Something with a big gripping Clamp claw. The crappy design of the accessory makes it harder to use in play or posing, but if you turn him into a driver or pilot, he can still clamp and capture things without it being awkward.
Of course then people could just buy the vehicle and have someone else drive it, making Champ superfluous, but it's something

It would have a face like most Eternian vehicles and an asymmetrical clamp in front like a fiddler crab. Since the Clamp Champ figure comes with one clamp, it becomes symmetrical when you make him the pilot.
Could be a motorcycle or ATV, not necessarily a walker.

>>9201847 The problem with using the Teela body repeatedly vs the He-man body is that the Teela body has the clothes sculpted on, so you're forced to have all the women dress alike, whereas He-man has a removable harness, so you could reuse the buck but constantly change the armor for various looks.
They need a female buck that has as little detail as possible sculpted on to it, like a Barbie buck, that various harnesses or armor can be snapped to.
Either thst or resign yourself to "every lady gets a unique sculpted chest".
So to answer the question, I don't want the Teela body reused for anything besides Teela and Lyn.

Right, the Teela/Lyn leotard is covered with very distinctive designs.
Looking at Kittrina, you see she has a plain blue leotard that the big collar would have to go over like Tri-Klops' harness, which he needs in addition to his weird head to be distinct from He-Man.
She-Ra has plain hips without that "leaf" jewelry, so the remaining part of the puzzle is a plain torso that armor or other coverings can snap over.

>THE GOOD Adam & Skelly are big, beefy boys. Firmly in the7" range and it shows. The McFarlane Fortnite & DC figures look scrawny next to them. They come with a decent amount of accessories along with a spare set of hands. Skeletor comes with a cloth cape, which I prefer over stiff plastic ones. If you don't like the cape, you remove it by taking off Skelly's head and slipping it off the neck.

>>9202423 Here's team Skeletor. I do have the ol' NA version of Skelly on hand this time.
>THE BAD There's something wrong with the torso proportions of both figures, but it's especially notable on He-Man. The torso is just too long and thick. The excessive amount of fur loincloth doesn't help either, as it visually lengthens the torso.(Along with hampering the hip movement.) The lower ab section is just too wide, giving He-Man& Skeletor a sort of barrel chest look. Those abs needed to taper down to a thinner waist, which is what the original & 200x figures did and looked far better.
The upper diaphragm joint is weird. It can move back & forth, left to right, but it can't twist. You can attempt to twist it, but it "snaps" forward back into place. At first I thought this was a nod to the original spring waists, but my common sense told me it was the ball joint stressing from the twist movement, so I had better stop before I broke He-Man. Even so, it'shard not to put some twist pressure on the diaphragm joint when you're twisting the waist joint underneath. I can bet you some ham-hand is going to twist off that upper torso very easily.
Worst thing is the hip joints. They're terrible, especially on He-Man.The rod that comes out of the crotch and ends on a ball joint is very thin. A lot thinner than your standard ML figure has. That's not good for a thicc legged guy like He-Man. I get a lot of resistance from swinging his legs forward. Like the ball joint is going to twist off. Again, it could be because there's so damn much of his fur loincloth hindering the movement. Still, it's not a "good" feeling when moving the hips.
Skeletor's hips, on the other hand, have a much smoother movement to them. So maybe it's a QC thing with He-Man having some stray bit of plastic rubbing inside the ball joint. This is not the first time I've had such a problem with a figure, especially with Mattel's DC line.

Mekaneck has a twist action in the waist to extend the neck
Rattlor uses a spring load and push button for a "quick strike" gimmick.
Quite frankly, removable neck attachments or using Mekaneck's method of neck extension would ruin what makes Rattlor's gimmick fun in the first place. It's not about "long neck". It's about striking like a snake. If they don't do it right, just don't bother doing it at all and make him a basic figure, that's my opinion.

These still seem like high kid-appeal toys. If I were at Mattel, I'd tell the art team to eliminate all the "Retro play!" and "80s!" text from the packaging so little kids see them as for them like the ones coming out for the CGI cartoon.

do you think the revelations drama might ultimately be good for motu by all the news and drama articles floating around about it getting the word out to a wider group of lapsed fans that there's a lot of motu stuff out now?

Ram Ma'am sounds based. Like it wants to be a meme character. Can't wait for the image macros.

>>9204546 I'm basing this on next to nothing, just baseless supposition, but you know how the implication is that the characters it CGI show are all teens who share the Power of Greyskull to become their "Masters" forms?
Well, what if, in the same way King Greyskull is the precursor to He-man, and Veena is the precursor to Teela/Sorceress, Ram Ma'am is the Preternian precursor to Ram-man where he gets his power from? Presumably then There'd also be a preternian Man-at-arms equivalent

You also know they're going to reuse any new parts below the neck for Langella's Skelegod.
John Cypher's Man-At-Arms is basically the Filmation design recolored with falconing gloves instead of bracers.
And it'd be pretty weird if they did movie characters without investing in new tooling for Saurod, Blade and Gwildor.

Quoted By:
>>9204776 The weird thing is thst I was under the impression of "if we get anything, it'll be Saurod, Blade and Gwildor because they has vintage toys"
I always thought they were MORE likely thst movie He-man and Skeletor
And yet here we are.
Honestly, these last couple of days the leaks have blown me away. We're getting movie He-man and Skeletor, getting greyskull frog, getting a girl Mosquitor, getting Dylamug, Songstor, Flogg and Batros...Mattel is blowing my mind with unexpected shit. 2022 is shaping up to be incredibly based, I think

The Buzz-Off/Clawful/Whiplash trio has been solicited for Wave 7 or 8, right?

>>9204802 I wonder who her mom could be. I assume she would have taken her mom's name if she has Powers in the name, as opposed to Evelyn One, or something (though Faceless One obviously won't be that same one from Classics, since we saw his corpse, unless she just really doesn't care about him). But will she be a human, a sorceress, some magical entity, who knows. Would be interesting to know.

If buying future Origins figures totally online is there a point to waiting for a price drop on figures besides Skeletor and Heman or will they all pretty much sell out and itd be too risky to try to get cheaper?

Mantenna could be the best if he resembles the Classics toy with four legs, not vintage. If I got these 6, Leech, Shadow Weaver and Dylamug, I'd feel like Origins had done a very good Horde group.
Oh, I really need a Randor too. Even without Marlena and Adora I could use him in flashback scenarios like on the RoE package art, though I want those ladies too.

Do you guys think will Horde Prime get a figure in Origins or Masterverse? I would only buy it if it used the pic related design though.
Anonymous
>>9206175 Origins is possible, eventually. Masterverse, probably not for a while unless we get some media with him in it. Hordak would also most definitely appear first, but if Horde Prime does show up in something, I could definitely picture him in Deluxe form like Skelegod.

>>9206175 >Do you guys think will Horde Prime get a figure in Origins We're getting Sun Man, and they filled a trademark for a character thst is almost certainly Songster.
Asking if ________ will get a character is almost pointless because it's shaping up thst literally nothing is off the table at this point. The only thing thst will prevent any character from getting in is line cancelation

>>9206191 >>9206206 I would be willing to bet that you could use Horde Prime as a litmus test for whether or not someone is a He-man fan or a She-ra fan. I know there will be exceptions, but generally anyone who likes Prime is here for She-ra, and if you don't, you're a MotU purist.

I dunno how you're defining "here for She-ra" and "MotU purist." I mean, there must be at least two levels of purist: those who like Prince Adam but hate him having a sister, and those guys who are always going on about "jungle He-Man"/"pre-Filmation".
Anyway, I strongly prefer the vintage fiction with Prime to that where Hordak is complete and independent leader of the entire Horde, because in the latter case the Horde is just a small group of hobos. I like the galactic empire.

Quoted By:
>>9206859 Few companies would comment on something like that. Never the less, it really does seem like the brand breaks in two and may cause a legal dispute.
Mattel has the toys and can make toy based things. Filmation made most of the Horde and She-Ra cast, so I believe those are lost. But what they do have is the original toys, She-Ra herself (I think) and I believe the Snake Men.
Universal has the She-Ra cast and the Filmation designs. They can license those out so long as the toys are Filmation based.
Universal might own 'He-Man and the Masters of the Universe' while Mattel owns 'Masters of the Universe'. Which may explain Revelations, they might want to distance themselves from He-Man and She-Ra due to Universal. We'll end up in a position where Mattel makes 'MotU' toys and say Hasbro makes 'He-Man' toys.
I think what may happen is that the brand being split in two and Mattel or Universal sues the other for complete ownership due to the confusion on pegs it'll cause. Not copyright theft persay, no theft involved, but the end result is adjacent to it.
