>>9424965 >Of the new challengers, who do you think would sell the best at retail? The skeleton army builder.
I think the frog will also sell quite nicely.
If that valkyrie looking girl ends up being Battle Armor Teela and not an original character, it should move due to name recognition
If the pterodactyl rider comes with the pterodactyl he should do fine, but if he doesn't, he seems too generic
I want to believe Dylamug, Octavia and the skiing yeti will all sell well too, but that's personal bias on my part because I don't think they generate the same excitement that the frog and skeletons do
All the rest I don't see them as being hugely successful. They might gain little cult followings, but I could see them ending up in "Dragstor" tier, where most folk ignore them
(Better pic of the yeti I came across related)

Has Origins Wave 6 actually been found out in the wild like at Target? BBTS said they'd process the order "soon" but I don't really want Beast Man.

>>9425629 I picked up wave 6 at the beginning of last month and then three weeks later I picked up wave 7. With how quick we had both waves on shelves in SoCal the rest of the country could end up with both waves dropping onto shelves at the same time. Always preorder the wave to make sure that you're guaranteed the figures and then check back daily to see if they've dropped the individual preorders, then secure the preorders for the figures you want and then drop the full wave order.

The joint in the torso seems alright I don’t feel it at all loose but I’m not going to risk and pull the figure apart.
I might just live with it. The loose right forearm seems to be a common issue.
Anonymous
>>9427437 Yeah, that torso has the potential to get more brittle over time. The one that I had (and later sold in the /BST/) broken a chip off of the overlapping portions of the belly area—likely because it was the only thing stopping the joint from getting a really deep crunch.
As for the loose foreleg, you could probably just use the old Pledge/Future/clear acrylic trick.

This...this isn't good, is it?

I think it sells, but perhaps the distribution issues of the last couple of years, together with Target and Walmart's not having ordered enough cases, initiially, of early waves due to trepidation over shitty sales, has handicapped the line to the point that it makes sense to go ahead an put a stop to it and focus on the kid's line and the Masterverse stuff.

If this line of speculating ends up holding any truth, I'll be peacing out early. Most figures I've bought have been mostly just tiding myself over until figures I REALLY want come out, and IF this were a "sign of the end", I don't see much point in buying waves 6, 7 or 8. Buzz Off and Clawful aren't much consolation if we never make it to Tung Lashor, Snout Spout or some of those box art teaser new characters.

>>9431339 I don't think the line will end without releasing the things confirmed and leaked, but what about past that? That's the thing. We know as far as the Randor/Whiplash/Mantenna wave...who's to say that's not it? And that's just 3 waves away, so IF that's as far as they go, I'd still call that an incoming cancellation.
I don't know how far in advance they actually produce and manufacture the toys to have them ready for distribution, and I want this to last at least until the end of 2023 since I think that's how long they'd need to at least finish vintage + box art teasers, and hey, if they've already got the shit started now to be ready for then, great, I'm worried about nothing, but if stuff only gets made 1 or 2 months prior to release, they really could pull the plug at any time

>>9431339 >and they have far too much new media coming down the pipeline for Origins to just be dead. I've yet to find a source for this using google, but I was told that one of the heads at a Chinese factory came down with Covid and died, after which the workers at the factory staged a walkout, hamstringing production for a month or so. Has anyone else heard this? If that's the case, and with the other issues already outlined above and elsewhere, could it be that those delays in production have impacted the announced/leaked offerings already in the pipeline, effectively bringing a soon-to-wrapped line to an even earlier close?

They said they were using that factory because it was the one Mattel used for the line originally, but the factory was being paid extra by Mattel to get preference on toy production and there was lots of fuck ups at this particular factory leading to Super7 moving production elsewhere.

If a man used the Sword of Protection, would he be turned into a woman? If not, would he have the same outfit as She-Ra? Would he still be called She-Ra?
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>9436890 Bait aside, I think the real differences between the sword are the aesthetics of the costumes, and the sword of protection's transformative abilities. I don't know if the power sword has a unique equivalent.
A man would still be a man, and his outfit would share the same design aesthetic of She-Ra's without being an actual dress, assuming this is something that would have happened with a 1980s American design team behind it. Give this prompt to a modern twitter user, and you'll get a different result.
As for the names, He-Ra seems like an obvious change, but She-Man... that's got some baggage already and it's never even been used in canon. Completely unrelated to this, I've thought for a while that He-Man's "canonical" name should be He-Ro, like the original, with He-Man being a joke or misunderstanding that accidentally stuck around, like in the CGI show. So then a girl using the power sword would be She-Ro.
Or, we can drop the assumption that the prefixes in both names are meant to be literal english pronouns and say that both terms are Eternian words for something else and not deal with it at all.

>>9438528 Seriously. I havent found the Andre wave yet and it kinda hurts that its ending. Yes, Superstars is using the same bucks, but its just not the same. I think back to all the wacky versions of WWE figures ive seen (Monsters, Zombies) and wish they dipped into that pool a bit. I would kill for the 4 armed Brock Lesnar and vampire Undertaker in MOTUO style
But I see a bright side to all this too. The line only ran for about 2 years, and as far as I know there are no cool concept or prototype figures that got a prototype made then shelved, and no online/con exclusives. The Golden goose seemed to be the Snake Moutain ring and honestly, i just want the figures. One ring already takes up soo much space.
What really kills me is that we wont see Savage World done in MOTUO style. Like Holy fucking Christ I would absolutely have a heart attack inducing orgasm if the Horror figures got made.

>>9439690 How many different version of He-Man has this line already gotten? Isn’t that what killed 200x?
Anonymous
>>9439901 I wouldn't say it's quite that bad yet.
We've got 3 versions of He-man, but we also have 8 others characters our or coming soon, so there's still variety.
200x had like dozens of He-mans and Skeletors with next to no new characters as it went on.
Besides that (and this is just my opinion), this doesn't seem like a line meant to last a long time and have a huge roster. It makes me think of like Transformers RiD or a Ben 10 line...a show meant only last 2 or 3 seasons, get a half dozen waves of figures out of it, then hit recent and start over. That's what all the other modern toy commercial shows generally do. So a bunch of He-man variants won't matter if it's not currently intended to be a long term series

I wonder why Mattel isn't doing Origins gift sets right about now. I think cherrypicked reissues of older figures would do really well since the line as a whole's been a bit tough to get into. Maybe make some "greatest hits" two packs like LOP He-Man vs Skeletor, She-Ra vs. Hordak and even Scareglow vs. Orko. They could even make it so they come out around the Holiday season.
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>9439978 With constant reboots like Transformers, Ninja Turltes or any superhero cartoon.
It's the formula they all use:
Get 3-5 seasons, make maybe 6 or 7 waves of figures. Cancel it. Next year, brand new series starting from scratch.
And you can run an "adult collector" line on the side that IS meant to go long term, since adult fans allow for that marketing strategy.
Adults want long-term ongoing lines with lots of figures (like Marvel Legends or TF Generations and that is what I believe Origins and Masterverse are)
But for kids you do a string of short disposable lines (Animated to Prime to RiD to Cyberverrse, or Spider-man TAS to Spider-man Unlimited to Soectacular Spider-man to Ultimate Spider-man.) And that's the kind of show CGI feels like. So it'll last a few seasons and if it performs well overall, will get replaced after a few seasons as is the norm for these types of shows. You gotta think brand longevity, not show longevity here

If you just need a generic random mook, he's fine because of how interchangeable he is, but he doesn't have any particular unique ability or skill that you can work with.
What kind of scenario could you come up with in which "this ONLY works if you use Whiplash?"
