>>8774578I'd say Origins is worth it. I'm the opposite of most MOTU collectors, I grew up in the 90s, so I never watched He-Man or played with the toys growing up. I got into Classics when I started coming on /toy/ in '09 off of the wacky/cool character designs alone. I pretty much went all in (or as all-in as 20-something Canadian could without getting a sub to MattyCollector) on Classics, and when Origins was announced, I was eccstatic. I could finally revisit the original toys that inspired the Classics toys I loved so much, but with updated 2020 articulation and not 6poa 80s toys.
You're right, origins figures do have a lot of character. Even owning 100+ Classics figures, I'm still going all in on Origins.
But I can see how you think Classics look 'better'. The 4H sculpting is there in full effect, and it's quite a sight to behold despite there only being 8/9 different bucks. But to say Origins isn't really 'worth it' I think is a misstatement. Because then Classics isn't really 'worth it' in this day and age either. The Roboto in that pic is ~$60 loose now. The Man-E-Faces is ~$100 new. Compared to the recently released Origins Man-E at $15, I mean you're getting a better value with the Origins. Admittedly, I think Origins articulation is better than Classics as well.
