>>11735153Some news regarding the MotU MBS sets:So, with the piece count compared to the figure count, I’m not sure if these “new micro world figures in dynamic poses” are actually articulated, or if they’re called dynamic simply because the poses vary from figure to figure even though each one is static.The Fright Fighter, though, is a helicopter, which gives it the highest chance of using the old micro action figure system. It’s much smaller compared to Castle Grayskull and Snake Mountain, which are full fortresses. Because of that, there are basically three possible outcomes.1. The “new micro world figures” is just a rebrand of the current micro action figure system. That would be the best case scenario. Maybe the Fright Fighter could carry that legacy even if the other two sets don’t, simply because of its smaller size.2. It’s an entirely new figure system. Whether it’s larger than the micro action figure system, or more or less articulated, remains to be seen.3. Worst case scenario, they standardize the 1x1 stud static figure system. You know, the 1x1 Cortana, Roland, Vault Boy, and Squid Game Pink Soldiers. I’m not against that system, but I’m hoping it won’t end up being a cop out that replaces the micro action figure system. Then again, all eyes are on the Fright Fighter… unless they somehow decide to include a 1x1 Skeletor figure with it, which would honestly be kind of laughable.Right now, the full lineup of Mattel Brick Shop Masters of the Universe movie sets seems to be:>Buildable Display Havoc Staff>Buildable Display Power Sword>Buildable Display Skeletor Bust>Castle Grayskull with micro world figures>Snake Mountain with micro world figures>Roton display set>Fright Fighter display set>Buildable Display Battle CatIt really feels like Mattel has given up on aiming these at kids. Mattel Brick Shop looks like it’s going to be geared more toward teens and adults instead.
We also got a leak of new MBS Hot Wheels sets
And a MBS Halo set is coming, possibly this summer or fall. We have some info here
>>11735161And here's the prototype for the diecast warthog that should be included in the set which means more adult style sets. Dunno how to feel about all of this.
>>11735153Why is it so hard for bootlegos to make their own "minifig"?>>11735157It's a fucking shame if Mega dropped their microfigure, that was better than Lego and set them apart.
>>11735166not stepping on patent infringement probably requires making something shitty
>>11735192that said though, Kre-O did the not-minifig thing best, so it's probably also a thing of "everyone for themselves" type of solution
