Seeing him in Revelation made me realize Blade really needs a redesign, or at least to be more vintage toy accurate rather than screen accurate. He looks way too over-designed to me when you put him next guys like Clawful and Webstor.

>>9469998 Nah, he looks cool. Clawful and classic Webstor were, I'd say, underdesigned. At least Classics added those little extra leggies to my boy's back. They both looked great in 200X. And it certainly didn't help that in Revelation, Webby's gimmick got trimmed down to just having a Batman grapnel gun, making his personal design look even plainer.

>>9470074 To each their own, I guess. Original Clawful always looked like the worst offender of lazy parts reuse to me, with the basic muscle man body, but crab claws and weird head. I'm sure it was just the skin tone, but it never clicked with me.

>>9469866 Okay, so i tried on the gauntlet on the right arm and it fits snug, but elongated wearing will warp the ring (its slowly but surely contorting back to fit Stratos). I tried at the wrist on the left and it works surprisingly well. Its snug but not warping.
And because I felt like going the distance I tried a Ray Mysterio wing on the basic Beast-Man (won't work on LOP) and it's..alright. The hand stays in place and can still swivel but no fwds/Bkwrds motion and the wing sticks off quite a bit. Hope this is helpful.

I decided to try out the Masterverse line with Skeletor. It's decent. I like the texture added to the skirt and the paint on mine (what little there is) is impeccable. Some joints are a little loose and others are too tight, and the hips are unpleasant to handle in general. I doubt anything is likely to tear or break, but I can't imagine someone inspected a production sample and thought "Yeah, that's the good stuff." I feel like I'm a field medic fixing a dislocated hip. I hope the line succeeds, though. I'll probably get the upcoming Barbarian Skeletor and Viking He-Man at least.
Anonymous
>>9470251 Regarding the hips, apparently a dab of shock oil removes that little bump you're probably referring to. I have some of the wave 2 figures and while I still feel it it isn't as noticeable as wave 1's. So far I haven't felt the need to use the shock oil on them, but I may if it starts to annoy me sufficiently.

>>9470283 I might put a dab of dish soap in there if the urge proves overwhelming, but it isn't a major problem. It's just one of several modest gripes. The cape sucks ass too (and isn't even accurate), for example. I like MOTU and Skeletor in particular so I don't regret the purchase, but I don't think the line is doing much to be competitive.

>>9470074 >>9470077 I the classics did Clawful right by making his under torso scaly texture instead of the standard buck.
I like Clawful as is. He's just a silly crab man and I'm surprised he's never been accidentally cooked and eaten by his peers.
Imagine if Clawful was into butter tanning and one day and stayed out in the sun too long.

>>9470352 I used to use dish soap too, and it's always worked for me besides one time I put too much and the tight joint became extremely loose, but everyone said to get shock oil, and I came across some cheap, so I gave it a shot. Haven't had the need to use it yet though, which is technically a good thing.
I see some people say they're not very impressed with these figures, but next to other domestic toys, I think they're some of the best. The torsos could be done better but most wear armor anyways, so it isn't super needed. A ball at the waist rather than a swivel would have also been good (especially because of the armor). Otherwise they're just as if not more articulated than anything out there, come with multiple accessories, pinless joints. Since wave 2 I've been a big fan of the line, and some of the upcoming figures look great. If people didn't like wave 1 (but are interested in the type of figure that these are) I'd say give whatever character from later waves that you may like a try, like Scareglow, Fisto, Spikor or Stinkor.
I do think that Savage He-Man is an incredibly lazy repaint and it really should have at least included a second head. He feels more like he's meant to be minicomic He-Man or Oo-lar rather than Savage He-Man from Revelation.

>>9470380 >like Clawful as is. He's just a silly crab man Same here. There are two types of MotU character designs: serious and silly. And that ties into why I didn't like 200x Clawful.
The 4H made the "serious" designs more serious (your Skeletor, Trap Jaw or Hordak), and kept the silly designs silly (Mantenna, Stinkor, Mer-man), but the tried to make Clawful from silly to serious and it didn't work. They should have just played to his strength and kept him silly

I'm doubtful they'd get the transformation right if they actually included that part, but just a straight figure would be cool. It would also probably be a regular figure, because no way they're trusting a large metal woman named Motherboard at a higher price point to do well. Was a fun surprise, but there are other characters I'd want before her.

Far as articulation goes they're a step up from Classics, visually they're a downgrade. For now I'm just sticking with Origins and MCX.

Given the nature of parts reuse the proportions being different isn't a surprise, but I'm not sure why the face is so different. I like it anyway because it looks distinct, but they didn't even use the right color. It's a strange choice, since it's not like they were ever going to limit the line to one Skeletor or something.

It's ultimately up to you, but you already put in around 2 hours for Part 1, throwing in 23 minutes to give Part 2 a try doesn't seem that wasteful.

>>9472403 The 200x toys were quite stylized. I think if we had those designs in Masterverse it'd be closest to what we had on the show.
Side note for Masterverse, all male figures have been sharing from I believe 3 molds (aside from Moss Man, and I think the upcoming Mer Man has a slightly smaller torso, plus the scars seem sculpted on, much like Beast Man's) or so, while all females have had new molds with minimal shared parts, if any. I guess I was just thinking if they were to make 200x Teela, how would she turn out, and from what we've seen so far, probably pretty damn well given she'd likely get a mostly all new sculpt.

>>9472314 I don't hate it, and to be fair I don't own any, but when I think masters, I think a little buffer, they seem kinda skinny. Depends on the character tho, for me he-man looks skinny, but I'm okay with skeletor.
It's extra weird cuz, the cartoon he-man the figure is based on, is waaaay bigger too, so it's not even a case of it being show accurate.

>>9472314 Weird proportions and a terrible hip piece (which can be changed in future reuses of the buck, I guess, but right now it sucks). There are a few other minor problems, such as the inabilitity to fully extend the arms and generally subpar (not terrible) poseability, but I think the thing is that this body is intended to be reused a lot in this new modern line so you'd expect it to be some sort of milestone and it ends up being disappointing with that expectation.

>>9472314 The proportions. I think its OK on some of them, like that skeletor manages to mostly hide it with the chest armor and Stinkor's head and armor is big enough to compensate but the body is just awkwardly lanky looking and the heads look undersized.

>>9472758 I do think it's weird that He-Man probably isn't as big as he should be, but seeing these figures in person does them much more justice than in online pics. Once you have them in-hand they feel don't feel as lanky as you'd think. At least that's how I felt about it.

Or just keep it simple and do a weapons rack set that comes with a few of everything. Because of the modularity and customizability among all these lines, that was actually the question I submitted for that Power-Con panel, but no such luck getting them to read it out. Given that not even their WWE line has accessory sets, I'm doubtful MOTU would get them, but it'd be great.

Either way, you could always give the shoulder pads and helmeted head to Revelation He-Man if you want to make use of those parts.

>>9473096 Thank you for complimenting my drunken camerawork.
Im sorry but I never invested in Classics, as it was before my time (I vividly remember being like 9 and seeing pics of the flocked Moss-Man and wanting it so bad) and by the time I had the spending power to buy them (I had a ThinkGeek about a 5 minute drive from my Uni in Spring 2019) it was on the He-Ro and El-Darr wave, which I wish I got because they where like $15 USD. I still kick myself for not getting Sludge-Head and El-Darr
To go off topic, but still about that ThinkGeek at Waterford Plaza, I went there often. Not as often as ACME Superstore (which has a hearty selection of MOTU stuff, and I might puck up a Tung-Lashor while there) but still often enough for the Cashier to know me. She was this beautiful red headed petite women (like James A. Janiesse's wife Chelsea) and I had a massive crush on her. She was beutiful, but I just felt inadequate. Like I'm 19 and I'm still buying toys, yet I have a full time job and can pay my bills. Im not buff /fit/ I visit the campus gym when I can. I knew she was out of my leauge, and by that time Thingeek went under it was too late.
She was so nice, but if she is happy now I'm happy too. I don't want her, as she is too good for me. I wish her the best, as I'm on my own quest of self-actualization. I do hope she is happy, as she was neved judgemental and seemed to know her stuff about geek culture. But thats enough Lore for right now.

I live in a country that never had access to any of the Classics stuff, so that period was also pretty much gone to me as well.

Surprise surprise though they actually are selling Origins and Masterverse stuff at general retail here now so I've got He-Man, Skeletor, Skelegod and Battle Cat all together for now.

To be fair to them, the way he was done on the show is how they made it, as in a base black body (translucent plastic) with the bones when the character glows. Which would obviously then make sense if the bones glowed, but what can you do. We'll probably get another Scareglow down the line made of gitd plastic.
Anonymous
>>9473192 Now this doesn't make sense. Do you mean the one the exclusive version had? Not like Scareglow ever used or even held both swords, and much nicer ones, properly sculpted rather than formless translucent plastic, are coming with King Grayskull, so if for whatever reason you want to give him both swords, you can do that.
I assume you didn't buy the Origins version because he also didn't have dual swords?

>>9473200 King Grayskull has a different version of the swords. Whoever didn't buy that exclusive is fucked for that version of the swords.
Anonymous
>>9473204 Yes, but I was saying that those swords are actually accurate to the what they're supposed to be, while the exclusive's sword looks like it belongs in a gimmick line, the way the sword is open in the back when combined. If you're that keen on that one, then that's fine, but if say, you wanted to give the dark sword to him, he'd look a lot better with the one Grayskull comes with than the formless purple half.

Basically pointing to the series itself (Revelation in this case) as to why the detractors' argument is untrue is a pointless effort, because they won't listen because they've already made up their minds and aren't looking to change them, whether true or not, and so it's easier to just take aim at the entirety of the series (in other words something that will illicit a response) and say that the bar isn't exactly high in its writing or character development or story.

>>9473419 Not sure if it's the same problem but the hips on mine were messed up. When I spread the legs out for a pose they would not go back together all the way like a permanent semi split. I had to heat them with my heat gun to get them back together.
Also the ankles are weak. Every now and then skeletor likes to take a shelf dive. Not as bad as skelegod which I had to modify an obitsu stand to gut so he could stand. But I still think I'm going to put a stand on him just to be safe.

ok so onto my intended post. I recently bought this guy and ho buddy what a piece of shit. This has to be hands down the worst masterverse i've bought qc wise. I was on the fence about him already but the figure did not endear me to it.
The hips do that semi split thing and will not come all the way together. The right shoulder is stuck and barely will move laterally up and down. I got it down mostly but i had to use the whole arm as leverage and repeated use of this tactic will cause the arm to bend on the upper bicep peg. All of this is not fixed with an application of heat. as you can see the heat gun in the pic. If i keep it up I'll end up melting the figure.

I did need to unstuck both his biceps, but a bit of heat from the hair dryer helped (I probably could have just wrenched on it, but honestly, it's worth the walk to not risk breaking anything) and otherwise I just tightened some joints a bit, not because they were loose, but I'd just rather them be a bit more tight.

>>9473601 >>9473603 Yeah, i pretty much bought him knowing he was going to be *less than pristine*, but there was a reason for it.
Somewhere in the chaotic stew of my brain, spiced with the /toy/ films ive seen, 2 new MOTU projects that where meant to go in opposite directions of ""maturity"" and the stock reply i see all the time of "Kids dont buy toys", I had an idea: Small Soliders, but MOTU. I know this doesnt make sense, but neither did small soldiers.
My headcannon is something like " MOTU IS BACK, and better than ever. Introducing MOTU: The Power Collection, a new Adults Collector line. Featuring Real-Feel skin technology and EternoTek, a new paradigm of interactivity! Just Plug your MOTU figure into any device of your choice and program new movements and speech patterns within the DuncanDevices software lab (included, requires an Internet connection). The Power is within YOUR hands!
And then long story short some parent buys their "Kid" a He-man, he thinks it's lame and "80's nostalgia pandering", and decides to make it into a /B/tard for shits and giggles by exposing it to {off color} media. However, not using the included software and leaving it plugged in and able to access the internet while he goes off to wageslave causes it to "Enrich" himself, gaining a level of sentience. Long story short it now hates it's "owner" and fears it will be the next on the Kitbashing chopping block, so it decides to go to war, cannibalizing other figures for a new look and becoming more and more damaged as it trys to harm its owner.
TL;DR: a fucked up, damaged looking He-Man really gets the Childs Play/Small Soliders part of my brain excited

So you are getting a $25-47 discount versus paying retail. If you wanna make it the biggest WWE related killing since Chris Benoit, go ahead and ask him to chop off maybe $25 to 30 at most. If they are loose you could easily hack off the $30. Gage them a bit too, and figure out how desperate they are for cash.

>>9474889 The head joint seems fine so far, not loose or anything. Because of it though, you can see where the fur is glued on.
Plus, since the head and body are separated, the fur doesn't look as nice as the vintage, when he had no neck articulation and the fur was a solid piece, making him look fluffier. I also had one tuft come out in my hand (nothing major, so he doesn't have a bald spot now or anything), but that aside, tge fur seems to be pretty solid on him, but time will tell if more shedding occurs. It's worth keeping that in mind though

A side by side if anyone wants to compare the fur on the two.

>>9475629 Filmation Hordak adds blue, as would Mantenna and Dragstor. Leech, Multi-Bot and "purple Octavia" add unique colors.

Hopefully we get Wrap Trap and there's a little more green and white.
Also, if you're a person who likes to follow the cartoon and stick Rattlor and Tunglashor with the Horde, you got purples, oranges, yellows and reddish browns

>>9475686 I was going to grab her because I think the figure itself looks good, but I'm banking on a Sorceress Teela. She'd probably even also come with the sword and staff she wielded, much like the wave 2 one is coming with.

>>9475704 The gauntlets are non-removeable, In case you didnt know.
I use him as a more feral evil warrior, and remove the armor so youre just left with a red gorilla. Or as a savage beast the resides in the dungeon of Greyskull or as a pit fighter.
And if push comes to shove, the feet can be swapped with the regular release to make a more Filmation accurate Beast man.

>>9475732 Same, but I have a weird feeling it will be a Powercon exclusive. And if we get Gygor, they will probably do the canned preternia line, and maybe even Tytus and Megator.
I do wonder just how far the line will go if the goal is to "modernize" the original line. Like are we getting Meteorbs? I really want Meteorbs. Maybe ill import some Tamagoras if it doesnt happen. Christ if the Meteorbs are Powercon exclusive...

Quoted By:
>>9475890 I think they would go with the prototype design to keep the look consistent, they would most likely axe (heh) the play feature, as it seems torso based action features are the only ones making it (excluding ram man, but the MF is like 75% torso)
And i would be happy if it's the prototype design, as it just feels more "Eternia" to me, and I think it had to do with its more squat design. Like the Classics one is very cool, but it's too...realistic, like he is JUST a gorilla? It looks like it belongs in the Schleich Eldrador line.

I think I might just go with the normal beast arms, though, maybe start with a Stratos as a base and paint the gauntlets sculpted in the hands.

>>9476207 I wonder if it's the demand for Origins getting them out of shelves as soon as they arrive or retailers trying to get Masterverse in front of people without the presence of Origins so people actually bother to look in their general direction, at least by accident.
I can find Origins only on retailer's online stores but in the actual stores there's only Masterverse and Clamp Champs. I don't get it. They have the stock but I haven't seen any new waves in stores recently, only online.

Hey /MOTU/, I know nothing about the He-Man series except that I like Filmation's design for Skeletor.

>>9476447 It's with knowledge of the series that you start to hate things like Skelegod regardless of how good of a toy it is.
Get it if you are willing to take that risk.
Anonymous
>>9476463 Is he not a well-regarded character? Honestly, I'm into skeleton-related figures and I think that this Skelegod fig would make a good addition. The main complaint about the fig I'm seeing is that his ankles are weak.
I will say that I might check out that Netflix series solely based on how cool the figure is.
Anonymous
>>9476477 It's more that the events that lead to him existing were on like four layers of bait and switch so it felt really cheap, and from what I hear from season 2 he doesn't even have much to show for it.
If you can ignore that I guess he makes for a pretty good demon lord-looking figure.
Anonymous
>>9476483 Hmm, interesting. Well, guess I'll be ordering him then. That green effect he has going on is probably going to go great with some of my Spawn figs. Thanks for the responses.

Quoted By:
>>9476498 You can always adjust the ankles with floor polish but if it uses the same plastic as the Origins figures be very careful when you try moving it again.
I always adjust the knees on my Origins figures because they always have a section of the joint that's really floppy but it always feel as if the peg is going to break when I move them again so I do it very slowly. I don't know how is the plastic on the Masterverse figure but it could always be similar to Origins.

Quoted By:
>>9476447 I saw all of Revelations an what like "eh, that was something to fill time, at least Stone Ocean comes out in a week", but you wanna know about the toy (I pretty much ignore the show, especially because i had a weird dream about Battle cat and Prince Adam when I dozed off while watching it).
The toy for me is a mixed bag. Yes, the ankles are a bit weak, but it doesnt seem so bad on mine. He looks cool for sure (like if Skeletor and Mum-Ra had a hellspawn together) but be warned, the cape on the back attaches with a weird shelf like system that i still havent gotten quite right since taking the cape off. I'll qlso admit that being the first "deluxe" Masterverse figure, especially as someone who loves the bulkier ML deluxe, he feels a bit...sparse? It's lighter than I expected and I feel like a few more acessories would have been nice (an Alt. Head, maybe another effect piece) for the price point.
I wouldnt say I regret getting him, but the whole thing feels a bit...wimpy for a supposed god. And christ, would it of killed them to add magnets for the metal on the cape. Im paying $30 for a deluxe, so give me something that feels like it couldnt be done at the regular figure price point. Overall a 8/10
