>>10019932 I think Origins has peaked, personally. At least at retail. Almost everything that's been revealed or leaked sounds really disappointing or uninteresting. About the only thing that has me excited is Spikor.
Every hero is a variant or Hypno
Snakes all lost the gimmicks that made me want them in the first place
Besides Spikor, the only thing I'm currently wanting to buy is the Skeletons, but they're most likely not retail so they fall outside what I'm talking about. MC exclusives might be the only place we see anything hype for the next year

Did y'all know that the reason the "He-Man" toy line hit shelves in 1989 but The New Adventures of He-Man didn't air until 1990 is that Mattel tried to get Filmation to do the new line's cartoon but they went bankrupt first?

Oof. I thought Scheimer and Sutherland had made a system where they needed to sell a 65-episode cartoon each year to pay the employees and stay solvent and fumbled after Bravestarr. But Westinghouse bought them in 1981 and just randomly shut them down one day in 1989 as corporate housekeeping on the L'Oreal sale. Ouch.

>>10020769 They had pitched several series for '88, including a BraveStarr spinoff series called Bravo of the Prairie People (supposedly a pilot exists), and a younger-skewing show called Bugzburg. These weren't picked up mostly because no one wanted to pay for American animation when you could get the same/better results from studios sourcing all the labor from overseas. What's ironic is that supposedly Scheimer was about two weeks away from a decision to do the same (Filmation was the first studio to outsource when they tapped TMS to do the animation for Zorro when they were overbooked).

>>10021144 Careful, anon. That's how it starts. Next thing you know you're setting a reminder for when figures go on sale on Mattel's site. It's a slippery slope. Although I still don't really buy any who are "just a guy" unless they have an interesting theme, like Jitsu. But then, once you have Jitsu, you gotta get Fisto and it just kind of snowballs from there. Because if you have Fisto then you gotta get the horse. And the horse comes with a base plate that goes with the castle so you start considering whether you have room for it.
No regrets though.

>>10022969 The one thing that's pretty amazing about Classics is the solidly sharp sculpting and the amount of paint on the figures. It's like looking at old McFarlane figures, the amount of paint is really amazing compared to what we get today. Aside from that, some people like the aesthetics (they're kind of similar to vintage toys in that they're inhumanly bulky). And also the collection is massive, so if people have a ton of them, makes sense they'd want more.

>>10022149 That... is a very interesting development
The regular He-Man box art doesn't really go into his origin much, so it doesn't TECHNICALLY conflict with anything, but if they're meant to be in the same continuity then it's an even more drastic departure than we were expecting.

>>10022969 I've liked Masterverse from the outset (including the Revelation Skeletor it seems some people hated) but even though it drags MOTU into the contemporary action figure world there's a fit and finish to Classics that I'm not sure Masterverse has approached or ever will at its price point. Obviously minor stuff like mold marks or plastic flash are baked into any mass market production, but things like sharpness in sculpt and paint are where Classics consistently excelled give or take Mattel's QC. And even the appeals to modernity haven't been the smoothest in execution. The torso joints in Masterverse haven't been worth much at all for example, and other joints have been a little awkward to use (swappable hands are nice, but can we not get vertical hinges?) or have had odd tolerances. The ankle rockers seem slightly worse than in Origins, even.
I like Masterverse more than Classics and Origins both, but I can see how someone could look at Masterverse as a lateral move or even a downgrade from Classics. Masterverse has gotten better with time, but I don't think it'll ever be Classics 2.0 for the people that really like Classics.

>>10022969 Classics is sort of a "once you get them in hand you know" thing. The sculpting and detailing are great. The articulation is decent for the designs (adding double joints is not going to increase their range of motion, and other changes is going to affect the sculpt of the figure). But Classics also really felt like a real modern take on all the old toys- plus it expanded to include so many things the vintage toyline didn't do. Now, for a modern collector, they are too expensive to really justify collecting. I only paid over $100 once for any figure in my collection (the original Shadow Weaver).
Classics are more like the Origins toys. Once you get one or two, you generally end up liking them to collect some more- oh yeah, gotta get all the Horde, oh shit Snake Men, etc. But yeah, I do think it's more of a you had to be there thing, however, that did last 10 years.

>>10022996 Original NE He-Man only does have his axe in the art, and his viking helmet, so could technically be a sailor/viking (general) and eventually found the sword of power like in this BA incarnation. It did say he was essentially exploring Eternia, and his goal was to stop the forging of the Scimitar of Chaos, but it does mention he's the "most powerful man in the universe", which one would assume with attaining the sword.

>>10022969 I think Masterverse will need to build a bigger library before I definitively give it to one or the other. I tend to look at things on a toy by toy basis, and as of now, I can say none of the Masterverse He-Mans hold a candle to Classics He-Man...but that 40th anniversary Skeletor looks better to me than Classics Skeletor. Classics has a better Stinkor, Evil-lyn, Hordak...but Masterverse just put out what I consider a superior Beast Man and when that Two Bad comes out, I think it'll be better than Classics, so if they keep going in that direction, they might overcome Classics some day. They just haven't had the time to get there yet.

>>10023272 >I was thinking about the card art last night and it's just not sitting well with me So, while I like the figure, I will say that this is definitely something that caught my attention. I won't fault Mattel for this at all (because if they had expressive heads without at least a second head I'm sure people would be complaining about it), but they've opted for mostly neutral faces on all their figures, so how expressive the art is makes it look like a big difference in appearance. At least that's my take.

>>10023606 I went weird when I started MOTU mostly trough 200X and my general opinion was "look what a great job they did updating all those designs! Many of them were underwhelming and 200X let them achieve their full potential! It's a crime we'll never get to see Spikor, Extendar and few others! I'll never get over it!!!" and with time I got more interested in vintage, chilled down and decided that designs, while simpler and more repeative in e.g. body type, are still plenty charming and good as they are.
For example I can see how Clawful can be better as less than almost human with claws, shell and weird head, definitely thought that Rattlor is more memorable with buff body but Tung Lashor and Sssqueeze feel much better in their silier vintage designs.

>>10023737 It works ok, but it could be better with no additional parts. Got this pic from .org, and just look at this, it feels so dated. All those pegs into sockets could be replaced by balls, the arms, the upper torso, and lower neck and it would not only give them more range, but it would add to the customizability of these figures. Lower torso replacing the straight swivel with a ball could also give a bit of extra crunch and tilt as well. They've been using this kind of articulation since the original WWE Elites and DCUC, so I guess it's tried and true, but it could be improved quite a bit and make the figures a lot more expressive.

I've done this up to three times with a figure before (Jitsu comes to mind). If it were just a matter of one-and-done with each figure, well that would still be a lot of money spent, but... I literally can't be happy until I've got that close-to-perfect figure in hand. It really sucks, and the whole thing makes me REALLY fucking miserable...

From S1, I'd like to see the villains. Clawful, Blast-Attak, Whiplash, particularly because they all look unique in the show compared to usual. I'd also like Sorceress Teela from the good guy side, again because it's a really unique look to Teela. I'm sure once a NE Teela comes she'll have that classic with updates look, so no need for the regular Teela, for example. I'd also really like time-skip MAA with the cape and what not.

>>10028368 >Didn't we already get regular Teela? >>10028398 Well for Revelation I was referring to Sorceress Teela. For NE Teela I was just going by what they'll probably eventually do, which is use some old concepts for her (probably accentuate the snake motif now that I think about it) with extra bits on top of a more classic look, which is how other NE figures have been handled for the most part.
And yes we had the pre time skip Teela from Revelation, same as MAA, but that hardly excludes them from getting made in other iterations. I wouldn't be surprised if we were to get a NE of either, or maybe even CGI (I do wonder how deep they'll go with that subline, the uniqueness and lack of reusability of each character definitely might make them hesitate to make more).

What are the chances of Grizzlor ever getting a mass release?

>>10028572 >introducing the first ever Grizzlor stand-alone Origins figure The wording would imply there will be other stand-alone Origins Grizzlors.

>>10029221 Does he get to keep custody of Night Stalker? Or does it stay with the Evil Warriors because Jitsu was in prison?
Still neat that New Eternia even has a story going on, kinda feels like pre-Filmation MOTU all over again. Most collectors are probably gonna shove Jitsu behind Skeletor, though.

>>10029275 As a head cannon guy I truly think that exploring the lore, world's and possibilities of the entirety of the masters universe is just the only real way to continue and hopefully grow new fans. Maybe a person buys ne zodac or say any origins figure but knows jack about MOTU. Well the toy looks cool and the back story is exciting so I'll buy the toys and not even pay attention to origins or the old lore.
I want to see new stories and worlds.

Quoted By:
>>10029295 Makes sense, since even though this is basically NE Sun-Man in that he's so different from the Vintage, just like Pig-Head, it's still a Rulers of the Sun figure, just like I'd expect a Revelation figure's bio to reflect the Revelation version of the character.
About Jitsu, I've definitely given that some thought and ya, figured he'd start in a reverse grip and probably use it that way. His primary weapon is still probably his chopping right, so I assume he'd probably use his sword more defensively as well. Plus slashing quickly with the reverse grip if using the right hand defensively.
If we ever got more lore I'd love to hear about how he got the hand. His bio says "mistrusted as a thief", implying that he isn't actually one, but maybe he was punished like he was, like getting his hand cut off. So how he came across this golden hand and armor would be interesting. Maybe He-Man had some stuff from Gretori aboard his ship and outfitted Jitsu with them. Would definitely love to learn more.

I only bought the original Origins He-man and Skeletor, skipping Battle Armour and the new ones. That said, I'm wondering if I'm doing the right thing, especially as I got the NE ones and want NE Battle Armour He-man. Sell me on them, why do I need them?

>>10029622 Not immediately, but there's always gonna be a latecomer to the line, or a guy who gets a Grizzlor with bad QC, or a guy who just isn't paying attention and completely misses this weekend and finds out later he missed Grizzlor. Then theres also international fans that I'm not sure if they can buy from Mattel Creations? I'm almost positive I've seen international fans complaining that they're excluded from owning Grizzlor, but maybe I'm imagining that.

>>10029455 Haven't even thought on stridor, but I can see fisto and jitsu actually being a group that travels in search of adventure and justice. Maybe once they come across the battles of he man and skeletor they each choose a side and that what's divided them.
Somewhat related, haven't messed with my stridor yet, roton has been on my table for two weeks straight.

>>10029747 Remember that one Filmation episode about the dipshit kid who thought he'd be a cool guy if he joined the Evil Warriors, but then he completely pussied out?

He's Goat Man's apprentice until then.

This place functions if there are things to talk about. Only recent thing to talk about is Jitsu's allegiance in NE, but even then most don't seem to want to talk much lore, even when directly tied to toys.
Anonymous
>>10031076 A lot of the hype around Origins died when they started abandoning action features. Right now it's really low because the next wave doesn't have much going for it. Grizzlor is releasing today, but he's technically a rerelease, which limits the hype around him even if most people didn't get the first release. Masterverse should have more interest right now, but I think a lot of people are still reluctant to go in on that because the line's reputation was tarnished by a weak first year. Then the other thing is that summer ended so the board lost a bunch of underage posters. That's addition by subtraction.
Anonymous
>>10031224 The entire next year, even not taking features into account, seems really disappointing.
Almost every hero will be a variant of characters we already have
Almost every villain is a Snake, which is great if you like that faction for itself, but if you're more into Evil Warriors or Horde you're left out for the year or if you're main attraction to Snakes was the features that they're dropping, there's not much to keep you invested

>>10031241 >The entire next year, even not taking features into account, seems really disappointing. >Almost every hero will be a variant of characters we already have We don't know who the heroes will be for the Tung Lashor/Snake Armor Skeletor wave. We also don't know if the Mexican Amazon leaks are all the basics for the back half of the year or what. After all, there's no Snake Face leak.
So at minimum, we should be getting the likes of Hypno and someone like Sy-Klone, plus there could be a deluxe Heroic Warrior in the next pair (though I'd prefer DB Skelly/Blast Attak).

>>10031224 Well it's their loss for not getting into masterverse, but with origins mcx and cgi there is a line for everyone. It's disappointing to see the snakes get gimped for sure but it's not enough to make me quit. I will admit that fatigue has set in for me personally but shit I can only be at a state of constant hype for so long. Didn't factor in the kids as traffic as it seems this general is fairly well populated or atleast was. Idk, I'm just waiting to try to get grizzlor and hoping it's not the wun dar fiasco. I'm sure it'll pick back up over the weekend.

>>10031252 That's just making suppositions and what ifs though.
I'm looking solely at what was revealed and what was leaked. And among that we're only getting Mekaneck.
Once that changes, maybe it will spark some excitement, but right now, there isn't anything.
So maybe I'm exaggerating when I said "ALL next year", I probably should have just said "all upcoming waves"
Anonymous
>>10031257 >fatigue has set in for me Same. I'm honestly kind of ready for Origins to be done...and I don't mean that in a "I want the line cancelled way", I mean it in a "there's only like 2 heroes, 3 Horde and 5 Evil Warriors left that I want (possible new OCs notwithstanding), just release them so I can call it a day"

I'd love to get a Fright Zone or some Eternia Towers with relevant mini-figures who would be mostly new tooling next year, but I'd be happy with new vehicles that include low-cost figures like King Randor, Jitsu and Ninjor too.
