One interesting detail after binging the Netflix show is that Evil-Lyn isn't in love with Skeletor this time. When Keldor is freed from suspended animation, she says something to Kronis about "lots of orphanages to choose from" and Keldor innocently asks "Did you two become a couple while I was in suspended animation?"

Heads up, alot of Mer-man wank incoming. As part of my King Mer-man head canon (merman becomes a heroic warrior following the horde invasion and subsequent defeat), I came up with some characters to further populate his corner of Eternia with. I decided to make these as a means of embodying his former villainy. They're rogues from Merman's past. Tai-Phoon retains a deepseated hate boner for Merman because he inherited the crown instead of him. Toy wise, he recycles most of his parts from Jitsu and Clawful. He'd be clownfish themed to a degree, as his body would be orange with white tigerstripes decorating his arms and legs.

More refined pic of Merman's enemies
Anonymous
Then there's this guy, Tidal-Grave. He's the ghost of the former king of the ocean, the one who preceded Merman. He kind of acts like a mentor and voice of reason to Merman. I based him on that one custom merman skull head thats been floating around. Toy wise he'd essentially be a total reuse/repaint of Merman, but cast in a color changing plastic with a new head and a shiny silver skirt to further his ghostly appearance.

Saw them today at my local collectibles store. Just the two. Really the best of this wave. I tried to get a whiff of Stinkor with my mask lowered a little but was unable to smell anything.
Anonymous
>>9317764 So classics stinkor accessories can fit origins OK. The mask is just wedged between his face and armor and doesn't really peg into anything.
A 3d print or recast could be ok, but the tank would need to be redone as a backpack or something.
There's always just parts swapping with revelation I suppose.

I can't imagine we'd get the whole cast since that's quite literally a new and unique mold for each of them (unless they don't mix it up with a 'inspired-by' look, like New Eternia is).

Idk if they showed it in trailers or something, but all of the villain transformations, though I expected them, were a surprise to me and were cool to see. Sure it's barely a spoiler, but I remember when the first Avengers movie came out someone randomly posted a gif of Hulk smashing Loki, and in the grand scheme it wasn't a big deal, but it was still revealing a scene to me that I wouldn't otherwise have expected.

Nothing about that design gives off any hint of heroism or she-ra in general. It looks painfully generic and worst of all, it isnt toyetic. If you rendered that costume in 3D or in real life it would look like a sleeveless star trek uniform with a mess of guilded shiny fabric stapled onto the chest and shoulders. It's a hideious pile.

If they hadn't already done Filmation colors Skeletor, Evil-Lyn and Trap Jaw, I'd expect that to be the theme of Snake Mountain's included figures, like CG had the cast of "He-Man and the Power Sword" + Sorceress.
They should really budget to give it the cast of "King of the Snake Men!"

Quoted By:
>>9319753 It's a unique design, so I'd be ok with it. If we got figures from that show, I think the ones that would transition to a more Masterverse look would be She-Ra and Hordak. I'm having a hard time imagining the other designs made to look less like the show, but still looking like them.
Speaking of shows, I was thinking about the new show and Masterverse figures. Outside of He-Man, who essentially becomes an adult, the rest of them stay kids. MAA you can kinda fudge in because it's such a mechanical design, but I wonder how they'd do Teela and Krass. All the Evil Masters are adult sized, so outside of uniqueness, they should fit easily.
Writing more than I'd want, but also speaking of these show specific looks, I actually appreciate them. We're never going to get an armorless and scarred one eyed Mer-Man outside of this Revelation design, and being a notable character, we'll definitely get more Mer-Man, probably in New Eternia form. Same goes for Evil-Lyn, Teela, which is also why I'm kind of annoyed with Man-At-Arms. He's got what I think is probably the best time skip design in Revelation, but they just went with his classic, when we'll definitely get another classic like MAA at some point in the future (probably New Eternia again). Just random thoughts, I guess.

Look at it like this: 200x changed Tri-klops from bounty hunter to tech guy, and it worked. And more recently and radically, Ram Ma'am and Ork-0, and from what I've seen, those changes were met with positive reception. So I think Slush Head being a native of the Tar Swamp or Too-Tall Hoove being Skeletor's answer to Extendar might be nice reimaginings.
And let's be real: the series will most likely always focus on fighting over Grayskull on Eternia, so from a practical standpoint, making Eternian versions of these characters would at least give them a better shot at showing up more often.

>>9320590 Because new adventures lore is generally messy and kind of inferior to the lore of the vintage line. That and Eternia being the way it is just allows you to do just about anything you'd like anyways. When it comes to aliens in MOTU, that rank should be left to the likes of the cosmic enforcers and the horde rather than generalist aliens guys like the mutants. It's too small scale for MOTU in general.

>>9320772 Kittrina gets by on the merit of being a sexy cat lady anon, we all know this. She's closer to the PoP heroines than she is to the likes of Grizzlor, Trapjaw, or Kobra Khan. As for Lizard man, I wish somebody could redesign him a little so he looked more toyetic. I always though he looked like a salamander in the cartoons.

>>9320778 I like the New Adventures lore because taking Skeletor away from his power base forces him to change how he works, and that's character development. Plus if you folded the cast into Eternia, Crita would be competing with Evil-Lyn for screen time.
That said, I have no objection to changing a cool secondary character like Optikk to an Eternian.

>>9320759 Seconding it's kinda annoying there's not many creature guys in their ranks. If there was a contest for new characters I'd urge everyone do a creature/monster based hero and not something lame like Mighty Sphincter err I mean Spector.

>>9320791 There were a few. Hans-Some, Big Foot, Inflator.
And there's also some that (to me, anyway) don't appear to obviously good or evil, like Master Sorcerer, Tree Plant Man and Mandible Man, so I guess could have been either

>>9320790 I agree with you in many regards when it comes to NA skeletor. He's frankly the only reason I'd watch the show. But the same cant be said for NA Heman, who just kind of acts like he's just now getting the power sword for the first time rather than it being an upgrade. Stuff like that irks me alot because you can start to tell what NA was initially intended to be. Foregoing the son of heman plot just mucked up the rest of the series and left alot of questions that never get answered. The first episode is the funniest example of that, as it literally handwaves away everything that happened on Eternia "while we were gone".

Unless you're suggestion would be that "Chooblah" be his real name the way "R'qazz" is Beast Man's and the character get marketed as Ski Man or Snowrilla or something else cheesy

How excited are you for wundar? I really like his included accessories.
Anonymous
>>9320908 I'm sure many will disagree, but I'd be more excited for a Masterverse of Revelation Wundar. I say this specifically because he felt a lot more like his own character, even ignoring his odd German accent, he has his own face, that while is similar to that classic He-Man head, is its own thing. Now, I don't know for sure that the Origins one will have the same head as He-Man, it makes sense that he would based on the Vintage figure.
The 3 classic weapons in brown is a fun inclusion, and if a Masterverse one were to come I'd probably want those as well.

>>9320993 There is tons of fear from people, specially because they see mega construx is not as strong as a brand like a few years back.
also they think "if this line was successful then there would be tons of products and releases like crazy, and everybody will be talking about it", also they cancelling some projects, they anouncing that after this set they will no longer sell the figures like that.
And of course they said the line is good and going, and showed the snake mountain prototype. but the fear is that they are just lying and could cancel everything any second.

As for the rest they fall into the cyborg/robot pile the majority of heroic warriors do. All but Buzz-off, who despite having the potential of being a cool monster guy, just looks like a goofy bee man. Although I will concede 200X buzzy looks more the part of a monster bee guy.

>>9321257 >Beast Man >worse than Duncan Naw. He's still the lamest of the current villains, but he's not the worst character overall.
His relationship to Cringer really elevates him in my eyes. I hope they go into thst in more detail with flashbacks and shit
Anonymous
>>9321300 Well... I don't mind Duncan, but he does lack depth and is unfortunately aged down. He's definitely a bit of a dork. I'm hoping part 2 he whips out an arm cannon to go with his varia suit. I mean really he has that going and being a former apprentice who is talented, but lacks confidence which is interesting. He's not the worst even if he is the lowest tier of Man at Arms version. Who was the worst before this besides Snake Man at Arms?
And yeah Beast Man is only good for contributing to Cringer's back story and adversary.
Anonymous
>>9321320 After giving it some thought, you know what I think my problem with Duncan is?
It's that I don't buy Duncan as Man-at-Arms.
If you took the exact same design and the exact same personality (nerdy dork with confidence issues) and made his powered up mode Mekaneck, Snout Spout or even maybe an OC, it would feel more fitting to me.
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>9321345 Yeah even the powered up form looks more like Samus or something, could have kept the color scheme or something. Snout Spout would have been a bold and interesting decision though.
Here's hoping Duncan has a brother with a big metal hand to help join the fight.

I guess they're priced even lower, but it would have been nice if the toys had around that Playmates 5" figure articulation (roughly Origins style). As is, they should still be fun toys for kids.

>>9321737 I think it's the higher price point that allows it for those. I don't think articulation in these lower price guys would cost out since they're already pretty large at 5.5", and a lot of the characters are quite thick to boot. More plastic, lower, kid-friendly price-point, accessories, action features, and just enough left for those 5poa I guess.
