>>9415599 A site and company can be good and still overcharge. Their PoL is a good service, for example, but an Origins figure at $25 is still $10 more than retail, which is absurd when retail is $15. I think that's what anon was implying. I'm just about immediately turned off by shopping at a store if they are overcharging (depending by how much and the size of the store too, I guess) as well.
Anonymous
>>9415639 >>9415580 I really don't know how anyone could defend this. Other figures are maybe $20 if it's wave 1, but $25? Because it's a popular character?

He-Man is a bit bigger than the others, he really should have gotten his own slightly bigger body and it would have worked out great. It's also a shame they couldn't bother to pack in a pair of fists too. That plus the basic head rather than an angry one. That could have also been a pack in. Yes Orko and 3 weapons, but it's a deluxe set, it should still be able to come with 1 extra set of hands and one more dynamic head.

Anyone wanting a Beast Man or Man-At-Arms likely finds their niche in the LOP and Eternian Guard releases so no need to keep those guys going. Hordak, She-Ra, Orko, Sorceress and MAYBE LOP Mer-Man I could see being produced individually as well.

Got out to Target early this morning. I think they may have just restocked some of their MOTU stuff. Got an Origins Wind Raider, then from Masterverse I got: He-man, Skeletor, Skelegod, Battle-cat and Faker. Hadn't seen the Faker set in person before. Went ahead and ordered Moss Man and Evil-Lyn, as well as pre-ordering waves 2-4. Watched Revelation this morning, ended up really liking it besides Teela.

>>9416555 That's true. The black tubing that runs from the top of his head to his shoulder means the arm is still able to be held in place, so if I choose not to move or play with him, you'd never know he was broken.
And I'm considering cracking him open, my only reservation being that since I've never disassembled a figure before, I run the risk of completely destroying him and not getting him back together in a functional way

>>9416098 >"...lower torso as well." Negative on that. Any heat applied just turns the piece connecting the upper and lower torsos rubbery and results in that piece stretching when you attempt to separate them, after which it doesn't quite return to its original length. Don't try this unless you have one you're willing to risk damaging.

They don't have like five lines based around the same property if it isn't doing well. That video he did about people finding the Royal Guard in particular came off as stupid. It's not like that was a widespread thing, some fag in a warehouse probably just shipped out a pallet of them while sending out other stock for liquidation.

>>9417566 Nope and worse yet they have to wait for fucking Powercon to ship their allotment to them.

In the meantime, a number of people cancelled their BBTS preorders once they were able to acquire them through Mattel Creations, and some of those folks have ALREADY started receiving theirs.

>>9419479 I understand that's the point of entry for the vast majority of stuff coming in--that I get; what I don't get is why it doesn't seem to be making its way out of California, brick and mortar wise. Like, what happens if there is minimal stock flowing in? It spreads throughout Cali and into nearby states, then nothing for anyone else? Okay, now what if the next shipment of that same product is similarly small, do they once again fill up all those other brick and mortar establishments, even though those stores already received a first order, meanwhile there's none left over for any states past a certain geographic area? This is something about distribution I don't have a great understanding about: do they just keep restocking those same stores/states if limited stock continues to flow through, because with the supply chain totally fucked and rumors of ongoing factory operation disruptions, you could have a scenario where product doesn't make it farther east INDEFINITELY. Someone help me here...

Anonymous
>>9419537 Typically individual stores order a specific number of cases from my understanding. What I like you am wondering is if say Cali store orders 4 cases, do ships keep distroing to that store until it gets its 4 before cases will leave Cali and start going eastward. I'd be interested to know the answer to that. My suspicion is they will just short the stores if they know they have limited stock and just start feeding it slowly east even if Cali stores only got say half their order. But that's just my suspicion.

Looking over MotU's original run, I think it's easy to see why it died. 1984 is the last really solid year. 85 is iffy, there's some fun shit here, but they start feeling like deep cuts when you return to the brand, not iconic characters. 86 is even weaker. 87 is about on par with 85, but the damage had been done.

Hasbro has gotten arrogant and keeps raising prices, while Mattel, McFarlane, and Jazwares are trying to maintain that 20usd price point. Think of the cheaper costs as them being able to play with the margins for a bit longer.
Also Mattel is maintaining that price across the board. Pretty sure their WWE Elite are still made in China and are also 20. Mattel makes good use out of the "buck" system with their lines, for the most part, which is a good way to save on costs.

Sometimes the app will tell you to update while the scanner is activated, just press back and the scanner should come back on. Unfortunately you will have to repeat the process everytime you want to use the app as it will stop and force you to update.

Sun Man, Anti-Eternia He-Man, Horde Trooper and Clawful is going to be a weird wave. Imagine the mini-comic.>He-Man asks him to go intercept Skeletor and Clawful

>>9423603 >>9423608 He’s not _bad_ but looks like he needs a lot of work (GID paint, cloth skirt and better cape).
I’m enjoying my $15 Faker so far, and Scareglow was the only Revelations figure that I wanted…so maybe I’ll just get it anyway.

>>9423670 I'm getting the impression that that comic will be like the wave 3 comic, with that time corridor that splits into several dimensions, and Skeletor opens the Despondos, Anti Eternia and Sun Man world gates at the same time.

>>9423674 Hmm, that actually is pretty cool looking. Shame that offer's over because now I'm kind of tempted on him.

>>9423608 Why are they so fucking cheap on the glow for Masterverse this is a disgrace to the Scare Glow name and lineage.

>>9423803 Because Masterverse kinda sucks. I was hoping the engineering issues would have been worked out by wave 2, but I have Beastman and he still has weirdly tight/frozen joints and uncomfortable to articulate hips where the peg has more give than the peg hole.

>>9423832 I only wanted Moss-Man and he's great. I might get Stinkor I haven't decided. Otherwise the line doesn't do much for me.

>>9423697 He’s really not bad, but given his design is all over the place I don’t know that I’d pay more than I did for him. (And here’s the figure with what I think is a knockoff Mezco One:12 GID skull smashed on.)
I’m more into the Origins line anyway, so these Revelations figures are something I’d only ever pick up on clearance in the first place.

>>9423905 Personally, I've never had any breakage by gently forcing each joint. Just grab both and push them where they need to go. Otherwise, hot water.

>>9423846 Moss-Man has the least problems for me, too. Skeletor and Beast Man both have VERY iffy hips, and Lyn has what are essentially single elbows because each one only has one reliably working joint, which isn't even consistent between arms. Thinking about it, He-Man and Skeletor have that issue too. I'll still get Man At Arms and Stinkor because they're my favorite Masters, though. And those New Eternia HM and Skelly because those designs rule ass.

So... you think in 2022 Mega Construx will actually give us Orko as well as Anti-Eternia He-Man, Clawful, Whiplash, Buzz-Off, Webstor, Ninjor, Ram Man, Zodak and pink Teela (as shown at Powercon 2020)?

>>9423032 Masterverse figures circulating have occasionally been having more than their price would typically justify across the market. Evil Lyn early was 20 for a 7 inch pinless figure with 4 alt hands and 3 accessories. Compare that to a Marvel Legend and it dwarfs it, it even dwarfs a McFarlane at that price since it has more accessories than usual. I actually got Skelegod for 25 from Walmart and that figure was huge with nice extra hands and accessories.
The reason why they started out so cheap may have been due to wanting to get people into the line. This level of value may not remain but they had an incentive to be able to pass the value onto the consumer at the start at least to get them to get a few masterverse figs to "buy into" the line. We'll see if it continues. I know some people have issues with the sculpt on the head for Skeletor and the Heman body though.

>>9424128 the idea of yet another he-man and skeletor variant is nausea-inducing at this point
Anonymous
>>9424128 At this point, you need to write off MCX if you're treating it as a figure line. It's not. They don't care about character selection. The only value of mcx is in its construction sets.

>>9424161 I wonder if statistically most people just buy one He-man and one Skeletor and don't get any more of them for an entire line.
