>>10068553 >King Hiss revealed, retains most of the original gimmick It's still disingenuous to say this. It's part swapping, not a shed skin shell like the original vintage.
Anonymous
>>10068762 Unlike the other ones, I can't really see a way they could've done that and still keep his articulation, so his loss of gimmick I find probably the most understandable, plus I do like the fact that he no longer has limp noodles for arms with the disguise off.
Rattlor however is just unforgivable.
Anonymous
>>10068787 I agree. Rattlor and Kobra Khan both could have been done without losing any of the articulation and Rattlor could still have had a swappable head if the ball joint was just kept on the end of the neck piece. Even if they gimped his neck a little, woulda been better than nothing.

I'll probably still get Khan just because I need him for a full Evil Warrior roster, but I'll be skipping Rattlor and Mekaneck (and presumably Extendar when they get around to him).
If that Tung Lashor they showed also ends up being a removable tongue piece he's also going on the list.

I'm looking at a toy site and it says 4 new guys will come out in October, hopefully we see them locally. I definitely want a King Randor and a Whiplash. I don't care about the sun man guy or mini-comic color Trap-Jaw.

I actually foresaw these and other vintage items increasing in price when they announced the line with the SDCC Prince Adam origins figure and got an almost complete Castle Greyskull and Snake Mountain for under 75 bucks. That's also when I picked up a bunch of loose figures in lots for on avg. 3 to 5 bucks a piece. Sure enough after Origins started cranking out figures, now you can't even get a loose figure in poor condition for under 10 bucks on ebay.

my boy is finally coming. He's it. He's the one I've wanted ever since wave 1. The line could end after I get Mekaneck and I'll be happy.

If you're mostly interested in posing those figures then they are in fact, better than ever. Khan with water effect is better that regular spray and Snout Spout or Buzz Saw Hordak would be better with some attechments to you than with with actual working gimmicks, like plastic water stream that sticks to SS' trunk.
But, unlike Classics, most of people expected this to be modern update on vintage. And fact is that removing ripcord from Ripper is not an upgrade and it isn't even something that would really be a problem for "posers". So yes, I'll repeat, so much for this being new better vintage. It might be new DIFFERENT vintage because people might have different priorities and want different things but it's not straight up upgrade.

His armor, when it's finished, will look like pieces of a great statue of He-Ro that was destroyed at some point, likely by Skeletor or Hordak or whatever. Through the grief of the villagers and the magic of a resident Trollan wizard the pieces were imbued with a strong power. Some of Eternias greatest armorsmiths worked to complete a set of armor from the shattered pieces that would not only pay homage to the great He-Ro but would also help the protectors of Eternia for all time.

Mattel fucked up back in the day & signed things off. Scott's "they're losing it all in 2023" was always bullshit but between Creations exclusives & other nonsense, something fucked is going on. Mattel is doing dumb shit all of a sudden, as if they don't want to bother with retail anymore.

So, I'm cheap so I try to maximize my fun potential with these toys. I've taken a page out of the d&d rules cyclopedia book and I've got devised an NPC character sheet for each character to keep track of stats/weapons/armor/items/etc, 3 characters to a page is pretty efficient.

First match of the season will be a classic Grayskull vs Snake Mountain Capture The Flag game so with Ram Man back the Heroes should win handily. Say what you will about how crappy he is in most situations his overpowered gear makes him an excellent tank and a really effective flag carrier.

>>10075409 This so much. $550 for this is fucking ridiculous. It should be $300 tops, and even then I feel like I'd be on the fence with it considering what it is. I am happy for the Origins line but the plastic (especially on the playsets) feels so goddamn cheap and weirdly textured. The way its painted feels lazy and rushed. The original Gray Skull was kind of a weird mess in some ways but it had a lot of soul and intrigue and plastic in the 80s just seemed so much sturdier and higher quality.
There is really nothing in the set worth shelling out $600 for and I am absolutely not getting it. I would rather spend my money on the new Lego Lion Knight's Castle, which is $400 -- still steep but somewhat justified given the quality of the brand, complexity of the build, and volume of the pieces. $600 for something like this is unconscionable.
I really hope it won't even get funded at this level and Mattel pulls it and reconsiders the price, but I know there's so many soulless fag consumers who will eat this shit up and shell out their goybux just to have this overpriced piece of shit collecting dust in their toy room.

Digitino's has kinda similar composition too, but at least Trap Jaw and Whiplash are in the foreground and Digitino looks like he's poised to fight them, rather than just "stand stoically in front, stick villains in background"

>>10076882 I wonder how difficult it would be to mod the old snake bodies with new snake arms and legs...

>>10076882 It has a gimmick though, swappable parts and multiple articulation. They would have been all deluxe figure if they had kept there gimmicks from vintage, like Snot Spot and Leech.

>>10076842 Pig Head is probably exception because he's non-diverse baddie. We'll have to see yet if Bolt Man will in unbeatable god-mode like Sun-Man and Digitino were.
My guess was that it's basically violent He-Man on Snake Man action and Bolty does some poison healing. I suspected 3 options.
1) Bolty will go with He-Man and heal him during battle
2) Bolt Man will heal He-Man after he gets defeated by Snakes and then He-Man will get Snake Armor for Round 2
3) Snakes attack people and Bolt Man will be just running medic tent treating civilians, royal guard and maybe even Heroic Masters while He-Man does actual fighting.
But last option seems unlikely now.

Most generally most toys are expected to have 2 gimmicks: accessories and articualation, former very rarely being skipped (Stratos for example)

Now that I got Whiplash on amazon I can quit origins until they make more horde or evil warriors. The only bad guy I missed is Ninjor but I don't feel like I missing too much but hey he does look cool but his aftermarket price is retarded.

>>10076230 I like him better out of package. I'll probably grab him cause he's so cute. I hate the tail though. I know it's just how the tails used to be, but I'd have preferred if it was straight out. I'd say with ball and sockets but no odds of that. Even better if some shakey sand could fit in the tail.

I know I was down on gimmicks/features earlier, but if TP He-Man doesn't do anything and has the increased deluxe price point just for the fucking blast effect for his fist, this is a bad portent.

>>10077100 My brother.
I'm going all in on Evil Warriors myself, I'm actually half afraid that they won't get around to giving me the full roster before the line ends.
I'm talking every vintage EW + the 4 Filmation guys + Goat Man and Pig Boy + Karg, Draego-Man, Gygor, those boxart teased OCs (frog, witch, cyclops, gladiator, skeletons), Skelcons, shit I even want Tank Top and Mandible Man from the concept art. What are the chances of thr line even lasting the required time to make all of them

>>10077166 Very low. Just assume they won't make anyone beyong vintage and then be pleasantly surprised if they do.
Anonymous
>>10077175 I'm actually worried they won't even finish vintage.
Saurod and Twistoid are gonna be low priority and the rate Mattel goes + prioritizing easy retool, another 2 years for them to get to those guys seems like a looooong time

Quoted By:
>>10077259 Yeah....2 years seemed easy just recently but latest developments show more and more Mattel cheapening out and burning goodwill it had built...I would love if it at least ran that long, literally collapsed after last Wave with Gwildor and Zoids and whatnot but I can't be certain anymore...
But if anything, cutting out gimmicks and demanding ridiculous prices for their toys must be getting them some extra cash flow - assuming this stuff will sell. He-Man 4-pack still didn't run out, didn't it? So we'll have to see if Snake Men and Eternia playset will make money.
But if those greedy practices pay-off they just might wrap vintage, as long as you swallow every bit of corner cutting like Deluxes that don't really do anything and don't come with extra stuff.

This is all very confusing to me because I'm tend to be very zen about stuff ending because it's good for my OCD. No more waiting for next episode or toy, you've got full picture, you're done. So if stuff gets cancelled or gets a shortrun I just say "oh well, our journey ended". But if Origins dies say after Wave 12 then we're both done and not done. That's where my OCD will freak.

>>10076595 The majority of my Lego collection is 80s & 90s vintage sets of Castle, Space, and Pirates. There's a noticeable loss in the quality of the plastic used now, but the level of detail in the sets is much higher even if they use a lot of filler to bulk up the piece count. Lego as a brand is kind of unmatched, possibly the strongest toy brand ever created. That's what I'm referring to, mostly. They can get away with price gouging (although fans are starting to get fed up with it) but Mattel price gouging a static playset with a few basic features is unacceptable.

>>10076209 >>10076757 I had the vintage one as a kid but I was too afraid to play with its actual feature because I was afraid of loud popping sounds. This certainly looks cool and I'm a MOC collector so I shouldn't be too bothered with the loss of play features, but it's a really disturbing trend I'm seeing with the Origins line and it feels like they're cutting corners by skimping on play features.
Of course, I can see why a gunpowder cap feature would be too extreme for the pussified generation of 2022, it just sucks that that's the case.

>>10077385 I will need badly confirmation that this toy does something because if all it has is yellow effect piece? That's...fine. I get it. Except that it shouldn't be Deluxe! You might as well make Rattlor and Khan Deluxe because they come with plastic substitutes for gimmicks. It feels like making it Deluxe just because original was Deluxe.

>>10077435 >Randor selling out is at least a good thing for origins Yeah. You know, as much as I've grumbled and bitched the last couple of threads, I still kind of want Origins to be successful. As much I'm not personally willing to budge on some of these issues or lay down cash on any figure I'm not perfectly happy with, there's so many potential future figures that I'd still like to see happen that I'd hate for the line to die outright, even if I'm not personally happy with it right now

You should be more like 95% afraid than half afraid, because even Classics didn't do all those characters.

>>10077259 And the closer we'll get to finishing to finishing vintage the more it hurts when the line ends...Though I'd say we're already in pain category. I mean, if line died with Tri-Klops, Hordak, Stratos and Ninjor, that'd be sad but few would say "Dammit I was sure we're getting whole vintage, we were so close!" But now we're past that, this is pain threshold.
I wonder if there is next threshold where Mattel will keep the line alive just to finish the vintage. IDK. maybe if we'll be down to 10 figures but line isn't selling they're do another crowdfund like with Eternia.
Or maybe I'm overthinking and it will be order-to-make like Grizzlor.
On different note what 4 Filmation guys? There is Frozer, Fang Man, Strongarm, who's 4th?

>>10077426 I also just got my loot with Leech, Mantenna and Teela with Zoar.
I gotta say, I'm kinda disappointed with Mantenna. He's my favorite Horde member and while the four articulated legs are great, the sculpting on his chest piece is so soft and washed out. The vintage had crisp sculpting on the horde logo, heck, even Leech and Grizzlor have sharp detailed sculpting on their logos.
Also, the mouth is weird in that the paint app appears to blacken the "teeth" instead of the indented spaces between them. Though, I can easily correct that with some paint if I want to, it's still a disappointment.
Semi-related, did anyone else's Grizzlor come packed with Leech's instruction sheet in the minicomic?
