok was said to be Skeletor's mook that betrayed him to join the Horde. That sounds like a more fun use of the figure to me.
>>11698829My 2 Snake Troopers are on the Horde shelf. They're basically a head swap of the black Powercon Horde Trooper.
>>11698829>>11698832Mine is with my snake men, it kinda reinforces the theme of the snakes slowly infiltrating the factions of eternia and formulating their return to power.
Preview for issue #4 of the new comic is out and they are going REAL old school with Tri-klops....they're going with the original minicomic characterization of him being a mercenary for hire only working for Skeletor for profit and challenges but with a sense of honor
>>11697316>Prince Adam’s outfit.Supposedly the guy that did that design was colorblind and thought his clothes were green. But the other stuff, yikes.
>>11698981Yikes to the anon or the artists.
>>11698980Jesus that panel where his mask gets ripped off. I didn't know the comics had RIP AND TEARing
>>11698981Boggles the mind they had a colorblind art director.It's why Star Trek TAS had so much pink in it, too.
>>11698981It's kind of fascinating how much better Adam looks dressed in inverted colors
>please Orko,don't fuck up the time stream
>Orko: fuck the time stream
>>11698981I’ve heard other stories saying it was actually another color artist that just really liked pink and that is why it’s everywhere in filmation shows. Maybe the colorblind guy just gave him the okay to do it because he couldn’t tell how gay it was.
>>11699029Kinda like it. Orko always had some crazy power feats if you pay attention.
>>11699021He looks like buff Link
>>11699025>>11699029Qt Sorceress
If they release Icer, will his comic be about kicking out minorities from Eternia?
>>11699025Damn sorceress gets my piston pumping
Pixel Dan confirmed!ORIGINS ARE DONE!The future are first ones and chronicles.200x will finish out this year. Origins goes exclusive.
>>11699220>Origins goes exclusive.Hasn't it already?
>>11699221My take away is that after this year the only things at retail will be first ones and chronicles so no sketchbook or crossovers either
>>11699224Haven't bought a single retail thing since wave 14This would change nothing to my buying habits and I couldn't care less.
>>11699220>chronicles.>200x will finish out this year.That's disappointing there are so many 200x characters I wanted and it makes me nostalgic for when I first started collecting toys again as an adult in 2010 and got into Motuc because of it. Hopefully we get some more good shit and 200x nly characters before it ends.
>>11699040Maybe the artists just had pinkeye.
>>11699224>so no sketchbook or crossovers eitherThis would actually suck. I get some of the group doesn't like these, but they're great fodder for me. Get 1 at launch, buy more on clearance
What if we could get thundercat in chronicles?
>>11699286Never even considered crossovers in chronicles
>>11699276We've had so many I'm fine with taking a break. But I love crossovers in general so much. I even loved the Transformer ones and am not sure why they were hated so much.
We already almost have the main cast of 200x. If they throw in some army builders between now and the end of the year I’ll be content.
>>11699229Me either but when I am shopping I enjoy seeing them, even if it just the cross over stuff I lost interest in. >>11699276I'm an avid fan of the sketch book stuff and I hate I missed on spikor for cheap, I'm just not that high on the cross over stuff following the TMNT series and how quickly it became a huge pain in the ass again to find figures. I'm likely one of the only ones that still hold sunman in a positive light and while it doesn't count I got into origins after seeing the new day figure from the WWEternia series. Sorry, I'm rambling but while I might think the thunder cats stuff looks cool it's just not for me.
>>11699021Shit that could explain the pink Trap Jaw or why they don’t have that cool purple Sorceress
>>11699292>I even loved the Transformer ones and am not sure why they were hated so much.The translation to figure and even characters picked to link up was pretty meh. Still bought extras for parts. People were telling Mattel at the reveal that the character crossovers selection should have been better. MAA/Brawn alone is a go-to.TMNT x MOTU started well. Too many of the four brothers instead of more characters. TC x MOTU is great for getting Lion-o, Panthro, Cheetara, Tygra with Classic forms. BC Man and repaint Panthor Man is creative. Why repaint Lion-o and Panthro already? Will there be Tygra and Cheetara repaints?
>>11699220I hope we still get origins styled crossovers. I really enjoyed them, even the "weaker" ones like TF and Stranger Things.
>>11699292I got the sense Transformers irked alot of people because it wasnt the TF cast translated into the MOTU form factor as much as it was MOTU characters in TF cosplay. From the onset alot of fans were upset they werent getting transforming MOTU vehicles, when they realized Mattel wasnt going the pretenders route either it just stung. I'm still wondering if they'll bother with TF repaints. Nemesis Faker, Cliffjumper at Arms, G2 Skeletron, and Skywarp Scareglow would probably sell well as two pack or four pack exclusives.
>>11699318I'm honestly surprised they didnt pad out the entirety of Wave 3 with just palette swap recolors. Ofcourse Panthor-Man is just that, but in place of gold Lion-O and silver Panthro they could have covered Bengali and Pumyra (repaints of Tygra and Cheetara respectively). Hell now that I think about it even Lynx-o would have been a pretty easy repaint, he's Panthro with a beard.
>>11699276I really like Sketchbook releases too. I hope we get more of those. I dont understand why they always clearance.Also hope for more Filmation Cartoon Collection figures. Feels like we are still scratching the surface.AND WHERE IS THE PRINCESS ADORA ORIGINS FIGURE, DON'T THINK I FORGOT MATTEL
>>11699400Numbers just aren’t there for mass retail it seems
Has anyone tried to partswap together a crossover chimera yet? If anyone has the parts I suggest a /toy/ voltron of sorts.>Optimus Prime He-man head + armor >ToG turtle torso and arms>Standard Origins waist + Lion-O legs, boots, and belt>Hellfire-man Guitar and flame sword
Same anon as 11699350Genned these as a proof of concept
>>11699220So what incentive does anyone not already buying them now have to start buying 200x if Mattel aren't going to finish it? I don't even feel comfortable buying the Mondo fucks because they have no chance of finishing the character roster before I turn 60.200x gets screwed again.No point in buying all of the movie figures either since they will probably get distracted due to their ADHD brain and stop making them next year to focus on whatever dumb new crossover they think of.
>>11699220>exclusivethats fucking shit, we're gonna get like 6 figures a year now split between vintage, oc donuts, filmation, and 200x, no one will be satisfied
>>11699425>PumyraI'd wait on G2 Megs, but Cliffjumper, Thundercracker, and Scurge are my jam
>>11699543All you'd need is the new hair piece. Everything else could just be a repainted Cheetara.>I'd wait on G2 Megs, but Cliffjumper, Thundercracker, and Scurge are my jamCliffjumper really is my favorite of the bunch. I cant shake the feeling the decision not to do silver robot faces really tanked the concept for alot of people. All the others are cherries atop the sundae. Scourge/Nemesis Faker and Skywarp especially so. G2 Skeletron I can see being the peg warmer of the bunch but I just thought the colors would work so well. When I get more credits I'll try a Disco Skeletron for laughs.
>>11699220>>11699530That's not too bad, there's a lot of axelslop to skip but at least we're not getting 30 sun men and minicomic recolors with 0 new tooling that sit at Walmart for years.Wraptrap and the other cool ones will come in time.
>>11699220Pixel Dan said there are rumors about it replacing Origins but that he could not get confirmation and that he didn't know. >>11699499200x has already covered most of the main cast and if they keep going at this pace we'll get everyone by the end of 2026. Have faith brother.
Still need 200X Teela before it can die
>>11699668I saw earlier that there was a rumor that the next 200x wave is Teela, Orko, Merman, and Deluxe Roboto. I just hope Teela comes with her sword, staff, and shield. I feel like all three are pretty important and this line has skimped a bit on accessories.
>>11699220>lists a bunch of lies and speculation
>>11697211Look no further than this article herehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/He-Man_as_a_gay_icon
>>11697211What >>11697725 saidThere are no romantic or sexual things in it at all (well maybe one or two characters getting protective or flirty once in awhile, coughFrostacough). I think its fair for people to see He-Man as a gay icon sort of deal if they want to see that, even though I don't see anything speifically gay about him myself. People will see what they want to see. He's a positive influence in the Filmation cartoons regardless. I don't think there's anything satanic about it. Sure there is the normal magic, sorcery, calling upon Castle Grayskulls for power, etc. but those are all common tropes in fantasy and not specifically satanic though. Evil is still treated as evil and encouraged be stopped while doing good. But you are the parent so you should make that descretion yourself.
>>11697316>Hiding scerets about yourself from your parents.Except he doesn't actively hide it from his parents. He told his dad indirectly in an episode and his mom outright told him she knew he was He-Man in one episode. Lying to his parents about it is something Adam tells Sorcereress he doesn't like doing. Most of the shit you're listing wasn't really considered gay in the 80s and most of your examples come from the cartoon aimed at girls. You're looking at things through tainted modern lenses. In the 80s a rainbow was just a rainbow and two men could ride on a horse together without it being gay.
>>11695067Cannot believe it's a Hollywood movie that gave us back the iron cross emblem. Worth a buy just for that.
>>11699025>>11699029>embodiment of Eternia's magic: it's physically impossible to do that>Orko: screw the rules I have a floppy hat
>>11699578Pixel Dan is a clickbaiting dipshit like every other YouTuber, sticking "REPLACING ORIGINS?!?!" in thumbnail and "ORIGINS DONE?!" as his title only to start the video with "jk i have no real information, lol"And Anon clearly didn't even watch the video and treats thumbnails as news, or did and is purposely being disingenuous to piss people off.
>>11699702Most of it is INSANELY OBVIOUS projection from a closet faggot.
>>11699220Piss off with your lies. He makes it clear he's just speculating. I dont even know if movie has enough characters that it would be possible to release as many figures as Origins does, especially year after year until sequel.>>11699356They decided that putting big names on shelves would work better (and it kinda did since some people decided to mix skin tones and clothes) than more obscure characters that would either need new tooling or look very off-model.>>11699499I'll be honest, I was never under the impression that Cartoon Collection will complete any line-up. Im kinda annoyed we don't have CC Khan because he's the only recurring Evil Warrior we need now for full set but I was never convinced we're getting Zodac, Sorceress, Fisto, Mekaneck, Jitsu, Roboto, Sy-Klone, Moss Man, Rokkon, Stonedar, Modulok, Horde Trooper and Multi-Bot. Just as I didn't expected New Eternia do to all characters. Movie has some chance of getting all characters...if it's successful.>>11699675Sorry to burst your bubble but I dont recall Teela using a sword too much (I think it breaks in second episode) and shield at all in the cartoon so I doubt she'll have them. You'll have to get them from Zoar 2-pack Are they that important even? MEr-Man likes dual wielding, Skeletor pulls out blade to sword-fight He-Man but why Teela Teela would need all those? They're used for similar purposes and she cant wield all of them at once.>>11699702Bunch of superheroes hide secrets from their parents, this is just Queer trying to own everything.
>>11699350Exactly, it looked like some cosplayer wearing cardboard boxes and saying they were a transformer. Those figures irked me like snake men irk most of the people here.
>>11699757Nooo I clicked the obvious clickbait video fuck that fucker Pixel Dan, give me back my click AHHHH!!
>>11699793Not making Sorceress in CC is just as bulshit as not making Kobra Khan imoShe's one of the three that knows the secret, she's in the opening credits and is in just about every important episode. It's egregious to exclude her.
>>11699825yeah sorceress is easily the most essential character missing from the cartoon collection, other than maybe an updated battle cat.
>>11699874I was hoping for plundarr or evil seed, some one shot bad guys to flesh out the line. But yeah, it's odd they didn't offer a sorceress..

>>11700284It was supposed to be here today but has spent two days sitting in the next town over. I haven't seen any pics of him either so maybe we are all waiting for delivery. It's my first motu of 2026 so hopefully this is the beginning of a strong start leading up to the movie dominating the figure lines for awhile. I just wanna blow him up or run dragstor into him or hit him with the roton or feed him to landshark. I'm ready to blast.
So there's no more Masterverse coming to stores right? I should probably just ebay kobra khan...fucking crap ass bullshit.
>>11700491There has been no official word but rumor is Masterverse will be phased out in favor of Chronicle. Wait for toyfair. Its next weekend and we should get more details. Chronicle figures have way better articulation so you might want to wait and see if its just better starting over.
>>11700129"Nostalgia bait"
Every time a line fails, they replace it with another line at a different scale.
>>11700070The casting and costume for her are both highly unappealing and I can't quite word why
>>11700129Nostol-jek >Master of all trades
>>117005532021 cartoon and Masterverse are the only He-Man lines that have really failed in modern times. Surprisingly given that you'd think the brand would be dead by now. Classics and Origins both did really well and each more or less finished the entire He-Man cast, including a hefty amount of unproduced or non-toy characters. Classics also did all the humanoid She-Ra characters. I think Classics even did all the New Adventures characters and most of the original 200x characters.Masterverse failed because it came too soon after Classics ending and was all over the place. Classic fans weren't ready to restart. They were either content with what they had, or wanted more obscure shit. Masterverse was all over the place too. It started as a line for the Netflix show before attempting drastic redesigns with its New Eternia/New Etheria line but by that point most people were tuned out. The recent swerve into recreations of the original line didn't do well either because that's what Origins already did. I think if they do a movie line and then shift into something like New Eternia/New Etheria it'd be more of a success.
>>11700581CGI He-Man?
>>11700558I can word it...it's not toy colorsLike, ok, I'm not foolish enough to insist they give her body paint, I'm more talking about the costume. Evil-lyn wears purple and blue. Why is this solid black? Every other character seems to wear the right colors, even if they're muted. They made Evil-lyn completely dull in a world where everyone else retained some of the colorfulness
>>11700581>Classics also did all the humanoid She-Ra characters. I think Classics even did all the New Adventures characters and most of the original 200x characters.They even gave us aNew Adventures of She-ra OC
>>11700581>>11700731Classics didn't do half the NA cast.They only did Flipshot, Hydron, Mara from the Guardians and Flogg, Slushhead, Quake, Crita, Karatti and Optikk from the Mutants
>>11700720She does has blue scratches all over her armor though I admit, it's very "early 2000 superhero movie" school of character design.
>>11700581I think the unfocused nature of master verse really hampered any interest in the line. First it's the Netflix shows, then it's newer takes on the classic designs, then it's new eternia and then it's vintage and don't forget the oc stuff sprinkled in like the battle damage he man. There were some really top notch figures like vykron or slush head but the lack of cohesion was a big issue. Did they ever do any NA figure to pair with slush head? Oh, has anyone got Despara yet? Im getting one to go with Hordak and She ra but I was curious if anyone had any issues with her.
>>11700792there's a lot to be said about how Mattel has handled motu the last half decade. I agree with your points.I completely skipped MV for a lot of reasons, I just want chunky articulated vintage style dudes who can scratch that itch. I never had the vintage since I'm a sooner, and I love all the colorful concept stuff. Sucks the movie has dulled down everything a lot.
>>11700792Only He-Man and Skeletor. Basically aside Revelation and New Eternia any subline was treated like redheaded stepchild. I bet in retrospect, they regret pushing for subline theme.
Origins he man and skeletor reissues up on amazon for preorder
>>11700802I think if they would have presented master verse as an umbrella name and treated each wave like a mini series it would have made more sense in the long run. Like, "Master verse presents: New Eternia" or "Revelations'. It may have helped the line feel more cohesive I think.
>>11700068Did they make this with ai? Because that man at arms doesn’tvlook like Idris Elba
About actor Jared Leto wanting to play Skeletor:>TRAVIS KNIGHT: "Skeletor was a really interesting villain. He looked cool. He was scary. He was funny. He was insecure. And then of course he had this distinctive voice. I wanted someone to craft their own version of that. "Jared approached us, because he loves Skeletor and has his own history with the character. He wanted to swing for the fences. And ultimately we landed on something that I’m really happy with. Skeletor’s kind of the embodiment of toxic masculinity.”About in previous iterations, Skeletor was going to be wearing a mask:>"It wasn’t always going to be this way. A Masters Of The Universe reboot has been in the running for years, and previous iterations of the screenplay had Skeletor’s visage as a golden skull mask. “I said, ‘Fuck that shit. Skeletor has a skull face. That’s just the way it is. It’s a living, talking, emoting skull, and that’s that.” https://he-mania.com/2026/02/actor-jared-leto-asked-to-play-skeletor-plus-previous-scripts-had-skeletor-in-a-golden-mask-per-director-travis-knight/

>>11701156>Skeletor’s kind of the embodiment of toxic masculinity.”Can someone who has watched the filmation cartoon and is some sort of normal person neither a chud nor shitlib please explain what the fuck this even is supposed to mean in the context of Skeletor? Because my memory is he is evil and laughs NYA HAHAHA because he is evil. Like was the guy generating click bait for money or just that clueless this sounds bad. I'm so tired of this shit guys I'm not going go make it. I made my peace with the raceswaps. I made my peace with Nu Ra even...stop it. Just stop saying things till the movie is out please.
>>11701326The interview just reads like the crew spitting out endless strings of buzzwords. At this point I wonder if they're serious or if this is all just a promotional song and dance. It wasnt that long ago that Mattel's head of entertainment (whatever the correct title was) came out and began dishing out comparisons between this MOTU movie and Barbie while spitting word salads of similar comprehension, or lack there of.
>>11701355Ok I feel dumb for even trying to understand now.
>>11701220Because the dislike towards Leto is very recent and studios haven't really caught up to the public turning on him. Skwad was a misstep but Morbius killed his reputation and turned him into a joke and most of these contracts were likely in the works before then.
>>11701326I think they're saying he's whiny, insecure, and the cause of most of his own problems. Which he is but the way they're saying it is retarded political speek. The first line about his personality was enough. I really do hope they keep what a whiny little shit Skeletor is in the original. I love in Evilseed when Evil-Lyn asks him to help her but he says no, and then proceeds to call Merman to come help him and whines at a trapped Merman because he asks Skeletor to come help him instead, so then Trap-Jaw finally helps him and the entire time Skeletor sits on his ass and complains about what a shit job Trap-Jaw is doing protecting him. Its gold and that's the kind of villain I want on screen.
>>11701326He's really buff and a bad person.I wouldn't say Filmation Skeletor was "toxic" in the sense of hurting everyone around him (that treatment of his henchmen was in 200X though), just the sort of boss who berates and refuses to help out of sheer pettiness.
I found the Mumm-Ra Skeletor on sale at Walmart for $20 today as a heads-up. Also got myself a Cartoon Collection Faker while I was there.
Is there anywhere that sells cheap Origins/vintage compatible accessories (ideally in bulk?). Like swords/staves/guns/etc.I got a vintage thunder punch he-man since he's cheaper than the origins one, but without accessories since it was 15 dollars cheaper (and the sword he has is one of the half-ones) but I do like the look of the golden power sword but even buying one on its own is still 10+ dollars
>>11701427Revelations figures are your best bet. They're still going for pennies on the dollar.
>>11701427Look for lots on ebay and price them out per part to see if its worth it. Sometimes you'll find good 70-80 dollar lots with tons of weapons. Also always keep your eye on the specific figure/weapon you want. Sometimes you can get parts you want in pieces with a full or broken figure for cheap.
>>11701320Now that's a figure I'd buy, needs a few red stripes and some black accents but yeah man, looks good. I like the teal or whatever shade you chose.
Just an idle thought...So it was a year and half ago that they said they (allegedly) had Two-Bad fully sculpted.Do you think they actually have entire remainder of vintage already done and ready to go? If they're willing to hold back Two-Bad well over a year, they could very well have EVERYTHING already done at this point and just biding their time, with how little is left.
>>11701314>Without his money, the movie wouldn't have been made.Would have been better for the franchise without having happened
>>11700833>Origins he man and skeletor reissues up on amazon for preorderwtf are these anyway? just the wave 1 figs returned?
>>11701516Yes
>>11701197>jared leto is the embodiment of toxic masculinity
>>11701513They probably do. Two Bad is the last big name character they have left so they probably want to announce him alongside something like the tops or giants so he brings attention to something less notable.
>>11701513I think they do have most of them (if not all) already sculpted and ready to release. As in, I think they have them laid out and ready for production, and its only a matter of someone high up the chain giving the go to push that release out when its time. It may be strategized so they take advantage of molds as best as possible. For example, Great Black Wizard re-using Blast Attack's legs and Blast Attack being released shortly afterwards. They may have been planning for Pythonus to be released around the time of that 4-pack with his head being included in it. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a warehouse full of Pythonus figures collecting dust somewhere.This is all me speculating of course, I have no idea what I'm talking about lol
>>11701514Yes, but Ares had SOME interesting visuals in the film that make it worth it for a massive fan.Like the differences between the ENCOM and Dillinger Grids (the ENCOM one is a server, so it has a bunch of cities in the distance, while the Dillinger one is way more utilitarian and looks like a port), as well as the differences between how the digitization lasers both companies use (Dillinger is faster, uses multiple beams, but has a bunch of excess in the form of runners, while ENCOM still use the OG laser with the temporary cubes).The movie is shit, but it has just enough interesting details that I would rather it exist than not.
>>11701581Pythonus' tooling must exist on a hard drive somewhere, but there's no way they'd put him into production before the Lair's funding finished.
So how far do you guys expect the 200x line to go? How deep? Rumors for wave 4 are Orko, Teela, Mer-Man, and Deluxe Roboto. Wave 5 is rumored to be Buzz-Off, Keldor, and Webstor and Wave 6 is rumored to be Sorceress, Trap-Jaw, and Sy-Klone. But if those end up being the next three waves what would be next? That would leave Mekaneck, Fisto, Whiplash, the cats, and the Snakemen to complete the main cast. King Grayskull is a must but would they do the Horde? Do you think they'd do the characters who were planned for the line before its cancelation? Jitsu, Faker, Clamp Champ, Rio Blast, and Snout Spout were meant to appear if the show continued. They all got staction figures from NECA based on their unreleased figure. Lots of cool side characters too. Scareglow appeared in the 200x comic and he's a popular character so would they do him? I hope we get to see what else this line has for us at Toyfair.
>>11701512I kept fighting the AI to color the harness either silver or red, but it just continued fumbling the request over and over again. Now that I think about it I should have just colored it in on drawing program.Making all these edits really makes me wish Mattel had tried things this way. I've been staring at every edit wishing they were real. Playing with bee at arms in the mean time probably isnt helping lol.
Does the Mr T fist exist in silver with any released figures?I got an idea but it hinges on a silver removable fist
>>11701603You're forgetting Man-E-Faces, Stinkor and, Two-BadThey could even force Faker and yes, they would absolutely do Horde. They did CC Fang Man and Faker, and they had one episode. And there are always new characters.
>>11701832There is also Randor even if we don't need another one that badly.
>>11701826Your best bet is revelations fisto
>>11701832They have a whole slew of snake man repaints worth considering too. They wont bother touching any of those though.
>>11701846Wait, you can remove Rev Fisto's fist? I heard it wasn't removable
>>11701826Speaking of the WWE crossover, I've got a mostly complete Jake the Snake on the way and would Ike to get a replacement mask for him. I also have an Origins Man-E-Faces comingwho needs a blaster. As someone who's entirely new to collecting MOTU stuff, are there any good sites to find replacement parts for figures?
Are you buying Rotard when they'll release him?
>>11701958Depends on if they release him first or second.Twistoid is the cooler Zoid. Rotar is only worth having as a companion piece to Twistoid So if Rotar comes first I'll skip until Twistoid comes out and buy them together If Twistoid comes first I'll buy him immediately and get Rotar whenever.
>>11701958I'm already Rotarded
>>11701854I think that anon is mistaken. Unless you actually can with hot water for something. The fist itself is diecast which is neat and I wish they did it more.
>>11701826Just buy a silver paint marker or gundam marker and color it yourself if you dont want to learn how to paint
Transformers the Movie would have fit He-man better than the original series IMO.Prince Adam + Hot RodHe-Man + Rodimus PrimeTeela + Arcee Man at Arms + either Ultra Magnus or Springer because green Wheelie + Orco Either King Randor or King Grayskull + Optimus Prime Keldor + Megatron Skeletor + Galvatron Evil Lyn + Starscream Unicron as Castle Greyskull itself. I dont care if it doesn't make sense. Unicrons floating head is iconic and Castle Greyskull spooky assed giant head is iconic. Maybe they killed him and put it there after they beat him and not before. Or it's a separate castle modeled after the Ark. Or Hordak. All the rest of the evil Warriors or horde and MotU could be whoever else it doesn't really matter much. I can't think of anymore that match anyways.
>>11701982Wouldn't Man-At-Arms be Kup? For some reason I think Mekaneck/Perceptor.
>>11701826Yeah, there's a guy who does a lot of repro parts and that's one of themhttps://barbarossa-customs.mybigcommerce.com/stg-strong-cyborg-origins-compatible-oversized-right-fist/?searchid=29339&search_query=Fist
>>11701197>Skelechud
>>11702007Man at Arms doesn't feel as old as Kup to me. But also it's more about trying to fit the leaders first. And both wear armour. But it still works. Mekanek as Perceptor is perfect. His weapon is actually a telescope.
>>11700445>>11700447Bullseye clearance or some such shit. I looked for something else today, but they did have some random uninteresting MOTU - But sometimes it's just a very few random things so can sell quickly.
See you soon.
Ruined my sleep schedule. Cooked up more repaints
Probably should have detailed who's who. Top left is T-Wrecks, top right is Magnus (obviously), bottom left is Toxitron/Slime Pit He-man, and bottom right is Waspinator.
>>11701958https://youtube.com/shorts/FEvCYz4tZYo?si=sUNZH59zhfkZOQbeLook at'em go!
>>11701958Instantly, possibly more than one copy>>11703477They're such fun little guys, they deserve more love.
Just please once once you have all the figures, post a photo of him, Roboto and Extendar picking up chicks so we can use it as thread picture.
>>11703660I'm gonna post the exact opposite picture, and post Twistoid, Dragstor and Spikor picking up... dudes
>>11703660The way this Italian artist drew Eternian women cracks me up. I don't know why, since Filmation OC outfits were just as incongruent with the toy aesthetic.
>>11701581Is this real?
>>11703854That 2-headed snake? Yeah, he was part of 4-pack this year, it has OC army builders for each faction that required almost no new tooling.
>>11703889Oh, thanks. I know what you're talking about. Bah. I wanted to get it as a single figure.
>>11701581Masterverse Two-Bad, Cartoon Collection Two-Bad, TMNTwo-Bad we even got fucking Snake Two-Bad before vintage one.
Hopefully by the end of this week we'll know what the Feb 24th drop is. Usually we get the teaser pics two weeks before sale, and then the full reveals and countdown page one week before.
T/f, people will be fooled into still buying masterverse
>>11701577>Two Bad is the last big name character they have left so they probably want to announce him alongside something like the topsThat'd be a good idea for SDCC just so Origins doesn't get completely mogged by movie hype. Maybe slip Stonedar in somewhere unannounced like they did Blast-Attak over the spring and then announce Two Bad and the tops side by side at the con. Then the movie, lasers and giants can coast on "vintage will finally get finished!" hype so they won't necessarily need a big name to carry them if they have that alternative marketing angle
>>11703720The chick in red isn't too different from Frosta but without the white titty accents.
>>11704021Only army builders
>>11704021I just ordered AE He-Man. He better finally ship this time and not get canceled.
>>11704426I just got mine in from amazon. I was afraid they were going to cancel him but he came. Although my 2 desparas seem to be sitting in shipping hell
>>11703720I wish we got shit like this over axle OCs I irrationally hate them now
>>11704636It's really time for them to give us a break from them>October was Axelshit>November was Axelshit>December we got a reprieve >But then January was Axelshit again (but at least we got two Jan drops so it wasnt ALL Axelshit)Like, seriously, we've got so much shit to choose from between cartoons, PoP, comics, sketchbook and story books, there's no reason they can't give us a little more variety.
>>11699788Preach.
>>11704660There is only so little Axel stuff left. We gotta get some other stuff soon. I hope we get more variety too.
>>11705805>There is only so little Axel stuff leftProblem with that is that he's always making up new shit, so there's never gonna be an "end" until Origins dies. It's not just "unproduced stuff he made up in Classics"Since Origins began he made up Stingor, the purple cyclops, an evil cosmic enforcer guy, a second Horde scorpion guy, the chameleon man, and most recently the purple dragon guy on GBWs boxart. Even if we got to the end of those + the unproduced classics figures, he'd just make up flurry of new ones in the interrim. I think there was a Horde ice guy too, but that wasn't on an official Origins release, I think it was one of those European con exclusive weapons packs like the Repulsive Reptile set or something
>>11705845And unfortunately there's two OCs I've seen that I'd actually buy if Mattel made them, but the chances of one of them happening are pretty slim, too.
>>11705866Which two? You got me curious now
this thread is dead and all I want right now is sketchbook series dudes
>>11706031Cartoon Collection has given us basically everything we need for the witch>Basic bitch body>Marlena's blouse>Weaver's sleeves >She-Ra 's skirt We just need the head and the accessories (broom and amulet)Boots optionally if you want full artwork accuracy, but that's a detail I wouldn't care if they fudged with a pair of existing lady boots
>>11706044No! She needs new boots so they have less excuse to not make Adora.
>>11706109I wonder if they're holding off from an SPOP cartoon collection in anticipation of the Amazon show
I recognize it is old hat now and nobody cares but part of me is still bummed out by how shortlived and mismanaged the TF crossover was. Making those edits left me yearning for alot of those figures to be a reality.
>>11706117there's supposed to still be a transformer crossover from hasbro. Eventually.
>>11706119I know, but those will be actually transformable. I was honestly into the idea of the TF cast being reimagined as 5.5. barbarian guys. I own Bee at Arms and I cant put him down. He's so cool in his own right. Just leave the battle mask on and he's basically his own man.
>>11706109>He-Ro's alter ego took precedence over She-Ra's lollmao even
>>11706216This guy will make a great addition to my collection of dudes I'm not buying
>>11706373If he (presumably) and Sharella weren't locked behind the paywall, they're generic enough to make ideal crowd builder villagers. Three or four of each of them plus an Eldor to be the village elder and they could be He-Man's tribe
>>11706373Spoken like a true /motu/ veteran.I do not understand their thinking. They didn't make these characters in the 80s because they were lame. So now they want to bring them back...makes no sense. Especially when you consider they have skipped Adora.
First ones battle cat
First ones skeletor
First ones power sword slash hemanThis is the action feature one
>>11706662the cat is nice but i really don't know about this helmet, man

>>11706696If it scales well enough with Origins,you can put the vintage mask and saddle on it to have an actual good Battle Cat in your collection
>>11706707This fucks.

>>117065211) Nostalgia fuels them. Look at people wanting He-Man with brown hair and Zodac shirt2) Looking at concept art, rejected ideas of yesterday are better than approved idea of today3) They didn't skipped on Power of Grayskull they cancelled whole MOTU and replaced it with space He-Man. In hindsight, they made mistakes.4) Model on what gets released and what doesn't changed. Back in a day they wouldn't thing how to sell 5 different Teelas, Trap Jaws and Mer-Man, especially without unique action feature on each.
>>11706666>>11706777>This new line of 5.5 inch action figures is designed as a more kid-friendly alternative to the adult “Chronicles” line. The initial Masters of the Universe “Core Kids Assortment” will include He-Man, Skeletor, Teela, Beast Man, and Skel-Knight figures (early reports called it “Skelegoon”).>Skelegoon
>>11706726I wonder if the skull colors are just a nod to the vintage toy or they somehow show up in the movie itself.
>>11706976Smells of projection
>>11707170>SkelegoonMaybe someone informed the boomers in charge about what "goon" means in zoomerspeak.
Blowjob Adam >The figures which have 14 points of articulation will cost $10.79 each> Power Sword Slash He-Man and Havoc Staff Attack Skeletor which will cost $16.19 each> Battle Cat which will cost $21.59 and Roton Assault Vehicle for $37.79.>Skeletor Talking Mask for $21.59 and the Power Sword replica for $43.19.
