>>11865240>Where’s everyone else stand on 2027s lineup?This is a really great question. I’m new and am only interested in chronicles because of it being 1/12.
Mondo !/12 Skeletor is shipping, but of course mine is gonna be one of the last to.
>>11865712Looking at how the arms peg in, it looks like this will have the arm swinging action feature. Doesn't look like they will be able to puch each other though. You think they'll include the regular origins torso too, reuse the one from 2Bobsteady and CC Twobad.
>>11865748Stop whining you ninny
>>11865706That's good to know. I also got the shipping notice on my Adam and Cringer, so $200 and have all this coming. Not bad for a new collector. Still no man beast though sadly. Going to need to keep hunting for him.>>11865490Do you think it will happen and what would be different? I feel like battle cat fall into the vehicle line which don't usually get 2 version.That said, a CC 2 pack with another He-man and Battlecat wouldn't surprise me. Kind of like the Battlefield Warriors set.
>>11865723>>11865724I never get tired of stuff like this. Takes me back to the toyfare days everytime.
Considering they are both available for the same price. Which one do people here prefer?
>>11865831Do you like piss?
>>11865817Check Google maps if you got any local ROSS Dress for Less store as well. The last two CC waves, Grizzlor, Orko, Fangman and Bow, Whiplash, Shadow Weaver, were being dumped there. They price around 10-15 depending on the store. Usually by the checkout line area if you don't find them in the toys. You might find CC whiplash still hanging out at some DDs Discount Stores for 6.
Cyberzoic MOTUFest '26 exclusive- the Zora Kett and Jungle Saber, packaging art.
>>11865748I wanted to preorder him but a part of me is probably gonna be stupid and hope to luck out with getting a timed edition at a con. That and I would forever regret not having those sad Skeletor faces
>>11865844The Cyberzoic guys always remind me that Mattel owns both MOTU and Dino Riders and has never once considered a crossover. They wouldnt even have to be replicas of the originals. Just make the Dino Riders cast in Mighty Masters scale and pair the two lines together with a bunch of dinosaurs!
>>11865831The one comes with an alt-colored Sorceress and one comes with a moat mat and a SPACEMAN. There's also the Battle for Eternia playset that is half Greyskull, half Snake Mountain and comes with a gold movie Skeletor.
>>11865838Nah. I'm a third worlder so no US discount store for me. Thanks though. I have to rely on generous ebay sellers and local toy shops.>>11865858I honestly just want the Matty Collector one. Since it's been 13 years and Super7 were not allowed to redo it do you think Mattel are working on a re-release?
>>11865860Also, as anyone got a picture to show how the 2013 scales with vintage figures as I know it was made for the 7" classics line?
I have no idea where I’m going to put this
>>11865891Based milk man growing big and strong
>>11865891My house has multiple bookshelves too tall for my wife to reach the top so I have my figures in outposts there.
>>11865748I got mine today. It has some issues, not gonna lie. Pommel of the purple sword immediately came unglued, right knee is really loose, fabric loincloth is glued on lopsided, timed edition expression heads fit very loosely in his hood compared to the two with articulated jaws, and his hands don't really grip his staff very well and it feels like over time it'll become an issue with how heavy it is. He looks really good, but at these prices I expect better; I compare this to the similarly priced and sized storm collectibles M.Bison and its not very favorable. If He-man and Man-at-arms have the same kind of issues I'm probably out after Mer-man as he's the one I wanted the most.
>>11865927I only grabbed Clawful so far, and I'll probably just get any weird exclusives I can that could compliment Chronicles. They look really good for the most part, but having to ship these from Mondo directly killed my interest in wanting to collect the line. They don't look good enough to me to warrant the price vs say a Chronicles figure, or other imports.
When are we getting Oklahoma Adam, drunk Duncan, and Pigboy in Core?
>>11865927They're good about replacing stuff if you have any issues y'know. Doesn't hurt to ask them.
>>11865939probably never with how things arent selling
>>11865939I want a comic store playset.
>>11865831I still prefer the original because neither of these feel as creepy from the front but I do have the first Origins release. The new one was a neat idea but falls short by just being a repaint. It would have needed some additional sculpting to resemble the true prototype. Ironically enough, if they had made the Origins concept Grayskull look like the prototype it might have been my favorite Grayskull of all time.
Does anyone have the photoshopped photo of chronicles moveie Teela with no pants from a few threads back?Thanks in advance.
>>11865891Why you take of TapJaw's head?
>>11865927could you post a pic of him side by side with other figs?
>>11865973>Does anyone have the photoshopped photo of chronicles moveie Teela with no pants from a few threads back?Hope someone try to swap her legs with He-Man ones to achieve this
>>11865984Man at arms blew him up
>>11865817>>11865474Depends on postage or shipping fees, you could potentially have found some for less, I did, but you would likely want to factor gas, time, convenience.So yes, probably a good haul plus it sounds like you are happy, which is honestly the more important thing.>>11865831>>11865835If you were dying of thirst, would you care?
>>11865973Idk which one you're talking about but here
>>11866062YES!! That’s it! Thank you so much Amon!How much better would the movie be this design?
>>11866081I just re-watched the movie and realized Trapjaw was flying around in the Collector at the end. Unfortunately I don't think they'll do one for Core.
So finally got to opening one of my gym bro skeletors. It's very disappointing that the hood and shirt are one piece. If yoj dont pose him right it can make the hood ride up as you can see in the pic
Lame ... I kinda expected more
>>11866150>the gains were fake all alongdamn...
>>11865723>>11865724lul>>11866150I can't help but think that was done as a joke for the toy designers
>>11865831>>11865835>that scene where he couldnt find the bathroom
>>11865712No 200x announcements? I just need like 2 more guys
>>11866230It's been pushed off to the side. They refuse to really complete things before hopping to another lineup. It's like toy line ADHD.
>>11866324If they complete a full set, then the people who were only interested in that set will move on.
>>11866230Trapjaw, Sorceress, Sy-Klone, and Man-E-Faces are coming.
>>11865988NTA but if he doesn't I will when I get mine. I don't own every skeletor tho, just classics, couple of origins and a couple of masterverse, absolutely nothing from the new lines.
>>11866230this is just what they dothey did the same thing with vintage, making us wait how many fucking years now for two badthey did the same thing with filmation, switching to 200x before giving us the last main charactersmondo will unironically probably finish 200x before mattel
>>11866363It's not just Origins eitherLook at MVRevelations didn't cover what everyone wanted. Neither did PoP, or NA, or the 1987 movie sublines. The New Eternia subline kinda gets a pass because it was based on nothing so you can't really "finish" it. Maybe the guys left out just don't exist in that continuity. But even there, I bet there's still some sour grapes over stuff like only 1 NE Snakeman
>>11866150Just swap the regular ones upper chest onto it
Date Night Skeletor just went up but he's $60https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/product/masters-universe-2026-chronicles-skeletor-velvet-action-figure-185853?variation=363773
>>11866355Went up for preorder this morning
>>11866447$60 feels pretty excessive for this.
>>11866452It is. Wwe figures with soft goods like this are like $35
>>11866452Yeah gym bro Skeletor at least came with special packaging and was an SDCC exclusive and that was $50
>>11866447Is this figure a BBTS exclusive or what?
>>11866452It is, by $20 imo. So is two bad actually coming this year? I'm trying to wrap up my origins collection and I could call it a day with two bad since I've already boxed up my collection.
>>11866447I didn't realize he was going to be THAT much. Yow, that's a kick in the balls. How much is Office Skeletor going to cost then? Fuck.
>>11866476Presumably no soft goods, so probably less? $40? I wasn't a huge fan of the Date Night look (or the execution if I'm being honest), so I don't mind missing it. If the office one is too much, I'll just stick with Gym and be happy with that. Don't need that many variants anyways.
He has a listing on Amazon.ca. Maybe it's just a regular release? https://www.amazon.ca/Masters-Universe-Chronicles-Velvet-Figure/dp/B0G27TTGQD/ref=sr_1_13
>>11866355just one more guy, dammit
>>11866505Dont want Mekaneck?
>>11866448Link?
>>11866579Just check Amazon. They’re currently sold out but just setup an auto buy for the retail amount and you’ll get a preorder in when they come back up.
I wish Mekanek was a Brachiosaurus I havent slept in 4 days
>>11866363>>11866378The fact we're getting nothing to celebrate the Lundgren movie's 40th anniversary next year is baffling to me. You'd think they would have had a chronicles line or something in the works. Sell me the magical bel air with detective lubic!
>>11866606Imagine if we finally got the PoG dinos and the line sold so well we just got a whole follow up collection where all of the Masters are given matching dinosaur mounts.
>>11866609Is...is this implying Colossus got turned into a dinosaur?
>>11866610>Sauron: But I don't WANT to cure cancer. I want to turn people into dinosaurs.
>>11866619Wasn't that Stegron's prerogative?
>>11866621Yeah, but Sauron shows up more often.
>>11866362I just want see him next to shf figuarts goku so chichi can see what she is missing.
>>11866621Sauron is so evil he STEALS other people's motivations!
>>11866610Not directly but it's more likely than not.
>>11866633>Joseph and AmphibiousWho the fuck
>>11866638Magneto's short lived memory loss persona.
>>11866633Why does that Angel have orange skin
The $14 Amazon Resale Keldor arrived, I thought he was going to be taller. It didn't seem to be a messed up package or swap - except the zombie head was taped up, not sealed. Still not thrilled that it's not all one color but I can't really complain for $14.
>>11866680forgot picture
>>11866669They might have intended ro depict him as sunburned or weathered by the savageland during the design phase. Final production versions just have standard fair skin.>>11866638It's 90's X-men. Somebody would rip ass and it'd lead to the conception of entire teams.
>>11866681>>11866680What do you have in mind with all the partswaps? Zombie keldor's head looks right at home on Faker's body.
>>11866633That dino is kinda fun.I agree, having them scale for figures to ride like Battlecat would be nest.Just picked up a used of this and need to clean him up and use some poster adhesive so his horns stay on, but I will see if the Core figures can fit on it. Chronicles and anything else are too big. Origins should work fine but I don't own any.Is the Sketchbook Series body the same as an Origins?
Did you guys like that 3AM drop or is MOTU gen too chill to get mad about missing preorders anymore?
>>11866692I don't think you see him plus I have a shitty camera on this particular phone, but I have a GI Joe Classified figure of Dusty with camo on his face (there's actually two different heads and I have the other head somewhere else), and I want to try the camo movie MOTU head on the Joe, and vice versa. Otherwise, I just like swapping things. I can remember what I own. I can look up what came with what, so why keep the bodies with the factory gear.For example, I hate the harness on Faker. That orange just looks cheap and crappy. I might take the metallic armor from the MV Faker or, if I end up buying that MV Battle Armor figure?I also have a bunch of fodder, mostly to customize, intending to photograph (but need a better setup, lights, camera) and then probably try to sell off, because I don't want to keep or display military stuff.All the fantasy stuff, like swords, I was going to dump into lots and sell off until I got interested in MOTU.I do have some kinda medieval looking figures that won't really look out of place with MOTU. But I don't think I will ever go all-in - like most of you. Mostly He-Man.Like the casual DC toy collector's who annoy me b/c they own 20 Batman figures and not much else!!
What the Hell... I REALLY didn't expect this guy to sell out.
>>11866756Probably just their in-stock allocation. At least, it seemed like they had some stock. They'll probably open up preorders like EE did.
>>11866429Different colors
>>11866798There was that variant one with the darker skin, that might be closer.
>>11866128Gains>hoes
>>11866756He's a fancy guy
>>11866692
>>11866798Actually the gym bro torso looks more like the off-color repaint, although it might be different in hand than across a posted, cropped photo.
I hope that when H.R Skeletor gets announce and eventually up, it won't sell out that fast is really the only one i want
>>11866513not really
>>11866798Whats with those extra wheels between his arms and torso? They help him make curls?
>>11866940They cover the joint in rhe shoulder. They are just free floating rings but they allow a larger socket for more motion range but cover up the hole that bigger socket creates. Alot more figures are getting them these days.
I decided to finally watch the movie yesterday, and made it to about the halfway point, I may finish it today but man is it so dumb, I was rolling my eyes the whole time. I may not be the greatest Filmation fan, but at least that feels sincere, this feels like it has to constantly make fun of itself or wink at the fans.It was cool seeing the designs in "movie form", I'll at least give them that.
>>11866953>at least that feels sincereas in it's sincerely trying to get you to buy toys at the lowest production cost they could get away with for a cartoon?
>>11866976I mean it is, but that doesn't mean there's no other value there, and again, I say that as someone that really isn't into it.
>>11866953>but at least that feels sincereI keep seeing this but one of the main sticking points of the climax goes through how genuinely sincere it is about Adam's journey and I feel like the people who are quick to write it off always seem to gloss over this.
>>11866987Interestingly enough I think the plot outline is good enough, I think there's a version of this movie that is good, I just don't care for the constant jokes, specially when they don't land, and I don't care for all the self referential stuff and memes.You could be right, maybe it all comes together at the end, I don't know if the path there is worth it.
>>11866951Btw is he more articulated than the bare naked body like that? I'm really hoping Mattel takes what they have and keep refining it, because I think theyre already one of the best mass market figures but they can be better with increased range in the already existing joints.
>>11866756You didn't account for the rabidness of MOTU collectors. If anyone is willing to overpay on a figure, well, you know now.
Lol this squink can't go a single thread without bringing up his butt worms.
>>11867063I'm sorry I didn't like the movie anon, seems is doing well on streaming, so you'll get more from it, have a blessed day.
This could be us but you playin'.
>>11867081I really hope we get a bunch of OCs using modulok parts. Every single component on him is rife with potential.
>>11867019Nothing is a greater testament to that reality than the fact MOTU collectors carried the franchise from the 2000's into the 2020's off limited release collectibles alone (classics, super7)
>>11866990When it first came out I was adamant in my belief that what could have been a 10/10 movie was ruined by millenial humor, I still believe that. One anon said he'd rip the bluray and edit out all the marvel jokes. I hope he delivers.
>>11867117I don't even think of it as millenial jokes, just MCU beats. It tries too hard at times, but minus those parts, yeah it's fun. I do like how even though they make fun of his degree and job, his sense of care and understanding for people being his power was a nice little lesson. Very cheesy but I could use some of that optimism in such irony poisoned times
>>11867115They could have put them in stores at any time and they would have done just as well, the DC two packs/ current Origins is proof of that. They just wanted to rip you off with Matty Collector memberships.
If you saw that nevermind I don't care anymore
Post minicomic things that you want to see get toys. Or anything obscure really.
>>11867157Fear of being sincere because that's cringe and people make fun of you when you're cringe so you use gags to distance yourself from the story to make it look like you dont care and you're not taking it seriously to give yourself safety.So in old movies you'd have character say something like "I'll dedicate the rest of my life to fighting for justice and protecting the innocent" and that would be the scene.Now you need scene ruined by someone going "Wow, heavy stuff. A bit cheesy but ok"Like a lot of humor is just set up scene as cool, ruin the mood, comedy gold. Like Teela going "we're saved....we're screwed."Just look at opening narration by Adam and how many times they shut down the mood "Its called sword of power...I know but that's what they went with"
>>11867170Can I ask how old are you Im trying to figure out what kind of people believe this movie was like this to understand.
>>11867169I still at least want Prince Dakon since they made Geldor.
>>11867197Everytime I see a big guy like those monster guys I get excited that it might become a BaF now.
>>11867184NTA but 32, and yes it was kinda like that. I still thought the movie was pretty good and I'm looking forward to the next one.
>>11867169pink Teela has always been a want. Glad we at least got a mega bloks one.
>>11867170>>11867258I'm 42. Old ass unc here. But I agree with this critique of the movie. In general i was extremely relieved that it wasn't embarrassing but found all the jokes undercut the drama. And the gay jokes, or subtext or whatever was out of place.
>>11867114I can't imagine that they would go through the trouble of molding all these parts just to use them once.
>>11867286The one in particular I dislike enough to distinctly remember is when they were doing the slow-motion-cool-walk out of the prison cell and started coughing because of all the dust. Less of that kind of thing would be nice. Didn't mind them poking fun at the names, as long as it's only in the first movie. I'll let them do it one more time if they get all the characters whose names end with -or in one room.
>>11867286For me it was Fisto fists things and Teela's ass
Thought id check my local supermarket for toys today as remember seeing battle cat there years ago. Saldy nothing. Its only 1 aisle and all they had was a movie skeletor.Its sad living somewhere without toy shops. I remember even as a kid we used to get catalogues through the door at Christmas and your parents would mail order toys and collect them in-store because they weren't able to hold much stock or have many displays.Guess its back to Amazon/ebay trawling.
>>11867169>Or anything obscureHaven't seen her posted in a while. Strictly from minicomics though, Lodar. Of course he's probably a popular pick on most everyone's list That demon from the Ordeal of Man-e-Faces would be pretty cool too I think
>>11867356>-or in one room.Wait how many are there
A rabbi who loves MotU.
>>11867876Skeletor, Spikor, Stinkor, Panthor, Webstor, Grizzlor, Rattlor, Tung Lashor, Gwildor, Ninjor....I dont think they'll get King Randor.
How deep do you think the Origins BAF reboot is going to go with figure releases? A concept recolor of every vintage figure? Will they release the remaining vehicles under the banner, Mantenna, Attack Trak, Fright Fighter, Battle Ram... Gygor is a given BAF, what other monster can they use?
>>11867968Megator and Tytus will be BAFs.
>>11867968Good options for BAFs, aside from Gygor and the other Mask of Power demon>The Horde Glob>Custar>The "Ordeal of Man-E-Faces" demon>The Glorm>Haramesh>Terror-EyeIf they restart Cartoon Collection again after this restart of vintage>Dragoon>Icer >One of those rock monsters that kept appearing
>>11867968I just started exclusively collecting the filmation cartoon collection origins and I'm pretty excited about the prospect of a BAF wave for Molkrom. There are still a bunch of characters we need. I just got they dont mix it up and give us vintage, cartoon and power princess in one wave to get a BAF from another.
>>11868056>to build Molkrom, you need to buy Cartoon Collection Sy-Klone, Glimmer, Fisto, Mermista, Lizard Man and Blast-Attak
>>11867955...Keldor, Vypor, Stridor, Colossor, Plundor, Rattlor, Mosquitor. Whoever has all of these, PLEASE take a photo of them together.
>>11868073You can keep Glimmer and Mermista, but id take the others along with roboto and mossman
>>11867286>>11867170>>11867401>>11867356ah yes, MOTU, the GEN that thinks it's Rotten Tomatoes and not just another corner of Plastic Crack Central
So what ever happened to people bragging that the Snake Lair was shipping soon?
>>11868237We're literally just talking about the movie. Relax.
>>11868242I got snake lady, waiting on snake lair nowAlso hoping we get Pythonus one day, felt like that was very close to happening
>>11867968>A concept recolor of every vintage figure?I hope so, I'm looking forward to the figures they've revealed that look unique enough to feel new, like card-back Magenta Faker and Zodak. While I'm not looking forward to being forced to re-buy straight up reissues like Skeletor and Battle armor He-man in order to add the BAF's to my collection.
Is the Core line better for partswapping? I think I saw someone putting Marvel Legends heads in them and changing limbs and stuff. Obviously origins is the best but theyre hard to find here. And Chronicle's have such good sculpts.Do Chronicle or Core heads fit on Origins? I have almost everything in boxes right now so I cant check
I hope mattel gives us warlord toys in this style and origins scale
>>11868400Idk about Chronicle but Core and Origins have the same size neck pegs.
Is it a hot take that I think the Mondo figures simply don't look nice enough to justify the cost and FOMO exclusivity?
>>11868498I dont think chronicles is the same size because I cant swap these heads: >>11868492
>>11868398He-Galient? Panzer-Man?
>>11868492It wouldnr surprise me if they had something coming down the pipeline. They already mentioned they have a collector DC line in mind. A MOTU crossover seems inevitable at this point.
>>11868400>Do Chronicle or Core heads fit on Origins?Just tried between He-Man and Ninjor, it does not fit. Origins peg is quite a bit bigger.
After hours of internet trawling I may have just found a Cartoon Collection Filmation Beastman for retail. Hopefully it isn't a scam. Wish me luck bros!
>>11867169How obscure? I really want the Glorm. One of the first named monsters he-man fought. Plus it looks cool.
I'm surprised I haven't seen more Multi-Bot posting. Modulok was really popular here.
>>11868571Not really, also too stylized to my taste
>>11868966>>11868973It's too fucking big. Why is the main figure whose gimmick was parts swapping so fucking huge that he looks retarded with the entire rest of the line.
>>11868982No idea why they made him too big, but stonedar and rokkon have the opposite problem of being too small. Completely pisses me off, and there's no excuse since the pegs and sockets are all still the same size.
>>11868776Good luck bro.I wish they'd re-release the first two waves of the CC. I'm missing a couple, like Beastman, myself.
Man e faces, Fisto and Mekaneck are coolest heroic warriors outside of the man trio. Got my 200x man e preorder in and I am fucking jazzed about it.
>>11868984The Rokkon and Stonedar thing at least makes sense because if you have the vintage figures, you'll notice they were so smaller in height and build compared to He-Man and the normal sized characters. They maintained scale while Modulok and Multi-Bot got scaled up
>>11868967wtf is this
>>11868966Found 6 of them the other day, but the savings aren't that great compared to online. Like $5 off what you could get it for on Amazon without driving around hoping to get lucky.
>>11869041Blasterhawk.
>>11869069Big blasterhwak
>>11868994Thanks a lot. Did they ever re-release wave one previously? I can't find he-man either, but faker will do. Skeleton might be a problem.Beastman supposedly just shipped. It was from some random boutique site in Switzerland of all places. They only had 1 left. Reminds me of when my uncle who was a pilot flew to Germany in Christmas 1990 hunting for TMNT figures because they were sold out in London.
Finally got to go to our biggest toy shop and was surprised they still had origins. Just sadly only the 200x ones.Since im only collecting filmation ones ill stick to online.
>>11869342Fuck filmation you’ll never complete it. You’re better off collecting 200x
I've been here since Origins wave 3 with the vintage-style She-Ra. I remember asking "So as they're finishing vintage MotU at retail, how are they going to release the rest of Princess of Power? Mix the girls into MotU waves on the red explosion card like this She-Ra? Cases of PoP Origins intended to be stocked in the doll aisle? Or switch to Filmation style like Classics?"Joke was on me!
>"On an earnings call with analysts this afternoon, Kreiz and his team leaned into the strength of the action figures category as a whole, including strong performance from Toy Story 5, WWE, and early shipments from Mattel’s relaunched line inspired by DC superheroes and villains. The biggest winner came straight out of Eternia as the Masters of the Universe brand has more than tripled its sales this year, fueled by the performance of the live-action film from Amazon MGM Studios...." https://toybook.com/mattel-q2-2026-earnings/Neat
>>11869453Well I for one think we all owe Jared Leto a BIG apology!
>>11869422>thinking Mattel will let you finish 200x either lmfao

>>11869466>>11869502Better off
>>11869502
>>11869453>MOTU is Matty's number 1 boy's line againI really hope this pushes them to try again with their other in house boys brands,
>>11869514Street Sharks...
>>11869486Hold on, I am going to write you a seething multi part post about how this is ackshully bad news.
>>11869525Make sure you fervently condemn Origins Mekaneck's use of extendo pegs while furiously defending the honor of the shuri-coptor.
>>11869453>the movie bombed faggot BLOWN THE FUCK OUTeat shit retard
>>11869453Neat. Hope this is a good sign for their TMNT line.Now do Street Sharks again.
>>11869453> We continued to execute our multi-year strategy to grow our IP-driven play and family entertainment business in the second quarter with strong growth in net sales. >Growth has continued in the third quarter, and we expect to achieve our full-year 2026 guidance. Our world-class brand portfolio and product offering, driven by our brand-centric operating model and global capabilities, position us well for the second half of the year.HAHAHA eat a bag of dicks doomers
>>11869453He won.
>>11869531The shuri-copter was amazing! It was very toyetic and branded with a character beloved by dozens of kids worldwide. It was successful (unlike anything motu related) because kids actually like and know Marvel characters. Also it was widely available at Ross and Ollies, unlike Motu which is really only available through fan channels so kids only see that nostalgiaslop if their parents are forcing it on them.Origins was always going to fail because it can't tell what it wants to be. Is it for collectors who value articulation and mini comic accurate colors. Or is it for kids? Mekaneck is a perfect example of how NO one was pleased with these toys. Nobody wanted neck pegs. Mattel should have found a way to make his gimmick work while also allowing him to part swap necks with Rattlor. This whole Motu comeback peaked with Masterverse wave 1 because those toys (unlike *rigins) knew they had to capture the likeness of Kevin Smith's vision and they succeeded at that while clearly appealing to adult collectors. Slam dunk.The movie didnt even get the red dot on Man at Arms helmet right. Shows they really didn't give a hoot for the long time fans who would get that little detail. Slop.
>>11869534A TMNT and Street Sharks crossover is all but inevitable, which will be used to relaunch the SS line now that its no longer all hands on deck for the MOTU movie.
>>11869453Told you you guys were dooming for nothing!MOTU 2 and beyond, here we FUCKING go.
>>11869502>>11869503>>11869506>still no battle cat for either line
>>11869503>only 2 heman figures >only one each of the restNeat.
>>11869693Next year baby. Pixel Dan hinted he knew a battle cat was coming to 200x.
>>11869514WE ARE SO BACK!!
There’s also a rumor we’re getting a prince Adam in chronicles
>>11869716But I’m pretty sure that stems from the scareglow box
>>11869721
>>11869422I honestly think that is a problem with any line. Completion is simply having every figure they made. You'll never get every concievable character and vehicle in every appearance and style.Got my first every motu figure today since I was a kid. Feels good.
>>11869728>You'll never get every concievable character and vehicle in every appearance and styleSomeone doesn’t collect Bluey
>>11869506desu theres like legit only 3 figures i need for this to feel complete, of course they wont give us them though
>>11869734Which ones
How do you guys feel about the superhero emblem? I’d always preferred the 200x one but knowing that the origins refresh and chronicles will using the H M it’s growing on my out of acceptance of the inevitable.
Prince Adam should’ve been a child in the movie all the way through. You still could’ve had Nick as heman and it would’ve made the goofy names work better.
>>11869735sorceress, battle cat, kobra khanobviously I would take more than those as theres like a dozen other characters they could easily do but the line doesn't feel complete without those three
>>11869733nta, but today at Ross I saw a set with Bingo and Turtleboy. They really will make anything into a toy for that show.
Guys. I've developed a crippling addiction to Origins figures I don't think I'm ever going to financially recover from. Pray for me.
>>11869741Worst idea ever
>>11869740I like the way it looks on the new figure with the clear plastic.
>>11869740>>11869753Too Horde-looking for my taste. The Iron Cross is best and fits my personal headcanon best.
>>11869753Nta but I think that’s what won me over with it but a I do agree with>>11869755it looking horde like. Even the helmet on that figure is pushing it pretty far with the wings but maybe there’s new lore we don’t know about for these versions.
>>11869422>200xFUCK that!! Where is my fucking new adventures mattel??!!
>>11869753More bat like than the origins
>>11869761
>>11869763
>>11869763This is sick
>>11869750Man I’ve managed to stay away from origins but I know next years refresh is going to make me buy in. I’m so far all in and caught up on both core and 200x. Look on the bright side you aren’t me yet.
BFS should really sweep up some of these wannabe MotU/Conan projects for more Immortal Champions characters to release on their slutty female buck. Red Sonja has been getting plenty of positive reviews>https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2118437440/barbarika-1-nsfw-graphic-novel
>>11869761Mr Home Arcade?>>11869764Parts from the Target exclusive mixed with the movie figure?
>>11869775NTA but the legs might be off one of the recent captain america marvel legends
>>11869774That’s terrible.
>>11869763>>11869764Fuckin' hated the short hair. This kicks ass.
>>11869778Really want a sequel with a NA outfit sequence just to get Mattel to do NA figures in Origins
Blonde Teela is best Teela. Sketchbook release when?
>>11869839Best case scenario I'd want a second film to cover the snake men, then ideally the third movie would be about the horde and skeletor's return. At this point I fear they'll just prioritize she-ra instead.
>>11869522soon...>>11869534>>11869646I could honestly see an animated movie releasing alongside the toyline. At this point we might even get another TMNT/Batman project considering all the pies Matty hss their fingers in. You have to wonder if they intentionally kept the original sharks revival smalltime because they were hatching out this deal with Paramount. Hell, maybe they should try adapting the Superman and He-man comic from back in the day too.
I hope we get a more vibrant repaint of movie skeletor
>>11869918I want this to exist now
>>11869921I want all the movie origins done in original colors
>>11865712Why did mattel drag their feet for literal years on releasing two bad? Its so fucking infurating they are only now coming out with him when i originally expected him to come out 3 or 4 years ago back when motu origins wasnt mostly an online exclusive toy line. Also do we have any idea on a date of when two bad and laser light skeletor will be abaible to purchase yet?
>>11869758>new lore we don’t know about for these versions.Its sky sled armour so I think its just supposed to match its color and has dragon wings on the helmet.
>>11869929It almost gives me the feeling if Kain from FF4/dragoons. I wonder if Eterian soldiers have a full version of this armour for the sky sleds too.
>>11869928>Also do we have any idea on a date of when two bad and laser light skeletor will be abaible to purchase yet?Yes
>>11869918>>11869926It would be a good idea for a holiday set at Target this Winter. A couple of pair offs: He-Man vs Skeletor, MAA vs Trap-Jaw, Evil-Lyn vs Teela.>>11869740Cross > H. Not a huge fan of the 200X logo so I'd still take the H first. The movie Cross was really well done so it's a shame to not see them just adapt it going forward.
>>11869750The slope is very slippery. Please take it slow and carefully. I'd recommend to focus on only buying your 'must-haves' for now. And be weary of sales, like how BBTS has many for about half off their MSRP price. Thankfully there aren't that many prone to scalper prices or are hard to get or anything like that (outside a select few that were hard to get and exclusive anyways).
>>11869916>You have to wonder if they intentionally kept the original sharks revival smalltime because they were hatching out this deal with ParamountYou're likely on to something as the toys sold well and never hit clearance, then the line just up and stopped all of a sudden. Mattel is demonstrating that it plays the long game recently and it might all be tying into setting the turtles up as a launching platform. As for the movie I'm totally down for an animatec feature, provided it is as far away from mutant Mayhem as humanly possible.
>>11869936>YesWhen then, when will two bad and skeletor come out on mattelcreations, my good sir?
>>11869914>At this point I fear they'll just prioritize she-ra instead."History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce."
>>11869750Buy everything and more often
>>11869912>lever that operates a trap door directly under the leverDick move
>>11869752But Shazam was my favorite film :(
>>11870026It's a good oneTot Adam to grown He-Man could work but I'm not sure a movie aiming to resurrect a struggling brand is the place to give it the dry run
>>11869990We don't know. They didn't tell us. All we can do is make educated guesses based on the last two years of SDCC shitLast year they had Dragstor and Stingor who came out in Oct and Dec But the year before they had Rio Blast, and Vultak who came out in Jan and FebSo we've got a five month window of late this year to early next year where those two will probably fall
>>11870026A Captain Marvel and MotU crossover would be fun
>>11869774WTF this AI slop thing got funded?!
>>11869761This is all I want from Motu at this point. Maybe add Dare into this line because he shoulda been in space.Oh and also I need Wrap Trap. That's all I want from Motu Origins.And the remaining PoP cast. Can't skip Glimmer and Madam Raz. Ok that's really all I want from Motu.
https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/product/masters-universe-2026-chronicles-skeletor-velvet-action-figure-185853?variation=363773He's up again on bbts. Not sure about other sites.
>>11870231Glimmer, Madame Raz, Angella, Scorpia, Entrapta, Castaspella, Perfuma, Mermista, Flutterina, Peekablue, Sweet Bee, Netossa, Spinnerella. Imp, Kowl and Loo-Kee packed with full-size characters.Space Mutants reusing vintage parts like Classics did. And at least Mara, Sagitar, Tuskador for the NA good guys.
>>11870233People are already running auctions with him and gym bro on secondary markets but yeah he's also sold out on EE and Bezolandia still.Also, why is the Prince Adam cartoon collection figure a 'frequently returned Item?' That they gave him no swords?
>>11869981NTA - but why be weary of sales?I don't want ALL the Masterverse figures, especially being new to MOTU and not having the relationship some might have with deeper cut dharacters.But as a recent collector and being patient, I am picking up what I want of the MV or New Eternia figures, here and there (admittedly a few slightly incomplete and secondhand). This includes using what I can get on markdown at BBTS?Am I missing something? I do appreciate that something like the Masterverse Prince Adam would be hard to find at a fair or even reasonable price. So I can see someone who wanted the entire line could get screwed, even if 4-5 figures were bought on sale, versus say starting fresh with Chronicles at retail.
>>11870253Because I confused 'weary' with 'wary' lolI only meant to say be cautious of buying things for full price or mark up because sales usually happen for older figures which are readily available. So if you see one thats a year or two old still going for MSRP then you may want to wait on a sale if money is a restriction.
it's so rare now when we get a nice vintage-styled 5.5 guy. I love 200X but I miss it.
How many of you will buy chronicle army builders that are $30 after tax? How many would you buy if so? 4 for any builder would be my limit
>>11870429none, fuck that.
>>118704294 seems about right. Maybe 5.
>>11870429What kind of army builders do you envision them making? I'm kind of surprised there's been no sign of the Skel-knights from the movie. As for the question, I usually go 2 for army builder types.
>>11870432>doesn’t want to buy ABs for Motu You know what Napoleon you can leave
>>11870434>I'm kind of surprised there's been no sign of the Skel-knights from the movieThat will probably be mixed in the forth wave of chronicles next year. I’d imagine we’d get them and royal guards like>>11870433. Someone brought up the question of if flight armor heman implied all sky sled pilots wore a full version of that armor set so something like that would be cool. Snake men also.
>>11869916>adapting the Superman and He-manPeople did compare MOTU's new actor to David Corenswet's Superman. But the comic is a built up DC Universe with a full established league so a new story would be better. Not sure Paramount would want to share a movie for Prime streaming distribution. Something done as an animated cross-over, that gets some theatrical push, especially in global markets, might make sense.
We need to trick Mattel into making Greyskull and Snake Mountain themed holiday wrapping paper. Like wrapping paper where the graphic is continuous green or purple cyclopian masonry. Then we buy the shit out of it to glue to our own cardboard playsets and dioramas.
>>11870519This is good.Also, dian in palace guard uniform core and chronicles figures and a new origins palace guard double deluxe set with a male and female figure in the box (and a gun).
>>11869646Yeah, no. Not happening.
>>11870518Animated would honestly be preferable. Use it as a bounding board for a new Superman cartoon for all I care, just keep the core bullet points of the original story in check. The bigger problem is finding worthwhile talent for a project like this nowadays. Pickings are slim. Maybe the Tales from Eternia guys could do it justice?
>>11870415I wish the ones we got werent so expensive. Playmates got away with selling 4.5" tmnt figures for under 10 bucks over the last twenty years. What I want is a 5.5. equivalent to that. I really miss unbranded cheap action figure sets man.
>>11870523Wood bury my sword of power so deep that whoever held it aloft after would have fabulous powers revealed to them
>>11870523Honestly I’d fuck them both
>>11870247Probably repacked with the previous version
>>11870543*berry
>>11870564I hate iPhones
>>11870566yeah I'm not a fan either
Do you think they'll get a new actor for Skeletor?
>>11870597No.
>>11870597Nice thing about a voice roll, we can get someone else and be fine.
>>11870597Hope not, I actually like Jared Leto in this one.
>>11869775>Mr Home Arcade?Of course!
>>11870357ah yeah thanksi usually shop around; BBTS has some good sales prices but the Masterverse Faker deluxe box was actually cheaper on ebay once I won an auction and the guy agreed to combine ship three things. Masterverse Zombie Keldor was cheaper on Amazon than anywhere else and so was 200x He-Man.Money's not really a restriction but I'd rather spend money on more figures than on postage or convenience, I see a lot of people overpay just because they won't wait a little while.
>>11870429Bought two Chronicles He-Man because second one has slightly different face print + harness emblem look, and for spare. Probably get "flight armor" >>11870443 if I don't have to buy sky sled to get. But a bunch of same?, not really no. >>11870597Yeppers - easy VA replacement.Sequel probably won't even start filming until 2028, if approved.
Finally kitbashed my movie heman. I am satisfied. Weird how he looks cross eyed in the pic but not in person.
Is Frogmonger worth it?
Scott is such a bitter faggot
>>11871282You're right, but what is he bitching about now?
>>11871207Went a little overboard taking off the wash now I have to swap boots.
>>11871309
>>11871309I'm not sure I understand what "wash" you mean, can you do a before and after diptych?
>>11871325All of hemans armor has a black wash. Here are the swapped boots with the wash.
>>11870048Poor Billy and Cap>who the fuck are all these people?!
Went to Mattel today with my daughter and I picked up a Teela.
>>11871334Alex Ross has a video on his YouTube explaining the characters in this painting. >>11871207>>11870048This came out great anon! Nice job!
>>11871331I'm an idiot but the ones you think you need to swap look find to me as do the 'black wash' originals.
>get retro style origins skeletor on ebay>listing image on the right very obviously does not match received item on the left>request return>seller throws a tantrum and makes up some bullshit about how I claimed he switched the heads>leave negative feedback>get this message hours before the window where I can ask ebay to step in:>"We now have two options : 1). I can accept the return request and then report you for misusing the Ebay return process and feedback systems. This is now both well documented and easily provable thanks to your actions. 2). You can cancel this now provably fraudulently constructed return request and we’ll see how charitable I feel… If you do not reply by 10 p.m. I will be forced to choose for you."Golly, he seems a little... desperate?
>>11871445Name? I’ll report the faggot too. I’m so fucking tired of this dumbass bullshit.
>>11871453ham_in_space
>>11866128How's the quality on the rubber clothing? My only hope is it deteriorates over time so I can get some glee over those who got one.>>11866879What's the best Mattel re-releases the other two along with this in a 3 pack. Again, another thing I wish for to see people piss and moan.
>>11871365>Alex Ross has a video on his YouTube explaining the characters in this painting. >>11871207I'm familiar with a surprising amount of them, I just love the expressions and poses Cap and Billy have which make them seem surprised to be suddenly surrounded by all these dramatically posing, brightly costumed beefcakes and babes.
>>11871455>>11871445Didn't know Patrick Tomlinson did MOTU resale
>>11871356What's the limit? Do I need to con someone into going with me or several someone's?
>>11871621Announce over the store PA system these three things:1. Pledge your allegiance to the Horde2. State that the Mantisaur is the best mode of transportation3. Call Skeletor, He-Man, and King Hiss losers
You know what probably played a major role in the movie failing? Shit like Game of Thrones tainting the fantasy genre so that it needs to be all violent and dark with anything that tries to be fun or actually fantastical being viewed as stupid by most modern audiences.Same mentality that fucked up the last Dungeons and Dragons movie.
>>11871356Based crystar enjoyer.
>>11871681The d&d movie bombed because d&d has become pozzed to absolute aids death. It didn’t help it had marvel humor as well.
>>11871356Does the lassie on the left glow in the dark?
>>11871681The simplest and most reasonable explanation is that there was very little interest in MOTU as an IP until general audiences heard that the movie was actually good and fun.
It doesn't help that movie honestly isn't funny enough to be that jokey. Not to shit on all gags but some of them feel like they just exist because too much time has passed without a joke."Sorceress who was kind and wise...and a little creepy. But she's cool, she's cool"Like come on, that was completely unearned. Even Filmation Sorceress was creepier than that version.I think the biggest issue was with all gags around Adam. He had a very strong general personally core and of course he had to be underwhelming as part of his story but troughout the movie they sacrificed too much of his personality for the sake of gags. Like the gag with him recognizing Dian as his bully and trying to reply before getting door slammed on him was enough, we didn't need him going "Dian, I think you accidentally locked the doors. Hello?" At some point he needs to prove why he's worthy to be the hero. He's supposed to be kind person, right? We could use more examples rather than being told that. We could see him only taking time from looking for sword to help someone. Maybe have a scene in office like Bob Parr had in Incredibles. Or they could make a bigger deal out of him convincing Roboto to join heroes maybe name her. Could be sweet as Roboto comments how lazy her name is and then sticks with it.
>>11871698Ain't that the truth, d&d is now synonymous with furfags, fat trannies, fat single women over 30, and every single flavor of autism under the sun.
Just got my first motu haul in!
>>11871621I am not entirely sure about the rules. The first time I went was a few weeks ago with my brother and they explained somethings to him. I’ll have to ask to be sure next time I go.•You must give them your phone number.•One transaction per day.I could not go back and get something else after receiving a discount.•Green stickers are 50% off ( see box in photo ) usually items on tables in center of the store.•White tags are 10% off, usually items on walls. •If you spend $50 you can get and item of the week for $10 more.•No refunds.>>11871631I don’t think the would frown upon this, everyone who worked there were really chill.>>11871684Thanks anon, I have to reread the comics. I have Warbow coming, he’s $18 right now.>>11871699Yup, Lady Death glows. I have the regular version too.
>>11871777It's a good, fun setting (especially for young children) that the general public had no idea existed. Which is Mattel's fault for only trying to get the public to notice once every two decades.
>>11871807do you like them anon?
>>11871826100% agreed. The lack of interest was not for a lack of merit on the IP's part.
>>11871872Love them! Of the one I've opened to far Clawful is my favourite. I really like the colors and sculpt. They are really satisfying to move and play with. Simple and strangely nostalgic. Brings me a lot of joy!Kinda wish I got the new greyskull to better color match my dio, but then if I get the talon fighter and point dread the tower wouldn't match.
>>11871807Jeez that's a load of stuff for a first timer!I'm starting with a lot of Masterverse/New Eternia stuff but everything else has just been variations on He-Man/Adam. I doubt I'll ever collect the other characters in 200x except for maybe Tri Klops.
>>11871883It was the lot of 13 figures for $150 i posted about the other thread. The vehicles were also only $10 each so im pretty pleased. Its only really skeletor and beastman I'm having to pay over retail for. The filmation cartoon is my first love so ill probably be done once I get them all. Don't really care for she-ra and the horde either.
>>11871784As a total casual to MOTU, don't agree with your and some of the other takes here, like the dust joke mentioned above. Would agree some stuff could be cut. All the roommate scenes, especially the crying at the Notebook could have been cut. Adam could have complained about the date with a co-worker.Some of what you are asking for, was done, like the HR conflict resolution scene.The prison motivational speech could have been a bit more like that and bit less of what we got.But casual normies who did see the movie (and largely their first, non-meme exposure to MOTU) and saw in theaters, like me, were already talking about Adam and David Corenswet's version of Superman as being similar - kinder, gentler (non-asshole/non-grim-dark) and in particular, not quippy hero.I would agree MOTU doesn't come off as an action comedy. The entire comic store scene and cops arrest wasn't that funny and could have been trimmed or re-written.The movie needed to be more "Free Guy" but instead gave "Ready Player One" - which both involved the same writer, with different directors. It could have been more "Honor Among Thieves" humor instead of Nee humor.Although to be honest, I'm a bit tired of talking about (or reading others complaints about) the movie, after the fact. It is what it is.If they do approve a sequel, they have no reason to replace Knight as director. He will still want to involve someone he's comfortable with like the Paranorman writer brought in for MOTU but the script won't have as many cooks or have gone through as many iterations.
>>11871681I've noticed that things like Game of Thrones have also plagued media by making people think the only way a story is good is if a ton of important characters die. I see this all the time and have friends who say "but nothing happened" if the movie/show doesn't kill off a major character in a shocking way.
>>11872042I blame Joss Whedon for that personally. A lot can be blamed on him actually.
>>11871877Did you make the dio or order it? Something like that is what I need on my desk for proper photo posting in here again.
>>11871631>Mantisaur no clue, no can state>Pledge allegiance Hordeno can do, very few clues, but no baddies>Call Sekletor ...thought it was universally agreed that skelly WAS a loser?>>11871825thanks, sorry, know you posted all this before but thought you were a different anon
I just got thr Art of He-man book. It was out of stock for awhile and got reissued so Inhad to get it for that amazing painter art. There are so many concepts I need to see as toys like the giant brain guy and military Heman and so much more goddamn. They had some really amazing designers.
>>11872371I hope they do the white color variant if they make him at all, but it's a very slim hope since the black variant seems to be the more prevalent art that floats aroundI just think it'd pop more. Horde is too oversaturated with red/black/gray to the point figures with that color just don't stand out or grab you like Leech or Dragstor do with their colors going against type. There's no white and gold horde member, so he'd really pop.The green variant would the second best option.
>>11872430>>11872371desperately want this and twobad in sketchbook series. if they can make that dogshit Spikor, they can do these.
>>11872441
Do you think Karg was named by Adam? Because unlike Trap Jaw or Goat Man his name doesn't mean anything. If not, what did Adam called him?"You're Hookor. I mean, I know it's not your real name but you know, you hook up with people."
Can anyone tell me if this is a bootleg. Looks like the DCUC 2-pack version that came with superman, but it comes with a sword and the hair/head looks off.
Ok, new TMNT crossover, everyone mutates into animal what should we get?He-Mane (lion)Man-Ant-ArrmsEelaOrcrow (alt. Orca)Skelesaur (dinosaur) (alt. bull called Skeletaur)Evil-LynxBeast Ham (boar)Crab Jaw
>>11872450The buck looks like a DC Universe by Mattel. In fact, I just picked up a WWE wrestler, wearing just jeans and no shirt to potentially use as a custom body without the head, from Target's reset, because it was only $7 and just realized the body is so rough (tight and janky) because it's probably this 12-15 year old mold without many updates!You are correct that the 2PK He-Man doesn't come with a sword but someone probably just gave him a spare?https://www.ebay.com/itm/178297525888The hair does look a bit lighter - more blond perhaps - in some photos but the face looks very close so I'd say it's the real thing, personally.https://www.ebay.com/itm/178297525888Those were the only listings I found unboxed and the other images on line weren't much different. I don't own this but have seen it in real life. Maybe someone else who owns it will post a picture?
>>11872433I want him too, but Sketchbook Series is a lost cause as far as I'm concerned. It's obviously just gonna be variant shit forever Horde Brain would be better served as a normal MC release or at this point maybe a BAF for the refresh if you want him at retail. About the only way they'd do it having him coast on the coat tails of 6 main cast members
>>11872465Godzilla is inevitable given how many crossovers he’s had (Marvel, DC, Power Rangers, Ninja Turtles, Sonic etc.).Expect He-Man in Godzilla-themed armor with Skeletor in Ghidorah-themed armor.
Sketchbook MAA better lead to Sketch Teela from the back of Multibot. Be a good, generic female warrior army builder with that helmet on.
>>11872470Thanks. I just won it in an auction, but something about the face seems off. Maybe its the lighting or the fact the hair is sitting so high on the head (I hear its a common issue). Thought i would ask. We'll see how bad it is when it arrives.
>>11872465HorsedakBear Glow
>>11872219I ordered it from amiami years ago. Think it was made by twelve world and was in the sale for ages. It was called the Unground Palace iirc.I put the stairs back in and finished building grayskull. Hope my he-man arrives soon.
