>>9609233 Bro, this is a big sigh of relief, I love the origins line, it's not expensive, the toys are actually a good omenage to the original toyline and they are tons of fun, honestly more toylines should take note of this, I'm also a Transformers collector and I'm sick of getting like 10 exclusives for each mass retail figure, origins is love, origins is life

There was plans to do vintage PoP and some other stuff like that preternia He-Man and Skeletor.
Really hoping things stay strong so Origins can flourish.

Might get our first teases for Snakes. Maybe, but it'll be a looong time before any of their figures show up.
Wave 9: King Randor, Whiplash, Pig Head (all teased), mini-comics Trap Jaw
Wave 10: Mantenna (teased), 200X Skeletor, Digitino ... and Grizzlor?
Wave 11 could have any two of Sy-Klone, Two-Bad or Leech, with Moss Man and Space Sumo to keep tooling costs down.
So we'll be waiting 12 months for anyone from 1986, the movie, Blast Attack, Sssqueeze or Snake Face.

If Mantenna's box had him chilling with Dragstor or spying on Rattlor and Tung Lashor, just acknowledging them and showing them off would have me placated for a while.

>>9610022 >looks far too much like the vintage toy (which I'm sure sounds crazy to some people, but I think it could look a lot better). That does sound crazy when you're talking about Origins. The whole point is to mimic the vintage more or less accurately.

>>9610028 MAA has a moustache, He-Man's head was updated but they went back on that, Ninjor had sculpted 'armor' rather than cloth, Orko looks completely different, plastic cape on Scareglow, CG, and everything else. I don't think the goal is a straight recreation, though perhaps since the He-Man head stuff it has started to lean more in that direction. The first 3 waves were definitely more like "heavily inspired" by the vintage toy line, rather than an attempt at recreating the same thing.

I'd want the latter, personally. We already have 3 Hordaks compared with only having 3 actual minions for him(if you just lump the 3 flavors of Horde Trooper under one banner). Let's at least get Mantenna in hand before trotting out another Hordak. (Though I'd prefer to also get Leech as well before Hurricane Hordak).

>>9610708 >>9610729 On that note, I'd honestly like to know what will and will not see retail release in Origins.
And I don't mean a character by character breakdown in saying that, I just mean overall.
Like, with Kol Darr, for example, he's the first non-vintage Filmation OC, so does him being online exclusive set the precedent that ALL other non-vintage Filmation OCs will also be online only? Or do the more popular ones (like say Scorpia or Batros) make it to retail?
And I've heard arguments on both sides regarding all those new characters they've teased...one side saying they'll be online fodder because Mattel won't risk retail space on unknown untested characters, and the other saying that they'll be retail because they'll be necessary to pad the line with additional part-reuse characters since we're nearing the end of existing characters.
Anonymous
>>9610792 Mattel at Power-Con stressed that Masterverse is the line for all the various versions of MOTU. But I would think that Origins could certainly start getting some more non-vintage designs (barring the 200x we've already seen) probably once the vintage line and vintage adjacent (mini comics) designs are complete.
Anonymous
>>9610792 >Or do the more popular ones (like say Scorpia or Batros) make it to retail? >more popular ones like Scorpia I think that's jumping the gun when we haven't even seen an Origins Catra.

Quoted By:
>>9610820 Yeah, I'm not expecting Origins to cover all the various iterations (like I don't expect to see Revelations, CGI or NA in Origins). I'm speaking more to the things that already linked or hinted at in Origins already (that's why I specifically cited Filmation where we only have 1 example, and the new characters from boxart teases for which we've gotten none unless you count Dupli-Cat and Spacesuit Man)
So far, Origins retail has only been vintage, minicomics repaints and 200x. New characters, Filmation and obscures (ie Wun-Dar) have so far been the online exclusive variety. I guess I'm just asking tl;Dr will it stay that way?

My enthusiasm for these toys would be better if the QC wasn't so bad. Paints look bad on a lot of samples I see. I can see damaged spots on flocked Panthors in their boxes. My BA He-Man has a lot of bad scratches on the thighs, I'm unsure if it was a molding issue or if a factory worker slashed at them. Wind Raider has 1 wing slightly curved, no amount of heating has straightened it. Land Shar's right panel(the one factory attached) is wobbly even though the one I had to put on is solid, while that same right side gun barely holds in place. I had to glue the peg down so it wouldn't wobble, add a wrap of tape around the base so the gun wouldn't droop & it still seems off.
Anonymous
>>9612677 Small change I actually like. Although I do find their lack of consistency odd. They give He-Man brand new armor that actually covers his back, yet everyone else has armor identical to the vintage ones. They give weapons like Tri Klop’s sword a hand guards but then don’t give one to Jitsu’s sword. It’s just weird how they decide when to stick to vintage accuracy or do something new

(I'm so fucking stoked for the concept version to see how it and Filmation compare side by side and which one will look cooler in Horde group shots. I'm honestly leaning towards concept version ultimately ending up better but we'll see)

So would Dragstor be slower riding Night Stalker, or what?

Are there any figures (from any line) where you like the action feature of gimmick, but for whatever reason, dislike the character it's attached to?

>>9613285 I like vintage King Hiss the character, but the figure definitely has problems. Also, he never took his disguise off after "King of the Snake Men" - he even sleeps in it!
Something went fundamentally awry with him.

A robot version of Modulok sounded amazing to me more so they were compatible with each other, but the serious lack of uniform parts/colors and the fact they both look more like people in suits just killed my interest completely
This isn't even taking into account lazy way of connecting all 3 sets of legs.

Webstor is a really nice figure, I liked him way more than I expected. Is the reason no one talks about him because his gimmick gets stuck and you have to help it along or risk breaking it?

Quoted By:
>>9613980 I liked the first Masterverse Skeletor head. It's not very accurate to Revelation, though. In any case I'd like a better look at the alternate head Barbarian Skeletor comes with. It doesn't seem like it'll be arriving in March.
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>9613997 I don't know if that's the full reason, but Webstor is one of those guys that feels like they just fell between the cracks
He's not one of the core characters from Skeletor's inner circle, he's not a ridiculous meme character like Stinkor, he's really underused in tie in media, people I think just forget that he's a thing, and that probably lessens the hype around him.

>>9613997 He is really nice. I always have him crawling around the inside or outside of the Castle on his string.
It would be so easy to make a Mega Construx version with the gimmick too. Sigh

>>9614338 Not likely at all.
The only ones I see happening are Sun Man to cater to diversity crowd and maybe Fuerza T because they are literally just made of preexisting MotU parts.

>>9614311 Honky Tonk Man looks based and I'm a sucker for the "Hollywood" Hogan look, but what I'd really like to have right now is for all of those fat, out of shape Mattel sweathogs to announce my guy Rick Rude cos he's perfect for this line.

When are they going to preview the next Origins wave? I need to know if Mantenna is great or lame.

March will be six months since powercon and six months until next powercon. Seems like the time to schedule it.
I want to know what the next deluxes and vehicles are gonna be, and I want to know when Wun-Dar and Kol Darr will go on sale and what those two "mystery" Mattel Creations toys they alluded to for this fall are going to be.

I sorta wonder what went on the development meeting for that.

"Approved!" - Hordak

Also it looks like Filmation decided "orange body" meant a Hulk Hogan tan rather than a firefighter's suit, and had him running around in the standard fur loincloth.
