Thanks. Prime day deals on Amazon. Core Battle for Eternia playset, Chronicles, and 200x.
>>11915823Oh neat. My display is OP =)>>11914426Thanks. It's just a hard plastic one from Great Saiyaman Gohan. It's attached with a clear rubber band.Also got a Bashasaurus the otherday. My expectations were low after getting the Battleram, but this is fantastic. Really good copy to, complete with original stickers and only $15.
>>11915823Just waiting for them to finish 200x
>>11915856Prime deals are worse or exactly the same as they have been the past two weeks on 200x
>>11915934You are right I didn't really notice. I got Mer-Man and lost interest in that line.
>>11915881So the Skeletor behind the He-Man on the top is a Good Variant?
>>11915934On the 2026 stuff yes, on some of the older stuff no. But there's really nothing there.
Rate my squad.
These are the Dinosaurs I was talking about last night. Ordered them alongside chronicles Fisto/Ram Man, Tri-Klops, and the Battle for Eternia playset this morning.
>>11916004You mean in my head canon? Honestly I just liked having both he-man and skeletor in different scenarios since they are usually centre of each scene so I got multiple filmation ones.Crazy I only started collecting 3 months ago. Hope we get more CC figures, but im plugging gaps with origins for now.
>>11915856Decided to snag NE Anti Eternia He-Man. Thanks for the heads up.
>>11916402Who's in the cube?
>>11916548He-man. Although since that photo Mossman arrived so he's currently trying to help him escape.
Lookie there
I also got king hiss from ali express. He is perfect. I had a carded one I wanted go keep sealed so this is perfect for play. Came with everything and not qc issues.
>>11916290Running wild/10
>>11916587I like it but I do think it looks strange, almost like a knock off that got a cheap light up gimmick. >>11916652You should get the Turtles of GreySkull King Hiss figure, it's pretty fun to swap parts around between them.
>>11916893It's the face. The original just doesn't look like the jolly Skeletor we know and love either.
>>11916893They look like a missing link between MotU and NA
Is there anything to look forward to from NYCC? I have a gut feeling we'll just see all the same stuff we did at SDCC.
>>11917059Worse case we’ll see the prototypes of the renders we saw
>>11916407NTA but it is a great figure; got an Amazon Resale (slightly damaged package but otherwise complete) and that was still about $2 more than this prime day price.>>11916893>>11916652Enjoying the two Turtles/King Hiss deluxe figures I found at clearance. Those extra arms and bits ARE great fun.
>>11917085Got a better shot of that 200x head on that body? Any chance i could get you to put the 200x gear on it
>>11917059More of those new Origins, I'd imagine.
>>11917086It's Masterverse He-Ro, stripped of much of his gear, with the 200x head from the Samurai 200x (because I ended up with 2 of him) and in that picture, Hordak's armor. I think He-Ro is probably a bit broader for the actual 200x armor? And I think the actual 200x He-Man I own is still in his blister package? Parts of two rooms literally look like disaster areas because I was sick then very busy. So it's somewhere under open and sometimes only partially empty boxes.Happy to try the Samurai 200x gear on He-Ro because it's definitely handy?
>>11917059I know I sound like a broken record after 2-3 threads, but Mattel announcing a line of Accessory Packs is definitely at the top of my list: don't you want repaints of things like havoc staffs and swords of power for the holidays?
>>11916294Neato! I've been thinking a lot about monster mounts lately, might pick one up.>>11916587Badass.
>>11917177They'ed have my money as soon as it was announced>>11917093Yeah that's pretty much all Icexpect to see. They showcased a Batman from their new dc collector line today. Now I cant help but wonder if they're working on that MOTU × DC crossover we keep speculating over.
>>11916587Another thing I would love is an accessory pack with a variety of heads - someone is trying to get as much for just a bald zombie Keldor head as you pay for the entire box. Different eyes and 'skin' color for the skeleton bones would definitely be popular.
>>11917586Instead of a crossover my pipe dream is that they'd make a Warlord line on Origin bucks to go with Origins. It was literally made to be a clone of Heman. And Amethyst to go with Shera just because it'd be fitting. Give me the rest of PoP too Mattel!
got a shipping notice for mondo 200x teela already!
>>11917177>>11918466>double doubleI've bought enough origins for just their heads alone so the extra head pack would be especially welcome. I can't think of any weapons and accessories I want off the top of my head but I bet I'd still buy an accessory pack after seeing all the stuff in it.
Speaking of accessories...what would be the best way to get a copy of the bonus sword that came with CC He-Man?
>>11918466>>11918830Same, I'd buy a whole pack just if it included an actual proper vintage style MAA head
>>11918868>vintage style headsPLEASE. I love the classic Skeletor face, hate that you can only get it in rubber.
>>11918468Ideally Warlord would be a central character in this new crossover. Maybe he could somehow be involved in the DC heroes arrival on Eternia, that way we dont have to boom tube everybody in. It'd be nice if the comic tie-in were cooked up at the same time as the line itself too. Play the whole thing off as an extended Super Friends episode!
>>11917586>MOTU × DCI'd consider picking up an origins wonder woman
>>11919036Mattel would be stupid not to make this, so it probably won't happen
>>11918850I'm hunting for sword accessory weapons generally, not just for Origins sized characters or MOTU specifically, and has not noticed that difference with the hilt but I am pretty sure I haven't seen it. The least expensive current listing on eBay doesn't even have the right two swords and sealed packages are going for $60 or more. The basic sword is easy, faker has it, the vehicle and the cringer 2pk has it, so it's the unique hilt one that seems to be the "chase."
>>11919158It's based on the Sword of the Ancients from the cartoon Episode "Masks of Power" which itself is loosely based on a mini-comic. You're out of luck cause it's the only reason anyone wants that He-Man cause the Faker release is a more accurate/less expensive version. I don't know if they've reused the mold somewhere else but hopefully if we get a weapons pack it'll be there.
>>11918914>>11917586>MOTU × DCI'm curious about the new co-ceo being a Mattel guy will mean anything. They brought in two new people and it looks like they are consolidating the division that oversees DC (and other licensing) but also includes so much more, like the comics, the HP studio tours and Burbank studio tours plus loads more.Because the Barbie is important to WB, it will be a huge priority and I think the Mattel dude - unless he pissed off the leads or Gerwig or something like that, will play a role. I think this will bring attention to the toys even if it's not DIRECT c-suite office eyeballs.I'm not sure we can say anything but I do expect the collaboration to definitely happen, just not this year.>WarlordI think it will be more of a traditional collab, JL and MOTU. Warlord is too deep a dive and even normies have few clues about him.Originally, many were guessing that it felt like Gunn was leading to using the villain from Darwyn Cooke's New Frontier for his final movie of Gods & Monsters and I think Dino Island and dimension travel are not going to viewed as dirivitive of the MCU. I would love to see more animated DC stuff and a Tales From Eternis meets Tales From Skartaris set of episodes would be fun. Also easy to do, just make Skartaris a time displaced alternate dimension that existed alongside historic Preternia the same way the horde controlled planet does in modern time.But I would be shocked to see something like it even proposed in the industry trades within the next 3-4 years.
>>11916589Yeah, sorry bro. As every true fan will tell you, Blade and Saurod are canonically not vintage.
>>11916294I got confused again. The other Anon asked about dragons and I thought (and answered about cheaper Dinos). So when you wrote, I thought dragons! Those look like a good fit. What I have seen a more rubbery and more like background props than actually 'vehicles' for figures. I bought all three of these dinosaurs this spring, from multiple Ross locations (none had all three options, typical of the chain), when I had to hit an uncommon suburban area I otherwise never am at. But returned two for no real reason than I had bought too many things that month. I wish I had kept at least two now because I have not seen them again since, at that price.
>>11919633This true guys ? To me, doesnt seems so.I was thinking a four pack before but now I am thinking 2, 2 packs. Blade and Saurod then Gwildor and Karg
Is that big fancy Chronicles movie Roboto out yet?I want him.
>>11920147They only did an action feature core and a Walmart exclusive origins. There is another core version on the way in an Amazon exclusive 4 pack. Haven't heard of them doing a Chronicles one.
>>11920431This one is Walmart only? Crap. Haven't seen it anywhere yet.
>>11920442That one is (or was) on the Walmart.com site, but you can also find it at select WM stores which have the Hasbro/Mattel floor display. It has the GI Joe Classified Dire Tech figures and Masters of the WWE Universe new wave of figures (Battle Armor Cody Rhodes, Bow HBK, NWO Horde Hogan, Prince Bray Wyatt) and the Fright Zone Ring that has The Outsiders and a Two-Bad torso in fleshtone to combine the Outsiders just like the CC Two-Bad set.
>>11920456I haven't seen it at either of the two near me. Hm. Maybe for the holidays.....Or at Ross in a few months.
>>11920442Don't worry anon, theyll end up at DDs just like ToGs walmart exclusives. Went to a WM with the collector island an they were all shelfwarming along with Trapjaw dlx.
One nice anon is storytiming the art of He-man on /co/ >>155811425

>>11920442>Retro Play>Not 5poa/6poa>Current mobie designSo whats Retro Play than?
>>11920672I believe it means "yo my bad I meant to remove that layer before shipping the final packaging design."
>>11916893>Turtles of GreySkull King Hiss>pretty fun to swap parts
>>11920686you've sold me on it
>>11920468>>11920442Walmart is crap for collectors near me, of any line (MOTU, DC, Classifieds, Legends). Even stuff which is supposed to be a WM Exclusive can be a pain. And 30-80% of the time I order for delivery, they sub something else OR they cancel that part of the order. It was in sale on WM's site I just think I would prefer the Masterverse personally. >>11920672>whats Retro PlayWell, the two ToGS and the 200x Samurai in the same packaging swap parts with the Origins and CC?
>>11916589Well that kinda cool. Although still waiting on Rotar andTwistoid.>>11916893>Turtles of GreySkullThanks, but I'm trying to limit myself to vintage, so outside of cartoon collection I don't want to get any designs that aren't from the 80's.
My two auction wins arrived (combined shipping). I now have a good set of used/loose females with the NE Despara, OG Masterverse Teela (the one with the shield), NE Catra, and the MV Shadow Weaver and Fostra, at a great price of less than $12 a figure, shipped and taxed, so even better than typical Ross or DDs, but two of them were missing 2 + 1 accessory. I was planning to grab Catra and Despara so that's a 50% savings there and I was interested in Teela's accessories and definitely would have gotten the MV Shadow Weaver, so probably did well all around even if I paid a lot more for the other lot. Is Vykron valuable? His white fur is missing from the harness but otherwise, I did get all the pieces shown plus two other bodies, one of which is the MV He-Man, and the other is the Viking He-Man MV buck. The seller technically had Vykron displayed in all three forms.
Does anyone happen to know of a good Lion and elephant that would roughly fit originds so i can recreate this pic? >>155811455
>>11919972>This true guys ?Of course not., But that's what Mattel is running with apparently. Just like with Classics we're now at that point where the bullshitting and corporate copouts accumulate.
>>11919972>Karg?? But he never got a vintage?
>>11920815Likely, Mattel isn't lumping these three with vintage MOTU as they are planning on an entire 40th Origins movie line for 2027 and they'll be released under that. So these three, MaA, Teela, He-Man, Karg, Beastman, Evil Lyn, Skeletor, Shock Trooper, Sorceress, Deluxe Powered up Golden Skeletor, and a Comic Con exclusive three-pack with Lubic, Julie and Kevin but for them they'll use the core body bucks since they're Earthlings.
>>11921059>Origins movie line>DC origins line>still no heman transformer from Mattel despite leaksPLEASE mattel
>>11921098>>still no heman transformer from Mattel despite leaksAnon, were you in a coma in 2025?
>>11921152Should have been vehicles instead. Which transformer would you pair with which motu vehicles?
>>11920848Yeah, I am aware of that but seems like the new movie created a bit more appreciation for the chatacter and seeing that it is less likely to get an origins for that, with the anniversary for the old movie coming up, that would be a nice surprise to round out the other three. I figure its at least plausable and a neat idea.
>>11921152>>11921159>>11921098Feels like both parties involved dropped the ball at this point. The only collabs between the teo giants I've enjoyed have been the Hot Wheels and TF releases. It's been said before, but they really should have gone for a Beast Wars angle with the TFs on Eternia. You could repaint a bunch of the BW molds into the meteorbs and make some donut steels along the way. On the Mattel side, not going the pretender angle stunk too. The cosplay gimmick really didnt do it for me.
>>11921159I think rather than mash up a Transformers character with a MOTU vehicle, they should have done what Hasbro has done with other licensed collaborations and made up a non-canonical character. Make the Battle Ram transform into Eternia Prime or some shit. You just know people would have bitched about the vehicles not being in scale with their MOTU figues, though.
>>11921174No one cares what some AI bitch thinks.
>>11921184>You just know people would have bitched about the vehicles not being in scale with their MOTU figues, though.I mean it's not unthinkable. Motu vehicles are mostly single seaters with no canopy. If hasbro tried to make a Classified scale Starscream and made him an actual F-15 he'd be 4 and half feet tall.
>>11921174I'm a huge weeb and I would have loved to collect the Shogun Warrior Heman toys but GOD DAMN THE PRICE. I liked the Transformers crossovers which I know is rare but only really the TMNT one felt like a fully realized thing but I dont collect much TMNT so
>>11921174>>11921152I wanted Tigerhawk as Battlecat ever since 2010. Grygor Primal would be great too. All the animals really. I'm a BW fan and I am not familiar enough with the old vehicles to really think of anything else.
When are we getting Lizard Man?
>>11921190THIS
>>11921174I care what you think, AI bitch.
>>11920730>roughly fit originsHobby Lobby, Michael's and a few other places sell animals that are pretty much staction figures with 0POA and many are barely 2 to 4" in height. But they do make plastic animals that can probably support a 5.5" figure, you might need to buy one of those safari packages that have multiple animals
>>11921282I feel your pain. Far too often mattel orients these things towards deep pocketed collectors. I'd have snapped up those guys for as little as forty bucks a piece if themoption was on the table. Even if it meant less paint apps. >liked the Transformers crossovers which I know is rare but only really the TMNT one felt like a fully realized thing but I dont collect much TMNT soI also share this opinion. Really none of the other crossovers, save maybe WWE, have been as extensive or imaginative as turtles was. There was a real heart to turtles that's been absent from the rest. I was really hoping Thundercats would be able to match ToG but it sputtered out fast. For a franchise made to sell toys, nobody really seems keen on designing new digs for the Thundercats cast. The armor on those figures just looks so damn generic even now.>>11921283Some of the old vehicles have TF potential, especially if they designed them with origins compatibility in mind, like the attack track or sky sleds. However the beasts would just be the easier sell of the two. Especially since we've only gottrn stridor and the cats. >>11921360thanks fren
>>11921282>>11921409I would consider paying the premium for the Mondo but even that it's 24" inches, I don't see the value.Also, in all seriousness, what's wrong with Ice Skater Samurai He-Man as a Far East inspired alternative?
>>11921411The new 200X stuff just doesnt strike the same chord as the 2003 releases in my book. It's nice, but just not what I'm after. Plus the shoguns pull off double duty as jumbo machinders and MOTU figures. Gonna add this much to the conversation too since I'll never have a better chance.>In 2011, Funko tried getting a Shogun Warriors line off the ground called "Vinyl Invaders">The most they were able to do was Batman and Gene Simmons >Plans for a Skeletor invader were shown off but never realized
>>11921174Yeah that would've been pretty cool. I would've bought it.
>>11921283>beast wars battle catit's fucking brilliantmaybe they'll collab again one day
>>11921437>>11921451I got the primal Transformers blokees when if was 75% and I don't like TF so yes, these would be interesting depending on execution.But I also bought him >>11921152 for $12 for three of the accessories and the base buck.The base buck itself is different and useful for multiple reasons, including the white base even with the stupid crap attached to the arms. Actual boots make it more versatile.But you are all correct that the rest of the TF collab was mostly pointless cosplay.
>>11921360Seconded. The only bitch worth caring about.
Got my core he-man the way I finally want it with ram man's axe. Also secured my laser skeletor.
got my toys... I feel like this will be the last of my ordering from MC for a while>>11921152On the transformers side, we are supposed to get a vehicle transformer of some sort, according to leaks. Imagine an attak trak turning into an eternian styled Optimus prime.
>>11921190Seconded, AI slop posters need not apply. You're not welcome here.
So why do these kids toys get away with nipples on the torso but MOTU don't? Someone asked on a social media thread about the Mondo figures - in comparison to Mattel and no one seems to have an answer?
>>11922001Eternian humanoid males are more evolved and no longer have nipples, simple as
Is the waist on the 200X figures as flimsy and obvious and annoying as they look? Is it a dealbreaker?
>>11922001>marvelfalls under disney, they're allowed to do it because they have more money
>>11922043Only on some
>>11921411I want a giant robot Heman and he is neither giant nor a robot
Is it true Origins is over or is there still a chance they finish the original line all in Origins style?
>>11922197They showed at sdcc they are relaunching origins again next year you WILL buy stratos again
Whens that Chronicles Panthor coming out?
>>11922200Where did Mattel get all this money to have 3+ different MOTU lines, buy the DC license, buy the TMNT license and start up those respective liOh it's the Barbie movie isnt it?
>>11922220You forgot funding a terrible Hot Wheels movie.But yes, it was Barbie.
I went to an out of the way Walmart that had a Mattel/Hasbro collector display outside the toy aisle. I picked up Origins Roboto and the Fright Zone Wrestling Ring. It looks like Ross is getting another round of the Grizzlor/Bow/Whiplash/Shadow Weaver wave. Picked up Shadow Weaver and an inflatable Tyrannosaurus costume.
I saw the Ram Man wave at Walmart this morning. Which surprised me, because Walmart restocking He-Man is like...what? I noticed the He-Man in that wave has a solid vac-metalized cross on the chest instead of the gummi clear one.
Mondo's 1/12 200x Mer-Man is up for order. Timed Edition is $110, up from October 13th to October 23rd.
>>11922561The extra heads look fun and I am glad they didn't aim for more 'realistic' fur in anything but that doesn't look like more than $44.99-49.99 in value, notwithstanding the plastic/petroleum issues.
>>11922220AND the Barbie toyline. Mattel has infinite barbie money and that's why we profit with He-Movies even though they do mid at the box office.
>>11922873Amazon is still paying notwithstanding box office. Even if MGM made the movie, they still pay the rights holder something in streaming. >>11922556>solid vac-metalized crossFolks were commenting about this earlier this year and talking about "three" production runs or all sorts of nonsense. I know when I went to buy my second chronicles, I did look for a non-translucent one because I also wanted better eyebrows, but after a few weeks, I kept the one I found (which yes, I had purchased but not opened because the first time I had problems finding it at retail).
>>11922561I wonder how much the chest armor limits the ab crunch, I'm guessing it makes it completely useless, unless they did some crazy engineering.
>>11922543Not every store gets full waves or the same wave. I picked up a Legends BW (2 actually) for the great red-haired female head and because the catsuit is one of the easier female bodies to use for customs, and a MLS Warewolf, also for customs, and he was only $5.99. But that was from two different, nearby Ross stores and I have not seen either figure at another store in two weeks. I am looking forward to more movie MOTU toys being in clearance stores for the holidays.
And the vac metal is chipping in package. Neato.
>>11923024I saw some Rotons but I've already got 2. I've been waiting for core Battle Cat to get under $20 but Target seems to be holding onto them.
>>11921568I know it's being faithful to the source material but I wish the colors on 200x man-e-feelings was a little more vibrant.
mattel continues to be retarded
>>11923436>mfw
>>11923436No one is ever really gone
>>11923436Time to go on Ebay and pick up all the vintage vehicles they aren't going to remake...
>>11923072Yeah, the Rotans, like the Multidots, have essentially become peg-warmers even at Ross. The Rotans are actually a tiny bit less at the Target eBay storefront where you can get one shipped free for less than $13.The Battlecat you want is on a 25% off sale (plus the buy 1, get 50% off deal also applies) at Target, which is an online or in-store option.
>>1192343680's He-man is shit. Normalize 200x already
>>11922115Which ones?
>>11923541fuck off trolltard :)
>>11923541I don't know why 2000s kiddies are so full of resentment for their forebears. TMNT has the same problem.
>>11923541200x is just okay
Not motu, but dasin lion-o is out and didn't know where else to post. Not my pic, mine just shipped. From reviews he turned out good.
>>11923723Looks a similar height to the classics.
>>11923723I have him, he's great. Looks good with Chronicles for sure.
>>11923777Oh damn. If you have him do you have any height comparisons with figma or figuarts or even chronicles? I ordered late because cap planet and bravestarr were so small so won't have lion-o until end of the month.
>>11923723Yet another ugly Asian thigh swivel.
>>11923777Also if you have the motu mummra I'd be interested to see how they look together.>>11923795I like the way they cup the upper thigh into the lower part. Same with biceps. The straight cuts on Marvel Legends are jarring.
200x is genuinely the best piece of Motu media. It’s just an objective fact. I do respect the OG and plan on picking up the new build a figure waves tho. I feel the same way about tmnt btw. The og show is good but tmnt 2003 is the best of the bunch.
>>11923723I was really hoping he'd scale a little better with mondo which is the same size as masterverse. I mean it's not the worst, just makes him a little bit of a manlet. Oh well. I have him coming so I'm happy to hear he's at least a good figure. On second thought. I suppose he'll scale with chronicles a bit better.
>>11923817Isn't mondo non-scale? A bit like storm collectibles. Part of the reason I skipped as it seems more close to the mcfarlane/neca 7 inch size as opposed to legends or mattel.So far im really happy with how this lion-o looks. Dasin have defo stepped up their sculpt game. Hope this is a little more successful and we get more characters like they did for OPM, YYH and SD.
>>11923817Just to be clear I mean mondo's 200X line. Which is stated as 1/12 and specifically is the same scale as masterverse as you can see in my picture
I’m tapping out of mondo. These cost to much for any qc issues
>>11923436Why lie so blatantly? Is it terminal chutzpah?
>>11923866>I’m tapping out of mondo.Yeah this will happen with more collectors as the line continues.Clawful is pretty much perfect but the soft plastic on some of the other figs is worrying. Then again I'm mostly in for the Stactions. Repeating myself here but huge mistake on Mondo's part updating the released figures that were all basically shelfwarmers back in the day first instead of focusing on the unproduced characters.
>>11923868I watched pixeldan and in one if his interviews they backtracked on their promise to give us all vintage and said "up to the 87 movie figures" meaning we likely aren't getting them. Same for the giants which are now considered POG and not MOTU. Rotar and Twistoid are the only ones left, and they probably consider them novelty toys and not proper motu characters. This must be Mattels interpretation for them to make such a statement.
>>11923723he looks good but it sucks to know the rest of the team is doomed to super 7 hell, no way dasin will even make a mumm-ra
>>11923723I just really don't like the face.
>>11923777>Looks good with Chronicles for sure.Post pics
>>11923809>>>/co/
>>11923723I just really don't like the body
>>11923723Looks like a bad custom of this old ass figure.
>>11923809I applaud you for taking a stand with your stunning and brave opinion that literally nobody disagrees with, but at the end of the day 200x is a 6/10 show with a boring lead character.
>>11923027How'd they fuck that up?
>>11923809Yes yes, congratulations on preferring the media from your childhood to the version from someone else's, next you'll tell me Pokemon stopped being good right after you hit puberty.
>>11924219I’m 47
>>11924219Also Pokemon was always faggot shit. Digimon was better.
>>11924232Wrong
>>11924233I don’t want to sperg out about this in a Motu thread but no season or movie of Pokemon compares to digimon in terms of quality, stakes and emotional impact. Pokemon did for a time have the better games but that hasn’t been true in years.
>>11923809>>11924232>>11924237Lmao who let this emo kid in here?
>>11923785>>11924109All I've got for now.
>>11924237>>11924232Y'know I see this sentiment commonly expressed but as the years go on I've come to disagree with it. Digimon was another save-the-world shonen, Pokemon attempts to be a sort of fantasy sports anime where the hero is allowed to lose and it isn't treated as a matter of life and death when he does. It reflects that a journey to become the Very Best is not a straight shot to the summit and that all the potential in the world does not mean you never lose. The very source of mockery for the show, that Ash is a loser, elevates it, and that alone makes it more unique, if not necessarily better written.And of course even the worst mainline Pokemon game objectively gigamogs the best Digimon game just by virtue of better fundamental system mechanics. When there are big cash tournaments for digimon games that people can build a career on I'll entertain the notion there's real competition, but as it stands I'd sooner take Monster Rancher seriously than Digimon's schizophrenic design choices.Masters of the Universe.
>>11924256No bad, thanks
>>11924273>where the hero is allowed to lose and it isn't treated as a matter of life and death when he does.James was the hero in Pokemon?!Off-topic shit aside, anyone have Chronicles Evil-Lyn yet? I saw a few pics and the face looks off
>>11924332>James was the hero in Pokemon?!Hell yeah, the real championship was the friends we made along the way.
>>11923682You spelled 80s wrong
>>11924345I spelled 200x right. It's a decent show that's blown out of the water by other 2000s adaptations of 80s properties like TMNT '03 and Transformers Animated. Why are you sucking it off so hard? Do you just never watch better television?
>>11924256Thanks. This is great. Reviews have started popping up and he is a really good size.
>>11924427>Transformers Animated
>>11924479>animated >comic book not fooling me this time hasbro
Angela Anaconda x MotU when
>>11924656Bitch made my parents divorce
>>11924427For a property based on strongmen, monsters and swords, it's also appropriately an action cartoon compared to the non-violent kiddy 80's one
>>11924656Gonna cause permanent trauma to the Digimon boosters in here
>>11924722>>11924656
>>11924711>b-b-but my 6/10 is better than a 4/10I see now why anon redirected you to /co/.
>>11923748You know, looking at this one, it's interesting to note that the send (particularly the uppers arms and the torso proportion) look a bit better on the MV but the elbow joint looks better on the Classic. And the proportions, and at least to my eyes, the aesthetics, of the upper legs look better on the Classic. However, the face sculpt on the MV is superior, in my eyes, although I suspect many would view the Classics and like it as being closed to their nostalgia for the OG 2980s toys.Finally, there's the torso/waist issue, on both the practical - especially depending on how you would like to pose your figures - and the shelf appearance value.Give the decisions Mattel made with Chronicles and appears to be making with the upcoming DC Collectibles lines for next year, it's all really fascinating.
>>11924711That's not true at all. The 80's show pushed boundaries of what was allowed on children's television with plots involving Lovecraftian horrors, demons, and ritualistic child sacrifice. 200x was paint by numbers in comparison with weird grey shadows and an aesthetic that was "what if Todd Mcfarlane made He-man". A matter of fact Digimon was "what if Todd Mcfarlane made Pokémon". Maybe you just like Todd and wish Spawn had a better plot?
>>11924711I mean, if we're talking feats of strength, 200X has to beat "pushing the moon back into its correct orbit" and "closing a canyon by physically pulling the land back together," to say nothing of the Flash classic of "running around a lake so fast it creates a tornado that sucks up all the water."
>>11924802snakemen are so fucking cool dude
>>11925047Yep, I really wanted to win that auction lot but it went for $250+.
>>11924237Look, we all want to stick it in Renamon's pooper, but get over yourself.
The butthurt over anon pointing out digimon has a better story is hilarious.
>>11925685The fucking irony of this one btwLOL
My Target dropped the first wave of movie origins down to $6.60 so I cleaned them out. Thinking of repainting a Spikor into some evil tree man.
>>11925731>>11925733grow up loser, this is a motu thead
Managed to snag another cc he-man, man at arms and tri-klops. Going to try some kitbashes.
So is the 200x Cartoon Collection dead? I feel like just one more wave could have closed things out and finished off the core cast.
>>11925685No we really didnt.
>>11925733You don't understand what words mean
>>11925870Probably. Pretty annoying there were characters done for the 80's CC but not for the 200X CC and vice versa.
>>11925870yes, Just picked up the Sorceress at ROSS for $13. Didn't have money this week to grab Trap Jaw and Syclone as well. But yea, prepare to see a lot of 200x at ROSS and DDs for the next few months.
>>11925870maybe it'll get the vintage treatment and get the 1 figure a year as a creations exclusive if you're lucky
>>11924830>The 80's show pushed boundariesNo it didnt. Filmation was also paint by numbers, and featured scary characters and such just to fill in the same old madlib blanks every episode. Inbetween that was just the same family-friendly filler and recycled animation of cutting only ropes and "throwing things" as an attack
>>11925956Carful they’ll start insulting you for speaking the truth
>>11925685You have to kill yourself, dogfucker.
>>11925956>>11926022You literally didn't refute anything he said, you just said "nuh uh" and listed aspects of the show style you disliked without explaining how it failed to push boundaries. This is understandable if you weren't alive then and don't have the context of what boundaries were being pushed. A lot of late millennials seem to have problems with the breakfast question so they can't understand that things exist in the context of their time.
>>11926035I didn’t have breakfast wtf you talking about?
*Yawn* anyway I was going through my Marvel Legends baf parts and noticed I had Puff Adder's head. I think he'd look good on TMNT Mekaneck's body. Like a guy who joined the Snakemen or he was just always snakey. I also got Leatherhead, I'm going to get him a blue hoodie so he can fill in for Lizard Man.
Did the one anon who talked about editing the marvel humor out of the MOTU movie ever release his cut?
>>11926054Idk if you’re referring to me or not because I’m working on that and idk if I talked about it on here when I was drunk or not
>>11915823
>>11926057It probably was you. I look forward to the inevitable release of your cut.
>>11926037Maybe I should get another Reptilax and use his armor and weapons to snake Puff Adder up a bit. Also I need to find a belt for Yujiro.
>>11925736Yeah, I grabbed the Origins He-Man at that price, mostly for customizing. I wanted the Teela for her sword but they still wanted $20+ for her.>>11925953Somethings have never popped up. I'd like another Prince Adam or two but only for under $10. For customs and background NPCs. And I ended up ordering mine during a Wally's rollback. I also haven't seen either of the Mer-Man, or a few others >>11926037>>11926080I'm hoping those Turtles get cleared out more. I want the Rattlor and Ninjor from that collab, for customs + parts, as well as the Mek.Also have that Puff Adder head, I think?
>>11926080Try Necro-Conda's chest armor if you have him, the green won't match with the head but I feel like it would work with the shade of green on the hands, belt, and boots. Otherwise King Hiss Shredder has a harness and belt with a green shade that may match better to the head.
>>11925956They insulted him for speaking the truth.
>>11926035>without explaining how it failed to push boundariesIt's just another Filmation cartoon where violence is just non-violent things happening inbetween the reused animations. 2002 did all the pushing by presenting actual fights and efforts in animation
>>11924711>>11925956>>11926022>>11926134>>11926167You want I should explain the chart?
>>11926054its just going to be a silent film then?
>>11926211It’s surprising salvageable. The only issue I’m having is Randor. I’d rather him not die but if he has to I’d rather it happen by skeletor killing him on the bridge. As you can imagine that change requires altering the snake mountain fight. Doing my best with incorporating AI. For the most part it’s done. As an example of what I’ve done just imagine to opening without Adam’s voice over. It still ends with him freaking his date out with the story. Removing dialogue, cutting scenes short and if I need to I’ll use AI to alter dialogue and scenes.
>>11926054I'm using AI to replace every line with Skeletor laughing.
>>11923436As long as CC is still going I'm good.
>>11926218If you wants to remove Marvel shit why would you want to remove anemotion character death
>>11926288>>11926258>NYCC came and went>still no updates on Moghty Mastersis it joever?
>>11926302They have NEVER talked about them
With Vintage officially done, Im guessing these two will have the PoGS card backs and be MC exclusive. Or can they be shoehorned into the retail origins reboot next year?
>>11926302The little guys? Theres a second wave coming...eventually.
>>11926288>Ohhh, sorry, just got cancelled.Source?

The shoulderpad is attached to armor, articulated and can be removed, like with Man-At-Arms. Jaw can be removed too. Sorceress has is theory removable skirt but it will leave big holes in front and back of her uh, hips. Wings come off too.Sy-Klone has removable back ring and the belt. though it looks a bit off without the latter (there is nothing under it, it's just smooth).
>>11926546I would like this very much

Apologies for asking here, but I don't know where else to post. For the anon's who recieved the dasin Lion-O, do you have any Super7 figures and how do they scale? I'm considering getting Slithe if it looks like picrel since he's passable. We really need a Thundercats or Super7 thread.>>11926860Princess of Power
Toy snowman said there actually isn’t going to be that much Motu product in 27.
>>11926900All lies
>>11926909We’ve already seen 3 quarters worth of chronicles and the they just announced that vintage was “completed. Besides the origins relaunch and chronicles everything else is officially “on pause”. Mattel will also have dc and tmnt on shelves this year. It’s reasonable to assume they’ll go easy on Motu in 27 considering how crazy this year was with product because of the movie.

>>11926945If you watch his whole video - and I tend to scrub more often than not - he talks about the customs and mods he made and why he included them (e.g. snake MAA). I don't remember or FFWD through that part.>>11926946Snake Lives Matter
Picked up the 200x wave from Ross. Saw this S7 Thundertank for $230. Amazon dropped the price on core Skel-knights back down to $12 so I picked up more of them.
My MV Fisto came in, I wish Walmart would really let customers decide what they want a primo code applied on. If I had gotten the entire discount, I'd be more inclined to definitely keep him. I am only really here for the head sculpt and his sword, and think the buck of the New Eternia one - with the entire arm being die-cast - works better.But the NE head, even with the spare head, is kinda MEH.>>11927181>core Skel-knightsI want them for like $6
>NOTMINE
>>11927327>I want them for like $6I know. Can you believe last week Amazon wanted them for $21!
>>11927181Id flip my shit if I saw that in person. The sale price is pitiful but still, incredible what hits discounters nowadays. It'sprobably been noted already but dollar tree is selling cheapo MOTU plushies now.
>>11926945Mini comic lore.
>>11927329Definitively jealous, I limited myself to base He-man and base Skeletor.
>>11927521I saw one of the large (14" or so) Naruto Blokees kits, which retailed for $49 at that price on Ross. and then that store got a second box, ten or so days later, and I saw one at another store. I was hoping it would not sell and get pink tagged but when I checked on Thursday, the store with two had lost one. The large NECA masks of Beastmen all sold. It surprises me but supposedly people with money are shipping at Ross and Costco, if you believe the news sites.
>>11926917>they’ll go easy on MotuThey won't release movie product but they should still release Sketchbook Series. Chronicles will likely get 2 to 4 waves, the same way New Eternia, Revelations and the other MV figures were released in waves of three characters. So anywhere from potentially 6 to 12 Chronicles sized figures. They will probably do more things like the recent laser release in 2027.Just because they are busy with TMNT and DC, they should still release some products. The question is whether they will get to retail. Right now, for example, people are bitching that they can't find the second wave of K-Pop DH 6.5" figures in stores, after the most popular ones in the first wave sold really well.
>>11927619Whatever 2027 holds, I'll be really disappointed if we dont get 87' movie origins figures. At the very least just shell out sauroud, the skeletroopers, skeletor, and he-man
>>11927619>They won't release movie productOne per wave
>>11927329I still feel awful for missing out on that snow armor. That's the coolest Mondo figure I've seen
>>11927619>>11927952We know there are 4 waves officially. We know the first 3 and target will have panthor as an exclusive
I broke down today when I was hitting Ross, especially since I saved a lot at Target on the impact resistant case for my new phone so I left with Invisible Skeletor this time, since I don't see him at every Ross, just rarely, and they only had the one carded figure, Plus I need something to ride on the Panthor I bought. I need to find where I stuck that and I'll take photos. But I suppose this forces me to buy the translucent core skeletor now and fuck me if I have seen that in hand. Is he just an EE and Walmart exclusive?
>the movie was a disaster flop>origins rebooting with just the A-tier characters and BAFs>the vintage is now "complete" so Mattel can wash their hands of itit's over
>>11928181He's on Amazon for $10.
>>11928401The Translucent First One Core? Good to know, thanks. Apparently, some Targets do have it in stock, I've probably walked right by some and passed them by.I'm also due to hit Walmart but I'll probably wait till November, after I get my Toy Secret Santa assignment, since the better Targets are two cities, and next county over. Still my metro area, but at least an hour and several freeways.That's what I had to do to get the Camo He-Man, since he wasn't propping up in my metro area and I wanted to look at the harness and face in hand.>>11928270doom posting is trolling, sonthey must really miss you over at the Legends or NECA gensbut here's that (you) you're craving so BADLY
>>11928405This one right? He's actually the cheapest one. Currently.
>>11928270Yeah, it's not looking good, but it's not over. There's still money to be had. >>11928405>doom posting is trolling, sonMaking up rules on the spot is tight. Surely this will boost post counts.
>>11927957I really wish there was a site that lists every announced figure and when they'll be out. Like the TFWiki.
Overpriced at $11.99
>>11928546Time to conquer Greyskull with an army of unsold Ross Whiplashes.
>>11928442Yes, that one. I am a big fan of variants that aren't just basic repaints. Plus the only villains I have are all Masterverse sized.>>11928552You can also army build with Bow.
>>11928552It's sort of ironic that CC Whiplash languishes while the vintage style one came out in the wave that was hard to come by to begin with and never saw proper distribution
>>11925870The only other guy I wanted was best Fisto because of his biggest Fisto. The Snake Men, Armor, and Horde would be a stretch
>>11928636No love for Mekaneck, Stinkor or Two Bad?
I'm at a very interesting point with my MOTU collecting, The MONDO stuff is so good it makes the mattel stuff look like shit, so I avoid it, but the MONDO stuff is still over priced as hell so I also avoid it as well, so I end up getting nothing.
>>11928733So you just watch everyone else enjoy themselves, eh? At least you can settle for the Filmation episodes, for free on-line.
>>11928270It isn't but I am annoyed how they are handling it, again. I didn't care for the movie toys or 200X so this year has been pretty empty for me.I am wanting more Filmation CC figures. They still have more to do for 200X too.I also don't know why they won't make >>11926353 or the chameleon OC guy or others.Maybe I am biased, but I think they went a little too hard on the movie stuff. It is understandable, but they should have been working their other toylines in parallel to hook new customers instead of 100% movie. Actually, the movie would have been the perfect time to introduce the BAF line so people can buy the vintage figures and the movie figures. Instead they only got movie figures (and either He-Man or Skeletor re-releases that they rereleased 3 times already).
>>11928442>>11928401He's back up to $16.99 so I set a price alert.
>>11928680Stinkor if he came with his post transformation self, Fisto and Mekanek , Marzo and Disco Skeletor were my most wanted 200x. Actually they were the only ones I wanted and they didn't make any of them so lol.
I won another auction, so I added three more Masterverse villains, including dupes, but at least they either have accessories I want or something else useful:Tri-Klops and Kobra Khan, plus the stripper version of Evil-Lyn. I also got the New Eternia Mek. I know some of these have popped up at DDs and Ross but I haven't seen any in months and I had planned to get at least one of these from the BBTS sale if I didn't find it for less. With what I paid out in person yesterday at Ross and Target, plus two other (non-MOTU) auctions, I've blown several hundred plus on plastic crack in the past two days.
>>11927957>and target will have panthor as an exclusiveDo we know when that will be?
>>11929059First quarter 2027
>>11928680I didnt even want Man-E-Faces
>>11927957Thank you for the clarifications. >>11928509I thought the one site did that but I honestly don't use it for it? The one with the affiliate links?
>>11929139What site?
I can't remember if it was earlier in this thread or the last thread, but anyone that bought this - for MOTU - can you post (I couldn't find anything in the archive) any type of He-Man related character on this so I can get an idea. I know it's designed for a 7" McFarlane so I assume the 5.5 figures look a bit small but probably similar to one of the Origins on Battlecat? This definitely looks bigger than some of the vehicles, like Stridor, that I have seen in person. And thanks!
>>11929464It doesn't list announcements, apparently, until closer to actual retail, it looks like (in other words, when you can do an actual pre-order and thus why I mentioned 'affiliate links'): https://heman.org/toys/And I don't think that's what you - or if not you, this anon >>11928509The other site I wish were more complete and doesn't appear to list unreleasrd figures would be Action Figure 411. And even their pricing info can be off. Helpful but not 100% fully reliable.
>>11929610Damn that's cool, if I find one I'll pick it up and make some pictures for ya. From other images I've seen it looks like the midsection is plenty narrow enough for Origins dudes.
The Anti-Eternia MV/NE He-Man is only $14+ @ Amazon at the moment. Great figure, highly recommended if you want something other than Origins or Core.>>11928442>>11928401Macy's TRU came though, so I got him, and Teela with the alternate sword. They still have the first two Core movie waves for $10.99. Sadly, no Core Skele-Knights at this store.
6$ sale at target.
>>11915823I'm sure this gets asked a lot but WHAT THE HELL happened to masterverse battle armor skeletons price?! I really want a couple to display and they're 250+
>>11930158Awesome auto correct from Skeletor
>>11930158Anytime a MotU figure has a distribution problem scalpers snag them all up and drive up the price it seems.
I just read that the next wave of core figures are going to have a glow in the dark gimmick. Called Battle for Subternia, so I guess that's it for movie figures?
>>11930288We'll see; they just might be movie variants.That underground rebel base was in Subternia.Maybe we'll just get regular Evil-Lyn but with GITD staff and new He-Man and Trap Jaw.
>>11930267>>11930158>WHAT THE HELL happenedThere's a few weird ones. Like why is this over $100, often $150? I've only seen it sold for less in a LOT, where someone won several other things but still paid $80, the most recent time I was 'watching" I just want his swords and the heads, but even when you find listings for that, it's like $40-50Absurd
>>11929799Thanks - I had more time to search the archive now, so I found one, and it does look like it works. Surprisingly, it even looks like trying to use a 7" Masterverse figure might be too big?From the cape, this looks like Hordak Origins? Can someone confirm, please? I only have one Hordak and it's the New Eternia with the plastic wings, no cape.I've never seen any others - besides pictures or promo stills.AND yes, someone apparently customized the Death Metal Batcycle. It reads like whomever posted this picture in /toys/ also took it from someplace else - reddit?
>>11930397The pinned single jointed knee makes me think it's Classics.
>>11930397>>11930446I can confirm its classics hordak. I've seen people pair that cycle with origins and masterverse too however. Before I'm asked, I dont have the pics saved sorry.
>>11930288>double spikor mace handsgenius
>>11930158Any chance they'll rerelease him?
>>11930511Yep, those do look fun here: >>11930288Not just wrestling heads, too but those are cheap heads to grab/find. Legends and Classified heads swap well with Core so I assume they swap as well on Origins, but even the right Hasbro head will swap well on the Masterverse.The Tesla Core body I have no real use for since it's all paint and I just wanted her weapons but I am going to try the head on a few Marvel Legends body. I'm sure I can find some Camila Mendes fan on eBay to take 'Teela' on this Valkyrie body that I won't otherwise be able unload.
>>11930446>>11930508Thanks. I found another shitty picture in the toy archive. The person took a huge file and it's not even in fucking focus but here's a McFarlane 7" figure on it, I don't know the death metal figures well enough to know it it's that or a Spawn character. But it's obviously a McFart because it's got the long legs to make it a 7" figure, whereas the torso doesn't really stand up that much higher on the bike than Hordak does here>>11930397, even if the angle is different. I think a Masterverse figure would sit taller?I guess if I can find a cheap >>11929799 one, I'll get it to. It seems to be near MSRP when you find it, even on ebay, because shipping doubles the price even when someone is selling it for $15-17-$20. It's one of those things that would probably have been a great pickup on Target/Wally's clearance or Ross for $7.99 - $13.99.
I had a dream that they made a blue translucent Faker that you could see robot parts inside. Like a terminator skull under his face.
>>11930511he can never scratch an itch
>>11930158>>11930155>the duality of your average MOTU fan: one loving the Blue Saviour, one suffering Skeletor Derangement Syndrome
>>11930698>translucent Faker >see robot parts inside
>>11930952Yeah. It was a mix of Roboto and Faker John Cena.
>>11931056What is that symbol on his harness supposed to stand for? >>11930700I'm sure Duncan came up with some gizmo to take care of that problem!>>11930518I wish they would re-release some of those but I doubt it. I wrote them a polite note last year about something and they very cheerfully but firmly said to me that it was always possible but that they had no news and to put the item on my wish list. Obviously, that particular thing fell off and you can't even find the page for it any longer!The page for the 2024 BA Skeletor seems to be long gone.Someone could probably kit-bash something similar with the skele-cons and claw?
>>11931118I don't know, I'm a wrestler tourist.
I found the Sketchbook Man At Arms today. He was mixed in with the Sketchbook Skeletors. I almost didn't see him.
>>11931473He's awesome. I wasn't really buying Origins when he came out and the regret I felt from passing on getting him on clearance at Target when I had the chance hooked me.
>>11931473>Sketchbook Man At ArmsA really interesting rifle/gun but like the MACE best.
>>11931473I found a 2021 NECA Flash Gordon at a Target I shop regularly - so I know it was not on the shelves before. It's not back in stock at their on-line site.I also found something else at a different store, that's 2025 holiday stock that was cleared out by NYE, so I wonder if a warehouse has been cleared out of a store or two closed and stock got redistributed? It can't all be backroom stock unless it was hidden away by some employee who since lost their job or something?
>>11931473>>11931489Jeez I was out of it last night. For some reason I thought you said Man-E-Faces not Man Ar Arms. Yeah, I lucked out and got the last one at my Target.
>>11931599I got the card back version of Zarak that way. If it's just one it was probably returned at checkout and never made it to the right space in the back because the person returning doesn't know where to put it. Also retail stores are under staffed because staffing is the only expense management has control over. A lot of time stuff will just sit in the back cause the employee in charge of it has too many other responsibilities and prioritizes whatever they are most likely to get chewed out for. When I worked at a grocery store the manager was obsessed with having us check/fill bottled water every hour but didn't care about frozen which generated 20 times as much revenue.
Eldor incoming.
At Target today.They also had one, lonely Sketchbook MAA.
>>11931724Meh, give me KEKlar
>>11931724Nice, feels like hes been teased for a long time. I hope we get Plasmar too. Also Pythonus. I wish Mattel went 'screw the sales numbers' and put Pythonus in the Snake Lair anyway.Speaking of, my Snake Lair arrived.>>11932087Yes, he should be sold too.
>>11931724>>11932087>>KEKler>Priest Pythonus, the other figure in the unachieved crowdfunding bonus tier abyss
>>11931118every time I see or hear duncan my mind goes to king randor because I'm thinking king duncan for god knows what reason>>11932330fuck this timeline I want more snakemen NOW
Is the gimmick on dragstor as bad as most videos suggest? It didn't even impress the two disorganized German dudes who review things in their horder murder closet. And they seem easily impressed.
>>11932478>Horde Murder ClosetNever heard of that playset.
>>11932330Considering they already sculpted the head for that four pack, Pythonus is probably the next CG exclusive after Eldor.
>>11932478Forgot this picture.>>11932499It's dimensionally displayed, like Despondos.
>>11932512So the idea is that the club membership guarantees you get something, by paying for it separately, but you might still get it, like the email for the two bad that's buying offered to us regular lackey's who don't pay?
What do you think they'll do next for the Sketchbook series?
>>11932703fingers crossed
>>11932703The girl with the metal boob plate and guy with the goggles from the box art we saw a while ago
>>11932707I'd hit it
>>11932703Which ones are we missing?Teela and Sorceress would be great! Maybe even a two pack of them would work.>>11932707This too!
>>11932118>Plasmar
>>11931056>>11931118Well it's not the symbol of the Skull King, who in those mini-comics, was the one that made that Cena version of Faker (and dang is that toy that rare?) so who the fuck knows?https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/heman/images/e/e1/WWEternia_wave_2_-_Faker_John_Cena_-_02.png
>>11932943Okay. I looked it up. It's a logo from when Cena was doing hip-hop as part of his persona. It's "Chain Gang for Life" or something.
>>11930899Jokes on you, I know nothing about he-man or skeletor. Just like the look
>>11932938So close, they really should release him and Strobo in Origins. Mattel celebrating vintage being complete was way too early. We still got plenty more to go. We didn't hear that bell ring yet.
>>11932977I kind of want the black harness and it's an innocuous enough logo that I don't care, but it looks easy to paint over. Butt he jorts on the legs look as stupid as Cena looks in them. And thanks for the info!
https://www.entertainmentearth.com/product/masters-of-the-universe-chronicles-2027-wave-1-action-figure-case-of-4/mtjkj22fEE's got preorder for the first 2027 wave of Chronicles. 1 each of Clawful and movie Mekaneck and 2 He-Man.
>>11933361Only packaged shot (and non-render) is of He-Man.
>>11933361https://www.entertainmentearth.com/product/masters-of-the-universe-origins-2027-wave-1-action-figure-case-of-4/mtjpm04aOrigins 2027 also up.More rendered pics in the individual listings.https://www.entertainmentearth.com/product/masters-of-the-universe-chronicles-2027-wave-1-clawful-action-figure/mtjpm91https://www.entertainmentearth.com/product/masters-of-the-universe-chronicles-2027-wave-1-mekaneck-action-figure/mtjpm89
>>11933369https://www.entertainmentearth.com/product/motu-origins-2027-wave-1-battle-armor-manatarms-figure/mtjpm07$24 for a figure that can't be placed in a sitting pose. Even toddler toys can do this basic pose.
>>11933391Origins figures are what they are. They don't seem keen on changing the formula, so they're kind of a take it or leave it kind of figure. If you want a figure that can sit there are other MOTU figures that mostly can (save with a loincloth that's too cumbersome).
>>11933391Yeah but it comes with a piece of a bigger figure that also can't sit. Sitting is overrated anyway! Who needs to be able to raise their legs 90° forward! Reclining is where it's at! It's what macho men like myself do all the time!
>>11933367Lovely, but wish both arms had armour
>>11933476Chronicles non-movie designs are embracing the unbalanced look quite a bit, especially for the heroes. Every single character aside from Mer-Man have similarly designed armor (at least based on early designs for Buzz-Off). Clawful gets the pass.
>>11933476>>11933503Yeah it’s fucking retarded. I hope the skin matches the movie heman.
>>11933394Clearly Mattel is phasing out the Origins line. They keep raising the price to where you might as well add a few dollars more and get a Chronicles figure. This reboot is nothing more than a half-assed attempt to convince Origins fans that they're making an effort to keep the line going. When it fails, they can say "we tried, but you didn't support our efforts, so the line has to end."
>>11933369>>11933391This is why I prefer mostly the core, and 200x that can be treated and posed with other lines even if that ever-so-important scale isn't there.I admit the body-part swapping is fun and I definitely appreciate that, but prefer the option to have both.
>shitters clogged
>no shield
>>11933506Idk about all that, I'm sure a lot of people love that specific aesthetic. I do too, but at this point I don't really enjoy handling the figures (outside of favorites), so I personally want to support Chronicles, but I'm sure many still prefer Origins.Either way, it's a good starting point for people that haven't previously been buying them, so both lines have a good start to products in 2027.
>>11933528>shield???>>11933517I wish they had made Core taller like the DC kids line.
>>11933391They can do a pretty good squatting to take a shit pose. Sitting to shit is overrated.>>11933569At San Diego he had a clear laser shield too. He-Man is missing his axe and that extra gauntlet too.
>>11933569>I wish they had made Core taller like the DC kids line.That'd be great. Since they don't fit the aesthetic with Origins, the complimentary size doesn't really do anything. If they were larger like Chronicles, they'd fit with them and could supplement that collection.The thing is, WWE and DC can afford figures like that because of the number of units being made, I doubt they could justify that for MOTU Core. I'm still eyeing that translucent Skeletor. Anyone know if that effect could fit on Chronicles's staff?
>>11933580For $24 they should include a shield, multiple weapons and a bucket for him to squat over, and some paint on that boring helmet.
>>11933580I see. I looked it up and they had the in packaged version of it in that display too but without the shield. Somebody's going to get a spanking for that blunder.
>>11933528This is a major downgrade from>>11933580>>11933587what are we even doing here anymore if we can’t get good fucking paint apps
>>11933581Origins should just become 6 inch figures at this point so they can’t fit everything else. Imagine 6 inch Motu figures for $12.99 with weapon racks.
>>11933569>>11933581>Core tallerI actually now have three of the DC Core (premiere or whatever the fuck they are technically called) and I hadn't noticed that they were different sizes. The MOTU core look good with Legends so I guessed they would look fine with the DC. But totally agreed if not. >>11933581>Anyone know if that effect could fit on Chronicles's staff?I don't have the Chronicles Skeletor and probably won't buy him but the translucent "Filmation" episode Origins accessories work with the translucent blue movie figure. Everything is a mess, including any space to take pictures but happy to shoot something for you later this week. I have Masterverse Skeletors, just no interest in the Chronicles for the villains. I'm not going to double dip.>>11933584Yeah, I am not that interested in MMA but if it was a character I was interested in, like He-Man, I would have been highly disappointed to pay the same price I paid for the Samurai or King Hiss or even the TF cross-over which had accessories in those 'deluxe' boxes.
>>11933524>cloggedI'm lostBut I won picrel in an auction with kobra and another figure I wanted so I wouldn't be getting him either but the actor/stunt man did a really great podcast interview and seems like a great guy to hang out with over a few beers.
>>11932478>Is the gimmick on dragstor as bad as most videos suggestYes. It is completely retarded. To unretard it (customize), add Lego rubber wheels to the side of his knees and elbows.Bonus points - throw the redesigned head as far away as you can and pop the Classics head on that thing.Better yet, get the Classics and forget about the new one completely. It's articulation is dated and Mattel didn't have enough money to give this premium collector's figure the character's most important feature,but it is a better proportioned, more aesthetically pleasing toy.
>>11933367I love how He-man turned out. I didnt expect to like him so much. >>11933361I usually like big monster dudes but I'm not feeling Clawful or Merman for some reason. Merman needed cool armour or something. Movie Mekanek is amazing and might be my favourite movie design for some reason I'm glad it turned out good. Not sure about weathering but its easy to remove.
>>11933673>actor/stunt man did a really great podcast interview and seems like a great guy to hang out with over a few beers.Do you have a link? Mekanek ended up being my favourite design in the whole movie for some reason. I liked him a lot in 200x too.
>>11933528>no BAF part
>>11933686Same. They focused too much on the Mer and not enough on the Man.
>>11933687>favourite designNot THE favorite, but one I really liked. I had to find it again, but it's actually pretty easy to search for, it's one of the first 10 replies. https://youtu.be/RQdsZ3hFYYc?si=P9j1aT4Iq8xEUXBE
>>11933673If we ever get a Filamation Mekanek, hoping they include articulated neck pieces like these instead of that dildo that came with the RR mekanek. I won't mind if it's basically a grey tube as long as it's articulated.
Wheres the new thread? New promo images are dropping.
>>11933694That’s actually mentioned in the product description
>>11933877I’m stoked for these but they need to bite the bullet and go 6.5 like their DC core line
>>11933877>>11933881So is BFS tied to the new Movie lore. The designs are very similar, minus the actors likeness.
Let 5.5 die with origins
>>11933886Nope it’s it own thing. Subeternia in the new movie universe is the hideout city Teela takes Adam to.
>>11933877>Thousand Yard Stare He-Man>Statue of Liberty Evil-Lyn>Proctology Exam Trap Jaw
>>11933881Not enough motu fans to support two 6.5 lines.
>>11933911That’s not true at all especially if the figures were still $12.99. The dc/wwe team really needs to be in charge of all of Mattel’s boys toys
>>11933909All bangers desu senpai
>>11933920$12.99 is too high for parents to randomly buy for their kids. DC kids line isn't really intended for kids. It's for poor adults.
>>11933923Are you poor?
>>11933923How poor are you anon? You clearly don’t have kids. Do you have a job? I’m a wagie that has 4 roommates but I still make enough to save around $250 a month while spending around $120 on toys a month. If $12.99 is too much for you then your shit is fucked even in this economy. I can get you a job at jersey mikes if you want bro.
>>11933928>>11933924Guys it's a extremely obvious troll stop falling for bait
>>11933877Probably need to hit 150/500 or close. >>11933881Likewise. But I think, to this point(?) >>11933887 that the Core carded are meant to replace Origins carded and something like Sketchbook Series or the Deluxe boxes of the Origins buck will become where you see that used.
>>11933885That face sculpt is insane I love it
>>11933924>>11933928I'm not saying $10 is too much for me. I'm saying that parents are more likely to spontaneously buy a toy for a kid if it's under $10. If it's higher than that, they tend to save the purchase for special occasions, like Birthdays. Mattel understands this, and since motu is primarily a kid's toy based on a kid's cartoon, it gets the price point that parents like.
>>11933877I see. I bet the next wave will have Scareglow.
>>11933877>>11933881>>11933883>>11933885I'm sorry WHAT line is this?
>>11934023Core.
>>11934028Cool, I hope kids like em.
>>11934023The core line anon. This is the first wave not related to the movie.
Imma keep it one hundred with you guys. I think core has the best offerings out of the three lines.
Pre-orders are up on BBTS for all 3 lines.
>>11933986I'm a lot more attached to that shade of blue for the skin. I know I could paint one and approximate but I would love to see a Faker in that shade. Actually, a translucent blue Faker like the movie Skeletor would be neat.
>>11933923>>11934001I had to wait for a sale to get one of the DC Core figures. I know have 3 but none of the retailed for less than $12.99 and some were retailing for $14.99. Yes, some of the 12" hard plastic multi pack boxes have already shown up at Ross but at a price no cheaper than Target or Amazon. I do suspect they be discounted for Black Friday and post holiday sales but none of the ones I wanted were really heavily peg-warming that I wanted to risk waiting on it like I did on the Teela and then had to search for the figure I wanted only to have to wait to find it - at full retail prices - months after the movie was on Amazon streaming.
I think I’m going to skip chronicles and go all in on core. So far only Mekaneck has my interest. Flight armor heman would be cool but I’m over the asymmetrical bullshit they have going on already. Clawful would be a good army building to go with an eventual classic looking clawful. On the flip side all the battle of subeternia figures knock it out of the park.
>>11934040I guess they were going for a closer likeness to the original toy with this one? Hope this means we get a Skeletor with the classic head as well.
>>11924256Thanks again anon for sharing. My dasin finally arrived today and the first thing I thought id try is modding a joint to use the ultimate heads. Funnily enough, out side of the head, the rest of the body scales pretty well with the super 7 figures which is great. Ill probably keep it like this. The posability is great! Wish we have 1/12 cartoon he-man figures this good.
>>11934230Go for it! The benefit of a cheaper line is guilt-free completionism. I got one of the DC Premier figures and while it's fun and all, I do want my figures to be a bit more fun to handle, so I'm going Chronicles, though these new Core figures do look fun. And also, if you do get into Chronicles at some point, there will always be another He-Man, MAA, Teela, etc, so if these ones aren't for you, maybe the next ones will be. Meanwhile I'm still annoyed that Scareglow never showed up where I am.
>>11934036I agree. If Mattel is smart they'll get as experimental with core as they are with chronicles. I'll probably pick up this whole GITD wave just for the gimmick but I wish He-man retained his vintage toy likeness.
>>11934139Can you imagine if they do an all GITD Faker? I would buy that day one.
>>11934310Yeah well unfortunately they've gone back to the mouth agape headThis relaunch really puzzles me, you look at He-Man's head and you think they'd be going for a more vintage accurate look, but then you see the harness, and they're making a battle armor Man-At-Arms for some reasonit's just all over the place
>>11934365I have a lot of He-Man but I also, in less than a year, ended up with a lot of Fakers or HM alternatives like Anti-Eternia. The Origins Faker is the only Origins figure (besides few TOG) that I am actively chasing down but want the one with the spare head shown on Mattel Creations, not the nearly identical single head sculpt version on BBTS.
>>11934525I would love to find a faker that doesn't have a very obviously miscolored torso piece
