>>9441956 Between vintage, NA, 200X, & classics... probably '0X? The over-detailed and crazy sculpting makes it stand out to me. Everything's got wires and circuits on it, or spikes jutting out of blades on top of rifles mounted to robotic sharks. Really great work from 4H.

>>9441930 It's really hard to say, sales of the line have slump in store, likely more to do with how things went with the Revelation Show drying up hype and thus demand of that wave one and all the Deluxe sets. Obliviously they are branching out but much like other brands that suffered bad media tie ins (GIJoe Retaliation, Transformers DotM, the original Masters of the Universe film, Star Wars TLJ, etc) it can crush or slow down later waves in the line to obscurity. That said this line is supposedly not that tied to Revelations but they are not making the best case for it when most of the line is just that.
Also this is Mattel we are talking about

The line launched alongside the show, and the figures (Teela a notable exception) don't stray that far from conventional MOTU designs anyway. It's not that tied to Revelation; it's almost beat for beat an attempt at Marvel Legends-ifying MOTU with a broad line. They're throwing in new stuff about as fast as could be expected.

Strongarm/Strong-or feels like a genuine Mattel designed character despite being Filmation original
Anonymous
>>9442205 There was a rumor once that Strongarm was the original idea behind Fisto, but at some point developed into a hero
There's also this, which implies early confusion between Strongarm and Jitsu
https://youtu.be/drbFe24hpgw So there's circumstantial evidence that Strongarm may have been a Mattel idea, but (afaik) nothing concrete like a concept sketch or anything. To me (tge following is all fan theory) it almost looks like Mattel created "Chopper", and the character was designed with a metal mask and stretching arm, and that explains the Dragon Invasion storyboard. Then Mattel came back and said "ok, Chopper is an Asian now". But at this time, SheDemon of Phantos was already animated, they couldn't go back, so they just changed the name to Strongarm for recording the script and then used the Chopper animation model for Dragon Invasion without bothering to change the storyboard.

Like if a person only just discovered the line, they've missed 5 waves. So release the regular versions in handy box sets to make it easier for them to play catch up.

Variants in a gift set pack is primo buttered up scalper bait. The intent should be to make older core figures available for newer Origins collectors. Especially considering certain waves (Waves 3 & 4 in particular) have a ton of non-cores that /motu/ likes but so-and-so that only knows She-Ra, Hordak and Tri-Klops don't.

He's one of those characters that there's a lot of potential for it all to go wrong.
If they nail it, he could be a potential best figure of the line (like he was in Classics), but he could also wind up a colossal letdown
Anonymous
>>9444423 What are you afraid might happen? I hope he has his action feature still
Anonymous
>>9444434 Well, for starters, articulation, particularly in the lower body.
If they give him vintage style legs, the knee and ankle articulation will probably be awkward or virtually nonexistant. If they give him a Classics style lower body, it should work out fine, but being this is Origins, I doubt they will.
And the other thing is head sculpt. My two biggest complaints with vintage Mantenna are the mouth and the ears. If they veer too close to perfect vintage accuracy like they did with Fisto, he's not going to be nice to look at.

>>9444446 I never said I wanted him to look cute. Don't confuse me for a filmation fag.
Compare vintage to the 200x and Classics versions
On both of those, the painted the teeth so it looks more like a mouth and not a sphincter. And the ears on both have a sharper, more fin or batwing like quality. Plus the head is less rounded in the cheeks on those versions.
So I want to have the same elements, but the vintage toy lost those cool details in the execution.

The weirdest thing is the netflix cg line is almost Walmart exclusive because I haven't seen it sold anywhere else. Target is still just flooded with the glut of basic bitch 2020 Skeletor and He-Man and wave 1 Masterverse Revelation, Rise of Evil, and that deluxe Masterverse Faker.

But from the people with the quotes, shipping went up on PC’s end so quotes have been $85 for just the Horde set add on probably $40-50 for the Faker set. “But muh small Con with no money”...... My shipping for all 3 from Mattel was $6.95 and my Faker set and Grayskull set have PC logo on the top box. Val can wipe his ass with stupid sticker and trading card. That’s also probably why it’s gonna be more. They have to add those to each package.

Mattel also decided sloppy splash of paint on beast man was the right choice because it looks just like the sloppy paint on the vintage. So they would totally leave it unpainted for cheapness and then defend it with "muh accuracy"

>>9446074 It took a good bit of time for that sloppy medallion paint to grow on me. Its kinda funny to think about scrambling to find wave 1 at release and how far everything has come since then. Like i didnt even think id find man at arms then, i passed on sky sled, waited for battle cat to hit clearance etc and now weve got friggin sun man! Its been an amazing ride with this line and you guys.

>>9446100 I worked at a Wal-Mart during the launch and every day when i came in at 5 am I did a strategic path through the action figure aisle. We never got the endcap and didnt see a He-Man till like late December. Then again the only sex shop and landfill in town are right down the street on the same side road.
Ironically, the shitty small ass (not a supercenter, no grocery section) Wal Mart across from the beach that I wrote off as a hunting ground as it never gets shit in stock and has a miniscule action figure section got the endcap (and my $60). It was actually a cool night where I crushed a hard exam, went out for a run under the october moon on the beach, scored wave 1, and then went home and ate Count Chockula at my Kotatsu with wave 1. Fuck, I felt like a kid again, I felt happy.
But what really brings me happiness, as this Anon pointed out, is being here for the ride. I'm happy that you all have been receptive to my partswaps. I'm happy that you all havent gotten rude about my Schizoid Personality Disorder. Ive been using /toy/ for about 5 years now and I really have to say you have all been the most pleasant threads I've had the honor of being a part of. I dont want to sound corny, but maybe some of those life lessons that ended every episode rubbed off on us.

>>9445424 Sorry, but they're getting them, and you're just getting beaten to the punch. If it weren't for my having a Target within 10 miles of me, one that I can check multiple times a week, one at which the associates are eager to help and always more than happy to scan the code for me to see the estimated dates of arrival, I'd probably come away with the same impression as you. They arrive and people grab them up quickly around here. It also helps that I belong to a private toy collecting group of about 30 people who scour the city for each other looking for these things, so I know that ALL of our Targets and Walmarts get stock, it just happens to be a timing issue whether or not you ever see them.

>>9446788 If they make Origins Snake Mountain, I think they need to either make it bigger than the vintage one or increase the number of packed in accessories.
The old one was always too small on the outside to make an appropriate mountain backdrop for figures to climb, but then also didn't have anything going on on the inside to be a fun base for Skeletor.
It doesn't need to do both, and I'm not looking for it to rival Classics, but it needs something to help it compete with Grayskull.

Anyone have advice on displaying a MOTU collection so it doesn't look like a complete clusterfuck or is that not possible with these lines? I have Classics, Origins, Vintage, Masterverse, and the CGI Line (Including the $12 jumbo figures) and it's a clusterfuck that covers 3 full shelves. Should I rotate my shit out?

>>9450876 I think the reason everyone sidesteps sy-klone ia that he fills rolls the good guys and bad guys had already done previously and better before he came along. Although he looks great on his own (honestly he's one of my favorite vintage figs) when you pair him up with earlier masters he some how seems plain? He has to compete with Buzz Off and Stratos for coolest flying guy, with faker and roboto for coolest robot guy, and with zodac and the meteorbs for weird fun spaceman. It's not an easy competition.

Anons, what's the next wave again?
>Anti Eternia >minicomic Trapjaw >Clawful >Horde Trooper Where would Sun-Man fit in, assuming we're still getting 4 figure waves?
Furthermore, next wave is:
>Randor >Mantenna >Whiplash >Pigface? >Digitino? >>9450854 Please tell us more about this, I'm fascinated
>>9451283 It's THEE PLAYSET of 80's pop culture toys. Get it. The accessories and Sorceress figure are great

If I could play 50 to 100 bucks just to own them allat once I would.

>>9450836 I love finding old beat up motu figures like that. Somehow there's charm in finding chewed up figures and giving them a home in your collection. One of my first vintage figures was a buzz off with a chunk of his forearm missing.

>>9451696 >Where would Sun-Man fit in, assuming we're still getting 4 figure waves? Sun Man's placement in retail listings for Wave 9 always changed spots between where TJ or Trooper would be. He probably just got pushed back to Wave 10 or beyond. Possibly to have Pighead and Sun Man come out in the same wave.

>>9451696 I'm wondering if Sun Man and his crew will come on their own special "Sun Man" cards and not be distributed in the standard case assortment, but as there own thing the same way deluxes are shipped.
Like wave 8 will be Clawful, AE H-Man, Horde Trooper and minicomic Trap Jaw, and then Sun Man ships separate in his own designated "Sun Man" case (the release of these figures coincides with February, so they can market it for Black History Month to justify it and hype him as his own thing rather than a He-man supporting character)
And then the next wave would be 200x Skeletor, Randor, Mantenna and Whiplash, with Pighead and Digitino being shipped together as a separate case assortment under the Sun Man brand

>>9451790 No, because She-Ra had the Princess of Power sticker on the bubble and came on a MOTU card. I think it's just going to be the same for Sun-Man. Plus there are no less than six retail SKUs active at once for this fucking line, that will cause so much unnecessary confusion.

Did Mattel outright buy Sun Man, or is this just a one-time licensed thing, and after Origins we'll never see them again?

>there are nu-ra fans making posts in this VERY THREAD

>>9451993 One-time. Yla has kept the full rights while Mattel can make the figures. Don't know how much she's getting in royalties.
I've started considering origins as like a "best of" the 80's 5.5 muscle men at this point. Sun-Man & friends, WWE, He-Man. Now we just need Galaxy Warriors & Speclatron. Those DC primal age figures aren't half bad either.

Speaking of MOTWWE, Chyna is proof that they have another She-Ra crown piece, see we're bound to see an actual She-Ra variant that uses it, right?
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>9452156 Not at all. The crown piece plugs into the face sculpt and I just don't see them making a She-Ra that has holes in the sides of her forehead. Plus MOTUWWE has never shared newly sculpted WWE pieces with Origins aside from the crotchpiece for LOP Mer-Man.

Quoted By:
>>9452156 No, It's a licensing issue sadly. The reason that WWE figures use classics parts is because a licensed line will have exclusive rights to any new parts made for it. That's why new wrestling figures can use things from older waves of origins, while the first couple waves of wrestlers had to use classics parts- because Mattel had already previously released those in an home-grown IP. Think of it kinda like how you can use the public domain Frankstein, but not Universal's Frankenstein.
I'd love it if Steamboat could confirm Mattel's doing a Dragon Blast Skeletor, but alas. It's the classics dragon.

>>9452428 Scott Neitlich was the brand manager for Matty Collector for Mattel in the late 00s to mid 10s. He was in charge of Classics and DCUC among other things. He did a handful of strange and questionable things like bsing motu lore and used his OC Mighty Spector as a filler character for their new OC subline for the 25 ann of the motu brand.
He has a YouTube channel where he does "director's commentaries" about the classics line figures and random opinions and things that he claims are facts about the toy industry. He will reply to almost anything you leave as a comment.
He's got a bit of an ego, but I don't think he means to be malicious and tries to maintain a face.
