Tales from Eternia first episode:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-WGvTL3ePYMeh. I rolled my eyes when Skeletor tells Beast Man "Assemble the troops!" and only Trap Jaw gets added to the group.
>>11825182
>>11825183Is the havoc staff supposed to be bent near the top like that?
>>11825192Only if you use it too much
>>11825192Yes. It's like that in the movie aswell.
>>11825182Is this like SDCC or just convenience?
>>11825169For a youtube cartoon I thought it was alright. We're potentially witnessing the last attempt on Mattel's part to market the franchise to young children. More than anything else it reminds me of the other webisodes mattel has produced for the likes of imaginext, dc, and hot wheels. Now I'm just wondering if there's any merchandise planned to coinside with the series. Seems like a great jumping off point for Imaginext MOTU.
>>11825198I imagine it's an E-tail exclusive convienience. That core four pack with goatman was packaged similarly, as were the hot wheels.
>>11825160
>>11825198Mattel creations exclusive
>>11825214Heh
>>11825182>>11825183 That's it? Just packaging two together, no new paint, no extra accessories?
>>11825230There is new paint.
>>11825182>>11825183I wonder if this has the v2 version of skeletor.
>>11825214kek
>>11825183Pretty lackluster for an exclusive with early membership ordering. Maybe if it had been back in April/May...
>>11825303Ya, as an early exclusive that would have been nice. As is, it doesn't introduce much. They could have at least included some extra accessories, like the goblet, and idk, maybe Trap-Jaw's dismembered arm for He-Man.
>>11825183I got to say, movie skelly looks great. I love how they've done his head and hood, I think the crook on the havok staff is so simple but makes such an impact that I wish it was the standard design from the beginning. Really fucking sucks that the few stores in my area aren't stocking the movie figures. I guess theyve chosen to carry toy story 5 (?!?!?) instead of either the motu movie or the new DC line.
>>11825214Poor little brown skull
>>11825182>>11825183>>11825230>That's it? Just packaging two together, no new paint, no extra accessories?>>11825214kekbut the Havoc staff is purple now!
>>11825369If anyone is interested it’s currently 50% off on amazon
>>11825214>>11825160Why come the heroes' castle is a skull? Skulls are bad
>>11825169I wouldnt mind a toyline of this. And I mean a good one, unlike the CG-Man ones>>11825202I appreciate it not being a bean mouth cartoon again.
>>11825383theres a skull inside your head anonmaybe you're the bad guys
>>11825383Skulls are bad, but snakes and fright are worse.
>>11825370Thanks bro
>>11825383The idea the creator of the toys had was >Skulls are a symbol of mysticism >Factions would fight over Greyskull hence the flag that flipped around depending on if you wanted the Evil Warriors or MotU to own it>The castle was the skull of a giant buried in the ground with a castle built around it>It has time warps inside of it with weapons from every era >random people and groups would try to raid it but the more time they spent inside the more theyd go insane >Skeletor became a skull wizard barbarian because he was thrown down the soul of wells sticker full of monsters which is why the castle and main bad guy have skulls>something about ancient aliens cause of a few stickers like the space suit and computer
>>11825389I can relate man. I dont think I could stomach the soul crushing nutshot of beanmouth MOTU after the movie fumbled so hard.>>11825383There was a robot chicken gag about this
>>11825169Would love if they made Chronicles versions of He-Man and Skeletor like they did with the CGI cartoon in Masterverse. It's cool to see such a different shape in the same line with the same articulation scheme.
>>11825393Those are all still under the "bad" umbrella
>>11825383There's a skeleton hiding inside you right. now
>>11825383Broadly speaking Greyskull is a font of power that is not strictly good or evil in nature (which is why it's a problem if Skeletor were to get his hands on it)It's guarded by the powers of Good because Evil having it would be a problem
>>11825487Scareglow and Skeletor are skull bad guys. So it still doesnt make sense that it's good at all. There aren't even skull good guys
>>11825214lmao. Honestly I think even the popcorn bucket looks better even if the new one has the neat aspect of including Snake Mountain
>>11825531There's also a nice Funko POP of the movie Castle. Got mine this week from Walmart. The full castle is rendered in chibi style.>https://funko.com/pop-sorceress-with-castle-grayskull-live-action/93632.html
>>11825534Stupid thing dropped my pic. This review sounds like a douche, but you can see the backside of it.https://youtu.be/fBW9HcXHT50?t=883
>>11825531I got one for my birthday, I saw someone paint it green on Facebook and I might copy that idea.
>>11825383>Why skulls?https://youtu.be/ToKcmnrE5oY
>>11825512I thought you were just pretending to be retarded as a joke...
>>11825512Does Man E Faces skull show up in anything else besides Masterverse?
What the fuck do you mean telescopic stars on his boots lets him see through walls?
What the fuck do you mean Fisto's hand is massive before he put on the massive fist?
>>11825614The cartoon?
>>11825183Not even a new head for Adam? Or even some effects?
>>11825615I never understood the hate for Sun-Man, it's pure schizokino. Axe Cop tier nonsense.
>>11825614He has one dedicated episode in filmation. I dont think he came back after that debut. 200X gives him the most screentime of all the MOTU seried. Then he showed up in the netfñix stuff, and that's about it. I still hate his CGI design.
>>11825697The only thing I hate is that its impossible to find the original lore outside of that comic. I swear they all had profiles on the official site. And then they only showed up in the cache. What is Sunman hiding?Also the Phoenix thing is cool. Idove to see a redesign that goes full chinese/japanese Phoenix with multiple tails and ornate wings and shit.
Apparently they're moving ahead with the MOTU sequel.
>>11825965Where'd you hear that? Oddly, today I woke upto a youtube news feed of doom and gloom today doubling down on the movie being a bomb and killing the franchise.
>>11825979https://www.forbes.com/sites/carolinereid/2026/06/19/masters-of-the-universe-set-for-sequel-despite-dismal-box-office/
>>11825981I'm simultaneously overcome by feelings of overwhelming hope and dread
>>11825981Please god let He-man be more competent and badass in the sequel
>>11826027>>11826025>>11825981here we go again...
19 Tales from Eternia episodes left to go...Let's assume that each 5-minute story can only introduce one new character. I'm guessing the next one will introduce either Orko or Evil-Lyn plus our first full view of the Sorceress. Ep 3 will have whichever of those didn't already appear. Who's your wish list for the remaining 17?Marlena with Randor as a freebie?Man-E-FacesBuzz-OffSnout SpoutRio BlastExtendarMer-ManWebstorKobra KhanNinjorBlast AttakTwo Bad, Spikor, Stinkor or Scare Glow... too hard to chooseModulokHordakMantennaGrizzlorLeech
>>11825981I guess their plan is that it will eventually break even even in the worst case, and the toys are pure profit?
Any good movie Roboto figures?
Evil Warriors fans: there are 2 B-listers in your faction but everyone forgets to include them, no matter how obscure the ones they do remember.Which 2 do I mean?
>>11825981Told you buncha doomers.
>>11826122No one will believe it until the sequel comes out. How do you lose money and keep making the thing that loses you money?
>>11826052>20 episodes>episode one lightly focused on he-manLet's say the next 9 each focus on the major heroic warriors, then the additional 10 focus on the evil warriors. Skeletor, Lynn, and Beastman like MAA and Teela each take up one ep each. If I had to guess we'll see Mek, Battle Cat, Ram Man, Fisto, Orko, along with all the evil warriors that appeared in the film. I'd be surprised if they deviate from that line up but MEF, Zodac, Stinkor, the Snakemen, Meteorbs, and Gygor would all be cool.
>>11826137Mattel has infinite Barbie money forever, the He-Man movie is an investment in trying to revive their boy brand equivalent. It's a loss in terms of box office but it was successful with both critics and audience and has tons of positive press all around the internet, so as a very expensive advertising campaign it can be seen as a success. Keeping the brand in the public eye is a benefit if the Big Naked Gigachad Barbarian trend starts coming back around.If the SECOND movie is also a big flop they will probably wind the push down.
>>11826143Mattel already has its boy brand back now. It's DC.
>>11826137Merch moolah and Amazon can piss money if it wants.
>>118260521. Randor2. Marlena3. Zodak4. Tri-Klops5. Blade6. Count Marzo7. Lt. Dian8. Clamp Champ (revealed as black Duncan's son)9. Dekker (revealed as black Duncan's father)10. Andra11. Karg12. Hordak13. Despara14. Adora15. She-Ra16. King Miro17. Goat Man
>>11826137>How do you lose money and keep making the thing that loses you money?
>>11826145True, and that proves they have a vested interest in having a boy brand. But since they're merely a licensee for DC they also have an interest in maintaining a homegrown IP. Kind of like how Hasbro keeps Transformers and GI Joe going even though Disney fans probably make up 90% of their profits with the Legends and BLACKED lines.
>>11826143I pray they recognize and accept fan complaints of the first film as they undertake the creation of the sequel. This first movie is so painfully close to getting it. If by the grace of god the second movie can deliver on a generally competent action heroy He-man in addition to all the splendor of Eternia we'll make it. If not it's fucked.
>>11825537Neat
>>11825965Of course they are, the shitty film was just a giant toy commercial to sell merch and that's all they care about.
>>11826145Nah, they're just borrowing that and can lose it at any time. They want an in-house brand to throw around and He-Man is perfect for that. I mean they do also have Hot Wheels, which also prints money. But that has different societal connotations and doesn't really have the same kind of "nerd following" a traditional Good v Evil story will bring in. >>11826292That's what really pissed me off the most about the film. It didn't have to be the best thing every created, it just had to be good and solid. But they actively went out of their way to undercut any kind of dramatic tension while also insulting itself and the franchise as a whole in the worst way possible. The entire film felt like it was written by people who straight up dislike the franchise, which is kind of a kick to the teeth for people who genuinely DO like the franchise and all it's silliness.
>>11825981Capitalism always wins!
>>11825503Who's mustachio head did you use for this custom?
>>11826337>I mean they do also have Hot WheelsThey also own Matchbox which has been turned into a modern F&F/Hobbs&Shaw movie with John Cena coming to Apple soon. For some reason they were willing to offer Matchbox over Hot Wheels to test the movie audience.For those that didn't read the article from the UK a couple of months ago, Barbie - for all the big box office hype numbers - translated into total shit for sales for Mattel. Mattel is certainly moving much more MOTU product right now in connection to the Amazon engine than Barbie was doing. So if a sequel is already being greenlit to at least start pre-production (script, retain cast, early budgeting and casting ideas) then I would say internally MOTU the Movie did well enough for early expectations and long term goals are likely still in-line with their vision.>>11826337>The entire film felt like it was written by people who straight up dislike the franchiseI disagree with this statement more than anything. I think it was carried by people who definitely loved the franchise and were trying to find a balance between hardcore fans (us), casuals (those who "remember" the idea of MOTU - also sometimes us), and those who mostly just know Robot Chicken or memes more than anything concrete (hi /co/).If you ask me to name the most difficult thing of a GI Joe convention, it's that so many are hardcore to the point they know the comics, cartoons, and file cards inside and out. Those hardcore fans are to difficult to please and push everyone on the edge wanting to know more out too easily. In MOTU this was the .ORG forums. Anyone who remembers the Classics era knows how rough and hardcore .ORG got on the forums. With the fall of .ORG's forums you know have smaller hubs like /motu/ or /leddit/ or even /fb/ where it's more a mixture of people together.<tbc>
>>11826365><tbc>So when the movie is trying to do the memes people recall, hit the story beats and action people expect, and make it an accessible story to new people: Adam's journey from fish-out-of-water into the hero's journey, MAA's failed protector story and chance at redemption, Teela's... well Teela didn't get as much honestly so she was more a transition character in support of Adam and MAA's stories while her own journey was pretty reduced by comparison so I might have to think longer about her role after seeing the movie a couple of weeks ago. But the point is there's a lot to cover and this is a lot of good groundwork here trying to make fans happy and new people be interested. Given the constant praise I see the movie get I would say the studio did a good job trying to establish a solid enough base to build off of not unlike Iron Man which was made at a time with zero world building really in mind.
>>11826365>(hi /co/).Hello!
>>11826365Yea no, there was no "attempt to find balance", most of the characters were played as completely unlikable assholes throughout the entire film. All the Masters were dicks the entire movie, Mossman was a sacrificial lamb who's death was played as a joke, the Sorceress was played off as some goofy chick in a bird costume, Randor died to a full on looney toons gag, and they were actively embarrassed about the names of all the characters including and especially the main freaking hero of the franchise. They made the same "Fisto fists people!" joke a dozen times and it wasn't funny the first time. The entire movie was filled with awful, bad cringey movie to the point where the least cringey character in the entire film was ironically Cringer.And Jared Leto didn't even play Skeletor. He played the Joker cosplaying as Skeletor, right down to using the same awful laugh people hated from that awful harley movie. the visual design departments put in lots of overtime to get this movie to look great, but every other aspect of the film just felt like they wanted nothing to do with the franchise at all. If the movie isn't going to care about it's own characters, how can you expect the audience to care?
>>11825617Because it's better
>>11826337>That's what really pissed me off the most about the film. It didn't have to be the best thing every created, it just had to be good and solid. But they actively went out of their way to undercut any kind of dramatic tension while also insulting itself and the franchise as a whole in the worst way possible.>The entire film felt like it was written by people who straight up dislike the franchiseI can relate and my thoughts mirror much of your own, however I'm much more forgiving of the movie overall. Really the bulk of the film's problems are easily ignored if you ditch the millenial humor and stop making such an ass of Adam. There were so many points in the first half where I kept thinking "guys, just reel it in. this is too far". The movie desperately needed more ass-kicking He-man and less Don Knotts Adam. The Trapjaw fight specifically should have marked the turn of the tide but they kept going and that's when it starts feeling like a piss take. That doesnt turn around up until the Skeletor fight!>>11826366Agreed. Some anons disliked the Don Quixote angle with Adam but I thought it a brilliant take for the character in today's world, something people under 30 could really relate to, but again alot of that gets undercut by Adam being a buffoon. You had something great there but you just insisted on retarding He-man in his own film. The Thor movies, for as much as I dislike them and consider them awful adaptions of the Kirby source material, atleast began with a competent adaption of Thor before throwing everything they got right out the window in exchange for a bizarre golden retriever puppy-man take on the character. MOTU by contrast has done the exact opposite and I worry how that will pan out. At the very least the ending of the movie we got opens the door to cool shit. If they sideline He-man in the sequel to have She-ra show him up we're fucked.
>>11826387It's important to keep in mind Adam was teleported to Earth as a kid. The Heroic Warriors essentially endured 15 years of Skeletor's rule and so they've become jaded and cynnical. His return, for as much as they laugh and disrespect him, acts as a means to reignite the fire in their hearts. There's a charm to the idea of Adam serving as a Pollyanna-type given the stakes, but again it's betrayed but the unnecessary humor. As for Mossman I dont buy his demise. For starters Skeleto needed somebody to make an example of, so it's best that Mossy (the one Master who's effectively immortal) got the short end of the stick than say Fisto or MAA. Even Roboto's death wasnt permanent, so there's no reason to believe Mossman's would be. The only death in the film that does feel believable was Randor's. That entire portion of the movie is frankly the best part because of it! To each his own though. Frankly the cast was far from this's movie's major issue. Everybody did a great job and I struggle to think of a single bad performance. Letotor was a 1 to 1 adaption of the 200X version with some Tim Curry sprinkled in, and he carries the movie hard as a result. I really dont see the comparison to suicide squad joker at all. In closing I agree the fisto joke is fucking eyerollingly terrible and all the other gags in that vein were no better.
Why is War Paint He-man in stock in bongland but not America?
>>11826335Pretty fitting considering MOTU has always existed as a property to move toys
Anyone thought that the first part of the movie (all the way until time skip to adult Adam) was actually really good and if they kept that tone and balance, movie would be perfect?>>11826052I really hope we'll see more of Eternia and its people. Right now my biggest fear for the show that it will be just the main cast 5 heroes and 4 villains and little elseI think next character short is coming, page claims to have 3 videos with one hidden.I, slighlty sad about those, I recall when leaks suggested next show is movie prequel with character shorts. Im fine with what we're getting (prequel show couldn't even use most of main charactersor get any real story progression) but short little adventures focusing on guys like Teela, Mekaneck, Stratos, etc would be awesome.
>>11826409This happens a lot. UK often gets more product than their consumers want, while companies have difficulty fulfilling the rapacious desires of the US market for plastic
>>11825981Neat. Really enjoyed movie Adam and Skeletor.
>>11826409You guys got the Origins deluxe Trap Jaw and I'm still bitter
>>11826409Its on BBTS
Did I miss the boat on CC Queen Marlena or will they restock? Should I pray to the ROSS God and hope she gets dumped there like Bow and Shadow Weaver?
>next 200x toy is Mer-ManI kinda want Tri-Klops instead, I loved his redesign
>>11826995Amazon still has Tri up for $11 right now.Got the newest 200X wave in. Orko is nice. I like the Teela scuplt and that they're still using the removable armor with that remodeled Cheetara ass/legs. Merman was a fucking handsome prince.
>>11825160From an Ebay listing I found lol
>>11827039I should've been clearer and said Mondo, but I'll check it out. That could use a new desk toy
>>11826407I for one love the Fisto joke. But only because I hate Classic Fisto's small Fisto, and that he just wears a gauntlet. 2002 portrayed him better. I guess it was nice of them to leave Mekaneck alone
>>11827127I like the Fisto/Ram Man jokes, but I have the sense of humor of a juvenile most days. I crack up when someone wants to break the fourth wall with how odd nowadays the code names of Joe characters are.>>11826969I hope she does only because I could use the fodder of her and the king. I'll even take the previous Randors if they can let me get some cheap ones. I bought 8 Orkos and 6 Shadow Weavers for eventual background fodder. Skipping Frosta the first time was a mistake. If more TC show up I need a couple of extra Cheetara, too.
>>11827078I think it's charming that it's placed anywhere. That playset was meant to be moved around than the other Grayskulls
>>11826337>But they actively went out of their way to undercut any kind of dramatic tension while also insulting itself and the franchise as a whole in the worst way possible.From my theater experience with the movie they could've added more cheese and corniness to the flick: Skeletor absolutely terrified some of the kids in the audience. The compromise I guess would be to remove some of the joke lines from the Masters and add more to Skeletor and crew. I am not a He-man fan but the impression I got from the movie is that Travis Knight got the 6 year old and 40+ year old audience appeal right, there were gratuitous deaths and references for the adult audience while keeping the movie kid friendly by not visually depicting Trapjaw getting turned into red paste which also allows the writers to reuse him for a sequel.What I want to know is if they will make a H.R. Skeletor figurine, I want him with the coffee cup and some scaled lame motivational posters
>>11826337>But they actively went out of their way to undercut any kind of dramatic tension while also insulting itself and the franchise as a whole in the worst way possible.They....didn't though. They were quite respectful and was having some well earned fun.
>>11827217no, anon is right and you're retarded>Princes of the Universe song randomly interrupted by the characters coughing and gagging for no reason>they call He-Man's name dumb>Teela's "we're screwed" comment during Adam's fight with trapjaw>Give 'em head Ram Man!I could go on
>>11827268You sound like a miserable man child
>>11827277I don't want sex jokes in heman, I don't want them to call his name dumb, and I didn't like when they had jokes to undercut any serious seen in GOTG either. I'm glad the film bombed.
>>11827279The public opinion of he-man for decades has been that it is gay and camp and bordering on self-parody just by existing, and that’s among even people who grew up with it. I don’t really know why anyone ever expected this movie to be anything but that. It was about as serious as we could hope for given the view people have of it.
Chronicles Movie Orko, has light up eyes
>>11827284there is a big difference between playing it straight, like Adam West's flavor of camp, and the characters acknowledging that their names are dumb. that is the critical difference between the two.It's the audiences job to call Fisto's name dumb. Not the movie's. You can take camp at face value as a child and just enjoy it, or as an adult you can shit on it. For instance, you probably didn't think about how Skeletor's lack of ears and eyes don't make sense. And no one in the film points at Skeletor and goes "ermmm... what the heck, how is THIS guy able to do anything! Gawrsh!"
>>11827268This right here is my only gripe with the movie. First time Fisto joke was ok i get. Next two times I cringed. Also the shoving in locker bit. The He-Man name drop being a joke was so lame. It's like they want you to take the whole IP as a joke. We'll we have a sequel so they can at least fix it in the next movie. Make everyone accept their codenames as if they been using them for years. Calling out to He-Man without giggling like a school girl everytime. Getting a new director who isn't cuck for marvel quips would also be nice, like Peter Jackson.
>>11827268>Princes of the Universe song randomly interrupted by the characters coughing and gagging for no reasonYou definitely didn't know Princes of the Universe if you didn't understand they placed it at the moment of silence before it kicks back in a more upbeat style from the more known ballad opening for Highlander.
>>11827268>the characters coughing and gagging for no reasonFelt like they planned to reveal Stinkor there but then cut him out and never bothered to redo the scene.
>>11827268>characters coughing and gagging for no reasonI think this was the worst joke in the movie but it wasn't for no reason, Adam coughed out "how old is this place". They were coughing from the dust cloud from the wall they broke down. Awful joke, but there you go.
>>11827322that's a terrible reason.>>11827303it kills all the momentum of the scene, it's bad.
>>11827326You don't seem mature enough to understand comedy. Pitiful.
>>11827329maybe you should go back to Thor Love & Thunder, you seem like you're getting upset.
Chronicles Orko! This is a made to order figure, it will only be available from June 22 - July 13. $25.
>>11827498Ordered two. Shame about that release date
>>11827305Wow that is 100% what I was expecting to. Missed opportunity.
>>1182749839cad plus shipping and taxes feels a bit crazy, but I'll probably support it. Maybe get 2, 1 to potentially sell at some point.
>>11826337>while also insulting itself and the franchise as a whole in the worst way possible.Are you talking about Kevin Smith/NuShe-ra turds?
I've decided I cannot wait to buy War Paint He-man, so I'll be grabbing the standard release one along with Mek tomorrow.
>>11826387Ah so you didn't watch the movie, got it
>>11826407>The only death in the film that does feel believable was Randor's.Hope they go for a similar take as Ninja Gaiden from NES and He-Man and She-Ra must fight against Desparor, the strongest warrior in Hordaks army just to discover he's a brainwashed Randor who somehow survived.
>>11827286KINO
Does anyone even post motu toy pictures here anymore
>>11827816I would do it but it has been a rainy season and I don't have a lightbox so the pics aren't as good as I want
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMCf9u0kAzcGod, the soundtrack is so damn good ;_;
>>11827838It's pretty amazing.
>>11827816I'm waiting on my core figures to come until I take new pics
>>11827816Just too tired lately. Can't pop on my pc until late night and 4ch doesn't like phoneposting with pics in incognito mode during the day.I got some new slime from Amazon to test later in the original Slime Pit I dug out. The wife gave me some keyboard cleaner blue slime from Target so I looked up a similar green version. The blue stuff left no sticky anything behind for clean up so hopefully green is as good.

>>11827890Did you do anything with the paint on this one or is it the strong lights that are really bringing out the various colors there?I want the crystal cross. I'll have to get a second for that.
>>11827900>and 4ch doesn't like phoneposting with pics in incognito mode during the day.I downloaded a second browser just for 4chins autism while relegating the main browser to just sfw work junk. BTW I've had some experience with that exact keyboard cleaner gunk. Just know it's not at all viscous, its composition is more comparable to silly putty than slime pit slime.
>>11828007>Just know it's not at all viscous, its composition is more comparable to silly putty than slime pit slime.It actually works pretty well for what we grabbed. MysticHome Super Clean. We shot a quick vid I'm going to try to webm. I blobbed a little coming out of the mouth instead of more runny, but it cleaned up super easy and I mostly want something that will look good for photos later and easy to clean up.
>>11828090First try, but you should get the idea. Reviewers showing off the new Slime Pit have complained about extra time cleaning up the Mattel Slime so I wanted something easier. Funko Jason seemed perfect as a retro to use.
Should Baltard win the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Award?

MotU movie kinda reminds me of the Rocketeer where he's kinda too goofy than what he should be but probably wouldnt have been if there was a sequel. And a lot less cheesecake. Both both were cool.
>>11826137See >>11826208 and seethe. Like seriously, how the hell is this so difficult for your kind to grasp?
>>11828318>where he's kinda too goofy than what he should beHe is the appropriate amount of "goofy" for the character.
first issue of movie tie-in came out.If you wondered why Skeletor was still in Snake Mountain after conquering Eternos: he likes the vibes best there and didn't felt like moving his stuff.
What are the chances of the movie beating Supergirl?
>>11828432From all I've seen it's highly likely. Supergirl might be the biggest bomb of 2026.
>>11828393Easier to break Eternos if you leave it in rubble rather than rebuild for your future overthrow
>>11828451But it's her turn!
>>11828432Ehh. The bigger issue is people lining up like the first Captain Marvel or Wonder Woman movie with that stupid >>11828469 kind of mentality. When they raise money to send groups of girls endlessly to see the movie like it will be inspiring. We saw that with Black Panther as well where a humdrum film ripping off Thor which was ripping off Shakespeare was vaulted to the upper levels of praise for its "diverse" cast of minorities even though it was almost all one particular minority. Not to delve into that /pol/tv/ side of things, but it did get free bucks for it. It was funnier that both WW and Marvel sequels failed because there was no free handout of tickets the second time. Panther ride hard on Boseman having passed away, but still didn't break a billion the second time or have any demand for a sequel film.The Aussie Supergirl actress just needs to learn to STFU just like the Snow White one. Sometimes when a microphone is in front of you don't say whatever comes to mind
I am running around hitting some stores that aren't near me, like GameStop and the few decent LCS in my metro area that also still carry collectibles and toys. There's also a mall nearby and I just had breakfast for lunch with an old co-worker I no longer really see, but he told me about this really old, crowded fire hazard hoarders toy store nearby, knows the owner from his Hot Wheels track race nights. And my co-worker can score a discount from the old dude who runs the place if we find anything.Anyways, was going to treat co-worker and his kid to discount Tuesday matinee of MOTU at the nearby AMC, one of the largest in my county, and they aren't playing it until 10 pm. Only showing.Instead it's hours of World Cup matches!
>>11828318I enjoyed the Rocketeer but even though I am older, rewatching it recently felt like watching molasses. Modern live action has ruined pacing in everything, not just movie. But I enjoyed the Masters movie as someone who has never seen anything but clips of the Dolph/Langella version, and maybe less than 10 episodes of the classic and mostly knows the weird NF cartoon reboot.

>>11828451I think its neck and neck with Disclosure Day, and its funny to me how spielberg and warner bros have failed to adapt to the audience of the next generation when Mattel is taking great pains to build the foundation for such as we speak.
Origins Movie Roboto Deluxe joins Trap Jaw as a Walmart exclusive
>>11828900To be expected. Origins are all exclusives now. They are sunsetting the line anon. Soon it’ll be core and chronicles only.
>>11828848It's been a strange and unprecedented year across all fronts. At this point the only chip left on my shoulder is that mando did better than motu.
Thought of this just now. The ultimate nothing burger which somehow still entertains me.
>>11828916I'm strangely optimistic for core going forward. I had no expectations for this line but it's winning me over everyday.
>>11829016*time traveler moves a chair*
>>11825160i hate how people refer to cartoon network he-man as "200X" like it was a decade spanning monolith instead of a one and a half season show they kept shifting around timeslots for because nobody but Mattel asked for it. Just call it 2002 and stop being fucking losers.
>>11829032200X just sounds cooler than "Cartoon Network He-man".
>>11829025Stink-man and Mermor. I cant help but imagine the two sounding like beavis and butthead.
Nah, it sounds like you don't know when it happened. It's not a hypothetical, it was 2002 and you can just call it 2002. Or MotU02 (moe-two-oh-two) if you want to keep being a faggot about it.
>>11829054replying to >>11829036
>>11829032200X works better for a show that was 2002 and a line from '02 to '04. MOTU, PoP, NA, 200X, CG, Rev. Still better than Star Trek Discovery being STD until the whiny fans tried to force the net to use DIS>>11829038You can't polish a turd, Stink-man.>https://www.youtube.com/shorts/HO6SCPZuDT0
>>11829062>200X works better because am faggotNope, it's actually really dumb and you sound like a Megaman intro.
>>11829032The X stands for "extreme". Everything was extreme in the late 90s and early 2000s. Extreme sports and the X Games. Extreme Dinosaurs. Extreme Championship Wrestling. GI Joe Extreme. Ghostbusters Extreme. Robot Wars: Extreme.Even our terrorism was extreme and had the highest KDR in the history of terror attacks. Why do you think they call them Islamic Extremists?https://youtu.be/E5xqhWWWV1k
>>11829085Cool, so it's two hundred extreme. You just keep it. I'm so happy you could clear all that up by doubling down on being a fucking moron. I'm going to keep calling it a cash grab abortion.
Gotta love try hard west coast burger hours. So creative.
>>11829089>I'm so happy you could clear all that up by doubling down on being a fucking moron.Imagine getting your panties in a twist over a post that was obviously tongue in cheek. You are obviously a retarded tourist, and you should fuck off back to the shit hole board you crawled out from. We've had too many of you retarded faggots shitting up the thread with your dumb cuntery since the movie was released.
>>11829089>relents>>11829103>hurp-a-durp u-mad. I didn't want the movie, you wanted the movie! It's not like it was the last chance this franchise had for survival. MEKANECK IS BETTER IF YOU HAVE TO PUSH SEPARATE ARTICULATED PEGS INTO HIS NECK!The only reason that shit isn't still clogging Big Lots is that Mattel sends them to Hitgoo instead. Your american toy company sends it's discouted surplus to china because americans don't want it. These are just true statements, jimmies unrustled.
>>11829121>Reddit spacingPost a MOTU figure with a timestamp.
>>11829125I keep trash in bins in the garage, but here's a few chunks on top. I'm so sorry you had to resort to 3rd teir reddit strawmen. I was here when MotU 02 was still in it's origional run and you can go fuck yourself after you thank Marmandy Jones.

>>11829151yeah, i fucked up the brackets, but I also made you look at grimlock's dick.
Prime Day has a bunch of Motu MMII, movie stuff and the Concept Greyskull repaint. If anyone remembers I bought the Greyskull earlier this year and got one with white cum flakes in the plastic so I kinda jumped on this. I never had a grayskull since I was a kid. Teal is probably better but I got really into all that old Mark Taylor lore and dont own many sketchbook things. Also the Astronaut is awesome and I missed the first one.
Can we have a "By the power of Grayskull" He-Man with some sword effects and maybe a hand to hold the sword vertically.
>>11829156what's the deal with the placemat underneath? Is it sturdy or just paper? I like that it looks like a huge version of the og pit sticker.
>>11829032>>11829062NTA but by that logic, TMNT 2012 should be called 20XX since it lasted past that year. I'm personally annoyed because He-man's premiere year is a palindrome or something
>>11829012Only if you look at the box office revenue, which is offset by the literal tons of unsold merch that will be clogging ross' and ollie's for years to come. I never expected mando to be degraded to the level of rose taco and the shuri-copter in less than a decade, but that's disney for you
>>11829158You are absolutely crazy if you think you are getting anything new before that thing makes back it's budget. Two hundred million dollar movie can't clear thirty opening weekend? No light ups for you. Maybe repaints if you simp really hard.
>>11829158Try one if these or a bootleg on aliexpress
>>11829161At least Shuricopter had an action feature, we got another knex peg neck mekaneck and a ramless man.
>>11829162>Tourist doesn't know how merchandising works
>>11829159I don't have a pic but its cloth I think
>>11829167>The shuri-copter was shit that no one wanted and is nearly a decade old, but it appeals to my specific tism and I'm going to pretend that makes it better than figures that are actually selling because mumble mumble
>>11829165I fucking love blue lightning. Take out some of the interior packaging and stage the figure posed inside the box with this and a usb mini stobe or other light effect and it would be cool as shit. The big box has a window, right?
>>11829170What the fuck is a shuricopter
>>11829016Imagine if they sprayed Merman with a fish odour.
>>11829172A strange artifact from the BLM-pandering era of disney that infests every discount store in burgerland
>>11829170go fuck a series of removable heads with slightly different expressions you greentext addicted mongoloid.>>11829169nice. it's cool as shit to make 2 stickers from the playset into a cool figure and oversized piece of terrain.
>>11829171Yeah the official one does anyways. I regret not buying one now
>>11829178Sounds like someone's a little upset he's never getting wakangda 3
>>11829172They made these 7-8 inch figures of marvel characters that had action features like og motu and superpowers figures. They were actual toys instead of piles of ball joints with 12 sets extra hands, so >>11829175 is mad he can't get hard to them.
>>11829181It's totally gonna come back around, I know this shit got stockpiled by boomer sellers who bet on the movie. Hopefully the thing picks up when it hits streaming, but I don't think any of the scarce stuff is really that scarce.
>>11829184What the fuck does that have to do with heman
>>11829184>Being this mad over unpopular toys
>>11829188I meant the tamashi effect stuff lol. I just got a Chronicle Heman on sale on amazon. I wasnt going to go for Chronicles but I loved Trapjaw so much I had to get him and its impossible to find origins here. Core looks fun too but I haven't bought any yet. Theres so much shit its great.
>>11829189It doesn't, >>11829182 brought it up because he needs a strawman and he reached for rose taco and shuricopter. I just mentioned that the origional He-Man figures (and MotU 02) all had action features like those toys, while the carpetbagger (Mattycollector and after) MotU figures are just shitty revoltechs.
>>11829192Wait shit theyre still on HLJ and probabaly other sited I thought it was an old tamashii effect and not being made anymore
>>11829194What
>>11829192Gotcha. yeah, i'm seeing KOs going for $40. I got a little excited about this funko thing being cheaper, but it looks way to chunky and cluttered with the yellow/blue/smoke.
>>11829196start from >>11829161 or just like, learn to read a fucking thread I guess. You got it from here or you wanna one scentence then one word some more?
I was excited to see so many messages until i realized why. Oh well.Thanks to that one anon also that told the thread about the mini comics omnibus sale. Snagged that and a Triklops
>>11829205also the 20% off greyskull is decent. 70% still in stock.
Multibot is in sale on amazon for me too I forgot to mention
>>11829032It's just a catchier name.I thought it was called that because it was He-Man for new modern times. People just didn't though how name will hold up 20 years from then. Might as well call it MOTU Reboot.
>>11829221Noooo please don't get them started again I already spent my time trying to hide the other retarded shitpost fight they were having and haven't even gotten to that slapfight.
Does anyone have that picture of Heman Y2K+2parts on the Chronicles body? Sounds cool but I only have a Chronicles body but it sounds like it might look cool.
The movie likely would've done MUCH better if MGM released it after Supergirl so they could've taken advantage of the backlash and have people wanting to see a good psuedo-capeshit movie to get the bad taste out of their mouth.
>>11829312based buff freaks in it for the love of the gains
>>11829174They make ocean scented air freshners right? That would have been a cheeky thing to sneak in. If MOTU makes it to the 2030's I really hope we get a gimmick heavy line again. Origins has been a delight but man, I miss the gimmicks!
>>11829172Random asspull vehicle from the Black Panther 2 kiddie toyline. It's based off one of the literal who protags leading the film. Like the Eternals and Shang Chi line's it's become an infamous shelf warmer, because really, who was asking for a dinky helicopter based off a nobody character like shuri? Atleast the thanos copter is tied to spidey super stories and is ridiculous enough to wrap around to being desirable, ditto for the spidermobile, the shuricopter doesnt even have that charm.
>>11829256I'd go further and argue it should have released before Mando. Also reposting the armor and leg swap pic from last thread fof the one anon that was asking.
I'm looking for ways to buy replicas of old weapons or armor sets for he-man characters. Anyone know some good sources for buying replicas or would i have to track down the pieces on ebay or something?
>>11829221>>11829222>>11829458your samefag is showing. the levels of cope and delusion are incredible. Wakanda forever cleared it's budget in the opening weekend, that includes merchandising. This fucker is on track to make back it's estimated 200 million FILMING budget the ass side of never AND the toys suck. No action features (which were the basis of the original line and present in every figure produced in the first three toy lines), likeness of characters too embarrassed to say their own names, no Adam from human resources Oklahoma playset. It's a fucking disaster my guy, stop comparing it to things that actually worked. It's more like the Lone Ranger reboot than Wakanda Forever or Last Jedi (b/c those movies made money).
I love the 200x Mondo figures so far, but the aftermarket costs are insane
>>11829524Etsy is the best place for that. Just checking on a whim I saw a few listings for repro lots.
>>11829676Sexcellent anon
>>11829620They always are. It's very prohibitive to new customers.
>>11829696https://youtu.be/yF_YZZeVtms
>>11829200Anon how does it feel to be the last autist sperging over fpoa being dead when everyone else moved on to superior articulation years ago?
>>11829620unfortunately thats often what happens with made to order, 1 and done figuresbut it is always funny how many people bitch about the initial price only to get fomo when the figure releases and turn around to go pay 3x retail on ebay
>>11829165Good idea. Thanks Anon.>>11829162If anything they should push out more to try and recoup some costs.Found TrapJaw today. He cool
>>11829936>If anything they should continue producing a bad product in the hopes that people change their minds about liking good things.Do you already work at Mattel? If not, there is definitely a place for you in thier planning team. This is just the kind of "shove shit down their throats til they like it" strategy they've been using since 200x.

>>11830002Yawn... post your toys with a dated message, without retarded "tricks" this time
>>11830014He can't, he's still seething over being made fun of for trying to defend the shuri-copter of all things.
>>11830002I like the new movie toys, they actually somewhat tried for a change. They arnt perfect, but they are going in the right direction.
>>11829032Back in the day, some of us called it MOTU02 and that had a nice ring to it. I think 200X was only coined around the time of Classics but I could be misremembering.>>11829054>Or MotU02 (moe-two-oh-two)There we go

Since the vintage Battle Cat fig was a reuse of Big Jim cat, are you willing to invest in a recolor of the origins BC in those original colors? Also a black tarzan version? hould they include new OC characters for them?
>>11825160I'm a bit surprised, I assumed the Classics castle was bigger than that although I guess they mostly just had to make sure the door was tall enough for the bigger figures.I'm very slowly working on a Masterverse / New Eternia scale Grayskull that's a combo of scratch build and 3D printed base pieces but I haven't worked on it in a while. I really should get around to it though, I was super excited about it and then I got distracted by other projects. It's going to be over 2 feet tall when it's done.
>>11827286I just got the toon version of Orko but I'll definitely be grabbing this one too as soon as I can.
I'm curious, how many other under-40 MOTU fans are in this thread? I got into MOTU when I was in college because an older friend who was an avid fan and collector introduced me to it, but before then I had very little if any connection to the IP. The only He-Man that I have any childhood memories of is Space He-Man and it kind of came and went, because I was more interested in GI Joe and Batman (so I can't say I have any particular nostalgia for that version). I turn 40 this year so I don't even feel comfortable being referred to as a "younger He-Man fan" even though I am too young to have been a first generation fan.
>>1183039928 here. didn't like the new movie but didn't hate it, got all the vintage origins. But I'm a social outcast and my interests have always been niche.
Why is it that Scareglow never got a mount?
>>11830504Mattel is too scare to make one. Even Funko pop scareglow got his horse.
>>11830399I am. I think 200x was my first exposure, and I just thought the world was lots of fun and creative.
>>11830511Perhaps my biggest Origins wish at the moment.
>>11830399>be kid in the 90s and 00s>got Castle Greyskull with 0 accessories, Roboto, Battle Cat, Panthor, a bunch of meteorbs and Stonedar from yard sales >have no idea what they are until I was a teenager and they played reruns of the Christmas special here Christmas timeb>Heman Classics comes out and Inbuy a few but dont get into it a lot till 2024 with Origins
>>11830399I'm a 200x fan but I've never went in on it. Was too into power rangers or lego at the time and the GBA game sucked. I always knew there was a community (lots of channels that parodied Skeletor, always saw the thread in the catalog) for it but never saw myself in the threads until I saw that Mondo Teela. Now I'm looking to see if I can watch the movie and find some blurays to rewatch the shows. Are the vehicles and playsets really cool? I figured they'd take up a ton of space but people seem to own it all. Would love to see what I missed out on
>>11830561Mondo teasing his human form? That's fun
>>11830553We'll get PoG Black Wiazard horse first I bet. It's more relevant to what Mattel is trying to push in Origins at the moment. Unless Axel comes up with a new Scare Glow OC as well.
>>11830399I only ever watched the reruns in syndication too. I never had the toys because they weren't around anymore.
>>11830591It's a callback.
>>11830362>I'm a bit surprised, I assumed the Classics castle was bigger than that although I guess they mostly just had to make sure the door was tall enough for the bigger figures.Remember that Classics is being shot from a low angle and the castles are arranged in a curve with Classics the furthest back. It's not beyond massive, but it's still a decent size bigger than Origins. Core in about the same height as Origins and Classics comes with an inner floor area giving you more space.
>>11830681Patiently waiting for movie origins
>>11829464>picBut why?
>>11830625Sounds a lot like my experience with MASK. I got into it through reruns, and I knew there were toys and I wanted them, but I never saw them anywhere and I didn't realize the show and toy line had been canceled years ago.With GI Joe I watched reruns of the Sunbow show religiously although the new episodes from DIC were still airing and the toys were still everywhere, and were for a couple of years.
>>11830399I was introduced to it through 200X. Tried collecting the line but couldn't find anyone but multitudes of He-Man and Skeletor variants. The only ones I have left from back then were the three Snakemen (Hiss, Rattlor, Khan) and Zodak, all in storage. Been a fan ever since, tuning in and out of MOTU updates while looking back into Filmation and others. Bought some of Classics but never fully committed to the line. Flashforward to recent years, and while Masterverse was neat, the recent 200X line is an absolute godsend for me and it's all I ever wanted.It was funny to find out that both my dad and older brother used to be fans of the 80s cartoon which they sort of grew out of. Absolutely loved the new movie and happily bought He-man and Skeletor Chronicles so far.
Original Dad Anon here. Also known as the Raz Spammer. I haven't been checking these threads because fuck Mattel not selling Movie Origins in leafland. Also Red Shadow on Club Payskull. Miss me with that shit. I'll sign up again for the Mighty Spectre.Just want to say that my kids loved the movie, there were other youngsters there to. Mattel should have marketed this as a fun capeshit type thing not "finally learn how he became He-Man." I think the nostalgia angle hurt it more than letting it stand on it's own to be entertaining.My only question about the movie was who the fuck was this Dion woman? Her whole character was that she was a bitch to Adam and spins while shooting. Lmao what was Sy-Klone busy?Also it warms my heart to see all this autistic sperging ITT. I used to think the discord trannies and YouTube manchild mafia went after me, but I see it's just general unpleasantness all the time.
>>11830399I’m 33 my first intro was the 200x series. I got a kids meal man at arms. Sick ass design. Tried watching the show and it was too gay a concept for me at the time. I’m the child of a single mother and watching a shirtless man legit made me uncomfortable. >inb4 repressed homoNah dude it’s like choosing to look at shirtless at any other point in your free time. But as I’ve gotten other and become a father myself i am often shirtless and understand while boys with fathers didn’t have the same reaction I did. My enjoyment of that kids meal figure mix with my new perspective made me look into motu more deeply after the movie announcement. I’m now around $1400 deep into a collection for me and my son.
>>11830336Few thoughts some maybe unrelated.First re-release Duplicat FFS mattelLove the big jim colors and would probably buyI'd really like to know how panthor was turned black there. Looks pretty slick.>>11830823Hey thanks for checking in! I may have sat beside you in the theater and we'd never know for sure, probably not. I did find movie origins here, so that's possible but you may have missed them. Dion was an unessicary insert. Oh and they were definitely after you so dont discount that.
>>11830399Just turned 40. Only old IP's i knew were Ghostbusters and TMNT. He-man 2002 was one of my belated firsts when I actually started collecting, but I only ever had Smash Blade He-man and Skeletor from KB Toys. I've always wanted to collect the whole line, but I ignored them since I already had a taste for what Marvel Legends was starting
>>11830879>First re-release Duplicat FFS mattelSomeone got very fussy about claiming DupliCat was their creation and now Mattel won't get near it with a 10 foot pole. That whole con + covid era was a mess.>pic unrelatedI found some concept art from one of the vehicle designers for the movie showing off things that didn't make it like this early version of Rotan before it was altered to make for an easier action scene fight. There's also a massive Stridor and two versions of Battle Bones as walker Transport ride AND with wheels built into the feet to drive.
>>11830894Stridor
>>11830895Talon Fighter
>>11830896Battle Bones
>>11830897Battle Bones alt
>>11830897Somehow they managed to make it even sillier
>>11830897Holy shit this is so fucking cool. Stidor is pretty great too. Its a shame they didnt get in
>>11830899This would have made a good Thundertank for the Thundercats crossover figures.
>>11830825Are they your biological kids or did you and your husband adopt?
>>11830399Like most elder millenials I was exposed to He-Man primarily through gag edits on youtube and the occasional Robot Chicken skit. I finally watched through the Filmation show a few years ago while caring for a dying relative. Maybe it's a bit of self-infantilization but the good vibes and morals helped me a lot during that time and I look on the wacky world and its characters very fondly now.
>>11830823Maybe people just dont bring that up but I have yet to hear that kids din't like the movie once they saw it.Movie was suppposed to be for general audiences as Revelation was meants fo be for OGs and CGI for new generation. Bur for what they actually they were targeted and who they appealed to was all over the place (Revelation being very woke, movie appealing to nostalgia etc)Dian was a royal guard in one story in newpaper motu. Guess they just wanted to diversify cast with Glup Shitto.
>>11831002Honestly, other than some language and the fact that movie was fucking LOUD I have no complaints from a parental perspective.If a movie like Guardians of the Galaxy can find an audience, there is no reason Motu couldn't. GoG was helped by being MCU connected but still. It was a decent movie that deserved to do better. I took my kids to see it a second time instead of Supergirl.>t.gigachad christian fatherAs for Dian, what a weak character. If anything this was a missed opportunity to bring in Tiff Smith to star as Andra. I haven't seen her since that night at Zolocon.
>>11831009>obscure normie female soldier added to main cast.She was straight up replaced, wasn't she?
>>11831020Undoubtedly. It's a shame because I don't think people Andra herself. I remember thinking she was the okayist part of Revelations. At least more likable than Teela was in that show.The complaints were that she replaced a red head and that the series sucked as a whole. And maybe I am misremembering but Andra was the least complained about character on the main cast.Andra - The Comic Book featuring Masters of the Universe was kinda weak and had terrible art. Maybe that was the straw that broke Mattel's back.
>>11825383It gets worse.>Enemies are skeletons>Hero wears a skull on his chest
>>11831026Who even is that? Someone from New Adventures?
>>11831025I thought she was fine until they abolished monarchy is this sword and sorcery inspired fantasy setting and set her up to be president in the last 5 seconds of the show. Which was more of a plot thing than her character but what the fuck
>>11831033https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3ZlpTp_dJA
>>11831035Holy fuck that is amazing. I hope the skeletor dimension is like that
Saw the movie last night. Now I want to fuck Roboto.
>>11825393>>11825383there are no good guys in Motu.
What was this again, I cant remember if they already leaked it.
>>11831034Wow that's awful. I never understood why the suits cutting cheques let the creatives get away with such bullshit. I didn't watch season 2 because the first was so annoying. >Tiffany will always be President of my heart thoDoes anyone know how hard it is to find Sketchbook Man E Faces and Movie Spikor in leafland? Those are the 2 I'll regret not picking up. Is ebay the only option?
>>11830399Same story as >>11830443 but with the caveat of having been introduced to the series via the 200X cartoon and the mcdonalds toys. By the time my family first got internet coverage I was marathoning filmation on youtube as a babby. Fell in love with classics and vintage around this time despite being a turbo poorfag. The only classics I was able to get were Zodak, Adam, and Grizzlor by way of TRU and Big Lots but I had to sell them off going into covid. Since then I've been able to fill their abscence with origins, MCX, and now mighty masters.
>>11830336>>11830879I'd be all for it, and I second a Duplicat rerelease. That said I'm left to wonder if there are any existing He-man and Skeletor alts we could pair with each of the color ways or if we should cook up wholecloth companions to each battle cat. If you leave it to me I could really go nuts with the opportunity, but we could just as easily pair them with rcharacters based off Leotor and golden blonde spanish He-man.
>>11830894>Nighthawk styled ROTONAw man that would have been so kickass
>>11830895>>11830896>>11830899The visuals in that movie continue to be nothing short of perfect. Holy shit man they really aced the mission.
Figured I might as well check out the Mattel line while waiting for Mondo, I'm really happy with Tri-Klops right now. The head mechanic is pretty tight on mine but I can see why people buy so many of these. Now to try to find a good spy drone for it and figure out what to buy next
>>11831171>Movie Spikor in leafland?Check Ebay someone is selling him for cheap right now. Or hopefully they still are. I only noticed him and Syclone awnt down that low anywhere online.
>>11831171>Movie Spikor in leaflandHe's all over Walmart right now. I don't think we've gotten any sketchbook series though, but maybe with the influx he was among them?
>>11831544Wait nevermind I was talking about sketchbook spikor here
>>11825160I just found out that the movie bombed. I hope this means 2002 gets attention again
Opinions on Mondo He-Man? I'm tempted to get Skeletor, is the figure good in terms of quality/articulation?
>>11831704I'm not made of money
>>11831701The movie took a lot from 2002 so I wouldn't hold your breath
>>11831704>is the figure good in terms of quality/articulation?Yes. Obviously a bit more of a high end collectible, so it's not going to be mega posable, but it's quite nice for what it is.
>>11831704I was wondering what the extra head was a reference to, the one in the limited edition.
>>11831824King Grayskull from 200x.
>>11831701Its been getting toys in two lines this whole time
>>11831701>the movie bombedNo>inb4 copeThe movie did what it was meant to do. Toy sells are through the roof and a sequel was green lit. This is a long term strategy. It will be on Amazon Prime and be a constant top 10 streamed movie. It’s a movie made for streaming. Theatrical release is an obligation not a gold standard anymore. Amazon and Mattel just positioned themselves to have a powerhouse IP.
>>11831171In leafland. For Sketchy Manny, you're either gonna have to wait and see if it goes to amazon potentially at a markup when they go to discount in US. Or ebay now/whenever.Movie Spikor would have been the easiest to find at Walmart if things were still stocked. This stuff was plentiful like a week or two ago, but may have been picked through already. Its weird that it seems like you cant or couldnt find it honeslty, you must be rural. We got movie origins he-man, spikor. The CC 200x stuff. Origins trap jaw and all the other movie line stuff. Stores all over the goddam place got shippers or their shelves stocked back up but sadly I wouldnt be surprised if there was no restock but perhaps some more waves of origins if we're lucky.
>>11831704From the reviews I saw he's a solid figure with decent articulation. However I can't fathom why they didn't give him toe articulation when even basic toys like Jada do it, I find it more annoying with Skeletor since he's barefoot.
>>11831908>Theatrical release is an obligation not a gold standard anymoreYou're right, and I'm reminded of that very weird episode of re:view covering the garbage pail kids where Mike explained to jay that "the movie" used to be the zenith of an IP's culture relevancy. The last time that was true was the first pokemon movie, and that was nearly 30 years ago.
Okay I guess. Didn't imagine they would split these up.
>>11832130What's Shriek from Skeleton Warriors doing there?
Do you think that Tales from Eternia can give franchise some traction? I know it's jus youtube shorts but it worked for Monster High or Ever After High or Dc Super Hero Girls...
>>11832130Weirdly it sorta makes sense, it's pretty unlikely they'll still fuck with her design at this point so might as well give the crowdfunders something while they're waiting for the main attraction
>>11832235no.there's a formula for those girl doll shows, and there was also a huge gap in the market for products that appeal to w*men. I want MOTU to have it, but frankly I'd wager that the fortnite skins will do more to bring in fans than a cartoon currently sitting at... 56k views.
>>11830823>Original Dad Anon here. Also known as the Raz Spammer.>I used to think the discord trannies and YouTube manchild mafia went after me, but I see it's just general unpleasantness all the time.I've been coming here for years and I have no idea who you're supposed to be.
>>11830899This absolutely fucks. Would love something like a 1:35 scale version.
>>11831026>>11832190>Skeleton Warriors postingLove to see it. I always wanted the toys as a kid.
>>11827078includes roach eggs
>>11832347His daughter said Bow's lame but she still wants him if he gets a figure.
Is the bluer Chronicles Skeletor going to be hard to find because nobody is restocking Chroncles?
>>11825160Making movie orko a made to order figure that ships out a whole year away is the fucking dumbest thing ive seen mattel do since the mattycollector days when scott was fucking shit up with bad decisions. Why the fuck didnt they just include him in a regular assortment or have orko be a online exclusive regular figure like all the others? Why the actual fuck is this happening?
>>11832347I drew Raz cheesecake for him a few times. He's cool.
>>11831704So how common are 1/12 Mondo figs? I know they teased Anti Eternia and others but, will they release more villains?
>>11832513They've had a good pace, Mer-Man was announced alongside Teela so it should only be a while until that preorder is up. NYCC we'll probably get a look at the next 2
Well I never thought it would happen unless I were moving but here I am, boxing up my figures for storage. It's been a fun time with motu gen over these years, really I enjoyed talking with you all and all the highs and lows of origins from the rocky start to wun darr and here we are with a movie which hopefully did well and core line will bring a new group of fans into fold. Hopefully two bad gets a proper release and I'm still hoping dyla mug anon gets a new figure since his broke. If you want to come by and buy my collection just hmu, I'm conveniently located in Southern Illinois.
>>11832492Im calling CPS.
>>11832593Why anon?
>>11832696NTA but I sort of get the appeal.Just finished rewatching the 1987 film btw. It has some high points but the two teen characters do sort of drag the movie down a little. All the actual MOTU stuff in the movie's still great anyhow. I wish we'd gotten to see more of Dolph-Man, he brings a Chris Reeve Superman energy to the role. Has anyone noticed how close the movie grunts are to established evil warriors? Beastman aside Blade and Saurod just bring to mind Triklops and Whiplash. Karg on the other hand comes across like a donutsteel patchwork of everyone from Trapjaw to Grizzlor.
>>11832411>Why the fuck didnt they just include him in a regular assortment or have orko be a online exclusive regular figure like all the others? Why the actual fuck is this happening?Prevent leaks + design/animation probably wasn't finalized until near ready for print. Remember the addition of Cringer at the opening was a test screening suggestion months ago. Things change a lot even last second.
Where do you go to for the big leaks or news about stuff? I'd love to see what's next or incoming
>>11832847
>>11832848
>>11832847A bit worried about those rubber shorts and probably shirt. Do we know how well the rubber stuff from the WWE lines have held up? I assume it'd be similar if not the same material. That aside, I kinda love it, just about what you'd expect from this figure. >>11832848I doubt the plates on the barbell are removable, but that'd be a fun aspect. Any ideas what that blue thing might be? Real world wristband?
>>11832847Cloth?
>>11832892>Do we know how well the rubber stuff from the WWE lines have held upRubber holds up fairly well unless you're playing with it constantly for years. It's better than what Hasbro uses for their failed sports figures. This is one of the few times I wish they went cloth for it
>>11832900Sweat towel to wipe down equipment or yourself
KEK, glad I skipped 200x Cartoon Collection and waited. Influx of MOTU figs to ROSS and DDs starting next month baby. $5.99 each. ROSS also started marking the CC figs to $9.99 since they got too many whiplash and Bows not selling at $14.99. You migh luck out and still find Orko and Shadow weaver too.
>>11832900The waistband looks too clean and nice for the whole thing to be cloth, and since theyre one piece I'm guessing soft rubber. >>11832902From that in box picture it looks to have some good flex to it too, so maybe it will hold up well. I was thinking cases where it'd develop stress and tears, like on old street shark hand puppets.
>>11832920>ROSS also started marking the CC figs to $9.99 since they got too many whiplash and Bows not selling at $14.99. You migh luck out and still find Orko and Shadow weaver too.One of mine has Whip, Fang, and Grizz at $9.99 now. The other has Shadow Weaver and Bow at $14.99. It's like... so close to getting another Weaver but I need her cheaper.>>11832920Walmart can't be bothered to stock the figure in store or on the website, so of course it's at Ross now. Decent figure, cheesy gimmick to bring back.
>>11832847Damn I actually want this.
>>11831701>I hope this means 2002 gets attention againI don't get it. If anything, more stores around me have ordered the 200X Cartoon Collection because of the movie.
>>11832892The blue thing resembles a towel which occasionally get used to wrap heavy barbells when squating as some people would find a nearly 600 lb bar resting on their back uncomfortable (540 lb in plates plus a 45 lb bar) though the scale of the bar looks wrong as they appear to be too thick to be a typical 45 lb plate probably 45 lb bumper plates as they are more popular than plates over 45. I have no clue if it is anything more then a toy prop though I doubt it is a child's wristband given that this looks collector oriented.>>11832847Looks like getting a Nike symbol on the hoodie was too expensive without Travis Knight. I am happy that this mean H.R. Skeletor will probably exists.
>>11832834What? Originally he was just introduced before final battle? They really didn't know what to do with him.
Now that Supergirl has been declared as ass thus possibly fucking up the Gunnverse's future, any chances of the movie sales turning itself around?
>>11833017>because of the movie.Anon doesn't know how brand synergy works. >>11833171They're independent, neither will make a difference to each other. The only thing this might do is potentially make them apprehensive about She-Ra, but even then I doubt it.
>>11833034There was a posted product description blurb, and it sounds like it's a towel to wipe down equipment. Given the size, I assume it's for real world use rather than for the figure? It also is pretty small though, so maybe a full size towel for the figure? One thing that would have been a good inclusion is a weight bench, but there are cheap replicas available online that will work well. Assuming he can get into a seated position without stressing the shorts, that would be fun. May just have to get this guy a full mini squat rack and what not, he's going to be a fun item to have in my basement gym. The Nike hybrid logo was fun, but it wouldn't make sense to pay royalties on a toy, so I'm fine with it being this ram head logo instead. Assuming we got all 3 variants, I would probably just stick with the gym one, maybe the suited one (would be kind of funny on my work desk). I don't think I'll need all of them though.
>>11833260>YFW movie She-Ra is a sleazy partygoing bitch who's only there so He-Man can look better.
>>11833281Adora did grow up with the Horde while this Adam grew up on Earth, would be a pretty funny dichotomy of bad bitch Adora and overly nice guy Adam. I get that there's no identity to preserve, but hopefully the He-Man persona becomes more defined from Adam, and She-Ra can likewise be significantly different from Adora (assuming we get more in this world, of course).
>>11833170CG work isn't done early like the old days of even WETA with LotR or Lucasfilm for SW. They split it off to half a dozen or more studios for who was cheapest and change designs constantly. If you ever listen to the commentary tracks the producers will mention the CG work comes in near the very end for the finalized cut after changing it constantly. Agents of SHIELD was famous for having less than 2 weeks to develop, animate, and deliver any CG work for air. More than a few times arriving a day or two before the episode airs.The point is that the DESIGN was likely constantly changing in projects like this movie. Remember that the end credits Orko silhouette which is simple artwork was more old school Orko design than the actual CG version shown for 30 seconds. Hasbro has started repeatedly that they have issues delivering screen accurate Marvel designs for the movies because they get early concept artwork and rarely the final version in time before they start working on going into toy production. If you want a screen accurate Orko then this is how it was going to be. Notice that Roboto as a toy is slightly different from the movie version and that's a character that was on-screen for a decent amount of time because at some point the design changed from what Mattel was given to the final screen version.
Do people mix and match different sets and themes? I'd love a Castle Grayskull for my 200x figures and some vehicles, should I just get the movie stuff for now and wait to see if the cartoon line gets their own?Also what do people tend to do for army builders?
>>11833649Yes to mixing. You'd be waiting a long time for an origins CC 200X grayskull. Or buy a vintage one.Army build whatever you want.
For this years SDCC Origins exclusive, you think they'll do a TwoBad release again, this time the long awaited vintage version. Same deal as CC version. Comes with extra body parts to make Tuvar and Badra.
Talking about mixing can someone show my the mighty masters inside and outside any version of greyskull
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5D4gmsdVxqMThe pegs and holes on the Slime Pit are for body parts like Snake Mountain
Holy shit I got lost on ebay and found this. I had no idea they made robot Baltards. Im only familiar with the ones that guy did videos in 10 years ago that formo remade
ight then fuk u
>>11832849Why would they put the spiked plates on the box but only give the toy normal plates? Is that the new Origins adjacent line or masterverse?
>>11833843I like the idea, but those static poses are not doing it for me at all. The fighter's stance is timeless for a reason people.
>>11833959probably missing some armor parts>>11833843the galaxy hole is very, very deep.
>109 mil at the box officewill this finally kill MCU humor? Mattel has likely planned for this, but what that could be I'm not sure.Next year we're very likely going to get DC origins and Hasbro has yet to unveil their MOTU transformer.
Apparently Japan collectors are starting to wake up to MOTU and the movie is helping it gain more of a following aside from niche collectors. I wonder if Mattel will capitalize on this and start reissuing older figures for overseas markets. I still need that Thunder Punch Origins Heman and King Hiss.
>>11834122Mondo should see if they can sell things on amiami or something
Oh so that's why there's different pegs and holes in the fright pit.
>>11834351for the glory of the downright peculia- i mean phob- i mean frightzone!slime up for hordak's feared hole technology!
>>11834122
>>11834648Date night Skeletor was blink and you miss it, and probably also the weakest look. Might be interested in HR office Skeletor but will have to see how it looks.
>>11834648Fuck just make Origins Wrap Trap...holy fuck already. I've been posting this for 6 years now
Zombie Lady Slither or whatever she's supposed to be actually comes in a Preternia box
The art is pretty cool but I don't feel anything for any of these characters. Just waiting for my Snorse.
>>11835222I want her and yet I don't want her because the first one was better. But fuck what eBay thinks the price should be. lol.WM.com posted up more movie Roboto and Skel-Knights today so that's 2/3 WM exclusives done. Just need Trap Jaw.
I bought one of those titan 13 things off amazon for a pittance just so I could give these guys more fire power.
Movie Mek is such a great toy. Although I think the waist on mine is seized, he's still such a blast to fiddle with.
>On today's episode, we learned the ruthless fire power of a minigun can quell even the most brutal of Skeletor's offenses
>>11835280Stealing this idea
>>11835280I love how almost nothing is out of place in MotU. Mekanek is amazing I cant wait for his Chronicles.
I slimed a Combatant
HE HAS A KITTY
>>11835571
>>11835386Go for it, just keep a pair of model kit nippers handy. The guns come on sprus>>11835480Honestly we need more guns in MOTU. Cant wait for core Ram-Man and Fisto. I planned to take these pics sooner but I couldnt find war paint He-man.
>>11835571I don't remember a cat or pimp cane in the movie.
>>11835604I don't think either actually happened, but value add i guess. This was the most short lived, he basically just grabbed Adam and flung him to the HR scene. This is probably the weakest of the looks too. Probably a bit better without the jacket.
>>11835571>>11835572>>11835618Any info on where it's an exclusive? Gym Bro is SDCC so I dunno if that would be another.
I’ll be so pissed if they don’t reveal a movie origins greyskull at sdcc
>>11835693Apparently no indication of from where it will be obtainable from. If I had to guess, another MC exclusive, maybe? Maybe one of them (between this and HR) would be Amazon exclusive? Though, if any one of them would be Amazon exclusive I'd have to think the gym one would be the most popular of the three.
>>11835701I wish they'ed reveal sales figures for the movie merch. That's all we can hang our hats on at this point. BTW, did anyone else catch the latest ep of the youtube cartoon? It was an Orko focused story. Trapjaw speaks like a surfer dude now too. Nu-Teela is pretty cute aswell.
>>11835719Ya, it was cute enough. Not too much happens though, so a bit more action or just things happening per episode would be good.
mogged
I can finally buy Pighead, but do you guys think we will get another one in origin scale soon?
>>11835816no idea, but pighead isbone of my fav origins figures
>>11835816Probably not, the Rulers of the Sun were notorious pegwarmers.>>11835753I was mostly surprised to see so much Orko focus this early on. Ditto on the action though. Here's hoping the next ep is more He-man focused.
>>11835816Never. ROTS was awesome but Mattel is never doing them again.>>11835812Actor likenesses will never look good.
>check up on DC Primal Age after market prices after years of them being very pricey>the entire line is going, both MIB and loose, for less than 10 bucks per figureWhat the hell happened? Im happy with these results but I wonder what crashed the demand.
>>11836114That's just it, the demand died. The Batcave might be the only thing still kinda up there when I checked in December
>>11836139>>11836114The car for 5.5 is a lot higher after origins
>>11835902>ROTS was awesome but Mattel is never doing them again.Which sucks, they really needed to do the other villains in the vintage minicomic. Pig head needed some backup. Just make them Club Grayskull exclusive or something.
>>11834648>>11835571>>11835572>>11835618HOT!
>>11836139I can confirm that's the case. It's practically tripled in price since it's release. The mounts got a little pricier over time but not to the same extent. Ace and Krypto are dirt cheap compared to the Joker beast. I wonder how many people took advantage of that mcfarlane avatar rhino...
>>11836232Good point
I may be in the minority here, but I would prefer Mattle make a CC Attack Track rather than the vintage one. Besides they won't add the motor on to it anyway. The cartoon version is much better anyways, just shrink it down like the Collector ship and it's mostly just a shell.
They'll release any other Preternia character before Eldor. And that's a good thing, because Eldor is boring.
>>11836624Admittedly the goat guy is... Goated. and you're right Eldor is boring. might bite.
>>11836624>>11836652I like this new era where Mattel is just making up new dudes. no lore except for a minicomic sometimes. It's like muh vintage.
>>11836624>>11836652Based, I was hoping they would make this guy
>>11836624LEAKS, looks pretty cool.>>11836654Yes, I like seeing cool new ideas in Origins.
>>11836714>>11836652He could break saggitaur over his knee
>>11836588 For the Love of God someone color it like the Mystery Machine.
Target got these in
Fisto is lame as fuckHis gimmick is purely cosmetic and all he does is the standard MotU play feature
>>11836793His vintage toy was great for having a 2 springs. 1 at the arm, 1 at the waist.Otherwise, he's one of the only dudes in the whole line who's just a normal human which makes him way less interesting than everyone else.
>>11836797Clamp Champ is the worst offenderHis whole, impractical gimmick can literally be taken away from him
Core action feature Trapjaw is back on Amazon if anyone needs him
>>11836624>>11836652>>11836714Not as good as I was hoping, but I'll still pick one up.
>>11836826Consider suicide.
>>11836826>>11836828ack, i ded. woosh I am reborn. and found a video. okay it's not as bad.
>>11836835he's peak wtf
>>11836803I'm almost annoyed by how good the core line turned out. You can tell the designers put all their effort into it, and yet, it will still be upstaged by Chronicles and Origins.
>>11836793I just like that he has a giant robot fist. He's Hellboy as a 1920's steampunk jolly boxer man. That's enough for me. I'm more tired of him being singled out for being "lame" when stratos is a fully dark grey monkey-bird. Stratos really should have been colored like a parrot or something.
>>11836887Stratos was supposed to be a villain
>>11836888Right, right, I keep forgetting we were cucked out of Merfren. I wonder if they had different colors in mind for evil stratos. Purple and black or even brown and red would have done wonders for him.
>>11836835Absolute unit
>>11836900Glad they used the Andre buck for the body. Terror Eye will also get the big fig treatment by the looks of it as they share the same belt loincloth overlay.
>>11836652>>11836714Getting two easily
>>11836569>Ace and Krypto are dirt cheap compared to the Joker beast.lol. Joker Beast was the only one I could find so I got two on final clearance
Can core figures be partswapped? I dont like the leg color on stealth heman I cant tell if its supposed to be tights or something else
>>11836772>>11837057>I dont like the leg color on stealth heman I cant tell if its supposed to be tights or something elseIt's an homage to War Paint Conan. So those are the same brown pants Conan wore.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcUzgGaQw9g>Can core figures be partswapped?Like Origins? No, but you can heat up his legs in hot water and pop them off a the hips. He has a ball joint just like Origins legs for swapping (albeit Origins are bigger).
>>11835530Mantenna paying attention.
I kinda dig this recolor from the latest short.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yt5wap7u050Trap Jaw on Faker: "Why is his skin blue?"Skeletor: "He looks perfectly normal to me."
>>11837596But trapjaw has blue skin too...?
>>11837660But if he was red that'd be weird, no? Same for blue He-Man.
Shit, I didn't know there were bluray preorders for 200x. Any chance of a restock so I can add it to an order?
The (truthful and canon) buck breaking of MAAOk, I am learning why you guys love dioramas; sadly black MAA it hard to take pictures of without proper lighting.
>>11837792Sadly I learned the Evil-Lyn is coming out later, so I had to make a subsitution.
>>11837794Was that her add-on set with thicker thighs?
>>11837792ppfffbbtGood job anon I love it
>>11837660I always thought Trapjaw and Skeletor's skins were blue because they were undead and in some form of necrosis
>>11837596I'm honestly impressed by how entertaining the youtube cartoon's been. The MCX line would have paired really well with this writing.
>>11837827Naw it is a completely unmodified Furry-Lyn. The original idea was her sitting on Skeletor's lap; but these are my first MOTU figures and I quickly learned that even without the plastic cape, it would be a big ask to get him seated comfortably.https://myfigurecollection.net/item/2374838
>>11836826That looks so much better than what we actually got. The metallic gold, the way the extra limbs are stacked, and especially the head sculpt. I like the idea of new OC's in Origins but aside from Sting-Or they've all been underwhelming to awful.>>11836714Fun idea but an easy pass again Mattel. Unironically, if he looked like the AI render I'd have picked him up day one. Do better modern Mattel.
>>11836772I picked up one of the stealth and another core. They were on slight sale at a Target near me.I'm going to try swapping legs but fuck me if finding a second Origins is an option. I'm curious how much taller it would look and how bad the proportions would be.I'm hoping stores don't sell out and these go down to $5 clearance by the end of July because I would take two. Walmart has them to order but the same crappy 'slight' markdown.
>Mattel REALLY wants MOTU to be popular again.>They also seem to be slowly testing the waters for a Mighty Max revival what with the Jurassic World/Park micro-playsets and the Stranger Things Polly Pocket collab showing that they're willing to do collabs with action-oriented IPs.If Mattel would finally do MOTU micro-playsets of the characters disembodied heads and Skull Mountain-esque Castle Grayskull and Snake Mountain sets they would have the perfect testing ground for a new MM line AND attract a wider audience.
>>11836714I just want like 1 other fucking figure I like so I can buy something with He-ro and be done with it. He's so chrome I need that chrome man.
>>11836624Is this the only one we are getting a hint for? I saw a timer on the website that said something about 4 days Also I AM THAT FUCKING GUY WHO ONLY HAD A STONEDAR AND ROBOTO AND STONDAR IS SOLD OUT I AM SO MAD AT MYSELF
>>11838006You know Stonedar is like $43 shipped on the 'bay, right? That's pretty decent for a late tax.
>>11838355Shipping alone is that much in my country now ebay is dogshit and useless for almost everything where I live. A 10 dollar small toy can have 20 to 30 shipping rendering the entire thing not worth it. But then sometimes people have free shipping for bigger stuff somehow. I dont know if its like this in murica but now shipping still has a seperare shipping fee for each item even from the same seller. And your shipping prices arent the same as ours. So many times I see free shipping on google only to get 20+ shipping when I click the link.
Got this yesterday at a store, for the sword and chest piece, it was $13 I think, because Amazon had it at $16 and third party "marketplace scalpers" were all that populated at Walmart. Logged in now to look at prices on something else, and forgot I had tossed him on my list, and Amazon marks it down 33%. I already tore the "box" apart so I can't even return.Sigh.
>>11836826Shit>>11836714GREAT!
>>11837950Mighty Max movie by Travis Knight when!
>>11838569Mattel would have to get the Mighty Max name back first. Some South Asian man registered the name a few years ago. That's why all mini sets out of Mattel are branded Polly Pocket with the collector versions like Stranger Things
New stuff in. Frazetta Girls' Conan, Spectral Undead Guardian Skeleton, and 200X Roboto are here. Conan is cool. Limited movement as he's totally retro. Peg hands, balljoint head, forward/backward swing shoulders, balljoint hips, and peg feet. Nice sculpting. Boss Fight Studios' Undead GITD Blue Skeleton was a WM exclusive. Everything is fine except the hip bar with balljoint ends are too tight even with heat. Modern articulation but no waist turning at all. The Subternia 4-Pack skeleton is a bit better in comparison. 200X Roboto is chunky! Hips are tight. Rest was fine.
>>11838632>Frazetta Girls' ConanHe looks good. I'm still bummed the Boss Fight Studios' Conan turned out to be such an oily mess. I liked that he had Origins style articulation. I would've liked to add hm and their upcoming Thulsa Doom to my Origins collection.
>>11838569I’d rather someone like Guillermo Del Toro do it. The whole appeal of MM was how edgy the toys were and how dark the show was.
Alright I've been thinkingDo you think the reason why the early 2010's MotU comics didn't last as long as contemporary lines was due to DC being the publisher?Nothing on the books actual quality but rather that DC has higher expectations for sales compared to other publishers and unlike other publishers want to focus their best resources on the IP they actually own/made
>>11838877DC's had a poor history od handling licensed comics, so it wouldnt surprise me if that was the case. My question now becomes what publisjer would have been better suited to the task? My gut tells me Dynamite.
>>11838534Apologies but I dont follow, are you unhappy with the figure? Alot of the gimmick releases from the movie line look pretty good to me. Been tempted by both Movie-Boto and Trapjaw.
>>11838686Still planning to get him, but he's so sad compared to FG using their Icons line sculptor. BFS is very cartoon looking.
>>11838632>Robot, barbariab, skeleton ghostFuck yeah thats the shit
>>11838632Can the new Frazetta Icons and Immortal Champions partswap with MotU origins somehow? Even just the armour and heads?
>>11839352Immortals Skeleton head would likely need to heat up a little to fit the bigger Origins ball but it is just a smaller normal balljoint underneath on the Champions body. It should transfer over. The helmet is so big it can fit on the Dolph movie head with that epic hair from Ramen Toy without even heating it up. So any Immortal armor/gear not sculpted on should be able to transfer to Origins.Frazetta Icons heads are a balljoint like Origins. The weapons/armor can transfer over with Conan and Carter. They're slipped over a default muscle body. So that wrist guard can come off. The figure pulls apart with a little heat very easily to take off the arms at the shoulders or the hands or even the legs. The boots are two pieces: The top and sides of the boot are slipped over the bare leg. The foot itself is a peg joint. Not sure any of that will be handy on Origins. Didn't get Death Dealer yet to know if they gave him a new torso or armor over the muscle body. The fur belt on Conan is sculpted as part of the fur trunks.
>>11839381>>11839352
Not gonna go all the way but I can do this without heating it up
>>11825503Chris Pratt's Man At Arms would've made the movie more tolerable.
>>11834648>>11835571>>11835572>>11835618Look if they want Skeletor to be more of a joke villain then at least give him an actual Skeletor like voice in the money laundering sequel.
Day 1 purchase
are his claws articulated?
>>11839764Would be cool if they did a Mortal Kombat Kollab. This body is perfect for Goro and Kintaro.
>>11839381ThanksI have Immortals Hellboy on preorder and Frazetta Icons Deathdealer on the way soon and Im really excited.
>>11839764Im very tempted to buy teo Modulols to give this guy 8 arms.
>>11840039A friend told me his Death Dealer is wearing a one piece armor that snaps on the sides. Should fit a basic Origins body.
Stopped by Ross stores yet again but still no Samurai He-Man for cheap. Did find the CC King and Queen between two Targets. They're putting out solid 4 figure cases of either the Queen or King. $18
>>11839764meh the color palette is as awful as for Evil Extendar IMHO. They both look like rubber dog toys.
>>11839765Yes, both of them.Makes up for no accessories other than removable skirt and shell.
>>11840216purple would have looked alot better than red
How long before we see the Ram-Man/Translucent Skeletor wave on sale?
Could the sequel do better if MGM actually waits to see when certain movies that audiences already hate come out to release?
>>11840216It's too much gold, and looks like piss yellow. A darker gold and if they had kept the original boot design, it would have looked better. Don't know why they decided to make new boots when they already had the sculpt from the mutated Ram Man figure.
He's sick if all the mulch jokes.>yeah, I am gonna dip.
>>11839770Speaking of collabs, what 80s IP other than TMNT you think Mattel is going to use for 2027 collab? Not many other major ones to pick from. Maybe finally do Bravestarr? It'd be limited to Marshall, 30-30, Judge, and Tex Hex.
>>11840558GI Joe is the last 80's tentpole they havent covered yet so I'm a little bullish on it. However they have DC, TMNT, Dino Riders, and Street Sharks to consider now. Not to mention the laundry list of deep cut IP like Bravestarr, Blackstar, Thundarr, or even Conan. Thundercats really did a good job of focusing on the big names so you could do the same with Thundarr and the rest without losing much.
>>11840497kek>>11840310Maybe? My expectation is to see it dumped without any fanfare straight to streaming out of the blue like the LOTR and Netflix Avatar shows did.
Transparent Skeletor's up on amazon canada now
>>11840647Definitely grabbing this one. Will be my first Core figure. Anyone know how the size of the staff heads compare between Core and Chronicles? Would be nice if the effect would be usable. Beyond that, absolutely can't go wrong with a translucent Skeletor.
Movie Talon fighter and greyskull at sdcc
>>11840791As long as all the major/supporting characters are turned into Origins it's all good to me even without a real movie Grayskull playset. Need Fisto and Daina (sp?) to happen. Maybe a movie Eternos Guard from the opening minutes.
>>11840791I really hope turtles and dc get made in this core style and mighty masters style.
You guys think it would be overboard to buy a greyskull just for my mighty masters? The scale looks great to me.
>>11840909Why do you not already have one as a MOTU collector?
>>11840917Because I just started collecting motu this year. My first motu toys was a 200x man at arms from McDonald’s when I was a kid. I went back and rewatched the show after I found out they were doing a new movie. I’m all in on core and mighty masters. Not a fan of origins or chronicles.
>>11840909Honestly you’d be better off getting the battle for eternia 2 in 1 instead which you’ve inspired me to do just for mighty masters.
>>11840791Why do they hate Karg?
>>11840941He gay
>>11840932I want the power sword from the set but idk if I want to pay $90 for it
>>11840971There's a free cult3d version if you can print stuff
>>11840985>There's a free cults3d version if you can print stuffHere we gohttps://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/art/power-sword-holder-masters-of-the-universe-chronicle
>>11840959Yet they made Fisto?
>>11840558TMNT and DC for sure. Would like to see GI Joe or any of the barbarian cartoons or just weird stuff like how the Stranger Things villains turned out without the MOTU required member. Demo and the Hellfire Club demon were good figures.
>>11826969Get to Target, they've been popping up along with King Randor at some locations.
>>11841287
>>11840647Is it Amazon Exclusive or will Target Walmart also get them?
>>11841331I have no idea>Baja Blast SkeletorKek. Man I wish both these variants had gotten better names. Even Baja Blast is higher effort than "translucent skeletor".
>>11841112That's why I keep banging the drum for Thundarr. They already have a working relationship with Warner, it'd be a waste not to realize it. Gi Joe and DC are cool in anycase. I'd still like Fuerza T but I know they'll never bite.
>>11841112>Hellfire Club demonForgot about AD&D. Would love for Hasbro to let them make Warduke Origins. There's a lot of figures from the LJN line they can pull from.
>>11837501He optained flesh, now he's only missing his skin
>>11838632Does the Conan not have any articulation outside of neck and shoulders?
>>11841524>>11839410>>11838632Head, shoulders, wrists, waist, hips, feet. Basically a step up from original MOTU
Chronicle trapjaws head on core trapjaws body
Power slash heman has boot swivel unlike standard core. He’s $9.99 on amazon right now. Going to swap the legs to single card heman.
Obtained He-Man the Barbarian Core War Paint edition at Target along with Heel mode John Cena. Didn't see much difference with MAA from the 4-pack version.
>>11841616Oh nice thanks for the tip>>11841614At a glance it's not too bad but the longer you look it more obvious the mismatch is. Good use of the power slash shield btw.
>>11841743>the longer you look it more obvious the mismatch isIn a way but it’s more accurate to the movie. I remember his head being huge.
>>11841616This is actually super helpful
>>11841588How is it a step up if origins can do this too but also knees and elbows as well?
>>11841915>How is it a step up if origins>>11841588>Basically a step up from original MOTU>original MOTU>original>MOTU
Does anyone here own either the bossfight H.A.C.K.S epic or hero Red Sonja? Does one of them fit in with the Origins line height wise? I'm confused because I thought that epic just meant more bonus stuff (extra heads etc) but now I found out it's also 1/12 while hero is 1/18. But shops have the hero sonja listed as 10-15cm while the epic one is just listed as 1/12. To make it worse epic Conan is listed as 8-10cm. I ask here because It's about which will fit better with my origins because I use them for my fantasy display.
>>11841982There's a whole line called Immortal Champions which Boss Fight is making to go with the 5 point 5 sized figures like Origins.
>>11842006Can you make her naked?
>>11842006I wasn't aware of this but she does look really bad. Compared to the other two.
>>11842014Really?>>11842013I saw in a video that both the chainmail top and bottom are removable. She's got bare upper but painted thing under the lower.
>>11842024>Really?which part? But yes to both. Never saw that version and now that I did it doesn't make me want to have it either.
Can't remember the last time Ive been really excited to get an origins.
So I missed Blast Attak on MC. But there hasn't been a lot of chatter about him on here...I just want a version of him for nostalgia sake. Is the Orgins a huge upgrade or would I be happy with a vintage?
>>11842316https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMRGxr9bZLYGimmick works exactly the same, there are no extra accessories, they look alike thought Origins might be a brighter and shinier and maybe a tiny bit have a dopier face. Vintage has a stronger spring so explodes better.Origins has a cable going over from upper arm to lower, not sure if that's cool or if it risks getting damaged. Since gimmick is retained, Origins has not waist articulation.
>>11842381Thank you. I took a break from Origins after Red Shadow broke my spirits and I'm getting caught up.How does 200x Prince Adam scale with Origins He-Man? It would be perfect to have a twink Adam that really seems smaller than He-Man.
>>11842429https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTZdjwfJn1gIDK if you meant 200X He-Man or vintage design one but this video should get you the idea.
>>11842434Thank you, that was perfect. I appreciate how helpful you were instead of calling me a fag.
>>11842461>>11842434Get a room fags
>>11842116Mine shipped and says arriving tomorrow>>11842006>>11842024She looks fine. Not the greatest hair, they should have reused >>11841982 but it still works with the cartoon look they went for. Conan should have gotten more accessories to feel right. The necklace should have been a given. Maybe an additional ax and a better shield design. This >>11838632 had the right idea of a shield
>>11842508You can have this cheeseburger if I can suck your cock.
>>11828768Nooooo! The instructions specifically say not to do that with him!
yea or nay on king hiss?
>>11842928
Movie origins skeletor teela.
>>11843263skeletor looks good teela not so much.
>>11843263Is this AI? or they did they only had the tygra cardback left for test shots or something?
>>11843278It’s ai
>>11843282is everything ai now?
>>11843278Target preorder images.
>>11843286Yes.
>>11843298>If only you knew how bad things really are
>>11843263I don't remember Teela using a gold sword.Something about seeing the movie design on an Origins frame just seems unnatural.
>>11843395Gonna cop that head to go on 200x skeletor
New thread time
I've ordered Reptilax, I hope he looks as good in person as he does on the pictures online. I wish they would remake him but with different animal heads. Like a bull-, shark- and some kind of bird heads.
Whoever bakes next remember it’s SDCC edition
>>11843446New thread: >>11843636Tried to update as much as I could remember
>>11841514This would be awesome! Instead we got Sun-Man. Thanks Mattel.
