>>9928083 There's still hope. Tomorrow is the design panel. Just because it wasn't displayed doesn't mean they won't maybe have a mock up to say it's in the works to be available sometime next year.
I mean, Eternia won't be retail, where Snake Mountain probably will be, so the two sets wouldn't be competing for retail space

>>9928607 On the whole I think everyone can agree with what you're saying--the influence of the Conan franchise (and Frazetta's gargantuan presence within it) on MotU cannot be overstated. There simply wouldn't be any MotU without it.
However, I'd make the argument that, despite Conan being MotU's foundational roots, the franchise--for better or worse--didn't truly have an identity of its own until we got the Filmation series and the weirder toy characters.
If you take away the "cheese" then what are we left with? Canon the Barbarian with some sci-fi bits? Make absolutely no mistake, I think that sounds awesome, but is it enough for a franchise to stand on its own?
I'd like a more adult take on MotU, but how do you do that without just making Conan the Barbarian again?
I don't think we're the only ones asking these questions. I bet you 100% it's almost exactly what Mattel is trying to answer with New Eternia: they're cutting straight back to the source in both lore and character designs, in what are undoubtedly the closest things we've have to the original art and comics since... the original art and comics. Whether or not they do anything with this beyond figures and character bios remains to be seen, but I'm excited for whatever they have planned.

While we're on the topic though, what works in the MOTU canon came the closest to capturing the Frazetta/Conan vibe? The early mini-comics? The DC comics?

>>9928634 Ok....Well, I'm drunk so please forgive me, or bear with me, or whatever.
Let's say, for instance, let's look at the back of the cards; where, it seems like, a lot of times, the characters seemingly run into each other while patrolling the borders of the nation states within eternia, or whatever; and they fight!
But like, what would really happen if, say, Beast Man ran into Teela during one of these encounters?
They would fight, yes; and then Beast Man, after overpowering Teela by virtue of his size and brute strength, would, in all probability, proceed to violently rape her.
It's in his nature. He is literally called, "Beast Man."
Ok...so, naturally, this pisses off all of the "good" warriors, particularly her father and suitor/lover (he man of course), and so now they've got a good grudge match going.
To complicate things even further, Teela becomes impregnated, and gives birth to, I don't know, fucking Stratos or whatever....
Point being; boom! fuck you Motu writers, get your shit together, I just made that up off the top of my head in 5 seconds and it's better than the last 40 years worth of dogshit you have vomited out - give the fans something different that they can sink their teeth into.
Anonymous
>>9928714 Ya lost me. If a MOTU comic, even an adult comic, came out and this happen it would rightfully be mocked for being too edgy.
Not that a sexual assault would never happen, but I feel like Teela, being a hero, shouldn't be the target of it. It's a fantasy world, it's not like Teela needs to have the strength of a real-life woman of her size. Presumably, if she's strapping on armor and heading out to battle, she can hold her own.

All the accesories would be ridiculously oversized compared to regular Origins toys, epspecially numerous ones that shoot missiles. Would be hard to squeeze then box. Or imagine Fire Armor Skeletor with Havok Staff that can shoot its head. How big it would have to be? Would he even be able to hold it?
Ice Armor gimmick can't work because it relies on Power Punch mechanism we dropped for better articulation.
Honestly, Battle Sounds are the only tricky ones but the others would result in oversived accessories that could be unwieldy to use.

but i enjoy motus more toyish gimmick obsessed and schizophrenic colourful design sensibilities
whereas frazettas work is often more "generic" fantasy and barbarians
i mean this in the nicest way possible btw, frazetta was less syklone, spikor, scareglow, skeletor in terms of straight up bizarre colourful characters that still retained their edge of spookiness so to speak
i will say some of the pop and 200x and onwards were indeed too far away from barbarians in loincloths a la frazetta to be appealing to me (except optikk, optikk is based as fuck)

>>9929578 Ive always heard the defense for not using Orko, and I get it to an extent, but the more you think about it the more it falls apart. Orko could have easily been a cute jim henson esc puppet, they could have filmed around him so that they wouldnt have to show him floating constantly, and for the few times they had to show him they could have used stop motion. I think all the budget they dumped into gwildor could have been better used for everything I just mentioned.

>>9929592 >>9929654 the deathwish sequels are unironically some of the best films ever made. there is zero attempt to ground them whatsoever and as a result they descend into total lunacy before abruptly switching back to the grim and depressing tone of the original film. Its fucking hilarious.

>>9929248 The funniest thing is that while previous toy might have used magic spell this looks way more like contraption Orko put together. I can see this in episode, Orko exitedly showing his new anti-snake weapon while Duncan facepalms and reminds him he's not allowed to snoop around in his lab and later in episode, Orko is chased by Rattlor and he takes him down with this ridiculous thing.
>>9929496 I'd love to see Tri-Klops used as scout and hunter (It's a common niche in MOTU like Mantenna or Mekaneck) sadly the only cartoon to really use him like that had him outsource work to Doomseekers.
I also like idea that while Triklops might he engineer, Trap Jaw might the "car guy" who keeps Robots running and changes Spydor's oil. It suits him.

Snake Armor Skeletor had gimmick in his shield - move skull decoration down and spikes extend from its sides.

>>9929578 Those were early days of toy-selling shows. He-Man was He-man, no one thought about making movie He-Man toy same reason we didn't had cartoon He-Man toy. I think movie was just going to act as brand commercial the same way cartoon did and Gwildor and boys got adapted same way Orko did. Who knows, if movie did well and line didn't die maybe we would get Karg too and maybe those stormtroopers guys. Maybe if it went really well they would consider movie He-Man, Skeletor or Man-At Arms.
Althought some argue that Laser Power He-Man and Laser Light Skeletor were movie-based.

>>9930053 >$22 million I make it animated.
It costs, on average, 10-20k per minute of animated footage so a 2 hour movie would cost around $2.4m. We'll round that up to $5m to make sure that all the combat scenes look awesome, clean up all the animation, and there's no derp in any backgrounds.
$1m on the script (writing, re-writing, sending the worst writers on a one-way trip to some random third world country, etc.)
After that, I'll spend say... $10m (with leeway for a bit more if Dolf refuses) bringing back as much of the original cast as I can, to either voice their original characters or to be cameos.
Another $1m to cover additional VA costs, because fuck it.
$2m to cover crew fees, more if I can manage to get enough suckers to fully delegate 99% my duties, leaving me to only have to sign off/check on the occasional thing.
After that, whatever is left over is mine to claim for having to wrangle that shit-show.

>>9930053 >You're told to make sequel to original MOTU movie. You have barely bigger budget than that thing. What you do? it sounds ridiculous, but I'd take a page out of the sonic films playbook. essentially the first third of the movie would be heman on earth reconciling with the inhabitants of that small town from the first film, before going off and doing actual motu stuff on "eternia" (aka some random deserts and forrests in the american south west, that were recolored in post). Skeletor would return as a partial cyborg as a nod to laser light/new adventudres, and his whole motivation would be unleashing the horde on eternia through the use of some cosmic radio tower macguffin. Heman and friends defeat Skeletor but remain unaware of the horde until the last minute, and then the sequel hook would be Hordak being informed of Eternia by some horde troopers. Most of the movie would look like Van Damme's cyborg anyways, since that film kind of is a sequel to canon's motu.

So this is the best quality concept art we have of the early She-Ra design often called "He-Ra" (an early name idea for her). She-Ra went through a shitload of different designs and they quickly decided that she would be He-Man's sister rather than his girlfriend/lover. You'd think this was a design quickly forgotten given how fairytale princess She-Ra ended up looking.
Anonymous
>>9930790 However here is that design (with some modifications, like being more covering in the midriff) in Tom Sito's storyboards for "Battle for Bright Moon" the final part of the She-Ra introductory story. Easy to tell it's this design because of the emblem on her chest, the shape of her head wings and the shape of her boots. I wonder if Sito just liked that design more or if it was still in the cards when this was storyboarded.

>>9930790 I think this would be a great design for filling in the origin of She-Ra. They didn't bother to do consistent worldbuilding: the Sword of Protection has been in Castle Grayskull since Teela-Na was 15 years old, yet the stone set where the blade meets the guard can only be repaired by the fire spirits of the First Ones in Etheria's underworld, implying they made that.
So I'd like to see a first Princess of Power. Maybe the First Ones were Eternian astronauts and she protected Etheria in their time with a modified second Power Sword, but there was a "Recall" spell to Castle Grayskull if the owner died with it rather than passing it to a successor.
Light Hope did say "Welcome She-Ra, Princess of Power, long have I waited for you", which is otherwise just fantasy mentor word salad.
Anonymous

Stratos and Frosta are also a part of that wave. The picture they showed is the exact same one from that leak a while back.
They also showed Shadow Weaver who comes with what was shown. Those bare arms will be hidden underneath soft goods robes for her arms. They said she has articulated 'legs', but I think they just mean she has a socket that goes into the ball of her stand.

Well that panel was disappointing. A couple new reveals immediately followed by something negative. Grizzlor is coming, but Creations exclusive. Kobra Khan and Rattlor, but no action features. Eternia, but no price

I'd skip, except it looks extremely unlikely that Mega will get around to him and the Hordesmen/other Snakes I want him to interact with.

>>9931856 I'm a bit disappointed about Rattlor because I always wanted one with a functioning gimmick, but I still love him and his look, so I'll definitely still grab him.
Masterverse only had the 2 bonus reveals from the leak, so no surprise, but I'm really surprised and happy about how much Roboto is coming with. Good to see Sorceress Evil-Lyn too, though she comes with so little. She didn't actually do much in this form, so I kind of get it, but maybe a magic effect, at least.

In one hand is nice to have a bigger more detailed body, but on the other hand I feel this kinda betrays the original gimmick a little, also that weird ring around the neck of the snake head is strange.
At least it seems you get a fully articulated human king hiss from it, so that's something.

These are perfectly fun kids' toys. Has Mattel done recent focus groups confirming that 6-year-olds don't like He-Man unless they put him in pants and a sleeveless shirt, so they're a total write-off when it comes to these designs? Or are they just assuming based on decades-old negative experience with kids and the 200X toys?

>>9931954 Mattel has triggered the downfall of MOTU revival with there idoitic idea of make MOTU NFTs. It's all downhill from here boys.

The skeletons and Grizzlor being web exclusive is weird and I suspect a bad call, but I don't think worth all the doomsaying. There's also all the Tuesday reveals lined up.

Nothing was too eye-catching to me save for Stratos and Pig Head. The New Adventures He-Man didn't look very good at all. I think they needed a juicier surprise (Shadow Weaver coomers need not supply the juice). That's just my taste, though.
