>>8813944I was the first anon to shill the news of Origins on this board, when Mattel revealed on twitter their convention exclusive set with He-Man and Prince Adam. I remember posting the news and people saying how ugly and low articulated they looked, and that they didn't think they'd buy them, because Classics already existed. And with each piece of news and new figures, people would say the figures were ugly and they didn't like them, etc., etc.
I sold my entire Classics collection at the news of the new line. I had most of the Evil Warriors and all the main cast of the Masters: He-Man, Prince Adam, Orko, Man-At-Arms, Teela, the Sorceress. I also had two Rotons, and Castle Grayskull. I gambled that Origins would remake all those things including a Castle Grayskull and that I'd get them cheaper and in a smaller more toy friendly scale, and I kept telling everyone else to do the same and sell their Classics and buy Origins.
