What's your opinion on Mattel Creations Eternia?

>>10078658 >What's your opinion on Mattel Creations Eternia? Don't care for it. I want Snake Mountain and Fright Zone, but the line is pretty much dead for me anyway without functioning gimmicks for the figures.

Mekaneck and Roadripper/Groundripper are sold out at Walmart now. I'm assuming these are just mainline releases though. Hopefully it gets a wide release like Adam and Skysled. Kinda annoyed both have their gimmicks watered down (unless the ripper has a rev up motor) and they didn't have the decency to include an extra neck piece for Mekaneck to make it extended a little more.
Anonymous
>>10078683 The ball jointed neck is ugly and looks like a penis. The fact both the vehicle and the figure don't have their action features, especially on a line that claim to mimick faithfully the vintage line, makes them worthless. Mekaneck is one of favourites, but I'm not getting him without having his signature action feature and the chrome visor isn't enough to pursade me.

>>10078680 These recent announcements are bumming me out pretty bad too. I just want some fucking good news about Origins. Maybe Thunder Punch He-Man will make a cool clicking sound as a substitute for the blast caps?
I still think we should just spam their social media to opt for dx snake men, they can just include armor bits to make them look like 200X or something and those could be the "generals".

I think we are seeing the results of them pushing out to many figures at once. They are using the tooling budget to make as many new figures as they can and the result is that they have to leave out the gimmicks. Not sure why they are trying to push out so many figures at once. Is it to get out as many as they can before a rights issue? Is it to prove the line is viable? Or are they really just being cheap?

But now it's like everyone is disgruntled and Snakes aren't even here yet, plus with real world shit happening, are sales gonna tank next year and cause the line to end by 2024? And since there's noway they finish vintage in the next 12 months, it's a possibility.
Maybe we just need some really good news again to build up our hopes. I think Snake Mountain would do it. Or a figure or vehicle that will show that action features aren't 100% gone

>>10079940 Yeah, this will easily hit it's target. There are a shit-ton of vintage collectors that will be buying this to plug a hole in their collection.
Vintage collectors also use Origins to get passable armor, weapons, or stand ins for rare figures like Randor.
Also, hate to be a gloom n doomer but the oil price shenanigans happening in the real world are about to fuck the price of plastic hard straight in the ass with no lube; I predict no gimmicks will soon morph into no articulation as we head back into 5 POA truly "retro" figures as all toy companies are going to have to cut way back on everything and go back to the Bronze Age if they are going to survive the looming Toypocalypse on the horizon.
Hopefully I'm wrong and just being paranoid.

>>10080515 No, inflation calculators are tools used by poorfags to justify not getting something they want. There's a lot more factors than just comparing it to what it cost in the past. You wouldn't even want it to be made out of the same materials, the original ended up breaking too easily.
But it's at least $100 more than it should be regardless.
Anonymous
>>10080534 It's also not taking into account thst, from what I've heard, vintage Eternia lost the company money, since they pulled the plug at a point that not enough units were produced to breakeven. If it had been priced to breakeven for the number of units they made, it certainly would have cost more that 89 bucks, but Mattel was cutting their loses at the time. Alternately, to justify that price, they should've produced way more Eternias.
Saying current Eternia should only cost $243 implies that either 1)you want Mattel to sell 5000 units at a loss again or 2) you want Eternia mass produced and sold in quantities that justify the low price. If it's the latter, I'm gonna put it to you like this: how well do you genuinely believe Eternia would sell at mass retail, given its size?

>>10080515 >>10080534 Inflation is a good gauge, but only a gauge. For example, Marvel Legends(under Toy Biz) were about 12 USD a pop back in 2000, which puts them at 20.64 after the same calculator's used, right around the price it goes for now. Margins might have shifted behind the scenes, but the cost to a consumer is about the same. That said, same calc puts it at about $15.68 in 2011, not that I recall the price from then.
That said, this isn't a big-box store release, this is a 'print to demand' product, meaning the economy of scale is far, far different, this will probably have some sort of 'premium packaging' or other shipping consideration for the folks out there who demand ding-less cardboard, etc.
It's still a luxury good being sold to attract those who would rather pay 25-30% of the actual price of an original, with potentially better plastics, so yes, you are paying more than if it'd been pushed direct to Target or Walmart. You're also not having to hunt the thing down nor fight scalperscum for it.

I have never seen the Eternia playset in person but I'm guessing it's not made out of that stuff. Even so $500 is definitely going to give a lot of people sticker shock, but not if they already paid $300 for a Castle Grayskull redo.

>>10080618 Yep. They were $7 when ToyBiz started. They jumped to $9 for the last wave or two and then $12 when Hasbro took over. Hasbro barely distributed some really subpar product and it went on hiatus so they could push the 1:18 Marvel Universe. When they came back with those Heroscape platforms, they were $15 for awhile. The black box series that debuted with Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier was $20, where it stuck until right around the start of 2020 with I think the black costume F4 wave that was $21 or $22. Standard releases have jumped about $2 a year since with more "deluxe" releases priced even higher.

What's really weird if you want to talk inflation is how the retro toon color G1 Starscream they just solicited ($34) costs just barely over what the TRU exclusive G1 Starscream cost 20 years back around 2002 ($30).

2) you don't know what cost changes occurred nor are you trying to factor them in. Consider pic related You got a massive chunk of a baf, with a comic and several accessories for $10 even with inflation that doesn't pan out right. It doesn't mean we are getting scammed now so much as the market has changed either due to manufacturing worker costs changing, supply and parts changing or a diminishing demand.

>>10081381 I suppose so. The superstructure is the biggest and most complicated part and is basically a playset in and of itself, while the rest of the toy is more like a sandbox type play environment. The times when it was viable to actually stock a toy that big at retail are long gone though. And if Kenner had made a Star Destroyer that big, it would likely be much more expensive due to the fact that the Flagg is mostly big flat panels, and a Star Destroyer has a much more complicated shape. Not to mention that the deck of the FLAGG is a naturally compelling play surface, whereas a Star Destroyer would basically have to be opened up to have a viable play area inside.
The lower deck mod is something I'm sure a lot of guys who actually had the thing back then wish they could have had, especially since you can put wheels on it.
Anonymous
>>10081395 >has changed either due to manufacturing worker costs changing That was a big one, up until 2005(ish) companies were basically using slave labor meaning you were paying for the parts and shipping but a lot of the 3rd world countries being used had a massive swing of middle class changes and it demanded a need to actually pay the workers which caused a inflation spiral where companies had to factor in worker costs into what they sold so items that went for $10 were ticking up to $15 or $20 because of this issue.
>changing or a diminishing demand That's the big nail in the coffin, when you are making billions of figures that sell you can keep costs down but when it's hitting only hundreds of thousands or less you are not making up factory/worker costs as easily and will be losing money if the price isn't increased. It's why Super7's made to order stuff is as high as it is, they are not making cases of figures that are going to the 10,000 Walmarts, 2,000 Targets and 70k Amazon warehouse buildings worldwide. It's likely the same issue with Eternia.

Between the very-fine metal flake in the paint and the faint swirling in the shield and blue plastic, from a quick glance the new one looks like it just has a deeper pink.
I wish they did have some chrome on this Pig-Head, if only to match Creations Sun-Man and make this version stand out compared to regular, but that's just me being pedantic.
>I'm surprised Target free shipping is fast, I expected economy "we use live snails to haul your shit" speeds. It depends.

I have Space Sumo now. I don't care what Creations does with it. I'm guessing it & flat-top Sun-Man are also exclusive to this set otherwise. It's a good starter pack for the sub-brand, you get the canon version of the main hero(the flat top seems to be the version they mainly use), the main villain & an ally. Even digging into the unproduced characters, ROTS wasn't a large lineup anyway.
Though the wings are loose. I think they sculpted them to work with the other head holding it in place, the new head doesn't have the same chin shape & fails to put pressure on it. I would get replacement wings on Etsy but $13 for the wings $8 postage for a 2oz item? No. That's more than the cost of the figure on homemade parts.

And no, they're wrong, because not everyone buys every MOTU product. Some people collect Origins, some collect Masterverse, and others still collect only parts of either of those. If you want to buy both and everything within them, I don't see how it makes sense to complain that you're getting a lot because clearly that's what you want, and if money becomes an issue, just stop or narrow the focus. No one is being forced to buy anything.
And besides, for Dan specifically, each figure is also content for his channel, so those 25 figures are 25 different videos. I don't see any problem aside from people with self-control issues who feel like they need to buy everything.

As it is, I've only bought 1 figure from each of the last 2 waves and I'm only getting 1 again from the next wave. At that rate it's gonna take forever for me to get the guys I'm waiting on

I wont lie, there would some benefits to it. But not outweighted by flaws. People are already annoyed with Rulers of Sun taking spot in Waves, imagine how much hate would get every repaint of character variant. You're waiting for another Hordesman or Snake Man, you're getting flattop Sun-Man or Anti-Eternia Orko. It would only make some sense to me if they're closing the line and this is the way to finish vintage.

That's my right as a consumer anon. I'm not obligated to buy something at a price I'm not willing to pay. I bought origin greyskull at its msrp. I bought mcx snake mountain at its msrp. I wanted them and was willing to pay their costs at those price points. I don't want cgi greyskull enough to pay full price. If it is cheaper than it might be worth it to me.
Not sure why that's hard to understand

If it never goes on clearance I'm never buying it, simple as that.
You are more than welcome to buy every single piece of MOTU merch that gets released.

also your argument of don't buy things on clearance otherwise you won't be able to buy things on clearance is kinda stupid

I might still buy Roton at msrp if I ever see it because that's the one remaining vehicle I REALLY want, but after that, no more unless they're on discount.

If my enjoyment of the character is contingent on their working gimmick, I'm skipping. And if I'm skipping characters that otherwise would have been favs, I'm less willing to shell out characters that I'm less stoked on like I have in the past. There's still lots of stuff I still intend to buy, like I never cared about Two-Bad's feature, and Goat Man never had a feature in the first place being nonvintage, so I'll still be on board for them, but they've pretty much talked me out of buying any more Heroic Warriors. I'm out for Mekaneck, Extendar will likely follow suit, and I'm not 100% confident Rio Blast won't just have snap-on guns, and if it ends up I get none of those guys, why waste my cash on Rokkon, Moss Man or Gwildor when I don't like any of them as much as the before mentioned?
Whereas if those others DID have their gimmicks, I'd be more open to get the guys I like less just out of a sense of "eh, might as well get them to complete the roster"

My gripe is that the shoulder missiles look to be permanently closed. If they could open that'd be fun, but a removable part would have been nice. Also unless there's a groove in the cannon, he won't be able to shoulder it like in the art because of that protrusion.

And yeah he just looks like a blue he-man.
Although as much as he wrestled against being a skeletor in that comic calling him he-skeletor is kinda dumb.

There's probably more to the comic title that we can't see, but his comic was literally just called "FROG MONGER!" I'd be ok with that.

I'm still put off buying what we've seen of retail waves so far, but now I have Snake Mountain to look forward to, Frog Monger finally coming, hopefully we get official confirmation soon about the where and how of the Skeleton soldiers going on sale, and if the leaks about Spikor and Screeech end up being real, it's gonna be a good year after all.

>>10087896 >The faces on the inside were on the Classics remake. The vintage didn't have them. The vintage did have faces on the inside, there were at least 3 yelling demon faces inside ingenously designed by the sculptors. The Classics version payed homage to those vintage faces by including the pop on ones.

Is there room for improvement? Probably. It's literally an early prototype, but I notice the breakway wall for the jail cell escape is missing. But even then I still consider it an improvement to the original, which really WAS a whole lot of nothing on the inside.

>>10088614 I'm not familiar with how most crowd funding shit with stretch goals work
If they don't reach specific goals, what are odds of Grayskull, Keclar and the moat creature still finding alternate avenues for release? I mean, they took the time to sculpt them, might as well still get thrm out right?
Or would not reaching the goal means the figures never see the light of day?
Anonymous
>>10088625 Never.
This is best case scenario because I don't know who the fuck wants not-eldor and the weird rat thing. I don't see us reaching 10k either, hell I want this even less now that I know those are the stretch goals.

After literal decades of owning it, this is the first time I noticed.
