Now, if those 5 that just came out came packed in a Snske Mountain set, I'd be stoked. A nice set to build and Roboto and co to complement it? Great.
But they feel so pointless on their own.
And that's not shit talking the line before anyone gets defensive. Love the Battle Ram set, Wind Raider set, etc. And that's what I want, sets to build

>>9194127 >They can't even articulate what they like beyond 'It's awesome" I wish there was more fair and balanced discussion on both sides honestly.
There were a lot of things I hated, but there were quite a few things I enjoyed.
Overall, I would not want a second season, but I will at least finish watching part 2. But a lot of the chatter is so "pick a side, love it wholesale and be a shill or hate it wholesale and just seethe"
Both sides are exhausting.

Ninjas = Heroic Warriors
Garmadon = Skeletor
Green Ninja = cross between original Green Power Ranger and Prince Adam
Snakes as the second set of villains
Overlord = Hordak
Parallels kind of stop after that because it was renewed for like 8 more seasons.

>>9194058 >>9194151 This Scareglow was the only figure of the set that didn't feel like an improvement over a previous version. While it's obvious the head printing was going for the vintage toy look, the first Scareglow release was a bit better. Although I do somewhat prefer the darker purple.
I'd still recommend the original one for those who don't have it, so long as you can get it for no more than $20. Both of my previous ones are from 5 Below, the one my girlfriend found for me on the left has all red eyes with no yellow in them. Spooky.

I opened both the original Mega Scareglow figures because I'd found one, opened it, and when my girlfriend got me another a month later, his eyes were all red and he looked better. So I opened that one too, it was like a variant and I was excited.

>>9194376 If I had to guess, I'd say they'll do flocked and release it as a deluxe with an extra head to offset the cost.
And even if they release him as a standard and unflocked as a mass release, they'll turn around and do flocked anyway as a store exclusive.
Tl;Dr, flocked Moss Man will come regardless

Flocked is only half the battle. He's gotta smell like pine.

>>9194376 >>9194380 they have a lot of easy repaints and parts swaps up their sleeve. Ideally, this is something they're holding off on to keep the price of each wave low. Maybe if the line starts tanking they'll just do all cheap repaints.
Mossman will cost more than a deluxe if flocked. Think online exclusive.

I'm curious but why is the Mega Construx line not more popular? Personal experience but they're what got me back into MOTU after dabbling in classics and then walking away. The detail and articulation at that scale is impressive, this little Man-E-Faces is the bees knees. I have a feeling the line is nearing its end, but these are great little toys.

Which still work for me, but that might be because I'm the one who searched it. In which case just go to that site's homepage, search for "Masters of the universe" and it should bring up a bunch of trademark listings, some of which are live, others are dead. Under the live ones it has the trademark ownership for both the production of the toys, and another for entertainment, including movies and televisions shows for broadcast and streaming. It was filed in 2019, so they probably renewed the trademark when they started pre-production on Revelation.

Let me help. Mattel provided source material to filmation. All the notes all the lore all the concepts that arrive from that creativity belong to mattel. Weird riffs that filmation or the 200x did on their own do not belong to mattel. Kevin had a toy writer on the team that kept him in the clear from violating the IP of the other two shows. Sometimes mattel pays these people for certain characters like Orko. Based off of the orko toy sales this is needed and mattel will continue to do so no matter how much it pisses them off to have to pay a license to someone for something that should have been contracted to be mattels IP. But he man was just some bullshit a bunch of toy guys cobbled together really quickly so its no surprise a lot of the heavy lifting had to be carried by filmation. Mattel was a barbie company the he man shit was really lucky so no one really should be upset.

He's a bounty hunter. His gimmick is that those utility belt arms act as weapon storage and can unfurl to reveal hidden weapons, 2 small knives and some hidden grenades in the suction cups. If the belt arms don't look right (would be hard to do in toy form and make them look right) then they can just be a non articulated belt with weapon storage.

>>9194966 Hoo-boy. Orko is an odd duck, in that apparently, Filmation sold off the rights to the character to Mattel, either in 1985, or shortly thereafter. This can be seen clearly by observing the copyright notices on merchandise.
1983-85: When the character is alone, it is usually marked "TM & C 198x Filmation (Assosciates). All Rights Reserved." When in an ensemble, the mark changes to "ORKO and any distinctive liknesess are TM & C Filmation (Assosciates)." The best and most common example of this is the "Filmation" stamp on the underside of the Vintage figure.
1985/6-present: All trademark information on merchandise now reads "Mattel". With ONE notable exception...
2020: Bag clips from Monogram list "C Universal City Studios, LLC" on the reverse side. Later in the year, magnets from the same company list Mattel as the copyright holder once more. Make of it what you will.
But Mattel's hold on Orko ONLY covers Orko, and no other Trollan, or their homeworld, which are held by Universal, via their ownership of the Filmation library.
Anonymous
>>9195117 Can't they just make him a new race? Maybe that's Ork-0?
Also finally got to episode 4 in a group watch.
>> Orko used "Farewell, my friends" on Scare Glow >> Teela is only sad for a few seconds and gets mad at Evil-Lynn saying she should have gone to sleep forever with Scareglow what a bitch.
Other than that once you get past episode 1 it's slightly better. It's not great but it's fucking decent without Teela.

1-abandon castle because her dad is exiled
2-she tells andra shes doing bounty work to take care of her dad at home with the money
3-have her not try to bite at evilyn when orko dies
4-she can still be mad at adam in heaven, but tell him the world is in danger and she can hate that he never told her, both things can be communicated without being a bitch
4-thats fucking it, you dont really need a lot of more shifts than having her express to adam her disappointment without disregarding his sacrifice.

>>9195602 >abandon castle because her dad is exiled You could spare Randor in this scene by making it self-exile.
Like Duncan blames himself for failing as Man-at-Arms by not protecting his prince, so doesn't feel as though he deserves to remain in the King's service.

>>9195563 >I'm guessing she'll be in part 2? >Did the expressly say Ileena would be in the first 5 episodes? You know, I don't get how they even have the rights to use her. If Orko has to be the last Trollan due to IP rights, I'd think that would apply to all Filmation OCs.
Anyway, if they can use Ileena, I want Kittrina.

Thinking of Randor"s reaction in episode one, I think that proves that Adora does not exist in this continuity, by virtue of the fact that Duncan would already be dead for letting Hordak steal the baby.

Like if the CGI show had Lizard Man as a main character, for example. That'd be a pretty clear indicator they can use who thry want after making a toy

Quoted By:
>>9195765 >Bonding with Lyn would be platonic. That's what's great about their scenes. Orko's core personality trait was "wants to be friends with all good people." He even has a friendship with Gwildor in the newspaper comic, where that's Orko's reason for it and Gwildor's is the utilitarian "I want to learn about magic so I can come up with a Unified Field Theory."
Orko lived in a very black and white universe and his reactions to evil people were whatever the writer thought was childish and funny, whether saying "Skeletor? Let me at him!" and shadow boxing or gulping in fear like Scooby-Doo. Him expanding his selfless friendliness to someone with Evil in her name was great character development.

Masters of the Multiverse is a good read. It's just a shame Anti-Eternia and Anti-He-Man are garbage ideas. I like how they used the Classics figures as artistic reference for the New Adventures characters. That series had the potential to be something better and looks great in modern(ish) toy form for sure.
Anonymous
>>9196085 It’s a great story for the brand, in the sense that it re-establishes each dead show as part of a multiverse, especially using classics as reference like you mentioned. Hopefully the comic can be a movie template some day.
