Which team will cross the finish line first in the race to vintage completion?
Heroic Warriors, Evil Warriors or Horde?
(Yes, Snakes have technically already won, but out of the remaining teams)

Yeah, isn't the first thing we learn about her that she's quitting her fried chicken job and moving across the US because everything in town is a PTSD trigger since her parents died in that plane crash?

Being a motu fan in her early 20s sucks so much bros

I love this series so much and have a ton of toys but it feels like I cant share my love of it with other people my age outside of shera. It feels like no one cares outside of skeletor memes

I dont understand it either. Motu is so dumb and fun and imaginative and creative. Like maybe Im just a dipshit but I dont understand why ppl just dont care or want the toys when theyre so fun and good and affordable

its always surprising seeing other 20 somethings in these threads. having been here since origins kicked off it seems like there's maybe 3 or 4 of us. meeting others with such specific shared interests has proven so thoroughly impossible that I dont even try anymore. I come to /motu/ specifically to socialize about masters because I cant do that anywhere else with anyone else. Masters' fall from grace really is depressing because, like you said, it is a line rife with imagination and fun. I honestly do consider it the ultimate toyline because of that. There's honestly nothing else like it, especially not nowadays. I really wish MOTU could get another day in the sun. But after nu-ra and rev it seems like wishing for that to come would just result in another monkey paw situation that further nails the franchise's coffin shut.

In a better world Filmation would have made good use of the toyline cast. In that perfect world I like to think Stinkor was portrayed as a sly and sneaky ratfink type. Beholden to Skeletor's every whim, but like a Starscream or a Swindle, also very self serving and independent. That's just my mind's eye interpretation of him though.

So they'll do some new sculpt which will look worse. Why they haven't issued it already though is beyond me OH RIGHT

That thing goes for $100+ on its own for some reason which is bullshit.

In a better world the animation quality from the Filmation toy commercial would have been what was used in the series proper. Sad fact is that cost a lot to animate for how short it was. Mattel was only willing to pay for so much for a full series.

There's some corporate mandate preventing that from happening... it has to be. It makes no sense stores are sitting on them like that. unless they're told to, which is weird because Mattel would have no say. Walmartt wouldn't be so stubborn when they get rid of so much other shit & Target following their lead is frankly bizarre.

Tangentially related to your post, but this is why when I see people say shit like "Barbie was a success, MotU should be next!"

No, because you have to crawl before you can walk.
Barbie has over 50 or 60 years of consistently being in the public consciousness and enjoying popularity and profitability, so it has the clout to get asses in seats on that alone.
Transformers had consistently been a toy store and cartoon staple for at least 20 years when they made their movie.
Superhero movies (both Marvel and DC) had decades of source material, and even when they dug deep with Guardians of the Galaxy or Aquaman, they set the stage with iconic characters like Spider-Man, X-Men and Batman to set the stage for them and spin off the hype of those to sell us on the more obscure heroes.

MotU, by comparison, vanished for 20 years...then vanished AGAIN for 20 years (Classics not being in the general publics consciousness so it doesn't count for the point I'm making), and now it's back again but is failing to connect in a really meaningful way with 1 cartoon that silently fizzled and another that only gets people chattering as a source of contention (whether it deserves it or not). That's not a solid base to toss a movie in theaters and expect it to succeed. It'll flop, waste money, and kill the franchise but good again.
Mattel needs to start small with a high quality cartoon or comic series that can actually achieve some longevity and sustained popularity before attempting to hit theaters. That way they'll at least have something to latch on to to generate hype other than "remember thing from 80s?" Because all people will remember is memes and if that's what you're gonna use as you basis of marketing, you might as well make it a parody and be done with it.

I've heard Skeletor isn't even in the movie plans because they want to set him up via Keldor first, so that's literally all public interest gone.

>going for the keldor origin in the gorillion dollar movie
holy fuck that's such a bad idea it hurts. ans that much is coming from a fan of the keldor origin. really all a solid MOTU movie has to be is a big budget version of the filmation series with as many cameos from the toys as possible. dial up the violence a bit and you'd have a whole generation by the balls. but they're going to get bogged down in redesigning heman and telling skeletor's origin etc and it will all fall apart.

TRU never moved past Lyn, though. And wave 9 was the latest we got. No wave 10 and nothing from the Snake rebranding.

Is it really a bad idea if you make it abundantly clear from the outset that Keldor will become Skeletor?
Like, what if it's a movie where they have Keldor secretly traveling back and forth between the Palace and Snake Mountain to make contact with Hordak offering him help invading Eternia in exchange for help getting into Grayskull or something? I think Hordak has the chops to carry the first movie and creation of Skeletor could tie directly into Adam earning his He-Man powers and defeating Hordak. Kinda parallel how CGI did Skeletor.
I think it still works if you craft it in a "we're just waiting and anticipating the transformation " kinda way instead of a "we're keeping it secret so it looks like a movie without Skeletor way to try and "surprise" you that Keldor is Skeletor"

It'll be like those GI Joe movies that were boring, wasted time on the villain origin & were a box office waste.

meh, the remaining vintage figures aren't as popular as what we've gotten already. I'd be sitting on pegs for months like wave 7 and stores will look at their computer and say they don't need to order new stuff we got plenty on pegs. If Mattel is putting them all on MC only, it means even online retailers aren't putting in orders, so MC will keep origins alive to at least finish out the original figures. Thankfully we still got Masterverse and the netflix show is keeping it retail relevant for now. And origins reissues are on Target and Walmart computer listings for next year.

Hearing the other 20 somethings in this thread talk about their experiences, I'm so disappointed in Mattel for not doing a Fortnite crossover. They did a fall guys crossover which may as well be a dead game, and the roblox He-Man game may as well have been shovelwear. Cryptoys is a scam that still hasn't implemented any of the features they promised.
Fortnite at least is in the same vein as "anything goes" that MOTU is. Maybe it's because Hasbro has the toy license, but it's THE game for kids to get exposed to He-Man. Roblox has it relegated to its own game mode you have to search for to even find.

I just think MOTU has such a fun aesthetic that feels like nothing else and I hate how it gets memed on all the time. I didn't even know how much technological stuff was in it until I found out about Roboto and the Wind Raider and shit, I thought it was all Frazetta style barbarian stuff.

Interesting. What fiction have you watched/read so far?

My rundown:

80s cartoon: dated animation and can be excessively juvenile (Filmation's Flash Gordon Season 1 and She-Ra both hold up better), but also some really worthwhile fantasy adventures like "Dragon's Gift".

Vintage mini-comics: run the gamut from "Frazetta barbarians with a couple techno vehicles" to more standard MotU with pretty interesting fantasy lore to utterly terrible (Leech, The Cosmic Key).

200X cartoon: the first time fiction was made for existing fans, it's absolutely packed with characters from the first 4 years of vintage toys + Snake Men, showcasing characters faster than Mattel could make them. Also tried to be more mature, but still not edgy.

200X comics: interesting, goes into the villain relationships more and occasionally used graphic violence (i.e. Icons of Evil: Trap Jaw).

2010s DC comic: the edgiest. One of the writers, Dan Abnett, was hired on the basis on his Warhammer 40K writing. Also notable for incorporating She-Ra with none of the good guys from her world.

Revelation: The 80s lore moved forward for modern adults... extremely divisive, but also short, if you want to form your own opinion.

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (2021): G rated fun, now an epic serial for the streaming era. Most of us here liked it much better than Revelation, but it's different from the other cartoons and comics in that the characters were redesigned, looking nothing like the toys you've collected.

Ignoring the political theater every piece of modern media is made with in mind, it still isn't very good, because it's made by an outsider who had a dismissive idea of the Filmation series and decided to "correct" it. It's not a total wash, but it's antithetical to the spirit of MOTU, be it the preexisting fiction or, more importantly, the toyline. The best thing about it is Mark Hamill occasionally channeling Vincent Price in his Skeletor performance, which was an inspired choice.

There's 0 things about it I like. I can't even say Scareglow was good. Roboto calling Teela sister was creepy. All the characters in that show were wasted, including Fisto most of all. I'd scream in Kevin's ear for that fisting joke if I could.
I've never gotten mad at a cartoon before but every time Teela opened her mouth to talk to Adam I was calling her out for being a massive bitch while on the rag. I would smack her across the face if she talked like that to me after giving my life to save her and everyone else.

Reminder that Kevin named his daughter HARLEY QUINN Smith and that she'll supposedly have a role in this tax write off trash.

OK, cool. CGI 2021 and 200X were both good in their own ways.
What's sad for me is that there's not enough fiction with the toy characters I'm drawn to... like all of Hordak's minions, Snout Spout, Extendar, Rio Blast, the movie creations...

Yeah, Hasbros Sunbow cartoons are infinitely more entertaining for what they're supposed to be. GIJoe especially. And I'm not saying that through nostalgia goggles because I quite literally only started watching the cartoon for the first time ever last month. I had no idea what I was missing out on

Right. Sunbow > Filmation across the board and GI Joe (or Jem for that matter) > Transformers. I know the latter has more fans these days, but Sunbow's version was just FULL of animation errors, maybe because the animators didn't know what to do with size-changing robots, unlike drawings of humans.

i think MotUs biggest issue is mattel itself ironically. Feels like mattel just continually does stupid shit that hurts motu more than anything

> Have terrible distribution continually that makes it difficult for people to get the toys in the first place
> Wont allow any of the new shows to have more than 20ish episodes (Spop had at least 50ish) CGI should have been way longer and revolution also should have been longer (its hurt badly by being so short it becomes a mess by cramming too much into it)
> Legal dumbfuckery that makes it so they cant use She-Ra or other stuff (listen i dont care what you all feel on the show, its really popular w people outside of her and the fact they cant capitalize off of it is a massive bag fumble)
> Just seems to have a lack of caring to actually push motu much generally lately

Like I want motu to get big but it feels like most the time mattel is praying that the ppl who are nostalgic for the 80s will carry things instead of making an actual effort to get NEW people into the brand. When they did w spop they couldnt even do anything w it cause of legal ownership of stuff or whatever.

Im hoping motu makes a rebound next in 2024 or something cause im terrified motu is gonna go silent again for a super long time cause mattel cant seem to figure out what to do

the she-ra pandora's box is more complex than that. they can use she-ra but none of the filmation additions like shadow weaver or cyber-hordak because dreamworks owns that by way of filmation. That's also why there's a live action She-Ra series in the works at amazon. For what its worth fans of the series always say the netflix show is popular but the only people who seem to discuss it are fans of that series.

otherwise I generally agree with you take. mattel has pretty infamously mistreated most of their boys brands though. in the last 16 years alone they had 4 seperate chances to bring back street sharks and capitalize on TMNT's haituses but every time they just didnt even bother. Then there's properties like Max Steel that had considerable built in followings abroad only to receive a less than stellar movie adaption that single handled put the entire franchise back under outside of south america all over again. The fact that they have film adaptions for toylines that havent so much as seen reissues is also a bad sign. I know about Matt Mason, Pulsar, and Big Jim but I guarantee nobody under the age of 50 knows anything about those three let alone their cast of characters. Then there's stuff like corporate politics to be considered when thinking about what they could adapt. People have been as desperate for a dino riders revival as they have been for street sharks, but mattel just hasnt bitten because they dont want to step on Universal's toes and lose out on the Jurassic license.

speaking of which I dont know how many anons payed attention to the release of the back in action three pack back in 2020, but even now I think a new toyline bridging the gap between these three and MOTU could prove interesting. It would atleast be admirable for being more than hasbro ever did with their plans for a shared universe. Pulsar and Big Jim already have gimmicks that feel right in line with the rest of MOTU as is.

I agree with most of this. He-Man needs a proper syndicated show on television for kids OR do a Cyberverse and put it all on youtube for free. There's a reason why CGI stuff rotted on shelves and died, the biggest reason though is that all MOTU fans are having their buying power divided at least 2 ways between origins and masterverse-and both lines need to meet the same sales requirements to stay green. Too late now.
It's fact that Mattel is greedy and cheap, and probably was happy to let Netflix pay the bill for their shows and hope to coast on nostalgia. Too bad it's becoming increasingly apparent that Mattel is still stupid too.
I'm not sure who else could handle MOTU. I don't want to say NECA or Super7 but Scott might be a little correct to recommend MOTU move to the collector wall of Targets and Walmarts where they have lower sales number requirements.
With all this in mind however, I don't see where the brand can really go from here once origins is done. We'll have had two 6-7"ish lines and one "remaster" of the vintage. Maybe in 5 years MOTU will get its own Barbie movie and we'll be back here looking for the Walmart exclusive movie-style Sorceress in the likeness of Margot Robbie.

This itself wouldn't even be a problem if PoP fans were willing to move past Filmation, but they're not - to a degree even worse than MotU fans. (at least most of the ones I've seen posting. They don't even want the toys to be anything less than 100% screen accurate)..
But if they WERE, Mattel could probably either fold her into the MotU story (maybe even just flat out make the series He-Man & She-Ra and treat them both as the main characters of MotU) or give her a new series with a new setting and new cast. Hell, even just make "the Rebellion" composed of late wave MotU guys who don't get enough love instead of "fashion dolls with different hair".
Replace Bow with Rio-Blast, Razz with Gwildor, etc.

Maybe my opinion doesn't count for much on the matter becausr I dislike PoP and I'm coming from a position of "what would it take to get me to actually give a shit about She-Ra?"
But hey, if She-Ra stuff actually is unpopular enough that it can't stand on its own or generate faith in Mattel, maybe that's the exact kind of attitude someone needs to approach She-Ra from

I completely agree, honestly ever since the right debacle came about I was really interested in seeing what a take on She-ra without the filmation additions would look like. Famously concept She-ra was closer to a magical Red Sonja than to Wonder Woman as she was in filmation. Not only that but sticking to the toy cast ontop of that would be really satisfying if done right. Ive made no secret of wanting to see a more arthurian take on the Prince Adam character and including Adora in that equation could really add to that. Would you change up her foes too or just have her face off against the toy versions of the horde? Im open to either idea really. She-ra against the snake-men would be cool.

y'know in nature fangs dont necessarily equate to carnivory or even omnivory. most of the time they're present in herbivores as a defense mechanism. gorillas are a great example of this because they only ever eat leaves and grasses. Panda bears, Hippos, and Boars (although sometimes omnivorous) are all good examples of this.

They'll never let go of the brand. But ideally you'd get a company like a JADA or Lanard to take over MOTU. The best comparison that can be made to where MOTU is now is with where Transformers and GiJOE were in the early 90s as they were getting handed off to kenner. Kenner was given carte blanche to do anything necessary to get both brands up and running again. In Transformers' case they literally went wild and it payed off. But Joe just got weirder and weirder as they hopped around from space to WW2 to superheroes and back to military themes before getting back to the Duke status quo. MOTU needs a happy compromise between those two extreme approaches. I feel like the companies I named could get that done.

Imagine a spin off of Origins that gets treated as its own new evergreen MOTU continuation. It plays largely off the Preternia concepts where vintage ended but revolves around a lost continent on eternia that allow for all kinds of new weird shit to be introduced. They could reuse parts from origins to keep costs low while affording to tool new creatures and characters too. You could introduce Gygor and 88' guys as main heroes and villains this way too. Anyways its just a thought

I wish Mark and the other MOTU guys had been allowed to do a pass on the PoP ladies. They worked with the concepts for the Horde that Filmation developed and the toys are brilliant, real grody horror stuff.

That said I'm not a good designer. I just sat down and looked at the characters "Okay so Netossa has a net. Gladiators sometimes used nets, so maybe she can be a gladiator? That fits in with the sword & sorcery style of MOTU". That kinda thing. Peekablue I had no idea what to do with so I just made her a blind martial arts monk like out of a 70s/80s Hong Kong action movie which really is just because of the "all-seeing" thing she had going a few times. Long shot.

>main foes are toyline Horde, but since it's Eternia she can regularly battle Evil Warriors and Snakes too
>I would retain two or three of the most popular PoP toyline characters just so existing fans don't think I'm COMPLETELY flushing everything down the toilet. I guess...Catra, Frosta and Bow?

I'd like to see MotU as more a generational thing and go back to some concepts before things were forced to change to nonsensical garbage.

Take He-Ro, the original Grayskull, and merge him with King Grayskull. Tell that story with him vs The Snake Men. Give him his own cast that is more Arthurian, less Barbarian. End it with humanity being put back to year 0.

Then go to He-man and the Green Goddess vs Skeletor the Demon. Scrap Keldor. Keep it Barbarian themed. Swords and Sorcery with minor tech

Finish up with Dare vs The Horde in Space Adventures. Shove all the space shit here.

Or you could do something based on Vykron, having a Barbarian arc, a Military arc and a Space arc.

Does nothing for me.
Maybe if she was kidnapped when they were 10, it might hit with me more because now Adam has memories of his missing sister and not just haves her sprung out of nowhere. Plus then the "mind control" angle they went with makes more sense. They had to mind wipe her to make her forget her family and make her loyal because she actually know where she came from otherwise.

But again, that is also a thing heavily tied to Filmation, and the idea here is to LIMIT Filmation influence to avoid rights bullshit so Mattel becomes more willing to incorporate She-Ra into their own fiction.

on the toy version of the horde, as much as I like the filmation version on a surface level, Id be lying if I didnt admit to be fanatically amused by the horde cropping up out of the bowels of eternia like a band of actual demons. It's certainly more fitting of the monster angle and the idea that these guys are not only natives but an expanding faction is genuinely threatening. Since we're paying so much respect to the concept works as is it would also give us an opportunity to make use of the haunted house/castle idea. Aside from giving it some frightening facade ala Grayskull I think it would prove neat to put the thing on wheels or treads. A mobile fortress hasnt been done in MOTU as far as I recall. Not to mention how bad ass a giant stone jack o lantern on tank treads woukd be.

Yeah seriously- I guess this disproves he was an Amazon exclusive? How the hell was he meant to be released when he doesn't belong to any specific wave?

Does Mossman even index on Brickseek? I went to four Walmarts last week and found nothing. Just the same old wave 7 pegwarmers if they even had a MOTU section at all. Two out of four didn't. I also saw three people that didn't even look like collectors beelining into the action figure aisle with empty carts. Maybe I'm being paranoid but I got the impression that they were scalpers looking for him, too.

This line has been such a shitshow thanks to Mattel being shit.

I post often about wanting PoP characters in Origins scale. I don't really care if they are 100% show accurate because I don't want 100% toy accurate either.
They fall into the same trap that NA does. I like the concepts but the vintage toys look out of place with Motu.
Maybe I am alone but I would be totally fine with a fresh look at all the PoP cast. A few threads ago I wrote up what I think New Eternia Bow should look like.

Snout Spout and Rio make more sense.

You can use them as POV characters and create new OC villains for the show.

>>Snout Spout is a cyborg elephant with a personality similar to Niles Crane from Fraiser; a prissy rich intellectual type who through bad luck, witnessed a space mafia assassination and had to go into witness protection. No angsts over being a norman man turned into a Horde abomination, just a prissy alien stuck on a backwoods planet with....

>>Rio Blast; a rookie space cop and older brother to Bow who became a space cop. Recommended taking Spout Sprout to Eternia to hide him after he testifies against the space mafia and hooks up with the Rebellion and his younger brother, who hates how his brother left him and his family to become a space cop. Gets injured and kidnapped by the Horde, who turn him into a cyborg but Bow/She-Ra/Spout Snout rescue him before he can have his mind wiped and turned into a Horde henchman.

With this, you can introduce the running plotline of the space mafia wanting Spout Snout dead, Bow's sibling rivalry with Rio and a love triangle with She-Ra, and Spout Snout as an audience surrogate to poke fun of the swords and sorcery and tech world of Eternia.

For me, hes just not "cartoony" enough.
Every other character has a soft harmlessness to them. Fangor is way to "srs bsns" in design to really gel with Origins. He fit perfectly into Classics, and has a kinda 200x vibe that he might fit in there, but if they were gonna adapt him to Origins, they really should've toned him down in more ways that just "slightly less detailed head sculpt".

If he's not cartoony enoug, wait for Mattels cartoon line so you can buy another version of He-Man and Skeletor.

Seriously though. This is pretty close to new OC and the initial reaction is to complain he doesnt come with a vehicle and that he doesn't look simple enough.

This was the same board whose consensus was that Kol Dar was boring and too simple to be fun. So here's a badass snake man with a detailed sculpt and now the problem is he doesnt look like Fang Man or something.

I went to another Walmart tonight and this is the most promising one yet. They actually had the sticker for Moss Man on the shelf. I asked a couple of employees about it and they said that it might just be there for prepping the spot and they might not actually be out yet... they probably just didn't want to check in the back.

I did pick up a Point Dread & Talon Fighter for only $20 there, so at least I didn't go home empty handed. The Walmart is 25 minutes away, probably more during rush hour, but I'm considering driving there every day until I get one.

Bros... Does this mean I just secured my bag or should I expect to be disappointed tomorrow? Here's what I did:

>went to the moss man item page at walmart dot com
>kept hitting refresh all day
>constantly out of stock
>decided to check stores near me
>ONE store said "available here" while the rest said unavaible
>shit brix
>5 in stock
>add 2 to cart
>checkout

Man, if this actually secures my order then I will be so fucking happy. This beats paying a scalper or driving to Walmarts randomly and hoping one just happens to be on the shelf.

I was pointing out the negative nitpicky attitude. Back on April 1st when the pic of the prototype leaked people were hyped. Now he's here and then first reactions were to complain. It really does feel like Mattel can do no right with fans.
As for Kol Dar, when I said he was one of my favorites during those end of the year type lists, the vibe based on the replies was that people didn't like him because he was too simple and plain looking. I love him because he looks like he could have fit into an early wave of vintage Motu or be a well made Galaxy Warrior.
>>10553952
Make up your own head canon for him. To me he seems like the type who would try to hot wire the other team's vehicles. Maybe I'm being influenced by Snake on the Simpsons but that's what my imagination tells me.

Honestly I think yesterday I was just annoyed by the reaction on here. Pixel Dan's video came as a surprise and I was 10/10 hyped for a 'new' character, not a repaint or half baked mini comics variant. And when the posts on here were pretty down on him it annoyed me. Of course we dont all have to agree. It just was a downer.

Hatred of the minicomics only started when the Snake waves started. Before that, yeah, we liked the comics. But with thr first Snake wave, they changed to a guy who just traces the action figures themselves for art, tells needlessly convoluted stories for their size, pulls shit out of his ass (macguffins and characters) in some attempt I guess to "enrich the lore", clutters things up with characters that don't need to be there.

The earlier comics weren't perfect by any means, but they also weren't consistently bad

They used to be good so there was hype. It was a new continuity for new toys that looked like it was building up to something as early as wave 3 when it teased Hordak. That did eventually give us a Horde invasion but the newer stuff has been colorful toilet paper recently. I love origins still but all the new stuff without gimmicks and copypaste art leaves a sour taste for me.

It's okay. I should have known this wasn't going to be that easy. I really wish Mattel was better with this line; my experience with collecting it has kind of soured me on MOTU as a whole. I go into Walmart and there's an endless supply of TMNT stuff everywhere, but 2 out of 5 Walmarts didn't even have MOTU set ups and the ones that did are all wave 7. A wave from two years ago that is probably the least exciting wave of any has been the only one you can find in any retailer for the past 2 years now. If that doesn't scream serious incompetence then I'm thinking that it is a willful scam. Collectors of origins should investigate and see if there's a class action lawsuit in any of this because something definitely stinks.

Because the originals relied on gimmicks that translated poorly or not at all for Origins. MOTUC got a pass for having no expectations of having them, with King Hiss managing to do it better. Origins though half-assed it. Hiss is actually worse than Classics because the arms are solid bent chunks that are also oversized.

Huh. John Erwin apparently isn't interested, Linda Gary and Lou Scheimer are deceased, Erika has zero credits since Bravestarr... doesn't seem like it could be anyone from Filmation, unless it's something as lame as "we can use Despara, and she'll have Melendy Britt's 80-year old voice".

Langella was hit with sexual harassment accusations, Mattel probably won't allow it. It's basically the same reason they won't license Dolph's face for the movie fig, they don't like his MAGA politics. Melendy Britt is also MAGA so count her out.

Erwin is probably too old & his voice is probably just about gone. It's amazing Oppenheimer can still do the work.

All I can say is that it should show up on pinpoint as a missed pick and that should lead to it being stocked. Idk if yr still doing pick up but that's the process as I understand it.

Probably a week before she goes on sale like with Fangor. She's out in September sometime.

Hopefully they take no break after Slither in releasing those new vintage guys and we get Sy-klone, Rokkon and Extendar sales in Oct, Nov and Dec
>but they said "Spring collection"
They probably wouldn't get them all shipped until March anyway, so the sooner they have the sales, the better

Anyone's interested in getting whole vintage on Masterverse? Lets ignore variants for now because we only have 2 BA He-Men.

We're doing pretty well with Heroic Warriors 18/25

Evil Warriors 15/20, even better 15/19 if you move Khan to snakes

Horde only 2/9, likely getting push soon

and Snake men 0/5, 0/6 with Khan

I know it's not exactly as sacred as getting vintage lineup in Origins but people are were complaining that we got too many repeating characters in New Eternia and Revolution reveals.

I got him! Found an extra one in the store that I'm offering to sell to a fellow collector for $40, which is slightly less than I paid for it after tax but in the past he has hooked me up with good deals on stuff at the toy store he works at so I figure he gets first offer.

Good stuff.
Just crop it a bit or do other simple edits like resize after a rotate. 4chan strips the metadata.
