>>9464577 Lyn just wanted a free trip to Trolla (assuming that's where she is). It really is a missed opportunity for Clamp Champ and Fisto not to have also come back for the final battle.
Lots of toys I'd want from the series. I know people want the classic looks but I actually want the unique looks (that I liked) from the show. We're bound to see another MAA, another Teela, another Evil-Lyn, etc, so if they have looks exclusive to the show, like MAA's makeshift gear, or Teela or Lyn's Sorceress attires (or both their super forms), I'd be all for it. Randor with sword and pistol would make for a cool figure too.

Do you think Pixel Dan felt awkward watching this scene with his wife and kids?

>>9464477 Not sure how true it is, but I took it that when she was further amped by the celestial convergence, at that point she just had all the power she needed to stay that way, and at that point had to willingly depower.
When she depowered, poor Beastman at the bottom of that drop with a broken back wondering if anyone was coming to help him. Could be a cool potential victim of MotherBoard, actually, to both save him and give him motivation to serve the Horde. Not sure how much Grizzlor would like that.

>>9464602 It was technically aimed towards adults, according to them. They may have gone a bit far though, especially knowing that kids would be watching. But you could say the same about some outfits, but those were received well.
You could also liken it to some nudity in a pg13 show, though it being MOTU might have caught some off guard.

Her ending felt more like the setting up of a 'repentance quest' for S2 to me. She's not shown happily celebrating with anyone, just walking off alone, leaving behind the wand. She'll probably have to deal with being the most hated person in Eternia moving forwards (even more than Skeletor or perhaps second only to).

>>9464553 Thread Qs, my thoughts:
- Hopefully I can snag an Orko from the upcoming 2-pack. Since near 100% the two "mystery figures" in wave 4(?) are Sorceress of Zoar Teela and Sorceress of Horokoth Evil-Lyn (which is why they were hidden, because spoilers), I'm not holding my breath for a Masterverse Oracle or pre-cataclysm Orko (as he'd probably have to be a pack-in with another figure again). Would like a Nendo Oracle, fat fucking chance on that, though.
- I want the answer to one question: WTF is Evil-Lyn doing on Trolla?
- Yeah, but my chances are nil, since they're all collection white whales.

Sorceress is a cutie, but feels like not a lot of figure for the princely sum 18 of the Queen's dollars my local store is demanding for this wave.

I skipped Orko because he just felt...mismatched? Like I get that he is a beloved character, but his origins figure just wasnt doing it for me. I saw the single carded Sorceress at both Targets I visited, but I already have Greyskull, so i skipped her for the same reason as you. I didnt even jump on the BA versions till they ended up at Wal-Mart.
The aforementioned price hike will also be a factor going forward.

I know what you're gonna say, "but Filmation colors", and I'm sure she has appeal for those of you that care about that, but for me one Sorceress is as good as another and I personally don't find much appeal to single carded Sorceress. Maybe if Grayskull DIDNT include the pack in I'd be interested, but they did include it and my Sorceress quota is filled

>>9465059 As lazy response as expected but, no, lmao; the show still didn't feel like it knew what tone it was going for, leading to a schizophrenic feel between or even within scenes, and stuff like the sex scene felt as unnecessary as Teela's sidecut. There was way more that I enjoyed than disliked, though, even if it failed to reach the (unexpected, afaic) heights of the CGI show. Beyond the plot, I feel like Revelations might be the best MOTU has looked outside of the work of Obrero, George, Norem or Taylor.
>>9465073 Yeah man, the worst thing in any line is feeling the 'need' to be a completionist. Collecting a complete line is absolute joy for some, but can start feeling like work and a source of anxiety for others. We've gotta collect at the level that feels comfortable to the individual - I've been guilty of getting burnt out on lines I was happily collecting most of due to suddenly feeling the need to grab everything else for the sake of it because I was already 'so close'.

>>9465188 I wouldn't say one is better than the other, but I'd put 200x, Nu-Ra, Revelation, and CGI on a similar level of coherent storytelling, but that's just storytelling becoming a bigger focus, so I wouldn't talk down the old shows necessarily, though there were some shows in the 80s that had some pretty captivating storytelling. OG and She-Ra can be on the next level. I can't really judge NA since I haven't seen it in full, but from what I've seen (I think 6 or 7 episodes) it'd be last. Would take way too long to justify what I said, but if I look at these with an objective and unbiased view, and also one that isn't of a tv show critic cause hell if I know how they judge things, I'd say the above.

>>9465208 It isn't a sequel, just kind of inspired by the events that unfolded in Filmation. Skeletor seemed smart, but also naive. His fighting IQ was high though, his fights were pretty impressive.

Origins has a bunch of issues even taking into consideration its more modest ambitions, but it's also carved a niche and has made some savvy decisions that endear me more to it.
Anonymous
>>9465214 >but that's just storytelling becoming a bigger focus Yeah, for sure - even the 2003 cartoon is somewhat of a midpoint in that shifting approach. My point was that perhaps part of why the new show received a lot of praise here is that it was more on a level with the more well-regarded entries in the franchise than we (or at least I) expected from initial leaks. The total lack of promo hype and/or anything to live up to will likely have helped, too.

>>9465240 For sure. The only expectation was "He-Man", and in that it reminds me a lot of franchises like Transformers where new iterations of shows are often completely brand new. It even further reminds me of Animated, because people got so up in arms about how different it was, but once it aired it turned out to be a good show. For most anyways.
I am a bit surprised at how willing some seem to be to accept these changes though, especially when a haircut for Teela in Revelation threw so many into a rage, compared to a new Teela not remotely like the original in the CGI show. I don't mind new interpretations like that (probably why I just took Revelation Teela for what she was and wasn't expecting her to be anything but that), but I am surprised it seems like the majority were so open to it as well.

>>9465485 Their relationship is incredibly abusive, which is also why Evil-Lyn acted the way she did after she got the power. She's used to lies and manipulation (like Skeletor 'feeding' off of her while in her wand and skewing her actions, like grabbing the havoc staff's head before heading down to subternia), so it probably seems normal for her to do this in kind to Skeletor.

I'd be happy with my one Revelation Teela being her Sorceress form and maybe the classic look, I already have W1 Evil-Lyn but I'd probably be ok with both other looks as well... For Duncan I'd want his regular Revelation look over the classic. Aside from Orko I can't think of any dramatic changes in clothes. Also I want an Adam... Not sure why we haven't even got a hint of one when he's such a focal point especially in part 2, and it's stressed that it's Adam who's He-Man.

>>9465255 >>9465289 Advertising probably played a large part when looking between Revelations and CGI. To me Revelations suffered from too much "creator advertising" as I would call it where a company or creator lets slip too many personal details behind a project, decreasing the intrigue and mystery for said project to simply stand on its own and be judged accordingly. Insignificant details like "We made all the women bulkier because X" are ultimately irrelevant because it has no bearing on the plot/writing/characters yet gets pushed as if it's actually something important to discuss. Same goes for anyone who tries to advertise LGTBQ+ or skin color as some sort of selling and brownie point when nobody in their right mind gives any iota of fucks about that person's sexuality or race
As far as I could see there wasn't really much advertising, creator or otherwise for CGI so that plays into less "baggage" when stepping into watching it. That along with the radically different interpretations of the characters and concepts made it much easier to swallow and ultimately accept. The humor can be a bit childish here and there but ultimately I think it knew to have fun when poking fun at itself and other franchise aspects.

Unlike, say, 200X which probably wouldn't have gotten much better with a third season, I think Revelation easily could with a second. But they fucked themselves by putting so much stock in a cliffhanger for four months and I'm not sure a renewal is all that likely now.

>>9465690 I found it really shit how Evil-Lyn gets a redemption in the show, after she took part in helping Skeletor kill He-Man and Mossman in the first place. And the former of which turned out to be the King's own son, and she also tried to overthrow an entire government and by every right should have been executed for treason and crimes against humanity, but LOL someone was mean to her once and she has a vagina so it's ok.
It's like, what if Jeffrey Dahmer regrets eating all those people? I guess he just gets redeemed right?
https://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2006/september/34.125.html >This book tells the disturbing yet redemptive story of how, by God's grace, an atheist, pedophile, and mass murderer repented and believed in Jesus Christ. Roy Ratcliff—the erstwhile preacher-turned-prison-minister who baptized Jeffrey Dahmer—discovered through him this deep sense of grace that flies in the face of our compunction to condemn, voiced by one college professor who said, "If Dahmer's in heaven, I don't want to be there." >Ratcliff says he became convinced of Dahmer's sincerity during seven months of prison visits. "I feel very, very bad about the crimes I've committed," Dahmer told Ratcliff. "In fact, I think I should have been put to death by the state for what I did." A fellow inmate killed Dahmer in 1994. >Ratcliff called Dahmer by his first name, Jeff. "He became a real person to me, so I referred to him the same way I would anyone I knew personally," Ratcliff said. "He was ready to die. I was the one who was unprepared." I guess what I'm saying is, from a plot point and in context, it's retarded.

I realized in reading through the thread how pointless it will ultimately be to discuss revelations. Like with everything else in modern society nowadays, your opinion on some ultimately forgettable product will come to color people's idea of you no matter what. So instead of taking that route, I rather ask this. /MOTU/, what is your ideal iteration of MOTU? For me, I'll always fall in the no-man's land between the mini-comics and filmation. This is pretty much why I hold 200X and the Freddie Williams comics in such high regard. Both works present Eternia with a perfect balance of cheesy charm and serious appreciation that is rarely seen in other iterations. Every other show/comic either skews too goofy or too serious for my tastes. i guess I ultimately just want a kind of "evergreen" iteration of the franchise. A He-man for all seasons in a sense.

Also, I weigh Ted Biaselli's words that it was meant to be such save for three (more than three, imo) changes. They killed off/scrubbed out the remaining Filmation canon immigrants (the Sorceress, Orko - to a degree - and the entire Trollan race). I count it as such. I'm not saying everyone should, of course, as such things are subjective, and wholly based on one's pov.

>>9466265 Another thing with Clownfish is their leaks occurred when part two was still in production which could have lead to changes in it but they be small ones if any, like the bit at the very end. We do know the VA was called in for part two at a later time after part one so there is some merit to argue for it. But I think it should be very stressed how little they be able to change up in such a k short time

Now that I think about it, yeah, i do think they had a whole peg of the Revelations ones (Skeletor, Whiplash). I think this was their big Black Friday restock where they filled all the pegs (except for Star Wars, which is rarely stocked). The only thing missing from the current lineup (and i mean new stuff, so no Greyskull) was the Wind Raider and Wave 2 of Masterverse, but based on shelf space there really isnt anywhere to put them. Can't wait for all that Space Jam and Ghostbusters stuff to be removed.
This post is getting long, but I want to add one more thing. When I post my haul, I'm not doing it to rub in that I have something or to brag. Im sorry if that's how it comes off, but I post the haul because I want to show off that Brick and Mortar retail is still viable, and that if you miss something online that IRL stock is showing up. I want to be a bro and say "X is now available in stores" or "X has landed on the east coast" because I do enjoy these Generals.

>>9467200 I guess if you were expecting them to be like their Filmation counterparts. If you just take them as their own characters, then that's just who they are, just like in the CGI show, and in 200x, and in comics and in the Minicomics.
Though, at least for some of the heroes,I feel like they got the character traits pretty well compared to Filmation, just turned up a few notches. Teela was extra headstrong and stubborn, Adam was still extremely heroic in his actions, Duncan was a father figure and inventor and man of action, Orko with his good intentions but inability to do right (until his shining moments, anyways). The villains felt a bit more different in their portrayals, like Evil-Lyn was the one to call Skeletor a boob rather than him to his henchmen, and obviously the verbal and physical abuse being portrayed much more aggressively here.

>>9467332 Beast Man from Filmation was a pretty non-character from what I remember, just a punching bag for Skeletor's verbal jabs. He did occasionally do his beast master shtick. They chose to make him the noble beast (noble simp more like it) which is weird, considering he's a villain. The other option is the savage monster, 'whipped' by Skeletor because he's the Alpha. I assume if there's another season they'll explore him and his motivations more. As is, he came out of nowhere, then basically became Lyn's simp for no explained reason, then after "becoming a beast" for Lyn, was thrown off CG's bridge and was never seen again.

I would hope kids would like the older stuff, even if they don't favor it over their first series. I does feel like a bit bigger stretch to go from CGI > 1980s show, than Bayformers > Animated > Beast Wars > 80s.

Roger Sweet (book and "The Toys That Made Us" episode): MotU sales in 1985 were $250 million. She-Ra toy sales were $58.2 million that year (The She-Ra Collector's Inventory, 2006). Assuming a 1:1 correlation between She-Ra and female MotU fans, that would support a number of 23%.

>>9468745 What could be the reasoning behind girls liking motu anyway? Was it just because it starred a big hunky muscular man?

>>9468764 Women aren't attracted to that kind of body
I suspect it's because they were fun toys

Just opened up Masterverse Spikor, my first figure with this more regular body (previously the non He-Man and Skeletor from wave 1) and I like him a lot. I'm not sure if I just lucked out but all the joints are perfect on him and he moves fantastically. Damn though, his gripping hands are tight as shit, gonna just warm them up to get that mace in there.

>>9469191 >Terror Claws dragon clamp thingy is pretty cool It is, but I'd like TC Skeletor a lot more if the dragon was part of continuity with Dragon Blaster Skeletor. Like make the armor the same sculpt in metallic purple and have the clamp mount on his backplate with its head looking over his showwnx4ulder.

I know this is a LOP Mer-Man and friends general at this point but, would you guys recommend LOP Beast Man?
Anonymous
>>9469327 Personally, I wouldn't, but that's because I prefer Beast Man in his traditional colors. The sculpt itself is great, way better than wave 1 beast man, but I just can't get over thst they didn't release him in the same colors as the Powercon LoP Beast Man

>>9469346 I think it's in part the small minority of people who whined about MUH EXCLUSIVE after Mer-Man came out with very few changes. I recall some toy YouTube cuck whining about it pretty hard. I have the LoP Powercon set and my girlfriend loved that Mer-Man so I was fucking stoked when they put him out at retail. The decision to make Beast Man red was kinda goofy, like sure those were concept colors, but I don't think anyone prefers red.

>>9469439 Don't worry, process of elimination means Thunderpunch will be the next He-man variant, you'll get fists with him

I highly doubt they'll bother with the cap gun feature.
Be fun to have that harness in removable form.

>>9469383 I've found that being patient is the key with this line, and I see the LOP boxset as a good example of a prelude to this. Between waves not showing up earlier in the year and FOMO I was very tempted to pay that scalper premium for a few things, especially almost dropping $50 on Mosquitor. But with patients and persistent (and a retail job/too much time), you can own all the non-online exclusive stuff.
Im probably very wrong about this, and i dont disparage others for buying it, but dropping $400 on the LOP boxset with the hindsight that LOP variants can and will be made for mass retail feels to me like paying the scalper price to assure you get something ASAP, versus hunting it down for a retail price and maybe not finding it.
Also, I do like the red paint over the orange. Makes it feel like a different character.
