>Archived threads: https://archive.nyafuu.org/toy/search/subject/%2Fmotu%2F-Masters%20of%20the%20universe%20general/ Thread Question:
What do you think will be the future of the brand with Mattel? Do you think Origins and Masterverse will do well enough to get to at least every figure from the vintage line and possibly expand into the more obscure or new concepts? Or do you think the line is slowly declining for some reason due to too many competing sublines (origins vs masterverse vs netflix) and the supposed tooling budget is going to be “used sparingly”?

I went ahead and compiled a list of every figure from the vintage line (minus princess of power (can't really find a good visual checklist)) and organized it based on tooling and if it appeared prominently in art.

>>9310798 Thunder Punch He-Man is even worse than Saurod in the sense that his most memorable trait is his gimmick which I seriously doubt they would include in Origins, but unlike Saurod who's at least an original design, He-Man is just another boring variant.

the horde needs a proper robot guy. Multibot barely counts, he isnt as cool or as menacing as a faker or as endearingly valiant and cool looking as a roboto or man-e-faces.

>>9310975 >Is this actually true? No
There's no evidence that Hordak was based on Dracula, which just leaves Modulok = Frankenstein, Grizzlor = Wolfman and Leech = Gillman in the first year, and Grizzlor and Leech were more higher budget do-overs of Beast Man and Mer-Man than sui generis classic monsters.

-Large assortment of characters like Star Wars and G.I. Joe.
-Lots of gimmick toys, which was a relatively new thing at the time.
-Kids hadn't had a toy before that was exaggerated and muscular in a way like He-Man with wacky characters like the line had.
-Toys were bright fun colors
-Had a good playset in it's initial release with Castle Grayskull.

How do you think flocked Moss Man will be handled, considering how flocked Panthor costed a bit extra? I can't imagine he would be his own SKU like Panthor in-store. Could he be like the Eternian Royal Guard? A deluxe with fairly standard Origins parts (no mechanism) but an alt head and hands + weapon as well?

>>9311236 yeah i went looking and you can find them still but they are quite a bit more expensive then they were when i was a kid. since they were cheap and i was poor as a kid i got them alot and would run around having gun battles with my friends

You can get yellow Lyn and Teela with good knees on Amazon, but it's a toss up whether they ship that version of the old one.
And even the wave 5 repaint Evil-lyn, every single one I see on shelves locally still has the old knees. They even got a refresh last week and it was STILL old knees
I'm assuming that good knees will not be standard across the board until Green Goddess and then going forward there will be no more old knees

Faux anime, yuri shipper bonanza, with lazy ugly art and lazier uglier designs on top of it. You could consider it an even lazier, more stripped down, basal Korra swipe in that regard. You would think they'ed remain content with that. But no, despite being a pack of slovenly lazy psychopaths themselves, seeing the slightest bit of more effort pushed into MOTU sets them off. At a certain point you have to wonder what they enjoy more, the series itself, or the misery that it brings with it.

Question to the general since we're already discussing the matter somewhat. Do you think DW will try and revive any other Filmation property? Will we see botched propagandist revivals of Blackstar and Bravestarr in the near future, or do the heads of DW not even know they exist? I should add, that Dreamworks has gone out of its way to buy up other libraries of classic cartoon IPs like pic related. Which is incredibly dismaying to me as it was one of my favorite shows as a kid. I saw Mighty Hercules reruns and Heman all the time.

He's quite informative and has an amazing collection and genuine love for the multimedia of the franchise In addition to 200X, guys like Dan and Mike built up and cemented my love for MOTU. There's few things that can get me more invested in a franchise than hearing somebody who is both knowledgeable and passionate about it discuss it. I love that kind of shit. Ive never played a single table top game of Warhammer, but hearing about the lore and real world history of the franchise from people who love it is very entertaining.

In retrospect I cant help but blame the time most of these shows came out. By 2010, everyone who had grown up with CN classics in the late 90s and 2000s was either in high school or getting into college. The few around left watching were likely zoomers.

>>9311824 I was in my third year of college, and for some reason the zoomer generation were the generation that stopped liking action shows, instead going for Teen Titans Go and safe CalArts stuff.
Could it be because anime raised stakes more than some cartoons due different broadcast and cultural standards? I don't know.

>>9311829 >Could it be because anime raised stakes more than some cartoons due different broadcast and cultural standards? I don't know. I think that plays a part honestly. However the likes of adventure time and regular show also played a role in the transition from the 2000s into the 2010s. Stupid fun came to overtake the appeal of long form narrative action. Though I suppose it was also just the result of burn out. We were spoiled by alot of great action shows in the 2000s. Secret Saturdays and the like just happened to be the last gasp of that trend. Atleast we went out with a bang I suppose. Also it doesnt help that alot of industry greats, like Dwayne McDuffie for example have passed away or retired.

>>9311815 The fact that Mattel hasnt capitalized on TMNT's abscence by reviving extreme dinos/street sharks sooner is certainly a wasted opportunity on their part. Im certainly still hoping we get an origins style revival for street sharks however. On the subject of Thundercats though, for as much as I'd love the two franchises to be joined at the hip I just cant see it happening. It's obvious Mattel has a rocky relationship with WB to begin with for starters, but there's also the matter of all the plans for movies and shit the company has for Thundercats. Be happy we got the freddie williams crossover when we did, because I suspect TC is about to get another dose of media-pozzing sooner or later.

IIRC CN just has to pay back that year's deduction to the IRS in order to put the show back into production. That was savings likely in the millions though since they wrote off Batman and Robotomy in the same year so I don't see it happening.

Crimson Commander !!uoqqXVkn8aK
>>9311950 I think because with Skeletor you could imagine it being a costume change for story purposes, like with Battle Armor and Terror Claws, or Dragon Blaster. Disco Skeletor was a golden Skeletor with some vac-metal which made him special. I used to treat him as like a powered up version after he took over Castle Grayskull.

for me i was going to get the battle damaged battle cat and metal battle armor he-man but target got about 50 of those in in the entirety of the USA so eventually in my hunt i made the decision to collect masterverse and just buy the origins i like for fun.
origins battle cat is pretty cool he's got alot of articulation and is fucking massive. only complaint i have is he-man doesn't sit on him well .... which is a pretty big fucking complaint but i guess you can't win them all. as a figure he rocks

Skeletor too, while I love thw creepy serious Skeletor from the comics, the cartoon added a lot of humor and quick wit to insult now associated with the character.

No, going full 80's does not imply worse animation, technology has come this far. It's more of a state of mind, anon. The zeitgeist.

Lots of Genndy humor in it, looked beautiful, ypu can tell he had a blast. As for Craig, I remember some episodes of Wander over Yonder toying around with space barbarians. Also Lord Hater is pretty much a Jay Ward parody of Skeletor in the best way possible, so theres that.

I'm really excited to see what figures it will come with. Castle Grayskull got 6, 5 of them straight repaints. Those 5 were themed around the first mini-comic, though: there's nothing left like that for Snake Mountain, since they burned through Filmation versions of Skeletor, Evil-Lyn, Beast Man and Trap Jaw.

Unless he meant his little intro for the Bear panel, which would be... misleading.
For Mattel, it was probably a company decision not to send them. They should have given more of a heads up, but no showing wasn't that big of a deal. Would have been good if they showed up live for some questions at least though.
>>9312635 Were you not anticipating to double dip on He-Man? That's almost guaranteed to happen in any MOTU line.

As for why I let it bother me... I just think He-Man is super cool, the 200X cartoon was great, the 2010's comics were great, the filmation cartoon is pure fun, but it always got the end of the stick with "haha el universo esta lleno de putos" and "ONIONS UN TROLAZO" and other gay jokes.
Then Nu-Ra comes along, actually faggotifies the whole thing, and Revelation comes along and kills the hero.

Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>9313013 I felt like this scene more than any other showed that even she was starting to see the flaws in her own attitude. Her response to Adam saying he died was dumb, this was dumb (because she knew Adam was trying to solve the problem by talking while she herself couldn't justify her own thoughts), and she eventually just walked off, telling Adam that he should stay in 'heaven', even with a smile (though the next time she sees him she's scowling at him for some reason). None of this was explicit, so I guess I'm just inferring based on how it appeared to me (and also dealing with people who acted very similarly). Or we can just say she was being a bitch, which she was.
>>9312707 We've only seen 5 of the 10.
>>9312830 According to Smith it actually wasn't, it was just a decision by Netflix to split it up a bit (to stretch out the content and end on a cliffhanger). Smith suggested that it would have been better if they released everything at once so that people would have gotten the full story, rather than part of it with so many dangling strings, and it wouldn't have resulted in so many being upset about what they've seen up until this point.
An example being so many people still thinking that Teela will become He-Man, despite it being explicitly spoiled that she is the heir to the Sorceress (though, forcing fate when she's trying to fight against it would be a bit strange, as in what, the message is "you can't fight fate"? you can't truly choose your own fate? kind of odd).
Anonymous
>>9312743 I wish they made it more obvious that her anger was driven by grief, rather than selfishness. It's easier to empathize with someone who feels the "wrong" thing for "right" reasons, while very few feel sympathy for someone who's acting like an asshole because of asshole feelings.
Something as simple as
>If he told me then I could have protected him! Would have helped.
Quitting the palace guard because she failed to keep her closest friend safe makes a lot more sense than
>I was one of several million who wasn't let in on a secret that four people knew so now I'm going to quit working for the guy who also didn't know and also somehow this is magic's fault It felt petty and nonsensical, and not even in a "powerful emotions make you do illogical things" kind of way.
Then her reluctance to start fighting again would make sense since she'd feel incapable of protecting Andra, who she wouldn't want to lose like she did Adam.
I could go on, but I really think that Teela's character is THE reason that Revelation failed as a show. The He-Man bati-and-switch was a dick move, but you could still have a good story told with that premise. Whoever wrote Teela completely fucked it.

>>9313052 The way Randor was written also irks me, compared to when Adam died in He-Man/Thundercats
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>9313059 Kevin Smith had said that in the original script, Randor's line to Adam after he said his "beaming with pride" line was something along the lines of "... I hope that's a feeling you will feel as a parent, one day". Later turned inwardly about him feeling parental pride in Adam. Apparently this ties in with part 2 of the show as well.
>>9313052 Good point about how they could have handled it in a way that makes her sound more sympathetic despite her anger, rather than just bitchy.
Same thing with Randor. He was hit by shock, grief, anger, and he didn't know where to direct it. The people who knew the secret, barring his wife, were the recipients of his anger because he didn't know what else to really do.
It was said we're going to see what's going on in Eternos somewhere in part 2, including an episode that apparently has a lot of Fisto and Clamp Champ, which I'm really excited for and hope it turns out well. I assume Randor will be able to make peace with both Adam, Teela, Cringer/Orko (if the latter shows up), and especially Duncan.
Basically they decided to put a focus on the anger that resulted from the secret, rather than anything else. For better or wore.
