>>9303761 I'll add some notes to these
>Sun-Man coming as both convention exclusive as retail version, latter yet to be seen Pig-Head and Digitino specifically named.
>MCX Monstroid w/ minicomic Adam, She-Ra and Hordak Also Land Shark with Roboto and damaged BA Skeletor. Real working treads with working Landshark gimmick.
>Wave 3 Revelations; Fisto, Stinkor, Pope Tri-Klops, cultist Trap-Jaw, DX King Grayskull, punished Mer-Man Wave 3 is Fisto (die-cast fist), Scareglow (still only head confirmed to glow), Andra (softgoods cloak and mask), and Stinkor (second head, mask, and shield were all shown).
Wave 4 seems to be New Eternia Viking He-Man (sword, axe, boot knife, 2nd head for a more classic look), NE Barbarian Skeletor (Demo-Man curved sword, Havoc Staff, 2nd head for a more classic look), classic Revelation Teela (sword and shield, 2nd head with messy hair from the scene), and Revelation Mer-Man (swimming hands among other hands, spear, sword).
Target Exclusive deluxe King Grayskull.
Deluxe Revelation Tri-Klops and Trap Jaw. Both can achieve pre and post time skip looks.
>Non-Revelations Masterverse figures? Teased were banners for New Eternia (more coming beyond the 2 shown), POP with She-Ra's name on the box, and He-Man and the MOTU (new Netflix show) with He-Man's name on the box.

Not to mention it's a Classics figure vs Origins, and the Origins Sun-Man fits the style of the rest of the figures in the assortment.

Is anyone else not getting any of the Skeletor and He-man variants? I just don't see the need to own Battle Armor, Flying Fists/Terror Claws, ect. I don't mind Mer-man or Trapjaw since I can use them as different characters, but I can't do that with the He-Man and Skeletor figures.

I got the Origin of Evil pack at Target today. They raised the price to $33, what. The normal figures were also raised to like $18. Ah well, I searched through the best of the 8 or so they had there. I'd regret not getting it on sale and having to only pick from a few of the bad ones left. I'm happy to have them regardless.
>>9304245 This one's super cool. I kind of hope they make an Origins figure of it too.
Crimson Commander !!uoqqXVkn8aK
>>9304248 >I guess this confirms Origins is alive until at least then eh? Thats good isn't it? Yes, it is a good thing. Mattel's claiming the line will be alive in 2023 and so will Origins, although they used the wording in addressing rumors from Scott Nietlich:
>"There are no plans to discontinue Origins." So, I'd imagine the inevitable response from Scott will be that it's a boilerplate response of saying:
>"Well, we wanted it to continue, but we couldn't." Also I'd fully anticipate him to suggest that Origins appearing in Mattel Creations is proof that it's leaving retail.

>>9304261 It's not too bad actually price-wise- you still have different waves occasionally restocking on bbts and amazon. I think the only exception is the "normal" wave 3 figures like roboto/merman/zodac/she-ra. You'll PROBABLY have to get everything online though which sucks cuz you can't qc check in store, unless you're lucky enough to have a local shop with em. Here's a checklist. Of course it doesn't account for the new waves though.

>>9304545 Nope, same situation, I use BBTS with pile of loot, as long as I ship a bunch together, EVEN WITH SHIPPING is still cheaper than amazon and retail.
Only exception so far was the re-released skeletor, was like 290 pesos on amazon with free shipping, too good to pass. Also saw 200x evil-lyn at that price but she quickly jumped to 500+, the others tho, start at 400+ sometimes 600+

>>9304551 To say that He-Man is very popular here would be an understatement. The show keeps re-running on cable and YouTube, some kids like my friend's son like the character and got into the toyline.
You may know this already, but the Filmation cartoon here had full lyrics on the opening. In 2010 the singer of that version made a remastered version that got used for a while on re-airings.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjcyHPaXBuM That said, it's a matter of perspective. Some figures here like Tri-klops is nearly 50 bucks and in general it's an issue of peso-dollar exchange. What might be cheap for you, ameribro, might be kind of "eeeeeh maybe later" for me. It fucking blows.

Though He-Man with the cloth loin cloth vs the fuzzy one has his design more akin to an amalgamation of both Viking-esque He-Man designs, the one with the boot dagger and the one that later became Vikor.

I've had that human shaped bullshit happen before tho, but only with HLJ and fedex, those packages always get fucked, so I started avoiding it.

Obviously, the bigger the order, the pricier the shipping, what actual rates BBTS uses, I have no idea, that said, my guess is it can't go lower than like 22-25 bucks.
As for time, seems since I last did this things sped up, used to be like 3 weeks to a month, iirc, I wanna say this last order was like 2 weeks? super reasonable desu.

>>9304443 I've always disliked the expanded Snakemen, and I think I finally figured out why...
The OG Snakemen all had action features that mirrored something an actual snake (real or mythic) does
>King Hiss, sheds skin >Rattlor, quick strikes like a real rattlesnake >Sssqueeze constructs like a python >Tung Lashor flicks his tongue in and out >Kobra Khan spits venom >Snakeface, while not a real life snake, has a feature that emulates Medusa Now, look at all these things. First off, half of them appear to have no feature, period. But (imo) it also needs to be a feature that mirrors an actual snake somehow.
Fangor comes closest because they can do "popout" fangs to emulate a vipers retractable fangs. But the rest are basically worthless as they are

>>9304381 Historical, it was a black power fantasy from some Yakub believer.
Today, diversity. There are people who like obscure figures that needs to be "canon. There are tons of knock-offs or old concept designs they could use, but Sunman means diversity and maybe a nod to black He-Man fans.
I am Ok with it besides the original text phrase. It kinda sounds like a rascist, stereotypical reducing on skin color with a thrirsty, cringy black inferior complex. I mean just skip the magical melanin, write that he gets his power from the sun. That should be enough and still keep the classic origin.

Mattel's kinda going all in if they're doing Kol Darr. They've picked up the license for Filmation, which some people questioned if they would or not, and Kol Darr proves that they did. They also sprung for the movie license, which I assume to be licensed thru William Stout like Super7 did. And they licensed Sun-Man. I'm assuming they licensed She-Ra also, because they talked awhile back of doing more She-Ra characters and we're getting a She-Ra in Masterverse.

When Classics was being produced, Mattel wasn't interested in licensing media for the line the same way they are now that the figures are at retail. Things unique to Origins: WWE wrestlers, Sun-Man figures, Mini-Comic Tri-Klops, Anti-Eternia Keldor(when they eventually make him), Dupli-Cat, the space suit for Castle Grayskull, Landshark, working action features, vac-metal, and still more to come. I'd personally like to see Mattel Creations do an Eternia playset kickstarter like Haslab.

Scott said he made them anyway and just said "oops I didn't know we couldn't do the other characters." Super7 also made similar claims regarding She-Ra and Classics saying how they were forbidden to really do them while the Netflix series was going on, because Dreamworks owned the IP.
So, I'm thinking Mattel sprinted for the license with the interest on their part of doing more She-Ra in the line. It would also allow them to do Shadow Weaver in Origins and she's a major character in the Horde.

Another female character type MotU should have is a frog girl based on one of those species whose babies detach from their backs. An action figure that carries smaller figures is a fun gimmick, and they could viably be 0.75" on a 5.5" Origins figure, based on the female horned marsupial frog carrying 10 mm diameter eggs on her 77 mm body.

The He-Man and the MOTU panel just happened and I'm pretty excited about it, even more so now knowing that we'll be getting some Masterverse figures for it. Skeletor seems pretty damn menacing, I'd say even more than Revelations Skeletor, from the clip they showed. I'm sure some won't like the "we have the Power", or that Skeletor and his crew basically have an equal but opposite power to tap into, but it's a pretty fun concept, and levels the playing field a lot between the heroes and the villains and doesn't really leave anyone behind as a result.

>>9306657 WWE disliked taking a smaller cut proportional to their other lines due to paying Mattel to license MOTU characters.

>>9306657 "All I can say about why this line ended is that partner two was upset about some of the decisions partner one was making. Partner Two is in the midst of a severe corporate downsizing and doesn't understand why it has to split IP rights with Partner One (as well as licensing fees for the wrestlers themselves) on a badly distributed line, when it could instead have a wide-release line sold everywhere (including their website and live shows) and not sharing residuals with anyone except the wrestlers.
Partner Two is also kind of salty that the big movie event that Partner One promised for 2020 never happened. Partner One has countered with "well, you ain't so hot yourself, bud" and "them empty arenas ain't exactly pushing our IP to new heights while we're trying to get a couple of tv series off the ground, bruh" so it ended abruptly and cordially.
The perennial struggle has been between one partner wanting to make figures that sell (ie, the legends of WWF) and the other partner wanting to focus more on using the figures to promote their current roster. I think it's funny that the line replacement will be Superstars, because that's what Partner Two fought kicking and screaming for three years.
At the end of the day, somebody with common sense and a hhhead for certain aspects of the business said "this is what sells, and this is what we need to focus on, or we're not going to have a current roster to promote." Sometimes micromanagement works, especially when you have a licensing department that went to Harvard but has never seen a wrestling match."

>>9306655 I wonder if they have plans for more comics after the mini series. I'd have to imagine they do.
>>9306633 TMNT is at IDW, there won't be a crossover any time soon. And do we really need to push a crossover rather than MOTU itself? Whether through new stories in familiar worlds or others, I'd rather see something new. Thinking about it, maybe New Eternia will take place in comic form. Could be both a new ongoing comic series as well as the next animation after Revelation, perhaps.

>>9306710 New Eternia comics seem likely to me.
Anonymous
>>9306708 Are you talking about the upcoming line? One would imagine this "common sense" part of the statement there came long after wave 1.
Either way, being limited to Walmart really hindered the line and its potential for growth. Even just a 2-pack VS setup with new and old wrestlers would have alleviated the supposed concerns of pushing current wrestlers. Hulk Hogan vs Cena, Austin vs Orton, Rock vs Drew, etc.
Doesn't seem likely we'll ever get more WWEternia, but it'd be cool to see them come back in Masterverse, though Steve kind of shot that down on one of his streams, saying that Elites and Ultimates are basically the same thing (though he may have misunderstood the question, since articulation may be similar, but it isn't like they have fantasy armor and weapons).

>>9306723 I was absolutely planning on doing this. I've been paying a lot more attention to WWE figures recently to do just this (for example Drew here would pretty much fit in as is, and even better if he were given a chest harness). They unfortunately didn't pick the question but I'm sure I'm not the only one who asked about accessory packs for both Origins or Masterverse (they're pretty much interchangeable, and with Origins ones we could continue the current WWEMOTU line with the Superstars line).

>>9306934 In terms of MOTU toys, I'm a fan of MCX, Origins, and Masterverse, and as a fan of those 3 parts of the series I'm quite satisfied with the MCX reveals, a bit underwhelmed by Origins reveals, and very excited by the Masterverse reveals.
MCX: the Monstroid was the only real surprise here, but all the sets look fantastic.
Origins: I was most looking forward to Jitsu and especially Clawful, but at this point I'm not a big fan of how either turned out. Stridor came out strong, however, and it looks absolutely amazing. It's cool that Sun-Man is showing up, but I'm not a fan of how his head turned out. Kuldar looks really cool, but probably not something I'm going to go out of my way to get.
Masterverse: Most of the reveals were known, but they turned out better than I was expecting, and they look great on display in the cases. The New Eternia stuff was a nice surprise and something that has a lot of potential, I think. And the teases of PoP and the new Netflix show showing up in Masterverse was a really nice surprise.

Save for heela and the race swaps I plan to pick up the almost everything shown.
I like origins and I would buy more but the inability to get key figures I want easy keeps me from grabbing all but the most essential figures. And since I'm on the ground floor of masterverse. I'll get them there. But I do like seeing them posted and want the line to keep going for every one.

>>9304381 Specifically, it was the creation of Yla Eason, whose 3 year old said "I can't be a super hero, because He-Man is white". She wanted to buy his a black action figure, but couldn't find any (Clamp Champ wasn't out yet). She asked around, and eventually found investors to make the first wave of Sun-Man.
The toy company she founded, Olmec Toys, also made the racially-diverse Bronze Bombers (pic related) to play with G.I. Joes, and made a Meteor Man bendy when that movie came out in '93

Has anyone tried modding an Origins figure to give it the power punch action?

>>9307143 Funny you say that, because even the majority of people here are giving it a chance. Even more than they gave Revelation a chance (I get it, if one got too hung up on the 'spiritual sequel' stuff, and didn't get what they were expecting, it was a bit of a jarring shift, as opposed to something just completely new).
>>9307188 There wouldn't be enough room. You can pop apart the torso to see the construction, to somehow get a spring mechanism in there wouldn't be particularly feasible.
But apparently the 2 new He-Man and Skeletor will have it. Not sure if that means the torsos won't be swappable. Guess we'll just have to see.

Ask Frazetta's IP owners and make them more accurate to the art? Because if they can just take whatever Sun Gold made without taking inspiration they could just start with their animal men to test the waters.

>>9307367 Oh, I know about the minicomics, I've got the minicomic collection vol. 1, but the final minicomic did had "The Secret of Keldor" as it's story and it simply feels much more satisfying to have Skeletor be someone closer than He-Man, much closer than him, or Skeletor (when he doesn't know He-Man is Adam) would want to be.

I know not everyone has the ability or connections to go out and start a company, but if more of the people who spent their time complaining actually made something, there would be a lot more variety and competition in the toy aisle and Hasbro and Mattel wouldn't be the lazy giants they are now.

>>9307441 Outside of the head (it looks like the extra head will just be a regular vintage style Skeletor) if you take off his armor it looks like this Skeletor is mostly LOP Skeletor. That chest design is painted differently, and he doesn't have the skulls on this shin guards, but the arms are the same, as is the belt and loin cloth. Super excited for these LOP figures. I have a feeling our LOP 5 will be getting made in similarly inspired looks under the New Eternia banner.
